I just pushed a fix for this.

It appears that we draw the body line from the body dimension out, rather than centered on the body dimension.  That being said, I’m not sure what we used to do, nor what is considered “correct”, so I’ll leave this one for Tom.

Hmm… GTK-specific?  (I haven’t seen this at all on OSX.)

This is the same size we’ve used in Pcbnew for quite some time.

The cross-hair jumps to the grid; the mouse pointer does not.  Is this what you’re seeing, or is there an offset even when the pointer is on the grid?

Fix pushed.

I’ll look into these next.  (BTW: I hooked up the zoom refresh tool to rebuild the graphics state, so you might try it on things like mirror, rotate, etc.)

Cheers,
Jeff.
