How to get rid of "magenta fadeout"?

[LostInTranslation]

Hi,

sometimes when deselecting objects in AD, they get a magenta outline and "fade out", rather than just become deselect.

I find this extremely annoying, how can I get rid of this behaviour? Looked through the preferences, but did not find anything.

Thanks for any help.

Hi @LostInTranslation,

Welcome to the forums. 

The pink lines are snapping candidates. You can turn this on by going to View > Snapping Manager and unticking Show Snapping Candidates. 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Hi Gabe,

before my post, I googled it and found exactly that.
"Show Snapping Candidates" is definitely turned OFF, it still happens

Try this: Create two rectangles of any size. Select both and group them. Then click somewhere other to deselect them.
Instead of just be deselected in an instant, both rectangles will be outlined in magenta then slowly fade into being deselect.

Select and deselect the same group again and it will not happen any more.
I don't know how to record that into a video, but follow my description and you will see.

When I open any of the "UI sheets" of Grade UI Kit and klick on any element, this will happen too. "Show Snapping Candidates" still OFF!

Hi LostInTranslation,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Change the Candidates dropdown option to something else other than Candidate List.
