Hi Pierre,

This behavior you're reporting is indeed annoying and known. It was caused by some changes in the code base and default settings, but this should have been fixed in the latest versions IIRC. Have you tried using v0.91, with default settings and preferences, and with a new file? Or is this with an older version or with files made long ago. Was this a clean install, which has overwritten any previous preferences?

Best regards,

Diederik

Dear all,

I am new to Inkscape, and I'm very much in the discovery phase.

I'm trying to understand how snapping works (I am aware of the snap controls bar, of the snap tab in the preferences, and of the snap tab in the document's properties). It seems to work all right when creating a new object. However no snapping happens when moving an existing object. This behavior is very counter-intuitive to me. In GIMP for instance when snapping is enabled it works when moving objects too.

Is this the normal behavior ? If yes, how can I do precision work when copy-pasting objects (I need to draw a timeline, with 120 rectangles, one for each month for 10 years) ?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Pierre.
