Occasionally, I get a trace that passes between grid points
without ever covering one. If I want to delete or modify
this trace, I need to change the grid, make the change, and
then change the grid back. This is a bit awkward,
particularly if you don't have a mouse wheel.

The following patch avoids this detour by simply turning off
snap-to-grid when deleting. As far as I can tell, there
should be no situation where one would actually need the
grid in this mode anyway.
