I'm not sure why this doesn't work in the default canvas.  Someone
should probably take a look at it.  I'm guessing it has something to do
with the overlays used on OSX.

In the legacy canvas, the cross-hairs snap to the grid point nearest the
mouse cursor.  The actual drawing point is the cross-hair position so
that you can draw and position on grid.  The GAL canvases should work
this way but I'm not sure that is the case.
