Curved paths not honouring guide styles / Guides are not dotted
When converting artwork to guides, anything that has a curved path does not show the guide style set up in preferences. In my case I have guides set up as a dashed line with a light grey colour. What I'm seeing is a solid black line. Happens in AI 29.6.1 and the beta 29.7 88. Sample shows two shapes converted to guides but the ellipse remains as a solid black line. Using MacOS 14.7.6.

This applies to all files.
When the option to select guide type (in preferences) is selected as dotted lines the lines do not become dotted. This means it is very distracting when trying to use guidelines as they look the same as the artwork.
Essentially, switching to "dotted line" for guides just doesn't work. -
I confirm this. Happens only with curved paths and only with GPU Preview mode.
