    It's a huge issue! What sense does it make to not be able to see guides and bounding boxes when moving objects?

    Same issue! Guides disappear when moving - defeats the purpose!

    Bumping this because it's still an issue for many people

    Just update to Illustrator 25 and when I try to click on guides they disappear. They also do it when I move and release them. Disabling Real-time drawing or using CPU view does not fix the issue. Very annoying

    Me too! Frustrated beyond belief at the time lost over this bug. When costs increase so does the number of bugs. Maybe Adobe needs to reduce the price to reduce the bugs?
    I agree, blend Illustrator CC with Affinity today and you'd have the Golden Child of vector applications.
    Please post a fix to this issue, ASAP!

    Every time I select a guide it disappears, this is totally unacceptable...

    Command + E fixed it for me...

    Needs fixing ASAP, I'm losing precious design time working around this bug. Begrudged paying a monthly subscription for this not being fixed.

    I am experiencing this issue as well. It's suppper annoying. Please help adobe

    While in GPU Preview every guideline is disappearing when I grab and drag it. As soon as I let it loose it appears. It's very hard to position a guideline accurately if you can't see it.
    In CPU Preview it works, but the overall performance is worse.

    Have the same annoying problem, they haven't fix it!

    Please, fix this big problem. It's important to see the guide while moving it.

    when dragging guides it disappears, please fix it.

    This is really annoying why it isn't implemented yet. Being able to see where guides are going helps out a ton.

    Bumping this again in the hopes it gets fixed with the MAX release...

    This is an infuriating bug! Thought it was me until I read this page. Jumping in and out of Illustrator and Affinity Designer but that is another story. Mix them together and there is a perfect piece of software.

  • Léandre commented  ·   ·  Report

    When the option "Real-time drawing and editing" is activated, the guides disapear when we move them
