Bug Description

Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939 on Windows 7

Steps to reproduce:
* Open the attached svg drawing with Inkscape 0.48.4
* Select all objects (by drawing a rectangle around them). Make sure that ALL object is selected, also those outside of canvas.
* Grab upper left corner of the biggest rectangle (ID: rect4255) and move it around.
* Expected behaviour is that the corners of the rectangle snaps to grid. But instead the TEXT object (ID: text3155) closest to pointer will snap to grid, not the rectangle.

It is a undesired behaviour, but it's farirly easy to overcome. Workarounds that works for me:
¤ Delete all objects that is not inside canvas (works in this spesific case)
¤ Temporarly move the rectangle to top while moving, and move it bck to bottom when finished moving.
¤ Just using a develop version (t.ex Inkscape 0.48+devel r12042). Cannot reproduce the behaviour in that version.

¤ select ALL (96) objects with keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl+A' (instead of dragging a selection frame around them).

No longer reproduced with current stable branch 0.48.x r9950: fixed in r9947 (backport from trunk)
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/RELEASE_0_48_BRANCH/revision/9947>

With 'Only snap nodes closest to pointer' enabled in the preferences, one can snap the corners of the bottom rectangle to the grid while dragging the selection created as described -> 0.48.5 will have the same behavior as 0.48.3.1 and trunk.
