Attached stop loss issue

I noticed an issue trading in SIM this morning and need help figuring it out.

If I place a buy order by Left clicking below the market I see my Entry, my attached targets, and my attached stop and all are correct. If, however, I Left click above the market using that same trade configuration with attached orders I get immediately stopped. I've tried several times, on different charts with different markets and different trade configurations and all of them are acting the same.

Also, if I Left click below the market on a buy order, then drag that buy order up above the market, the stop order is not where it should be. In this case, just for example, I'm using a 20 tick stop, but when I do what I just explained I get a 2 tick stop order placement.

I only switched to sim today to work out some issues. I don't recall this being an issue last week in live trading and I have not upgraded since last week (Version 2333, Revision 40167).

To clarify:
My Chart DOM settings when I Left click above Buy Column is to Buy Limit.
Left click below market = Buy Limit
Right click above market = Buy Stop

It almost feels like the attached stop order is reacting to the mouse click.

Any help or guidance is appreciated.
