Extending rectangles on my 30 min profile charts.

Hi all.This is my first post on this site. I have been with Sierra since January of this year.I currently have a problem with my drawing tool, the extending rectangle on my 30 min profile chart which is not good.This needs to be very accurate when I draw it as the rectangle is copied on to a lower time frame where it is used for important potential trade decisions.When I position my mouse pointer to the exact point where I wish to draw from & I click it is tending to jump away from this point & continues to do so when i drag it.When I drag it to the bottom of the profile where i want it to be latched to, it is again jumping away & I can't seem to accurately drag & latch it to the correct position.
Is this a pc problem at my end or could it possibly be a software issue?.

Kind regards Karl.

The rectangle drawn at the top profile has latched correctly to the value area, where the one to the left has latched below & it wouldn't allow me to latch it to the bottom of the profile even when I tried to move it with the mouse it kept jumping above it & below it?.You can see i have had the same issues with the other rectangles, ie not being able to place them correctly & this isn't accurate enough for me with this type of profile trading where these levels are copied through onto a lower time frame & aren't currently accurate enough. Please help,

Kind regards
Karl.

What we think is going on is you have enabled the automatic snapping of chart drawings. You need to disable this. Here is the documentation for this:
