Hi

I've just downloaded the latest version out of CVS repository and
compiled it with first with lesstif and then with GTK GUI.

As far as I can see lesstif doesn't have this bug. But as I said, this
behavior is not deterministic, so maybe it's just less common than in GTK.

Some more details:

The best way I found of reproducing:

50 mils grid, zoom in so you clearly see individual grid points.

Draw a series of identical rectangles (something like 300x300 mil) with
the line tool. They should be positioned in a grid (so that the edges
are aligned with each other and there is for example 200 mil clearance.

I can draw an entire screen of rectangles in lesstiff without noticing
this bug. In GTK I usually only get to the third rectangle before it starts.

None of the options in the menu seem to have any effect. It also happens
at other zoom and grid settings.

I also tried deleting my ~/.pcb directory.

Some info about my system:

It's a Debian testing system. The "pcb" package from Debian (20060822-1)
also has this bug.

libgtk2 	2.8.20
xserver-xorg	7.0.22
gcc		4.1.1

I'm running GNOME 2.14.3

The ./configure line I used when compiling CVS version:

./configure --with-gui=gtk --disable-doc --prefix=/home/avian/software
