Constraint Icon more difficult to target and reveal with another sketch visible ??

Sketch1 and Sketch2.

I notice that when I edit Sketch2, the constraint icons in the center of the square require more careful targeting to get the icons to appear, if Sketch1 is visible. If I hide Sketch1, the constraint icons in the center of the square take minimal effort to target and have them appear.

Is this normal behavior? Am I doing something to cause this?

Sorry folks, I'm having difficulty using the screencast instructions to attach the screencast I created for my post.  So, here's another attempt by merely attaching an MP4 of the screencast.  I hope this works.

Let me start out addressing your Screencast issue.  A lot of posters have an issue using the Paste a Screencast URL command and some have issues using the HTML command in the tools menu above (which I use).  I would recommend copying the Screencast URL link and using the Link command above, seventh icon from the left on the top line, to just add a link to your post.  I would also leave it in Screencast format since it has a lot of advantages over an MP4.

Addressing the issue you brought up in this post, this is normal behavior of some sketch constraints such as Coincident, they only show up if you are editing the sketch and you hover over key points containing the Coincident sketch constraints.  A lot of the other sketch constraints remain visible, as long as you are editing the sketch.

Thank you.

I'll try using Link in the future.  I appreciate you addressing this, it was a frustating experience for me.

Glad to know (and see in your screencast) that this is normal behavior and not something odd that I'm doing.
