Question

Strange Column snapping

Hi all, I am a newbie to Figma and I would like to get help in using columns/grids. I have created a grid in my frame.

 

However, now, when I want to create new rectangle, lets say in the center of the frame (horizontal and vertical), it snaps to some strange position:

 

 

Can somebody help me and advise how to make it not snap to this position? I just want to place it anywhere I want, maybe snap to the nearest “guide”. But not to move the whole rectanble to the top. 

 

I have all snapping disabled in Preferences. I suppose it is because I use Auto Layout instead of Column/Grid, but I cannot find any option how to NOT use Auto Layout in the right side panel.

Thank you.

This is what you want to use, should be at the bottom of the right panel (yes, all the names including layout makes it extra confusing...)
