IPadOS - Sticky Layer Labels

[awakenedbyowls]

Not sure how else to describe it - keep getting this (see photos)

A semi-transparent Layer from the Layers Panel is stuck there - if I close the file and go back in it gets rid of it (Correction: I have to close the program down to get rid)

Also having problems with pink lines tracing round curves and that only way I get get rid is to refresh the file - not sure if related

5th Gen iPad Air

Sorry if I might have put this in the wrong subforum - please move it if I have

You've posted to the macOS bugs forum, but your topic title says iPadOS which has its own bug forum.

A moderator will probably move this for you.

Hi @awakenedbyowls,
The stuck layer is a glitch in the UI. Does it happens frequently for you or it's just occasionally? Are you able to reproduce it at will? Do you know in what circumstances does it happen/gets stuck? Are you drawing with your fingers or using an Apple Pencil or similar devices? I can't reproduce it at the moment but I will keep trying.

Regarding the pink lines, go to the Snapping Options (the small button on the right of the Magnet icon in the top right of the interface) and change Candidates to Immediate layers or Immediate layers and children (anything but Candidates list).

Yes I realised after I posted here and edited it - I figured it would just get moved - which it has

I'll keep an eye out for what might be causing it and get back

I have set the Snapping Options to what you said - see how that affects things but it should matter if Snapping is turned off

@awakenedbyowls,
If snapping is turned OFF it does not matter - that's correct. But if you are seeing them is because you have it ON. If you need it ON but do not want the pink lines to appear or flash then set the Candidates in the snapping options as explained above. These pink lines identify which objects are snapping candidates so they only appear if you have the option Candidates list selected in the Candidates field of the Snapping Options.
