Why would that be smarter? Do you want to snap the bounding box of only the item that's under the mouse pointer, instead of the bounding box of each item in the selection?

Take a look on http://ftpmerou.free.fr/inkscape/snap-bounding-box-selection.png to see what I mean. I just want to snap to the middle bounding box of the "middle man" not the bounding box of all the selection. In the case I want to snap to all the selection, I will group it.

Yes, now I see! Somethings is not working out the way it should. Probably there are many nodes in your paths, in which case Inkscape only considers the convex hull. That's because snapping many nodes might take too long. Obviously, this shouldn't be an issue when snapping only bounding boxes; on top of that, it should say "convex hull to grid intersection" in 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; just draw three rectangles, select them all, and try to snap their bounding boxes.

Anyway, I will fix this if you want; it would be helpful if you could send me your svg file for testing.
