Broken: 4.0
Worked: ?

Short description of error

Increment Snap with "Absolute Grid Snaping" with "snap with" active is giving unexpected snap compared to other snap methods. In fact, its ignoring the active vertice/edge/face and snap from an unwanted median perspective. It's only working with the object pivot point set as active element, which I believe contradict the purpose of "snap with active" feature.

I am sorry I pressed on return key for my ticket in order to add text but your system instead sent my ticket empty. I edited it.

I added a video showing the issue

We can see in this example that Snaping with active is completely ignoring the active element.

Absolute Grid Snap is an old feature in Blender, designed to enhance incremental snapping.
This option does not use the Snap With settings, but always snaps to the median center of the transformation.

Certainly, the manual or tooltip could be more descriptive in this case, but it is not considered a bug.

Fortunately, there are plans to change this. See !116109
(however, the module does not seem very confident in making changes in this area, so it may take some time).
