Problem with snap / smart guides
Illustrator 22.1, Max OSX High Sierra 10.13.3
The smart guides are always a little off, unless I zoom a lot.
For example, when I want to cut a path at an intersection, with CC2018, the cut is always a little off.
It happens with many other actions: moving anchor points, clicking on a path end point to continue drawing, adjusting tangents... the smart guides show the correct point, but the action snaps to something else.
See the example below, where I'm trying to continue that red line.

Snapping is fundamentally broken in Illustrator. I see this behaviour with every second 'snap' action. What's the purpose of a 'snap tolerance'? The object is either snapping or it isn't.

OK.. my bad I think. I hadn't seen the "Snapping Tolerance" option on the Smart Guides Preference panel.
