Ignition 7.5.2  
Java 1.6.26  
Ubuntu 12.04

When I draw an object on screen with snap to grid on, it draws perfectly with its width and height in multiples of 5 or 10 as required. However, when I resize the component its width or height is sometimes 1 higher than the next grid increment e.g. if I reduce the size of an item with width 150 and a grid size of 5, it often jumps to 146 instead of 145.

I have reproduced this here and have put a ticket in to have this feature fixed.
