Map Module problem placing photos correctly

[Jayg01]

In Map Module When I drop a photo on a location it moves to another location. Much of the time if I drop on X  the flag will go about 5cm higher & 10cm left of the cursor.  After many days of trying to find a solution that included resetting preferences & refreshing the catalogue( I lost it & found it), I did find a link between the problem & font size as set in preferences/interface.  When the font size is set at automatic, small, or medium, there is no problem.  When set on large however the problem returns.

I have twin Dell 27" monitors with the resolution at 2560 X 1440. I really need the font set to large so I can comfortably read the text.

I can have either comfortably sized text or a properly functioning map.

Any ideas on how to have both?
Thanks
Gordon

This is not a direct answer to your question, but a "thinking outside the box" answer.

Use GeoSetter to place photos on the map, read the GPS metadata created by GeoSetter into Lightroom.

Thanks for that but I would prefer to keep it simpler & have it work within Lightroom

Which EXACT version of Lightroom are you using.  There was a problem with this on one dot release of Lightroom 6 but it has been fixed in the latest versions.

CC  2015.8

This works fine on Lr2015.8 on my Mac OS X 10.11.6 but in preferences/interface I only have Small and Large and I am using Large.  You must be on Windows so I will defer to a Windows person and hope they can help.

It's a bug in CC 2015.8 / Windows 10: Bug in Map module of Lightroom 6.8 | Photoshop Family Customer Community . Two others have reported the same symptoms, and Jayg01 has posted there.  There is a partial workaround described.

Please continue all discussion in that thread.
