Hi

Long time no see - so long that I've had to reregister. I must be getting a bit better (though I only do pretty basic stuff).

I often have to trace an actual paper drawing, so I scan it in as a jpeg and insert in the usual way. For a while now, this has become difficult to do because however often I send the image to back or bring the polyline to the front, just moving my mouse over the photo (not selecting it) makes the line disappear and I've got a bit fed up with trying to work around this (I don't think it was always like this?)

I've attached my current example (there's only a single image in it at the moment), and thank you in advance for your patience and help.

Jackie

Jackie,
When you hover over the bitmap it gets highlighted.
This is expected behavior and not considered a bug.

Your problem is rather something for the forum.
And there are already several topics with exactly the same issue.

Place your bitmap on a dedicated layer.
Scale/rotate/align as preferred and apply some degree of transparency (Fade).
40 to 60% could be very useful.
Now lock the bitmap layer.

With locking the layer the bitmap will not get highlighted when the cursor is near it.

Regards,
CVH
