Connector handles don't snap to grid at high zoom levels

When setting up a grid to (for example) 4mm x 4mm and 'Snap To Grid' is
enabled,
moving a green connector handle (midpoint) snaps to the nearest grid
point. OK.
However, with large zoom levels it is possible to drop the green handle
nearly anywhere between the grid.
Is it possible to change this behavior so that moving connector
midpoints always snap to the grid regardless of the zoom level?

Thanks,
Dieter

Click to expand...

menu Tools -> Snap & Glue -> Advanced
and change the Grid snap strength setting.

Thanks Paul,
not a direct hit but has point me to the right direction:
The max slider value for grid snap strength is 30 (pixels).
With large zoom levels the distance between two grid lines is more than
these 30 pixels. And then one might get intermediate landing points :)
The valid range for this setting seems to be [0..999].
I've set it to 300 and now it's ok for me and I hope the customer will
be pleased with this suggestion.

Regards
Dieter
