I just want to snap to the middle bounding box of the "middle man" not the

... tooltip instead. So I'm not 100% sure what's going on here. I'm pretty
sure though that Inkscape usually looks at the individual boundingboxes,
as you want it to;

Hhm, apparently I was wrong. But if we make it behave like you suggest, then this will only work for translations and not for scaling/stretching. That's because for these operations we use the handles of the selection and we cannot use only a single boundingbox (from one of the items in that selection). Although I like your proposal, I don't like the inconsistency we will get in return, i.e. snapping for translations is different from the snapping for scaling/skewing. Do you happen to see a way to work around this?
