The grid seems nonsense in layout designer [message #57201]

In layout designer, the grid occupies only a small area. We can not depend on the grid to align the Ctrls. This may be a bug.

I have to say I am really confused about the screenshot and the message... Smile

- grid is not activated there (the button is switched off)
- what is that "visual" grid ? Is that something you have added to illustrate the problem?

Other than that, from quick testing, it seems to work just fine... If it does not work for you, we will need to establish the how to reproduce the problem.

Sorry, I did not clarify it clearly.
The problem is that the grid area is smaller than the whole form window and I think it should be as large as the form window. I can add ctrls out of the grid area and this is confused, right? I have tried lazarus and the whole form is just the grid.
And more, after enabling the use grid，the process of anchoring ctrls to the grid is not very perceptible.

Uhm, but this not what I see when testing... But maybe the problem is "what is the grid":

- in case of layout designer it simply means that position are rounded to some multiply of logical coordinates.

This really works, actually it works even if the widget is completely OUTSIDE of layout (aka form window). I would notice if it did not (editing several layouts every day...).

What comes to mind: The grid is temoprarily deactivated if you hold the Alt key. Can that be the source of confusion?

Hello Mirek,

I fixed the issue. The problem here is that the gird (available through Edit -> Settings -> Paint Grid) was not rendered on the whole layout area. More details in commit.

renyiyuan you can download tomorrows (14.06.2021) nightly and test. Of course, thank you for the bug report and welcome in our community! Smile
