Eeschema v8 grid problems
Description
After initially adding a component, when you press INSERT to add more of the last thing.. those are grabbed in a different way which allows off-grid placement:
additionally, when you move you can get eeschema to grab the thing by where you want to (usually, like, the middle of the body), that's good.
but when you duplicate - it is grabbed awkwardly by a pin, even if your cursor was in the middle of the body, it just always grabs by a pin, this is highly annoying when you're in a hurry
Steps to reproduce
- Add a resistor, put it somewhere, press
INSERT(twice, because it appears the first time it doesn't work because it just cancels the "Add" tool as if you pressedESCAPE) - observe how the resistor is going to land off-grid
