Split into Grid draws guides wrong on multiple artboards or with custom origin
Tdlr: horisontal guides made with "split to grid" go onto the first artboard, when they shouldn't.
I use split to grid to make myself a grid to work on and it works fine on a single artboard. But if i try to make split to grid on any other artboard than the first one, it sends the horisontal guides to the first artboard and keeps the vertical ones on the correct one. The lines stay grouped and can be moved, but it takes extra time and effort.
This happended on different machines.
Writing this on a phone, but I can make a screenshot if asked for.

This has been going on for over 14 years, starting with CS5 and continuing through CC 2025. It's not about artboards, it's about the fact that guides are drawn relative to the fixed coordinate system of the document, not the object to which we apply "Split into grid"! The guides should be drawn according to the dimensions of the selected object. It's shoddy software development.

Why the **** isn't this fixed yet? Adobe takes away all our money and doesn't even bother listening to their customers.
