Horizontal line - can't turn off snapping

Hi support

When editing a horizontal line tool it always snaps to candle high/lows even when Auto Snap On Adjust is turned off. All other drawing tools function as you'd expect when the same setting is off. Is this a bug or is there a way to turn off snapping for the horizontal line?

Many thanks

We are working on the permanent fix for this, but found a few other items that need to be corrected as well. The issue is that it was treating the Horizontal Line as if it was being initially drawn, therefore it was looking at the option Tools >> Auto Snap on Creation even though it was being adjusted.

Therefore, in the short term, if you turn off both Auto Snap options in the Tools menu, it will not auto-snap the horizontal line.

My problem seems to be the opposite: I am unable to get the snap to tick price, at creation or adjustment. Setting and results are in the attached graphic image.Top line was adjusted, and should snap to 56.45, as I understand the description at page=doc/Tools.html#Snapping.

Thank you.

That symbol trades at a tick size of 0.01. Therefore, if you are using the standard tick size, then it is normal for you to have values such as what is shown in your image.

If you do have a different tick size, then let us know what value you have set.
