Description Jo 2015-08-26 12:15:17 UTC 
the grid, guides and paths could be magnetic if visible only.

sometimes i need magnetism and its usually for a short time, then i forget it, hide it, just to stumble later over that magnetism, because it changes unintentionally my brush strokes. 
A faster way to deal with magnetism could be to deactivate it, when (paths, guides, grid) not visible.
Comment 1 Michael Natterer 2015-08-26 15:01:30 UTC 
Others ask for other combinations, e.g. they prefer just having
visual clues (without magnetism), or having magnetism without the visual
noise. The settings are separate on purpose. Closing as WONTFIX.
Comment 2 Jo 2015-08-26 20:25:43 UTC 
thanks for the explanation

Hm…when magnetism is such a discussed issue, why not creating some options in Gimps general preferences, maybe under standard grid ? these settings have some value, putting them under view is too understated.
if you ask me, id like to turn magnetism off/on, but for all elements (path, guides, grid) at once

That sounds worth thinking about.
