Is this how the Grid Settings button should behave?

[STGM]

Currently on the iPad version of Affinity Designer 2 the Grid Settings button seems to behave differently compared to the Snapping Options button. When the former is inset/pressed down, all enabled modes are turned off and vice versa. This doesn't seem normal to me.

Is this behavior intentional by design or a bug?

Hi @STGM,

As far as i'm aware this is by design, the snapping options/magnet icon is pressed in when it's enabled, the preview mode won't show as pressed in unless preview mode has been enabled (Long press on the button > Top option to toggle preview mode) at which point it will show pressed in. The other options such as the grid under the preview menu shouldn't show the preview icon as pressed in since they are the opposite of what should be showed when this is enabled.

Thanks for the explanation! I see what you mean now. I just had it all backwards in my head.
