Layout 2026.2 – Clipping mask bounding shape colour showing

I use a dedicated colour for a clipping mask bounding box.

The expected behaviour when you create the mask is that the colour of bounding shape does not show.

Today the bounding box colour is “randomly” showing after creation.

If you enter edit mask mode and exit, the colour does not show but it ends up showing later again.

I wonder if this is related to the very annoying text colour change issue when the text inspector is open…?

Severity – very annoying and needs to be fixed ASAP because it is reducing my productivity.

Hey Paul, do you have any idea how frequently this happens? I’ve been testing this out and the only time I see it is when editing the clipping mask.

Austin,

I have tried to replicate this with the file in question but it hasn’t occurred since.

I’ll monitor and report back with a gif and file if it happens again.
