Hello,

I have encountered quite an annoying bug concerning the guides. Though is is set a black in the style, Sketchup keeps on displaying the guide in white, which make it impossible to be seen, unless we select it. Here is a screencast. Any idea of what is wrong?

(just in case 🙂 , the tag = balise isn’t the most obvious translation)

Guides are one of the non-geometry entities that are safe to have a tag.
