Grid unusable at some zoomlevels

Postby LeoP » Sat Jul 28, 2012 12:01 pm

With the grid set on 'Auto', it takes thirteen (!) steps of zoom (either in or out) for the dots to change, while at the eighth step the grid already lost its usefullness.
Can this not be parameterized?
Like specifying the number of zoom steps it takes for the grid to change?
Or a minimum and maximum number of pixels between grid dots?
Or introducing a 1-2-5 sequence to 'bridge the gap'?

I noticed the same kind of behaviour in QCAD 2.2, but iirc that was not as bad as this...

Hmmm...
I've been playing around with these settings but cannot see any difference between 5, 1, or even 50 pixels; not even after restarting the program.
And it still takes 13 clicks to change them.
I may be doing something wrong here (Windoze XP-SP3) but cannot figure out what.
