Re: gEDA-user: Curious Behaviour

[andrewm <andrewm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Worked something out myself.

It does not actually mess my grid up (I was doing that myself trying to 
fix it)

It actually sets the grid to imperial on the screen but leaves the menu 
saying
I have metric 0.05mm grid set.

If I set the grid to imperial then back to metric again AFTER EACH DRC
it seems to be back to normal.
