I'm making a poster in "A0" format.
When I zoom out to 35% and below, the grid disappears.

It's a shame because of the size of the document I often need to work at low zoom to have an overview.

Is there a way to force scribus to show grid under 35% zoom?

Below are two screenshot, the first is at 36% (grid shown) and second 35% (grid not shown):





EDIT:

I mistakenly used the word "guides" to speak about "grid". I now corrected my question.

After some thoughts, I would say that -- given the characteristics of the grid in Scribus -- the behavior is correct.

While in Inkscape the grid "grows" and "shrinks" when you zoom in and out, in Scribus it has a fixed spacing and:


Scribus basically cannot scale the grid lines when you zoom in without painting the whole area with the grid's color
You cannot snap to the grid points when they are so close and you should disable the grid when zooming in at very low levels.


I'm not sure either that a more flexible grid spacing should be added to Scribus (I would rather vote for completely removing the grid from Scribus...).

The grid is a tool that is useful for vector drawing, but in page layout you will probably profit by defining and using guides.
