Aven bugs?

While playing with the new Survex release, I noticed a couple of
oddities in Aven.

Firstly, it doesn't seem to be possible to close the 'print preview'
window by clicking on the window titlebar close box. Obviously the
prominent button marked 'Close' means this is not a serious problem, but
it's nonetheless a little unexpected.

Also, there seem to be a couple of bugs in the grid feature.

If you turn on the grid, then load a new 3d file, it shows the new file
without the grid, but the 'Grid' box in the View menu remains ticked. It
then remains inverted; to get the grid to appear again, you have to
de-select the box!

More seriously, if you zoom in a long way, the grid display goes
completely bonkers. I refer you to
http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~dl267/snapshot1.png for an example.

Obviously these are all cosmetic issues - for my part I've never actually
found a use for the grid - but I thought I might as well mention them
anyway.

(I apologise if all this is already known; I haven't been subscribed to
this list for very long.)
