[Qgis-developer] Composer grid issue

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi John

Thank you for reporting. I'm currently implementing the possibility to rotate 
the composer map and this changes a lot in the composer grid code. Therefore, 
I'm going to address this issue after the rotation code is in trunk.

Regards,
Marco
