It's depending on zoom level. Zoom out far enough and you will see it

Yes, but with my eyesight, it's not easy for me. And believe me, if you zoom out it seems to fit the grid well, but when you zoom in it doesn't look so good.
I looked at the settings for how to change the color and even putting it in pure black you can hardly see it.

Could anyone see this?
It is really annoying because the use of the grid does not serve any function if you cannot see where you are placing the object. A grid with larger nodes according to the zoom applied would help a lot.
