I just checked the measure tool. It does appear that distances measured on the grid are slightly off when I don't have the mouse cursor exactly over the grid interesection, even with the grid snap option enabled. I'll file a bug report and see if Larry has a patch for us. Did we decide to leave in the patch that came from Matthias?
