VariCAD sometimes messes up coordinates when working with numerical entry in 2D mode
I found that VariCAD sometimes messes up coordinates when working with numerical entry in 2D mode.
This can make it difficult to move objects precisely.

Here's a sequence of screenshots demonstrating the problem, plus my VariCAD file:

I think when varicad shows a snap point that is the point the cursor will snap to when the mouse is clicked. It is not the current cursor position. You can see the actual position in the dx, dy co-ordinates bottom right of the screen. If you check your drawing you will find the dy is 0.75 and if you enter 0.75 as the numerical entry you will obtain the correct translation.
