Baseline Grid Snapping Bug


Recommended Posts

I was using baseline grid with snapping tools on to align lines where I wanted them. I noticed it also snapped text numbers that I already had written before enabling snapping. I turned snapping off since I was done aligning everything else where I wanted it but it kept the numbers in the same unpreferred snapping position. I noticed if I turned baseline grid off then it did go to the proper location where I wanted it. Is that by design or is that a bug? My assumption was that if I turned snapping off it would have gone back, regardless if I had baseline grid on. If its how it's supposed to be, then would I just want to use the baseline grid on the things I intentionally want moved, but then turn it off when I want to get certain text to position how I had them dragged?

I think you're confusing the functions of Use Baseline Grid and Snapping, or using the terms in some confusing way, @KJV1611.

Snapping will not move something automatically when you turn it on, nor will anything move when you turn it off. It acts only when you're actively moving an object with, e.g., the Move Tool. 

The Baseline Grid is used to force text within a Text Frame onto a common alignment with text in other Text Frames on other pages. I can't check right now what happens if you've aligned something using the Baseline Grid options and then turn them off.
