Xara's Nudging and Grid do not seem to work hand in hand?

The image below should explain it all.

Are your grid and nudge settings matching in the program Options?

[Nostaw]

Do you mean: Page Options > Units > Default Units > Page: Millimeters ?
The grid size, nudge size and default Units have all been set to millimeter.
It's something I wanted to report about ages ago.

what about if you do your nudging with the outline* set to none or view mode set to1

*or border or stroke i forgot what its called

[Nostaw]

Big Frank, stroke or not, or the proportional line width toggle on/off (which snaps to the grid with outline thickness) - makes no difference.

i did a clean install of xdpx9x64 and followed your instruction to the letter
except i did not give my trianglea stroke
i did not get your results
i got exactly aligned on the grid
i will try to record this on camtasia
but being on a melted cheese plane may make this hit n miss lol

You need to zoom in 25600% to see the change. Please see the Xara file attached. Open it up, select the square and move it 8xright, 8xdown using the cursor keys. Zoom in to the top left corner and you see the square is off grid.

That isn't your grid point, what you are seeing is the object selection bound handle (blob). A grid point will not show that large at such high magnification.
You can colour the rectangle then add an 0.25pt line and see the grid point is on the line centre point. Seems to be dead on grid in my Designer Pro X9

i've followed your instructions to the letter but i swear im not getting that result
to make any possible diffrence more visible i changed the square colour to pale green
i started at x 64 y 1168 so the top left was on a blue +
ive nudges 8 right and 8 down and that put my top left corner squarely on x 80 y 1102 as in your screenshot abve



its even more evident theres no error when i deselect the square
