Photoshop 23.0.0. (also 22.0.0)

Photoshop 21.0.0 does not have this problem (provided by support)

Mac Os 11.6.1

In Preferences - gridline every 1px, subdivisions: 1.

Create for example 64x64 doc. Then turn Snap on, and Snap To Grid must be checked in View panel. Then zoom to 6400% (this is the key). Then draw some pixel perfect square shape with Rectangle tool snapping to pixels, for example 20x20px. After that Free Transform (Cmd+T) and try to add exactly 1 or 2 pixels, to make it 21 xp wide. And now it snaps to 20,4 21,4 22,3 and not to integer numbers. So i can not make it pixel perfect anymore.

belight,

Do you have Snap Vector Tools and Transforms checked in Photoshop>Preferences>Tools?

Agree with Jeff. This works perfectly for me as long as Align Edges is turned on. If this is off, you'll get anti-aliased (blurry) edges because the edges will be positioned factionally within the pixel grid -- depending on where you mouse up during your transform.

Align Edges will keep everything neat and tidy.

You have Align Edges turned off. Turn that back on. That will prevent vectors from blurring edges.
