I was just experiencing an issue with grid snapping: I wanted objects to be pixel-aligned, so I turned on a 1px grid with snap.
However, Inkscape only draws lines every 10px or so, and this is the snap I end up with. I have to zoom to 800% to be able to get single-pixel snap, which is too close to be able to see what I want to do.
I went to report this as a bug but it's already been reported as 1505815 which is marked WONTFIX on the grounds that this is intentional.
What's the rationale behind this behaviour? Without wanting to revisit it too much if this has been discussed before, I can think of only one reason why this is beneficial:
1. What you see is what you get.
Whereas under my expected behaviour (specified grid was respected)
1. What you specify is what you get. 2. Zoom-independence. 3. Can work at 1:1 and use grids finer than 8px. 3. Everything else I've tried works this way eg. XaraLX, Flash
Put another way, would anyone have any objections to re-opening this?
