Description borsotti 2009-02-09 19:00:29 UTC 
Open a new document and draw a line. Then select the line and drag
it with the mouse. The line can be placed almost everywhere in the
page, at any pixel position, except close to the previous position.
Drag the line far away from the original position, and then drag
it slowly approaching the original one, which is still visible.
The line that is being moved snaps to its original one as if it was
still there, while effectively it is being moved.
This means that if you want to move the line some pixels away, you
cannot drag it.
The expected behavior of snapping should exclude the object being moved
from the picture so that it does not attract shapes when dragged.
Besides that, there should be a way to disable snapping to objects
entirely.

I checked with "Ooo 3.0.1 (DE) Multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [OOO300m15
(Build 9379)]" and can confirm the reported effect. Bug or feature? I can't decide.

During my tests for I found out that sometimes "drag and drop a
graphic element" shows unexpected results, pls. see Issue 99066

@borsotti, please
- specify your operating system and platform
- try 3.0.1!
Comment 2 borsotti 2009-02-10 07:17:42 UTC 
Borsotti: my platform is an AMD Athlon 64 X2, and the operating
system is Vista.
In my opinion it is a bug because the action the user is doing
is to move an object, and snappig it to its original position
is the opposite of moving. Anyone can also easily try it and
see how annoying this is.

MRU->OD: is it really desired, that a drawing line snaps in its own area when
one tries it to move?
Comment 4 michael.ruess 2009-02-10 16:45:23 UTC 
ADD:
it is not the case in Calc or Draw.
