I made a post regarding this here http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=46136 but incase it's overlooked or forgotten and because it's the proper board I'm posting it here in Dear Xara...

Basically I get unpredictable behaviour when holding ctrl and scaling a rectangle using the rectangle tool. When it comes close to the the edge of another rectangle it sometimes snaps to it but it overrides the ctrl key and I lose constraint, other times it doesn't snap at all, it just slides over the edge. I've turned off snap to grid and snap to guides and it's still dodge. Increasing magnetic snap radii to 20px for line makes the problem more obvious. It snaps fine without ctrl but problems when holding it.

Converting the rectangle to an editable shape and then using the shape editor tool and it snaps fine when holding ctrl, but converting the rectangle to a shape introduces extra unessecary steps and loses some of the handy rectangle tool controls like easily editing rounded corners and is also less intuitive.

If magnetic object snapping when scaling using the object selector could be made possible too that would be super peachy and there would be no need to hold ctrl so this could be a good alternative to using the rectangle tool.

Improvements made to either or preferebly both tools would be great.
