Lasso Tool selection snapping back when trying to drag with move tool small increments

This is a problem I've had for years, I can't find a solution online so I thought I would document it to share and start a dialogue. I just want to be able to move my selections by small amounts again!

 

Snapping is not enabled, this is photoshop 2024, but I've had the same issue with older versions of photoshop. Is this just a setting tick box I've missed?

 

I've documented it here:

@Alex29721129o4h5 I just tested on my PC with Photoshop version 26.11 on Windows and cannot reproduce the issue, have you tried updating Photoshop to the latest version and or manually resetting the preferences

Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset
