Draw "grid settings" not saved with each drawing

[salex3191]

So I discovered today that the reason I often have trouble with drawings is that apparently the grid settings aren’t stored with the drawing. So it’s very important to remember your grid settings for every drawing you make and carefully restore them each time you open a drawing to change it. I’m not very good at that unfortunately. If this is wrong someone could perhaps set me straight but in my searches I haven’t seen any very useful solutions to this problem. I’ve been looking but can’t seem to find if there is a place to suggest modifications to provide a way to save these settings with each drawing. So:

1. Please someone tell me I’m wrong or,
2. Where would I go to suggest this update?

It works for me in my LO 6.1.6 version.

Here are two files with different grid settings:
grid1.odg (8.7 KB)
grid2.odg (8.7 KB)

Working with Version 7.3.2.2. Thanks for your reply. I downloaded your files and fiddled around with them a bit. Basically I opened each of your files and observed that the grid settings changed as they should have. Earlier today I had done the same as you and created two files with different grid settings. In my case I was loading each file successively and observing that the grid settings didn’t change. They remained the same as the last time I had set them. Then when I searched I saw that others had observed this odd behavior. So I concluded the settings weren’t being saved with the file.

So as I kept opening your files and mine and I would find problems. I was getting confused about the settings for each file so I took snips and saved them with the files so I’d know what the settings were. Then when I opened a file I could tell when something changed. Below is one example of what happened. The settings were one way when I saved the file but were different when I reopened it.

Here’s another example:

So I guess there’s a bug but it’s subtle. Not sure where to go from here. Could be the version I’m working with but over the years I’ve had trouble going back and editing drawings and this is the first time I spent time trying to figure out what was going on.

I spent some more time trying opening differently configured files trying to figure out how to account for the discrepancies I experienced as illustrated in my examples above. Had no luck. How do I report an apparent bug?

I haven’t found the changes you show in your screenshots, but I haven’t been looking either. You should see if you can reliably reproduce the effect and document it so somebody else repeat it.
