--- Comment #2 from Gerhard Mesenich <[email protected]> --- Just checked with a new installation (4.3) and a new profile. Grid snap now works fine here exactly as you say. Your feedback has been very helpful for me; sorry for my hickup. Apparently several things got screwed up here in a row: I am using a non-standard setup with heavily adjusted toolbars and other settings for an efficient work flow according to my needs; I have then copied mayor parts of the profile from version to version and used the same one under winXP and Linux as well. The 'bug' may or may have not been there; it seems to have gotten into my setup sometime in the past. Then I found similar complaints somewhere, so I assumed a LO bug without much further investigation. Since all setups here were used with the same profile, the same behaviour showed up in all kinds of setups (I have LO running on one Desktop and several Pen-Tablet-PCs, multiboot). In addition to that, I have tried to fix the 'issue' by 'experimenting' with the grid settings. My goal was to get an exact 1mm resolution here. I ended up with a 0.1 mm setting, which kind of works under high zoom settings :), but was not the intended result. Confusing Grid settings: I was put on the wrong track by the wording on the Grid-setting pane (Options); which I think is confusing. The wording should probably be changed as follows, to leave less room for doubt: Resolution --> Major Grid spacing Subdivision --> Minor grid spacing (Resolution, granularity or Grid-spacing) In engineering, the term 'Resolution' is always used for the smallest granularity of a setting, which is just the opposite of the current meaning in LibO. In the pop-up help there is no hint about the spacing, which should be added there. The unclear non-standard wording may very well have been the major cause of some Grid screw-ups with other users too. The issue may be closed as resolved, but a clearer wording of the grid settings should be considered. --- Further related comments see: [Bug 77818] Draw - Grid looks dull, lacks visual guidance (will be reopened by me for additional template posts for review) Now using: My 2mm Grid template there on a separate grid layer, Resolution 1mm, Subdivision 1 space, ==> 1mm resolution LibO grid invisible and exactly matched to the template, working fine. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
