FWIW I quite like the proposal in the bug report Brynn linked to, whereby a
third option other than "last used style" or "tool's own style" is
available. As I understand it, the third mode would behave like "tool's own
style" when a file is first opened or a new document created, then switch
to behaving like "last used style" during the course of editing. This has
the advantage of starting each session from a known state, but also
tracking changes to the state throughout the course of a session.

It won't stop people getting into a situation where they accidentally
create invisible objects, but it will make it more likely that the default
newbie reaction of "quit and restart the program" would get them back to a
(perceived) working state.

Regards,

Mark
