Description Robert Großkopf 2016-11-20 17:27:46 UTC
Create a new Draw-file.
Select "Insert Line".
Press CTRL. You could set the startpoint snapping to grid, if grid is disabled. You could also set the startpoint not snapping to grid, if grid is enabled.
Now set the endpoint. CTRL won't have any function here: Snaps to grid, if grid is enabled, doesn't snap if grid is disabled.

Do the same with "Polygon filled". You couldn't start pressing CTRL, but if you press CTRL later all other points could be set snapping to grid, if grid is disabled and  not snapping to grid, if grid is enabled.

The combination is described in German help.
Have installed a daily build with US/En-help. There is nothing described like this. Only described to drag the object together with ALT, and this works well.

Tested all here with LO 3.6.7.2 and also LO 5.2.3.3 and Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha1+

Seems this behavior has been inherited from OOo. ApacheOO has the same behavior.

It works in OOo3.2.1 and is broken in AOO3.4.1.

In OOo3.2.1 using ctrl-key does not apply to the start of a drag-draw, but it works there for the end point of drag-draw and for later manipulating of the object size with the mouse.

Nothing has been changed. Bug is always the same.

Seems it has been changed.
Ctrl doesn't work any more. 

Alt will work instead. And it seems to be it is working for moving any point of a figure ignoring the grid when grid is enabled. It doesn't disable the grid before starting to draw a figure.

Tested with LO 7.2.3.2 on OpenSUSE 15.2 with vcl:kf5

I will set this one to worksforme.
