I am doing vector artwork (tracing a photo with pen tool), which I've already disabled all snapping features in "view".
Yet when I want to fine-tune the anchor point with the direct selection tool, the anchor point keeps snapping back to its original position making it very hard to move a small distance. How can I disable this feature?
In the preferences is "Highlight anchor point below cursor" (or whatever the exact wording is in English) turned off?

Hi,
Have you checked if you have Snaped to Grid or any of the others on?

THIS. Who knew? I wouldn't have thought that preference had anything to do with highlighting anchors.

And what is with the other options in the Control Bar:
Do you have this disabled too?

Are you working in pixels? You can't have a partial pixel.

I guess some pictures may help me express a bit better :v
I've turned off every snapping option.
And the megnet button here
But these purple line keeps appear everywhere and my curser is automatically snapped to them when moving anchor points. I'd like to freely move my anchor points without any snapping occur.

You're working in pixels... you can't have 0.35 of a pixel...

kaihin,
To elaborate on what Met said, this may hold (part of) the answer(s):
