Bug in 1.5 - Guide lines are selected with green rectangle selection

Hi guys,

I used the 1.5 beta and saw that it’s fully released now. I just noticed that I missed reporting a bug (in my opinion it’s a major bug, but maybe there is a reason for this).

If you have some guide lines dragged in your workspace, added some objects and then select those objects with the green rectangle selection (how you ever call that correctly :-), then the guide lines are selected as well. This not only makes guide lines less useful, it also makes the outer boundaries of the objects move to an insane value. You can not resize objects with the mouse anymore.

Selection:

Result:


The center of the selection is somewhere and not useful anymore.

(zoomed out)

Maybe it’s just me, but shouldn’t those guides be never selected in such an operation? I know that I could lock them, but it should be the other way around - not selected in usual operation and maybe an option to include them in selection.

Or did I just miss something and there is a very good reason to have it like this? :slight_smile:

This seems to have been highlighted recently.
