Description
Coming from Pinta 1.6, gradients were always created in a way where the two anchor points were fixed to the center of the pixel, meaning the pixel under the first anchor always had the exact primary color and the pixel under the second the secondary color. This made it so that on small scales, gradients could be made in a precise and reproducible manner, for example for making color palettes for pixel art.
I tried using newer versions of Pinta several times and always found that this behavior had changed, so that the anchor points would freely move within subpixel space, meaning that making exact gradients like that became entirely impossible. I would like to ask for a setting that could restore the original behavior. Alternatively, the functionality could just be restored directly with no setting because in all honesty, on larger scales, subpixel precision doesn't matter and on small scales, I don't seen any application for that type of precision (or rather, imprecision) at all.
Additional context
These two gradients were made with the anchor points on the same X-coordinate, but with different subpixel position. Obviously the way I placed them was more exaggerated (top is further out, bottom is further in) but I hope this helps illustrate the issue. Ideally, both of these gradients should look the same.
