Designer - Object outlines stay visible after hover on blocked layer (solved: snap candidates feature)

[bitblitter]

Hello, In some situations object outlines stay permanent after hovering over them, even if the layer that contains them is blocked.

It doesn't appear when exporting, but it's a bit annoying especially when having quite a few layers.

I attached a file with the specific issue ( bug-afdesigner-permanent-object-outlines-win11.afdesign ), so it hopefully can be replicated.

Software and system info:

• Affinity designer version: 2.5.5
• OS: Windows 11 Home
  Version: 22H2 
  OS version: 22621.4317
  Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1041.0
• PC: Lenovo Legion 15ACH6H
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop (GA 106M)
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
• Display: 2x 1440p monitors, issue appears on both

Those look like you have Show snapping candidates turned on.

Oh, thanks! that's correct!

I probably messed up with the snapping options at some point...

Thanks a lot, turned out it was not a bug, but a feature this time
