It seems to me that things are working fine. The grids are definitely
saved correctly. Very small grids appear to be loaded wrong, but they
seem to be okay when you zoom in enough that one pixel is smaller than
the grid size. (i.e., the cursor just isn't granular enough for such
a small grid at default zoom).

Is this what you're seeing?


If not, can you tell us:

  - Are you running a 32 or 64-bit system?
  - What git revision/release you are running?
  - What is saved as the pcb::grid::size attribute in the .pcb?

This will at least tell us if the problem is in the saving or loading
side of things.
