Snap to grid doesn't work at artboard edges
Snap to grid is ignored at artboard edges.
See animation attached.
It makes me cry.
Hi Everyone, thanks for your comments. Re-opening it based on the feedback.

Snapping to the grid is not working when the selected element is touching the artboard edge! That is so annoying and produces an imperfect placement of my elements!

I hate this issue so much. It is not a minor issue for me.

The snapping in Illustrator is just generally bad. I always have to go through every single artboard and fix up the edges, even if Illustrator is telling me that my objects are snapping to the edge.

adobe team probably have no idea how to fix it, or they just dont care. as its a minor feature.

Oh well, another problem that's existing well over 2 years. Can't wait for the next affinity update.

Still an Issue in 24.3
If I need perfect alignment to edge I stop the shape 1 Grid BEFORE the edge and move it manually with the arrow keys...
It is driving me crazy on a daily basis.The same issue happens btw when moving a shape ALONG the Artboard edge, it does not snap. So yeah, I move it one grid away from the edge, move sideways with mouse where I want it to go, and hit the arrow key to align it back to the damn egde.

Duuuuuude, snapping doesn’t work because the artboard edge is messing up the snap.
Frustrating!!

This is still an issue at 24.0.2 version. Please, this need to be resolved.

The issue appears to be that the snapping is still broken when the cursor is near the artboard boundary, but is working when the cursor moves far enough away. That leaves a very tiny area where the behaviour works as desired.
I've recorded a video demonstrating how this issue is simultaneously fixed and still broken: https://twitter.com/kitgrose/status/1224137775949025280

This bug is still active. I’m using version 24, and objects still snap to the artboard!!

Yep. The problem is not resolved. I'm running 23.1.1 This has been an issue for YEARS now. FWIW, my workaround is to build my artboards larger than I need to and creating a locked layer where I draw a box for my actual "artboard."
