It sounds like you've changed the grid spacing setting. Click preferences>grid spacing and set it to the default "0" setting. Using other values can give odd spacings (especially when an odd number is used for this setting. Even numbers seem to work better). Another odd behavior is that when zoomed in far enough, it can give rectangles that are very wide compared to their height. But using the standard setting generally works well. I believe Patrick has mentioned that this will be improved in V.3. -John
