Hello,

I've noticed something I don't understand. I've got an editor with the grid
width set to 20. When resizing the element, I'd expect its width and height to
be integer multiples of the grid width - 20, 40, 60 and so on. Insted, I can
see that the sizes are set to 21, 41, 61, ... Is there a reason for this or is
this a bug?

Thanks
Volker

Is "snap to grid" enabled in your editor?

When a shape starts at a grid (position 0 after the grid line) and the
resize snaps to another grid (again position 0 after the grid line), that
makes grid width + 1 for the size of the shape, e.g. grid width of 10:

|xxxxxxxxxx|x....
l l width of this is 11 pixels.

Does that make sense?

More or less. Less because this means that the elements will overlap by one
pixel - is this intended?

Thanks

Yes, that is by intention.
