I have noticed this over the years and have never reported it as a bug until
now.  I can use the snap-to-grid option, then create a complex drawing with
thousands of objects.  Things progress over days fine, saving, loading, editing,
etc.  But at some point, the grid will change position ever so slightly and
throw off all my objects.  I never touched the grid settings nor origin.

If, for example, I had a perfect square, drawn with 4 lines, so some later load,
the grid will shift a pixel or two and then if I move one of the corners and
place it back to where it was, the lines are no longer straight and the square
is no longer a perfect square and it is impossible to fix.

I have seen this happen multiple times, across multiple versions of Draw.  I
have no explanation.  More frustrating is that it is then impossible to ever
"fix" the drawing back to the grid again.  And if you have many thousands of
objects, like a blueprint or floor plan, it causes a big mess.

In addition to a fix for this bug, it would be nice to have an enhancement tool
that will allow the user to select certain objects or all objects, then perform
a correction that will snap every point in those objects to each nearest grid 
point.
