[ Fixed ] Draft_ToggleGrid does not work when a command is active

[Roy_043]

Just reporting...

In V0.18 you can toggle the Draft grid while a command is active. Note you have to use the Draft_ToggleGrid button. And this setting is remembered for the current FreeCAD session.

In V0.19 and V0.20 this is no longer possible. When the pointer enters the 3D view after using the Draft_ToggleGrid button, the grid is always switched on.

I believe this is the preference setting which controls the grid activation in the 3D Viewport:

IMHO anyway it's a bug, because if you deselect completely the grid from preferences, it's not an option; it should permit to disable the grid temporarly as it appear normally when you don't have a command active.

The fix works but it does not restore the V0.18 behavior. The "Use grid" preference in V0.18 completely disables the grid. After changing it you even have to restart FreeCAD. And toggling the grid works without changing this preference.
