Could you please post screenshots taken at View > 100% with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible? 

 

I cannot reproduce the problem on Photoshop 25.3.1 on Mac OS 14.1.2.

The first line being 

if (documents.length) app.activeDocument.suspendHistory('Stroke Guides', 'main()');

the alert you get seems strange.

The screenshot error indicates that the script was saved as an RTF or Rich Text Format file - when it should have been saved as a plain text format file. This is a common issue for Mac users of Apple Text Edit app.

Thanks for you help. It seems to be solved now, with the script unchanged.

 

I redownloaded the one I send to my colleague, deleted the one in the folder, re-added it again and it's working.

 

Cheers
