NPriore Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I've only been using AD for a couple of weeks and I find it easy to use, but after I updated to the latest version yesterday I notice this issue with these purple outlines on objects. Whenever I hover my mouse over an object, a purple outline appears on that object. As I hover my mouse over other objects the same thing happens to those objects. That outline does not go away when I move the mouse cursor away from the objects. It does go away eventually but I don't know why it takes so long to disappear. AD was not behaving this way before the update. Is this a bug or a setting that I now need to adjust? I searched the forums and the help file but could not find anything related to this issue. Please help! Thanks. See the video I've attached. _selection_problem.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPriore Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 I think I found what was causing the problem. In the "snapping" options I unchecked "show snapping candidates" and that appears to resolve the problem. I don't know how or why that option was turned on but it looks like that was the problem.

Staff MEB Posted February 5, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hi @NPriore, Welcome to Affinity Forums Yes, the purple lines do represent snapping candidates. You can partially disable them as you did or by changing the Candidates dropdown to something other than Candidates List.

I'm enjoying working with it. New features are great. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
