Why is this happening?

after initial line logic:

the black pixels in r15c18 and r16c18 are both part of "2" clues in their respective rows but they cant both go to the left into c17 so either r15c19 or r16c19 must be black and you can dot r14c19 and line logic solves it out
no guessing

Wow, glad I found this one! No comments in 9 years.
And mootpoint, why IS this happening?

Maybe because you're not supposed to run WITH scissors.

I think this was one of a small series.

Found to be solvable by line and color logic alone by valerie.
