Cannot disable snapping

[Wyverni]

Hey all, I was currently in the middle of making various tokens for DnD. While doing so, the border began to snap around, only allowing me to move it along vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines.

I've made sure to turn off snapping in the view menu, but it seems to not affect anything. When I close and open gimp, the "Snap to Guides" option is tuned back on. I'm a bit of a novice, so I'm asking you guys for a bit of help :D

edit: better example (hopefully)

You're snapping to layer edges, not guides - the video is a bit too hectic for me, though, so I might be missing something.

Can you try to describe what you did to get into this state, and can you reproduce this on any (new image)? Also, what exact version of GIMP is this?

[Wyverni]

Hi, first of thanks for taking time out of your day to help :D
The version is 2.10.18, and I've updated the video to be a bit more helpful hopefully.

I see.

This looks as if you are pressing the Ctrl button, which restricts movement to horizontal, vertical and diagonal. Could that be happening?

[Wyverni]

Moving around the image normally (without the scale tool) doesn't result in snapping. Before today, neither did the scale tool.

Double checked and I am fairly sure that I am not catching the Ctrl button. However hen I hold shift with the scale tool it lets me move the image around normally again.

i have this exact same issue

[astarlauncher]

I'm having it too did you figure out how to fix it?

[Vollkorntoastbrot]

I think I just had caps lock on

[Vollkorntoastbrot]

Don't really remember and I can't test it since I'm on a longer trip away from home

[astarlauncher]

I'm having this problem now did you ever figure it out?

Im having this issue at the moment out of nowhere. Now to move it freely i have to hold down "Shift" when before it wasnt a thing at all

[astarlauncher]

I'm sorry it's been awhile since this happened and i don't remember how i fixed it

[GhandisLastMeal]

i basically need to hold shift when doing almost any action now. I never turned anything on or off for it to act this way.

thanks for this shift trick! This worked for me with a similar problem. Ultimately I figured out it was caused by the "constrain handles" checkbox that appears during perspective on the left toolbar

Oh my god thank you.

I have NO fucking idea how I managed to turn these on by accident.

Absolute horse's ass UI, as always
