I do not see that.
However I noticed the screen is not immediately refreshed when the
cursor is moved from keys.

So if you press the up arrow and then the left arrow, the cursor move
one step up , and it will move one step left only if a refresh happens,
like a new arrow key or a F3 zoom redraw.
So the cursor move is one arrow key behind the actual key displacement.

(There are also screen refresh issues in libedit when creating a new
graphic item or moving a graphic item)

I don't think the ignore snapping modifier key does anything when moving the cursor with the arrow keys so this could be something to take a look at if you are trying to improve this behavior.  The only issue I see would be when this condition occurs, what would be the step distance for each cursor press.  It might take a few key presses to move the cursor any noticeable difference if you use the minimum board resolution of 1 nanometer.  I guess you calculate some "reasonable" distance based on the current zoom level and/or  grid spacing.
