move command is not moving objects the distance that I enter

HI All

for some reason when i try to move these shapes, it doesn't move them left 55 like i type, it moves them the distance my mouse pointer was to the side.

I am thinking it is probably a setting but i cant think what it would be.

attached it a video of me selecting the objects, typing M for move, typing 55 then enter, yet it moves 24.8

(view in My Videos)

Same issue here, but it doesn't resolve upon file close/re-open, or AutoCAD restart.

I've discovered that this only happens when I have a Centerline object also selected (centerlines cannot be moved via dynamic input??).

Do you have any running Object Snap mode(s) on? That's always the prime suspect when things "work" but don't end at the location you expect.

Only the same Snaps that I've been running for a decade. In my instance, I think it was a corruption issue with centerlines placed on blocks and then copied.

Once I placed the CL within the blocks, instead of on top of, the issue remediated and hasn't reoccurred (yet).
