[Bug]: Mismatch in documented default behaviour of pcolormesh 'snap' #30709
The documentation for pcolormesh states the default behaviour for snap is False. Since a supposed temporary addition of pcolormesh.snap to the default rcParams under b38c7de for 3.4.3, this is no longer the case and instead you get True behaviour by default. The documentation and default behaviour should probably match.
This switch in default behaviour is most obvious when plotting a pcolormesh plot with an alpha value less than 1.
Either the temporary rcParam should be removed from the default template or the documentation should be changed to match the present default behaviour.
Only the rcParam is temporary. It will eventually be removed, because that behavior should not be configurable via rcParams. But the snap=True behavior will remain.

This is an omission in updating documentation for pcolormesh.
The behavior was intentionally changed see
