Okay, after some dumbness on my part, I figured out this patch. I changed it very slightly to conform to the calling conventions of the function the change was in, but the bug is still fixed: the bezier line tool wasn't snapping it's initial point to the grid. Excellent find!
- Resolve the issue whereby changing grid snap units from pixels to mm
is not noticed. Fuller explanation is in the comments I added and in the patch tracker.
This turned out to be two bugs, and I initially only fixed the one I uncovered, rather than the one the patch fixed. ;) Since I'm so unfamiliar with grids and snapping, Carl had to clarify this problem for me before I understood what was going on. But, as a result, now two bugs are fixed.
Thanks for putting up with me Carl! :)
One strange behavior still exists, and this just might be "by design". In "Dialogs / Document Preferences / Grid" if I switch "Snap units" from "px" to anything else (or back), the "Snap distance" stays the same. If I change "Snap units" from anything not "px" to anything else not "px", unit conversion is performed. Is this just a "feature" of the pixel unit?
