Change Module(s) moves components so anchor is on a grid point

[Robert]

When Change Module(s) executes, it positions the module(s) so that the component anchor is on a grid point. If the module was originally placed using a different grid setting, then clearly the module will move, which is most definitely not wanted. It should position the module(s) such that the anchor of the replacement is set to the same position as the anchor of the replaced module(s).

If the offsets are small they may not become apparent until the next DRC, by which time many edits may have been made.

Please, update your KiCad version.
And Report this issue *only* for the most recent version (This issue should be already fixed: I am unable to reproduce it)

Sorry, I didn't see any announcement of a new (Windows) release on kicad users and I hadn't noticed a new version had appeared (the old version is still there and higher up the directory listing). Anyhow, the latest release fixes the problem for me.
