Actually if you set a larger resolution in Tools->Options->Libreoffice Draw->Grid->Resolution. It may easy to see the difference between snap or not. Does it make sense or just it shows absolutely the same no matter the resolution is? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

For example, if to move a rectangly horizontally, it jumps by a distance as high as nearly its own dimensions. If to disable other snapping except snapping to gird, then there is no snapping. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Snap works well in writer for me. For the same objects.

With 10 in that field and grid step 0.2 cm there is no snapping at all. It is unclear what that field is for because in Russian locale the description does not fit in the form: http://storage7.static.itmages.ru/i/12/1213/h_1355428610_4113340_6dd45b399b.... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So in all conclusion, the only problem is the default value of "subdivision" fields looks not that reasonable.

The current default just means free positioning. I suggest to set the subdivision to 1 but reduce the main interval from 0.5 cm to 0.40 cm. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I personally prefer to leave it as is. The current state looks usable and I did not hear other complains about it.

Seconded. When zooming in, it gives the right amount of precision to e.g. align objects properly, without being too coarse. @Ilya: this is configurable, so you can adjust it to your personal preference? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
