    Default Xara Designer Pro+ v 24.1.1 (4th July 2024) Shape disappear in wire-frame.

    I like the new select line attributes but one issue I have is that shapes are only visible in wire-frame if the attribute is set to 'stroke centered on line'. Either the other options, inside or outside, make the shape disappear in wire-frame. Not very intuitive.

    Egg, in Outlines, my Shapes are always showing regardless of the Stroke alignment. Try right-click in the document tab to force a refresh. It might be your graphic card, try changing the zoom.

    Outlines have never shown the Line itself. For example, if you have set a Line Stroke, you do not have a clue that it is there is a stroke there either.
    If you want to see the 'lines' in Outlines then you could Select All, Clone, Group and Convert Lines to Shapes and the Outline view.

    It could be my graphics card Acorn but it doesn't happen if strokes are in&out the shape, never has. But it's happening now since this feature was introduced. I'll fire up my old desktop and see how that handles it but it will have to wait until after the football now.

    It only appears to happen on shapes with no stroke. Apply a stroke and it appears correctly whatever line attribute is set.

    Egg, I can now reproduce that after you mention "no stroke".
    If fails when the Line Width is None and Outer or Inner Stroke alignment is chosen when in Outlines mode.
    Change None to 0px and all works as expected.

    Football?

    Thanks for the confirmation Acorn. I'll report it.
