With regards to the Snapping, make sure the option for "Tools >> Auto Snap on Creation" is enabled (has a checkmark next to it). Also check the Snapping settings which are referenced at the following link:
Chart Drawing Tools: Snapping (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General)

With regards to the line staying selected after you place it, the setting we referenced should be the one that takes care of this.

We do wonder though, if perhaps you had the setting for "Tools >> Tool Settings >> General >> Support Drag for Drawing Creation/Modification" set to "Yes" previously and now it is set to "No". By default this is set to "No", but your description of how the line is moving makes us think you may have had this set to "Yes" previously, but now it is set to "No".

In particular, previously when this was working as you wanted, after you selected you Keyboard Shortcut, would you click one time and the line was drawn and placed (the above setting would have been "Yes"). Or, if you clicked once, the drawing was placed and then you could move it around and then click again to set its location (the above setting set to "No").
