Is there a fix for the grid bug in CS2?

Hi there. I'm just wondering if there are any fixes or workarounds for the grid glitch in PS CS2. I have to do most of my pixel art in different software because of this bug. I thought maybe updating to 9.0.2 would help, but it didn't. Is Adobe even aware of this? I would assume so, but I would also assume if they were aware of such a simple but obvious bug, it would have been fixed by now.

If you're not sure what I'm talking about, here's a screenshot: <http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/8199/gridbugsu4.gif>

It's very frusterating. So if anyone has any tips/suggestions, please do come forward.

Thanks,
Adam

Adam,

I don't see that offset on my machines...

Just though I'd try in on my desktop and I'm showing exactly the same problems, one thing I do notice is that the grid doesn't align to the checkmarks on the ruler and its the ruler the pxels are aligning to!

Also tried it on my laptop - same problem, so I guess it's not a graphics card issue.

Strange.

A workaround that seems to work (so far!) is to set the the gridlines to be every 2 pixels with 2 subdivisions.

You can even then reset the grids to 1 pixel/1 subdivision and it still aligns correctly and even stranger still does after closing and restarting Photoshop.

Just discovered the same thing as Sargent Mike:

There is a bug. It is as if it doesn't like being set from inches (or whatever) straight down to 1 pixel. (see left screen shot)

In my case I then set the grid to 3 pixels and they aligned exactly with the ruler, then stayed in alignment when setting it back to 1 pixel (right screen shot)

So who's going to file the bug report?

Over to you Private Adam.

Thanks everyone! Problem seems to be fixed after using Mike's method. I also submitted the bug report just now.

That's one less headache to deal with.

You have to shout louder.

However... you got the credit.

Soooooo... consider yourself promoted !! ;-) )

It doesn't always happen, so there's some precursor action needed to cause it (preferences setting, steps you do before this, etc.). That's probably why we missed it.
