Ok,
So, seriously, I am not trying to flood the list with needless comments and bunk. Here is another thing. When I resize a rectangle, and probably anything else, it moves the other control points such that they are no longer on a snap point. Now, I know that was confusing. Lets look at it this way. When you make something and position it the points have a now fixed location. Now, grab the bottom bounding box to resize the height. While doing that you will notice that the other control points also move. Intuition would tell me that they should not. I looked in the bug database but I did not see anything related and I also ran through the source code but got very confused and could not effectively find my way around. Is this the way resizing is supposed to work?

P.S. I know that I could use the point movement tool. I realize that the bounding box scales the entire object. So probably everything is working the way it was programmed to. Would it be better if the bounding box did not rescaled the object but resized the object. Possibly you could switch between the modes with a modifier key like I had suggested earlier.
P.P.S. Again, sorry for the traffic. I just want to get proficient with this application since it looks very strong.

Which exactly "other points" move as well? Middle left and right side ones?

Well,
Take for example a rectangle. There are four control points, one in each corner. Now, upon construction of the rectangle all four points are snaped to appropriate intersections. Now with the cursor tool you select the bottom height resizing handle and then shift up or down. Now if you watch the above line you will see that the grid line is no longer in the center of the top segment of the rectangle. So, this means that the control points for the rectange, which are in the middle of the lines, are being shifted up and or down depending on the resizing action.
Justace
P.S. I do not think that is has to do with the code that scales the line width.

Ah, do you want snap to bounding box, or snap to control points? Because you can choose in the document preferences.
Snap to bounding box is the default.

I wonder if we are dealing with the feature that scales stroke when objects are resized.

I forgot it could do that. I turned it off as soon as I realized what was happening. :)

Can you elaborate a bit more on which feature you turned off and how you did so?

the other option to check is the selector>default scale origin one the combination of this and the snap points/bbox in doc prefs will alter how inkscape behaves in this situation.
