Drawings & Snapping

I am on a Free Trial to evaluate the SW for potentially using in the future but I'm struggling with some basic functionality. For drawings, I can't seem to place them where I let go of the cursor. Drawings snap to some other point. A horizontal line for example, snaps elsewhere and when I try to drag it where I want, it only can be moved to 38400, 38912, 39424, 39936, etc. Same thing for displaying values with the crosshair with display chart values. It will only display at these tick points (on the YM Chart). For drawing a rectangle, a similar issue where the height can only snap to these points. I'm sure there's a setting for this but I'm not sure where it might be.

Thank you

Make sure snapping is disabled:
Chart Drawing Tools: Automatic Snapping of Chart Drawing Ends to Open, High, Low or Close Bar Values

Also check this Chart Setting:
Chart Settings: Adjust Tool Values to Tick Size (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Drawing menu)
