As this stands, this is only a request for the developers to take another look at the code that causes shapes to sometimes be treated as photos/bitmaps.

I have a drawing with several bitmaps in it that were drug in from Explorer. I did a lot of line tracings. Then I started to create shapes, and I was surprised when the first shape I drew didn't show up, but the nodes were visible. The status line showed something like "1 photo on layer X". After a lot of messing around, I finally got it drawing shapes again. Then I drug another bitmap in, and the next shape was again treated as a bitmap! I saved the drawing and reopened it, and it started off correctly drawing shapes again.

I tried to figure out a reproducible sequence that recreates this annoyance, but have been unsuccessful so far. Therefore, all I can do is ask for the developers to take another look at that portion of the code. I'll keep trying to find a reproducible means of recreating this, but I'm not guaranteeing success as I've already wasted 20 minutes on it.
