Object moves automatically after leaving the mouse button in Photoshop

In Photoshop 21.2, I'm dragging/moving an object to a new position. After I release the mouse button the element occasionaly move a bit, jump away, usually in the direction in a way the cursor left the release place. It's really annoying. It's new for me, and it's only in PS.

Anyone else with the same problem?

I saw a fix for it involving deleting some files and reinstalling, but I can't find that article now.

Commenting as I am having the same issue! Turning off Snap did not help.

What zoom ratio are you working at?

If zoomed in greater than 100% objects will move to align to the pixel grid.

The more you are zoomed in, the more apparent this be.

Thanks for asking. I am at 100%. I have tried different zoom levels in and out. Obviously hader to get precise when zoomed out though. It is just an odd quirk, I have been using PS for many years and this did not used to happen, so I assume there is a setting I can change or this is a bug. But is it just me? When I drag an item with my mouse, I line it up where I want, then when I let it go it shifts a bit, like it was bumped. I am using Phtoshop (Beta) 25.8.0 - so maybe its a bug in Beta?

It happens to me all the time and I can't figure it out either. Have used photoshop for YEARS and this is the 1st time this has ever happened. 25.9

I am using version 25.8.0 and still having this problem! It seems so fundamental to Photoshop and I have to deal with it constantly. Turning on Snap (or turning off) does not help. It's not snap. Please help!
