Guides do not stay as placed - Yash Pal - 11-05-2016
When I try to place the vertical guides (the ones I move from left hand ruler), they disappear as soon as I let go of the move tool. Earlier it was the horizontal guides which were playing this trick.
I have seen edit> preferences but could not make out what adjustments are wrong.
Can someone help me please to restore guides.
I almost always uncheck 'snap to guides' under 'view' when I try to place guides.
OS Ubuntu 14.04; GIMP - the version available in software centre (no addl plugins, plugouts)

try:
With a canvas open, so that entries are not greyed-out.
Menu View -> Show Guides and make sure it is enabled. The shortcut is shift-ctrl-t

Thanks. It worked. Actually, I unchecked (Show Guides was already checked) and rechecked 'Show Guides' under Menu > view, that did the trick.
