Slabs with cover fills interfere with distance guides

I started a new project today, and I noticed my distance guides weren't working suddenly. I looked around online and found this topic: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Evoking-Distance-guide/td-p/647622, which showed that apperently some slabs interfere with distance guides when cover fills are toggled on (see video for example).

 

While I'm happy I can now see distance guides again, I would like to be able to use cover fills too. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to wait for an update?

Hi @StijnvdnHeuvel ,

 

I could reproduce your case & found it a display order issue, so try to send that covered slab backward or to back that'll solve the problem.
