smart guides not working in clipping mask
I have had this problem for probably the last 3 versions or more ... but generally, when I've masked a number of objects inside of a clipping mask, then double-click to edit the contents inside the clipping mask, smart guides no longer function. Or, more correctly, very occasionally they will, but generally not.
I always update to the latest versions of Illustrator. Currently I'm using 25.2.1

So true :( And so little votes.
Unfortunately , the only workaround I can offer is to drag object inside of a clipping mask by path and use Cmd/Ctrl modifier to enable 'Snap to Cursor Position' mode.Please reply back if it helps at all.
