Add a minimal step for increasing containers width

Currently, the designer automatically increase the width of parent containers when a control is moved or resize and goes outside the current parent size.

But this can be problematic with bad paging in some cases. 
As the automatic grow may be needed, I propose to increase the parent size with a settable minimal step:

When having set everything to have a width of 160 mm, just moving some controls can currently increase slightly the size (like 160.23 mm). But if the report has a minimal grow step of say 5 mm, in this case it will be resized to 165 mm, a visible size difference (therefore, layout can be corrected when the grow was unwanted).

The report designer provides a dedicated property which ensures the items in a certain container to be properly aligned in terms of size and location - Snap to Grid  property is available for Visual Studio Report Designer (http://docs.telerik.com/reporting/ui-report-designer) as well as for Standalone Report Designer (http://docs.telerik.com/reporting/standalone-report-designer). So we consider this item as a feature request to improve the snap to grid functionality, so that the container to be extended according to the vertical gridlines - in this way the size difference will be visible. What do you think of such an approach?
