Hi guys!

Going crazy here.

When creating stuff I always have a separate layer for guides....

I keep trying to select specific guides and they blink and that is it...can't select them?

The layer isn't locked, so I don't understand...

Having the same issue.

Adobe CC Ai 

Tried on different files and also created new file. Guides layer is unlocked. Still cannot select any guides (horizontal nor vertical)
