Minimum Pixel Size in Scratch 2.0's Paint Editor
The Paint Editor in Scratch 2.0's bitmap mode has some quirks to it that I find frustrating.
First, the minimum pixel size for the main drawing tool is larger than the minimum pixel size that the editor can display. For example, after selecting the smallest brush size and then quickly dragging it across the screen, you can create pixels that are 1/4 as large as the smallest brush.
Also, when selecting an group of pixels with the selection tool and using the arrow keys to move them, the pixels can be shifted by much less than one pixel-width. This can cause “offset” pixels in locations that don't correspond to the normal places reachable by the paintbrush and cannot be painted over without using multiple pixels.
I briefly looked for other mentions of this problem but couldn't find any. If this has already been addressed, please point me to it.

Oh. Is it an intended feature? Scratch bitmap annoyingly uses subpixels with certain tools.
