Illustrator guides reset current fill and stroke settings.

Question

While developing a new illustrator plugin I have been trying to get the plugin tool to use smart guides while click-dragging. Have not been able to get this right yet but now I seem to have corrupted the normal ruler guide system. Whenever I drag out a ruler guide the current fill and stroke are both reset to none. Have removed the plugin but this outcome persists. How do I get the guides to not affect the current fill/stroke settings? I have tried clearing the Illustrator cache and resetting Illustrator to original settings but the problem persists.

Also, any suggestions on how to get the smart guides to work with my plugin would be greatly appreciated.

Guides do not have a fill and stroke. When guides are set to unlocked they are selected when created and that selection is reflected in the fill/stroke none. When the guides are set to locked, the fill/stroke stays as it was.

You probably need to describe what operations your plugin does. Maybe show a video of what is happening? If you do not want to publicly show that, maybe join the prerelease?
