This looks like it could be fixed with a simple string change. PS while checking this, I noticed that "Snap" is under "View", which doesn't seem right.
I've fixed these issues with the menu, but the Guides menu item is well out of whack with the boolean option it controls.
- Open a new document
- Look at View menu, Guides is unchecked
- Drag a new guide onto the page
- Look at View menu, Guides is unchecked
- Click on Guides menu item
== guides disappear but guides menu now checked. Checkbox is now the opposite of effect.
- Open a new document
- Click on Guides so it's 'checked'
- Create a new guide
- Click on Guides menu item to uncheck it.
== guides disapear and the guides menu is unchecked. Check is now the right way around.
Clicking on the rulers to hide/show guides is unhinged from the view menu check too.
I looked at the events, the snap menu item had the same problems before I removed it. No link between the setting being set and the checkbox on the menu item.
The verbs system needs fixing to support checkboxes. There's no reason a verb shouldn't have hooks into our document or application preferences.
AFAIU this issue is limited to desktops with global menubars (Ubuntu Unity, OS X with native menubar integration via gtk-mac-integration):
