I’ve looked at this again, and reckon that the bug is gone, and the behaviour is now ultra logical.. so, I reckon my topics drifted a little

Thanks for the reply drastic.soldier!

Holding control is really useful if you want to temporarily disable snapping.. a great one to remember, thanks!
(Note to self: This works when dragging any object which is snapping to the document bounds or other objects.)

But wait! I’ve just tested holding shift whilst dragging the guides, and found that it constrains movement to whatever unit the ruler is set to! *deep sigh of relief* It had to be so simple!

Thanks to all involved!

I have another solution if the one above has not worked for you.
1. Click and hold on the guide line
2. Now don’t let go and hold control
3. Try moving the guide line, it should go where you want it to

Hope it helps!

Hi SirReddSir! Thanks for the comment.. well.. I’ve just had a look at this with fresh eyes, and found a solution!

Photoshop won’t snap unless the grid is visible! Solution:
- set the grid interval to every 1px
- show the grid – crucial step
- snap to grid

Thanks for motivating me to revisit that! Cheers, Tim

I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one with this problem. It’s very annoying. Please let me know if you find a solution.
