tikz grid missing leftmost line

Question

For the TikZ grid command, I am wondering why the leftmost line is missing from the second grid that I am drawing below when I specify a step and do not start at (0,0).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \draw[blue] (0,0) grid[step=5mm] (3,3);
  \draw[red] (4,0) grid[step=5mm] (7,3);
  \draw[green!50!black, xshift=8cm]  grid[step=5mm] (3,3);
\end{tikzpicture}
\smallskip
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \draw[blue] (0,0) grid (3,3);
  \draw[red] (4,0) grid (7,3);
  \draw[green!50!black, xshift=8cm]  grid (3,3);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Thanks to @jsbibra for point to the answer - it's a known "feature" of PGF. How do I mark this as a duplicate of that? — tgkolda, Feb 08 '21 at 15:57

edit as below

  \draw[red] (4-0.001,0-0.001) grid[step=5mm] (7,3);

MWE

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \draw[blue] (0,0) grid[step=5mm] (3,3);
  \draw[red] (4-0.001,0-0.001) grid[step=5mm] (7,3);
  \draw[green!50!black, xshift=8cm]  grid[step=5mm] (3,3);
\end{tikzpicture}
\smallskip
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \draw[blue] (0,0) grid (3,3);
  \draw[red] (4,0) grid (7,3);
  \draw[green!50!black, xshift=8cm]  grid (3,3);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
