nice one Gary... there just had to be a way...

thanks ernie - I will look into it further

guidelines do not disappear until I alter zoom -this may be graphics - nvidia gtx 1070 with latest studio drivers

I can right click and delete them

I cannot select and drag them as I could in versions 15/16 - the pointer icon does not change for this - it does look like I can manipulate position in the guide layer properties,, up to a point at least

I hate to ask but is the Guides layer locked?

What would be best to have different guide lines with different colors.

fair question but no, it's not...

the guide line seems much thinner than previous versions, and sometimes disappears on scroll even when the layer is not hid

Definitely weird. My Pro+ is as for all earlier versions.

I am beginning to think pro+ has issues with some hardware - i am going to check this with my other rigs, one of which is RTX20 and the other is intel graphics [laptop]

I'm on windows 10 20H2 but that should not make a difference

btw - it seems in pro+ I can neither hide the guide layer, nor drag the guidelines to new positions both of which i could in ver 15/16 ... ?

No problems here either HD

EDIT: Missed the above posts.

well turns out to be simple, and actually not new - if you have the outer margin set high [upwards of 16000 pix, it seems to vary] then the guides mis-behave;

was the same up to a point in ver 15.1 - I just happened to set up a default template in pro+ with a high outer margin value, don't think I ever noticed it before, or maybe forgot... like you do... I think...
