Beginners' Questions Nodes won't snap to each other

    Hi!
    I'm working on this celt border decoration, but now, the bottom group of "cords" won't snap to the next one.
    (The snapping has been working just fine in this project until now)
    (This has happened to me in many other projects as well)

    (Unrelated: I've had the 502 error pop up 20 times while trying to make an account and this post)

    I'd ensure that only the snap to nodes is active. More active snap points can interfere with expected behavior.

    Thanks for answering!

    It was actually snapping to some red bars (for spacing I guess), how can I disable that? Where's the settings?

    In the snap tools (sometimes a flyout menu in the upper right corner, can be set to be a permanent bar on screen right), snaps can be configured.

    If you see red bars, the "Alignment/Spacing" snap may be active. I'd turn that off.

    Feel free to share an entire screenshot and/or an example Inkscape svg file.

    I'm sorry, but I can't find where that is. How can I find it in this menu?
