Comment 7 for bug 1288272

I'm pretty sure this is a bug in the snap implementation of gradient points or something like that. I have turned off snapping, I don't have "always snap" selected and still gradient points snap to each other for no apparent reason, and stay snapped permanently. No amount of dragging away from the point snapped to will change this.

I attached a gif demonstrating the problem. Again, all snapping is turned off. In the demonstration all I did was click on a gradient point, drag it near another gradient's point and it snapped automatically. I never released the mouse button, but it was impossible to release the snapped points after this. Only option is to undo the operation. Using shift+click will indeed circumvent the snapping and everything works fine in that case.
