Aitor Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Designer v2. MacOS. When I deselect an object there is a fade effect to the color of the object's stroke. I would prefer to avoid this effect because it prevents me from seeing the result immediately. I have to wait for it to finish to continue my process. It is a short time, but it is repeated many times in the work process. On the other hand, the effect appears only sometimes and I don't know what it depends on or if it is a bug. In the attached video capture you can see how the effect is produced in some objects and not in another. I have two questions: Can I completely disable the effect? Does the appearance of the effect have a specific meaning? I would like to know why it appears sometimes and sometimes not.

GarryP Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 The fading purple outline is there because you have Show Snapping Candidates switched ON. Try turning them OFF via the Snapping drop-down – see attached image. Aitor 1 Quote

Snapping has something to do with the fade out effect because if I completely disable snapping, the effect disappears. But if I activate it and keep "show snapping candidates" inactive, the effect appears randomly by deselecting the objects. It must be a bug. Edited March 4, 2023 by Aitor Quote

Could it be that "Santiago" and "De Masarnau" are not Text Layers, but Image Layers or so? In that case only the edges of the layers would be highlighted, not the contours of the single characters. Possibly it could be helpful to upload a screenshot of the whole screen, including the Layers Panel visible. Quote

The same highlighting misbehaviour happens in AD 1.10.6, 2.0.4 and beta 2.1.0.1713 on macOS when snapping in Candidate List mode with 'Show snapping candidates' disabled. It really does appear to happen randomly, although there may be particular trigger that I've not noticed. Aitor 1 Quote
iconoclast Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 I checked it on my computer, but on Windows 10 with Designer 2.0.4. It seems to depend on if it is Artistic or Frame Text. If 'Show snapping candidates' is enabled, only Artistic Text is outlined in my case, as far as I could see. In case of Frame Text, the text frame is outlined. If it is disabled there are no outlines anyway. Could the problem have to do with this? Aitor 1 Quote

In that case all characters are outlined if 'Show snapping candidates' is active and not outlined if it isn't (no matter if they are selected or not, by the way). Think that this is the way it is meant to be. Must be a Mac-issue, I think. Aitor 1 Quote

It can be seen that the effect appears randomly on the same object. Grabación de pantalla 2023-03-04 a las 12.20.36.mov Edited March 4, 2023 by Aitor Quote

There should be no highlighting when 'Show snapping candidates' is explicitly disabled, and there certainly should not be sporadic random highlighting. Aitor 1 Quote
iconoclast Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Looks in fact like a bug to me. But it doesn't seem to happen on Windows. Aitor 1 Quote
Staff Lee D Posted March 7, 2023 Staff Posted March 7, 2023 We do have a few issues logged with our developers that relate to snapping candidates. Out of interest have you tried it in your document by having objects without groups? Aitor 1 Quote
