snapping issue

Community Beginner ,

Photoshop bug.

Anyone else have this issue?

The grid is turned on. Snapping is on. I'm pulling guides to snap to the grid. I pull the vertical guides, starting from the left and moving right. They all snap to the grid.

Then I begin pulling the horizontal guides down. I begin from the top. The guides all snap to the grid until!!! I pass the half way point on the document. After that the guides don't snap to the grid. It's annoying and inexplicable. But, since its easy enough to zoom in on the document and pull the guides into place  I've never bought it up before. But its been happening for years.

 

I suppose I always thought it was a graphic card/photoshop mismatch thing or some other minor thing that would be fixed along the way. But it never has been fixed. And its driving me nuts. Anyone know why  this happens?

Please don't suggest that I check whether snap is turned on, or suggest that I refresh my Pref's because I have done all of that and I've updated photoshop a gazillion times since this started happening.

It happens both on both photoshop and photoshop beta (and every photoshop Ive used for the last few years)

In case its important here's my system info

The first thing to do is reset preferences. Corrupt preferences can cause all kinds of unpredictable and odd behavior. Make sure to save out your actions, brushes etc first (they will be wiped in the reset).

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me.
As I said in my original post, I have reset the prefs many times in the
hope that that would fix things.
It hasn't.
I've installed photoshop and the beta and cleaned the prefs of both. Guides
still don't snap below the 50% mark.
Any other ideas?

cheers

John
