Help W/ Trim tool not trimming as expected

[aplourdeZ397V]

My trim tool is not working as expected, and I swear it used to work differently. 

I have tried many different system variables to fix, but nothing seems to work. 

But basically, I am in quick trim mode, and when I go to trim a line, if the next boundary line i want to trim to is off my screen, it will just delete the line instead. 

Is there any way to fix this so it will trim to a boundary line even if it is not in my "view" 

Please let me know.

Edit: pretty much if anyone is able to test ok their autocad if I’m tripping about this that would be great. Meaning see if you can trim to a boundary not in view of your screen and let me know!

yep, I can confirm that happens since 2022 will the Trim Quick Mode was added.

Try Trimextendmode = 0.  to get the classic trim command.

I'm guessing you're using 2025.  The default trim commands uses all linework as a cutting edge when launched - You could type T and select you cutting edge(s).

Another words the only way is to don't use the Quick mode (this mode did not exists in AutoCAD 2020) which unfortunately the OP wants:

"But basically, I am in quick trim mode,"

FYI @aplourdeZ397V the other way to switch from Quick to Standard mode is at the TRIM prompt:

This simple lisp line will allow you to do that... unless they are in xref or so...

(command-s "trim" "all" "")

It just selects all objects as trim edges.
