I've created a few new documents in the most recent build of Inkscape (092.4) and I'm finding something different that I didn't anticipate. I'm assuming it's something I've done or clicked without knowing it.
When I create guidelines now they appear as expected, but no longer behave as expected once placed. When I hover over them they no longer turn red and no longer animate when moved. To remove them I have to ASSUME I've clicked on one and slide off the screen while assuming it's moving as you don't see anything happen.
Is this a bug or something I did?
An example file is attached. It has just two guides and I can't get either to turn red or animate.
I realize you had no way of knowing this, since you couldn't see your message right away. But it doesn't look like the file was attached. Your next message will go through moderation too. But after that, your messages will post normally.
I started to answer this in the other forum, but I didn't really have any good ideas. It sounds a lot like a performance issue to me. But it also sounds like these are new docs, and therefore not really susceptible to performance issue.
Given the the SVG is 24mb (oddly the file picker shows it as just 12) that's likely the issue as you mentioned on the other site. Oh, also, I did attach a file which appeared in the draft, but then when I hit the moderation bit I assume that dumped it perhaps?
My issue is that this doc has literally DOZENS of embedded images and that's something I can't really get around. I could take a TON of time to reduce the size of each of them as I mainly end up resizing in the doc itself down from MUCH larger sizes, but that would take forever just to keep performance up. I assumed with my system (top-end gaming rig) that I'd have no such issues, but I guess I do!
Do you see the same problems when a new document or just in this very large document?
I see it only after some elements are added. I just found it in a "busy" document, but one that's a FRACTION of the size of the above file. This file is 1.67MB while the other file is 24MB in size. This smaller file has zero imported objects and is just mainly a bunch of text,
I tried to upload it, but I'll be darned if I can figure out how the attachments here work. I click the Attachment button on the bottom left and then click the blue Upload File button which brings up a file dialog and I select the file, but nothing seems to change and no file appears.
This sounds very much like a bug, not something we can answer. So details (and the files) should be uploaded to https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/issues
Well, after a quick check by a dev, they suggested that SOMEHOW (and I don't think it was me, but likely was) the TINY (and wow is that the right word) lock button got clicked and it has no different look for when that happens so the locked state of guides was happening with all my docs somehow. UGH.

That makes sense. Do you have a HiDPI display? If so the Inkscape 1.0 (currently in alpha) will have much bigger icons.
