Snapping when drawing vs. snapping when editing
Hi,
I am using the 0.42 release and I love the improvements, especially concerning the text and gradient tools.
But now here is my problem: I have set up a grid with spacing of 5 px and snap distance of 2px. Options "Snap bounding box to grid" and "Snap points to grid" are turned on. Now when I draw a rectangle, I get exactly what I want. The origin and the end point of the rectangle snap nicely to the grid. But when I edit the points of the rectangle (with the rectangle tool or the node edit tool), they do not snap to the grid any more. They can be placed anywhere between the grid points.
Is this a bug or just something I do not understand about these options?
OK, I experimented a little and found out that I get the desired snapping behaviour when I convert the rectangle to a path.
But my question remains: Why is there a difference between drawing a rectangle (snapping ok) and editing the points of the rectangle (no snapping until converted to path)? This makes me think that there are different functions for the same thing.
T.E.

This is just another missing feature in snapping. Our snapping code is long overdue for a rewrite. Could you please submit this to our RFE tracker so we don't forget about it.
I noticed snapping doesn't work right out, but I can get it to work by resizing the grid and using points rather than pixels. Though of course, I'd rather use the pixels.
