Hi,
When you draw a path using the pen with the grid enabled, the centre of the resulting path is snapped to the grid. However if you then drag that path around (using the select tool), the /edge/ of the path starts snapping to the grid. For my purposes I'd say that snap should always be to the centre of the path, but I can imagine that others might want to snap to the edge of it.
Any thoughts?
Carl

You sure it isn't just snapping to the bounding box when you drag it? The snapping code ignores almost all aspects of the shape once they are made.

Yes, you're right. Do people want this behaviour?
