Robert,
We've noticed this problem here too. It started when MapInfo introduced
"snap persistence", as I call it. Before v5.5, if you had node snapping
enabled and switched to the pan/grabber tool, snapping would be disabled.
You'd have to switch to a different tool and hit the S key again to
re-enable node snapping. Version 5.5 fixed this problem, and now when you
switch to the pan tool snapping is still enabled. But there seems to be a
bug in the bug fix, because the problem you described sometimes occurs when
you have snapping enabled and try to use the pan tool. This bug only seems
to occur when snapping is enabled. I've never seen it happen when snapping
was turned off.
