Summary	0003752: Preferences/Sketcher: Changing Grid size default is not respected upon creation of new Sketches
Description	Adjusting the File/Preferences/Sketcher "grid size" prior to sketch creation is not respected, as creating a sketch still shows a default of 0.39 inches. Forum link with the details: How to change the default sketcher grid size? NormandC's post 276529 also confirmed this regression on recent builds. Syres' post 276526 indicated roughly where the regression was introduced.
Steps To Reproduce	Steps to reproduce: Open up FreeCAD Switch to Part Design Select File/Preferences/Sketcher Change default for "grid size" to 1 foot. Click Apply Create a new Body Create a sketch Look at the grid size in the left side panel: It is stuck at 0.39 inches, and the only way to change this is to change that value to 1 foot, and I have to keep changing it for each new sketch. Observe that if you save the document, exit FreeCAD and reinvoke, and look at File/Preferences/Sketcher, the default is applied and saved for future documents, but creation of new Sketches does not show the new default grid size.
