Comment 2 for bug 45713

Oh, I forget to say which versions I am using:

It is Dapper Drake with KDE 3.5.2

And the align to grid function does not have to to anything with "line up horizontally" or "line up vertically", because these functions align the icons automatically to a grid, independent of the state of "align to grid".
I expect a behavior similar to the windows-desktop, where this option aligns the icons to a grid, once. In kde this function seems to be permanent, because you can enable and disable it. So, if this option is checked, the user should only be able to move the icons to places in that grid, respecitvely, the icons automatically jump to the nearest grid-place.

But this does not happen! I remember earlier kde versions where it behaved like expected, so this really seems to be a bug to me.

But I will look this thing up in my breezy badger installation for comparison.

(sorry for my lousy english)
