Meanwhile I got a more precise bugreport about this.
It turned out the legacy code for changing snap when invoked from the
menu, also disables the line endpoint matching, which Anthony was
expecting. Fortunately when grid realign is invoked from keyboard with {g
r}, it doesn't change any GUI state and that way normal snapping can be
used.
I am not going to change how the menu invocation "ask for coordinates"
snap behaves because who-knows-how-many-users may depend on it.
However, it's good to remember this: if you depend on precisely selecting
something on the drawing, and then invoking a feature from the menu ruins
that by asking for a new coord, just look at the hotkey of the feature in
the menu and use the hotkey instead. When you use the hotkey without your
mouse cursor leaving the drawing area, pcb-rnd will never run a second
"ask for coordinate" loop, that happens only when you leave the drawing
area (e.g. opening a menu).
