Bug Description

1. Open the Update Footprints from Library dialog from the Tools menu (not from the context menu!)
2. Select for example Match by reference and type a reference.
3. Apply.

The footprint will be moved from its original location.

Step 2 is only one possibility; this happens with a selected footprint and "Selected" option.

It's possible that the location of the mouse click when the menu item is clicked is somehow used when updating the footprint.
