this is actually a feature request, as the intended
behaviour at the moment is that only the selection tool
(arrow) does snapping, not the text tool.

Changing bug status to 'Confirmed Wishlist' because this is a valid feature request (and the launchpad bug tracker doesn't track RFEs separately).

Why do people keep unlinking this report from lp:inkscape? The fix is only in trunk, and the report correctly linked to the development branch of Inkscape.
