Realtime Preview makes guides and objects without fill and stroke disappear when moving
In Illustrator 24.1 the real time editing feature makes guides or other objects that have no fill or stroke or an object with a white fill and no stroke disappear when moved.

There is no GPU Preview option in Illustrator 25.0.1. The closest option I could find in Preferences is the Performance option (see screenshot). The settings in the screenshot are default. What should they be changed to in order to render my guides when dragging or rotating them?

@Katie it seems that is something with the gpu preview. So in the meanwhile change the gpu preview to cpu: ctrl+E / cmd+E

I am having the same issue when I select two guides and try to move or duplicate them by holding alt and dragging on PC (Windows 10), the guides disappear while they are in motion and reappear when they are motionless. It is impossible to use guides effectively with this buggy issue. Please fix ASAP!!

Has anyone found the solution to the guides issue? The guides are there and visible when you create them, but as soon as you try to move them they disappear???!!? This totally defeats the purpose of guides in general...so ******. This needs to be fixed ASAP!!! I wish I never updated illustrator and Photoshop. This is making my life and I'm sure many others much more difficult.

Same problem and, as a teacher, I find the same bug on several different machines/os/gpu. Please fix it asap!

No, it's not. By default "control/command + E" toggles between GPU/CPU rendering modes. On Retina screens with scale CPU mode is incredibly laggy

Guys, Control/Command + E is the solution to this problem.

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

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...

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.Illustrator 25.0
