Question

Shift Snapping to weird angles / changing angles

Hey ya'll. I was working in Illustrator and for some reason my settings? changed. Can seem to snap to the 180 & 270deg angles anymore.

When I shift and rotate it snaps to an odd angle. If I extend that line while snapped on that angle, it changes the angle of the line.

Im pretty sure I have perspective turned off. Also tried toggling construction guides also. Tried opening new file, happens there too.

I've gotten a few gifs below.

Is Snap to Grid turned on (see View menu)?

If it is turned on, what happens if you turn it off?

I actually turned on Snap to Grid to help ease the work when I ran into the problem. So it existed before and after I toggled that setting.
