1.8.1 Grid lines 2px on non-retina display

[etx 0]

On Designer 1.8.1 the grid shows up as 2px thick on a regular external display, but thin and proper on a Retina display. 

I really hoping this is a bug and was not intentional. It makes the grid very difficult to use.

Hi etx,

Thanks for letting us know - I'll get this passed on to development!

Just got the 1.8.2 update and noticed it's still rocking the fat grid. But glad to hear the team will look into it. Thanks!

If you go to preferences>performance and change it from OpenGL to Metal it fixes the issue. Hope this helps.
