So simple, yet so annoying: problem resizing anchored frame with grab bars

[jaggedpeak]

Asked a question yesterday on how to 'snug' an anchored frame to an image. Got the answer and it works great (Esc-m-p)

Now... the reason I needed to do this is that when I try to resize a frame with the grab bars, it 'jerks' as I move vertically or horizontally.

What that means is...

With borders on, the frame border is a dotted line.
If I grab the left side of a frame and move my mouse to the right to make the frame smaller, the border doesn't move smoothly -- it jumps a distance of about 1.5 of those dotted lines. Thus I can't always make the frame fit nicely.

Talked to another Frame user and she said that her's drags smoothly.

So... am I missing a setting somewhere? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Have you got Snap turned on?

##&*!

I was working over a VPN when I first experienced the problem... everything was slower than molasses. Set Snap off, did some other work, Frame crashed.

Setting didn't persist, but everything had taken so long I forgot to check it.

Gah. Yes, Snap off works wonders when it's *actually* off.
