Box tool not snapping to text corners, but ruler does (KLayout 0.30.4)

Hi everyone,

I’m working in KLayout (version 0.30.4) and running into a snapping issue that I can’t seem to resolve.

I need to draw rectangular boxes around some text. When I use the Ruler tool, it correctly detects edges/corner points of the text — the cursor changes and snaps precisely to those points.

However, when I switch to the Box tool, the cursor does not snap to those same points, and I cannot accurately align the box to the text corners.

On another machine (work PC), KLayout does snap correctly when drawing boxes, so I believe this functionality exists but may depend on some configuration, mode, or template setting.

Can anyone please tell me how to fix this. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
