I have no idea what's causing this, but for some reason a lot of the point symbols on one of my maps keep shifting around everytime I save and open the file. And by shifting around I don't mean 'millimeters', but 'feet'...

Fortunately the shifts occur in 2 or 3 groups and are constant, but still extremely annoying.

Any idea? Could this be related to the disappearing text problem I had some time ago?

maybe your computer harbours a leprechaun, poltergeist or gnome?

sorry, no idea about why this could be. I would try to isolate the problem, if you want to go further. putting things in a new file, removing other things. saving in different file formats. disabling some plugins.

Could it be due to something in the grid or resolution?

There's an Evil Duckie sitting next to it, but that's always been there...

It's one file in a series of 6, all the same size, all containing a large raster object and a bunch of vectors and texts. This is the only one that has this problem. I did partly reconstruct this one, which involved copying and pasting information from an older version of the file and then scaling it to fit.

The Symbols are actual vector symbols, not "type" symbols, right? Otherwise it may be an issue with the font.

Nope, just regular vector symbols. Nothing special about them.
