Outline on transparent Object

[DarkClown]

I guess I'm getting old ... been working with Affinity for 7 years now and suddenly you come across some stupid thing that seems not worth mentioning but you don't get the clue.

I just draw a simple ellipse, turn filing and contour off (transparent) ... But the ellipse still appears on the screen als outline and I can't get rid of this. Checked all setting (most likely overlooked the importend stuff). In the picture you see an ellipes selected and a copy of it unselected. And the filling setting. From my understanding it shoud not show up. So, who's the first to tell me I'm stupid 🙂 (and most important: WHY!) 🙂

The colour tells me that those are snapping candidates. Either turn Snapping off entirely, or change your settings.

That was the issue. Thx for the quick response and help!

In this case (the snapping candidates' magenta outline), I frequently hunt for the magenta outlines, can't see them and then eventually realize I have snapping turned off. This is followed by "Wait, what thing was I wanting to have snapped to which thing?" And then repeat because I still have the snapping off.

Interestingly, this option doesn't work properly because an ellipse with No Fill and No Stroke settings (or 0% opacity) is definitely not "visible".
So the wording should rather be - objects with enabled Visibility 🙂

In terms of wording this is indeed true!
