Guide Lines disappear

This is a known issue with SketchUp 7.1 that we're keeping an eye on.
So, how's the bug watching? It's only been a bit over 4 years and the bug still keeps appearing. Is there a chance something might be done about it or was that the last word? Just curious ...
-
Since then, there have been a completely new version and 2 maintenance release of that version already released.
Any fix can only be "delivered" if the users update their programs to the latest versions where they are (or at least might be) fixed.
-
I still see guide lines disappear in certain scenarios. Doesn't seem to have been fixed.

Same here using SU 8 M2
-
Well, when we tested v 7.1, there were a couple of "nice" examples but to tell the truth, I don1t get this on my computer (or maybe not noticeably frequently to bother me).
-
I'm getting this on version 8.0.3117 and its a real pain the arse!!!! soon as I zoom in to close bye bye goes the guide.

Hi Just wondered if this issue is being resolved
Thanks

Good news! I found that my video card needed an updated driver and that I was using a prior release SU-- seems as though I'd downloaded the update file but had not yet run it.
The guidelines seem to remain in place and I can create them without them disappearing although sometimes I still need to adjust the magnification in order to see them as I zoom in. -
This is still an issue with my install of SU8 MR5
-
Still a huge problem in Sketchup 2013. It is making my life miserable.

Hello, This issue hasn't been resolved as far as I can tell. I wonder if it's related to video cards. I'll take a look around here and see if there's another thread.
Oh, and I also have the issue of guidelines disappearing as I'm trying to apply them--
eg. I click on a rectangle with the tape measure tool, pull it in a direction, then type 2.71875 (2 23/32") and the guideline goes off into the ether. Where did it go?As for the more common issue of guidelines disappearing once there are in place, sometimes rotating your view helps, as does decreasing your depth of field with the magnifying tool.
My wager is we might see more sages try to offer solutions, Trimble might just fix it in another release (Google could not), and we'll never really know until it does actually work.
EDIT 8.25.13 Getting great support and feedback so far from Trimble-- and 2013 seems to be more stable than 8. Still some bugs to work out but it's getting better.

Having a similar problem here. It started while trying to draw a triangle onto a flat surface to copy/flip/paste as the basis of a dormer on a house. After laying out the coordinates with Tape Tool, I drew out the first right triangle. The guides shifted as though it was slightly under the surface, and fazed in and out as I navigated. When I attempted to copy, the entire surface was highlighted. This is an enclosed geometry issue. I sent all layers to the default and attempted again to confirm. Same problem. I then noticed that the guide was shifting not just in and out of view, but to the left and right of the line drawn onto the guide.
The issue seems to be progressive. I just upgraded from A 8800GTS 512m to a 650ti 2g about 2 weeks ago and have completed about 15 projects maxing at about 6000kb. This only begun last week, and is occuring in the begining of the project at about 2000kb.
