Description: USER STORY: I want to align a dragged object quickly relative to other objects SUGGESTION: Applications like InDesign or draw.io display guides and snap depended on other objects around the dragged object. So if there is an object left to the one I drag and both are roughly top aligned a guide will appear between these two and the drag will snap slightly if both are aligned. ALTERNATIVES: - The align objects functions or a numerical specification archive the same results, but are more cumbersome to use, since they demand multiple switches of interaction mode instead of blending into the dragging process. - the display guides around dragged object option helps visually, however, it does not provide snapping and is visually intrusive. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to align two object relative to each other (e.g. at the same distance from the left) Actual Results: User has no help in doing so Expected Results: Context sensitive guides support the user Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
This request has been asked for in bug 100141 regarding visual alignment and spacing guides (would suggest to hi-jack this ticket in case the snapping aspect is not covered well enough). Remark: There are plenty of alignment tools that can be used, but you are likely aware of them. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 100141 ***
Yes, that seems to be the same issue, the lined video in bug 100141 shows what I mean.
