Hey.
I have a really big problem, or scribus has, with snapping to horizontal guides.
if i try to snap something to
10 mm it snaps to 9.647 mm
3 mm 2.647 mm
so it's of by 0.353 mm, all the time.
snapping to vertical guides workes fine.
I'm using Scribus 1.4.0
hi lars
this 0.353 mm is 1/72 inch or 1 pica point – it looks as a setting to adjust the layout to a pica grid...
did you check the option: 'page' → 'snap to grid'?
utnik
no, snap to grid is off (, also, as I wrote, this only affects the horizontal guide.)
I have reported this as a bug
http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=10677 (http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=10677)
hi lars
could you upload a sample file? (here or on the bug tracker...)
the good thing with scribus is, that all this settings are stored in the sla file in a reeadable way.
utnik
yes Utnik, here it is.(attached) (edit: it can also be found in the bug report at: http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=10677)
Can you reproduce it by
setting a horizontal guide
draw a line
snap the line to the guide?
thanks for helping out.

hi lars
thanks for the file – couldn't find out what causes the effect, but something strange (at least to me) in the 'properties' window.
i added a note and a screenshot to your bug report...
utnik
as I said on the bug report, thank you Utnik!
this clearly must be the problem.
I dont see how a desktop publishing program can have this bug, and that no one notices it, it's a function that you use a lot.
this is clearly out of line ;)
