This may even cause a symbol to jump from one side of the center to another. The further away from the position, the more a small difference in cursor position will make. Snapping to a position attempts to place the light at the closest snap point in the direction of the cursor. When 'Snap to Grid' is selected, light symbols also snap to the spacing of a position.
