h_d Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Setting the main grid spacing to anything less than 4px results in a blank page instead of a visible grid, whatever the magnification level. Subdivisions don't appear at all when the main grid is set to anything less than 16px. Screen Recording 2020-02-12 at 20.04.12.mov This appears to be a regression from 1.7.3, where smaller grid sizes (I was trying 2px) are possible, with subdivisions visible right down to 1px or possibly even less. It looks as though snapping is still working even at the smaller, invisible, grid sizes.

Staff Sean P Posted February 13, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 13, 2020 Hi h_d, Thanks for letting us know! I've reproduced that here and will get it reported to development. It is also worth noting that it only seems to happen if your 'Display' is set to OpenGL inside Preferences > Performance. If you can switch that to Metal then they should work as intended.

h_d Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Thanks @Sean P I've switched to Metal and I can now see the smaller sizes of grid. I think I was using OpenGL because my graphics card didn't seem to kick in with Metal. That may have been an OS thing - seems to be working fine now, so I'll stick with Metal.
