Snap to Shape stops snapping

[c mateland]

Has anyone seen Snap to Shape suddenly stop snapping to other shapes?
It's still enabled, but it's like it doesn't recognize other shapes
when I move an object. It works when I crop or maybe draw another shape
(sometimes), but not always to the shapes that already exist. It's like
it got tired.

Then, as suddenly as it stopped working, it starts working again -
with the very shapes it refused to work with before. Not just my
machine or my version either, I've seen it on many computers going back
years. I just never took the time to research why it does this and if
there is a solution. I'll look for a trend, but don't want to reinvent
the wheel if someone already has a heads up on this.

I'm using XP mostly.

Thanks,
Chuck

Do you also have "Snap to Grid" selected? You may want to disable that option
and keep only the Snap Objects to Other Objects (Snap to Shape).

No, that's turned off. But in these situations, if I turn it on, that
works, yet the snap to shape still doesn't.
