I guess it makes some sense to stop displaying some grid lines when zoomed out at a high level. No one wants to look at a solid grid.
But, when I go from 100% to 70% zoom and my grid goes from every 10 pixels to every 50 I get a little irked. I also think this is rightfully so.
Besides, the grid does have the option for me to *choose* how to display minor and major grid lines. If I had to I could have minor grid lines set to zero alpha and major grids to a specific color. That way if I'm working on a large piece and I zoom out I could easily make the grid as loose or tight looking as I wanted by adjusting the how many lines there are between a major grid line.
Honestly I'm having a hard time getting some of the grids to do specifically what I want to set up a Celtic Key Patterns and Knots.
I guess I'm just a control freak and will have to resort to creating grids more suited to my work via the cloned tile option.
Thanks for the reply.

Okay, I'm getting really cheesed with the grids on Inkscape. Why does

Thanks for the help,

Just in case, did you notice that when you zoom out some lines are not shown, didn't you? In my case, when I go from 566% to 800% zoom level I see a lot more lines on the grid (using the default rectangular grid). Apart from that I don't see any confusing behavior.
