PCB Grid Different for Via than Selection

[paulvdh]

There is an annoying grid bug in V9.0.4. I’m not sure whether your problem is related to that, but it seems likely.

9.0.4 Strange Part Move/Grid Snap Behavior

In all previous versions of PCB Editor, if you moved a part that was off-grid, it would move the part the selected grid spacing, keeping it off-grid, but then allowing you to snap it to the grid if you moved close enough to a grid point. In 9.0.4, it keeps the part off-grid and the only way I can see to put it back on grid is by editing the coordinates. Pressing CTRL allows you to place it anywhere, and SHIFT also does not snap to grid. Is there a setting somewhere I am missing?

V9.0.5-RC1 has been released a few days ago, and you can give that a try.
