resolved: AI don't obey "media items snap at" prefs (AI ends always snap to grid)

i prefer for my items start bounds to snap to grid, but not their end.

the preference "media items snap at" allow us to set "only snap at start/start offset," and this works as expected for items.

the end of automation items, however, snap to grid under this setting.

not sure whether this would best be categorized as a bug, nitpick, or FR, but the result is that selecting/moving AI can result in unexpected/unfamiliar snapping that might go unnoticed at higher zoom levels. AI should obey all of the item prefs set in Snap Preferences.
