All snap settings, controls, and preferences are unchanged from what I had
been using, as far as I can tell. I did not make any recent changes to
them myself, but the behavior has changed. Have not even had to look at them
again until now.

Previous versions refers to the last couple of 0.47 stable releases,all
0.48 stable releases, and development version 0.48.3.1.1, which was the last
version I used before this one.

I have attached the current file (WAGNER...) that I was working on in the
0.48.3 version and moved to this one, and some files not worked on in this
one, including the pattern file I use to start these particular drawings
with (open and SAVE AS a new name before I start the new drawing).

Did you adjust the snap preferences and the snap settings for the current
document on the snap controls bar as needed?

You need to activate snap targets on the snap controls bar to define
'what' snaps to the grid (e.g. cusp or smooth nodes, rotation center, text
anchor, etc.), when moving an existing object with the mouse while having the
grid visible.

That depends on your preference settings for snapping (Inkscape
Preferences > Snapping):
- '[x] Only snap node closest to the pointer' (off by default)
- Weight factor: determines which solution to prefer when multiple snap
solutions are found

Which version is "previous" referring to? Could you attach such sample
files?

Title:
Snap to grid and guide not working right

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
Incomplete

Bug description:
Installed 0.48.4.1 yesterday, downloaded from SourceForge on 12/23.
Noticed that most existing objects will not snap to grid or guides
when moving them. Some existing objects will snap, but only at a
certain node no matter where the cursor is. When drawing lines or
shapes, the start and stop points do snap as expected, but none will
snap when moving afterword. Tried on several drawings (all created in
and all but the current one updated in previous versions) with same
results.

Win. 7 64-bit with all updates.
