bluepojo reported a problem in Balsamiq on February 22, 2010 04:48:
Z-index gets forgotten after delete, then undo.Create 3 items (I created 2 multiline buttons, then a Scratch-Out over top of them). Move the 3rd item (my Scratch-Out) down to levels via "move backwards" in the hovering settings box. Highlight all of the items, delete them. Undo. You should see that the z-index gets reset to what it was before, with the third item on top. -

Just some more thoughts:
The post I made a week ago seems to be perfectly accurate. Additionally, the severity of the "jump" seems to be affected by the position of the closest guide lines. As people are reporting, the element is snapping to a guideline, but the handles/outline is not doing the same. This happens when you move ever so slightly toward a guideline, while clicking, thus making the element think it's getting moved, but doesn't get moved enough to register a proper movement. As a result, you get a bit of a "half move" where only the visual part moves, and the actual element itself does not. The further away the guideline is that the element decides to snap to determines how severe the jump is.
This is just a side effect, however, as it is possible to cause a "jump" even without the presence of any other guidelines, just it's impossible to cause a severe one.
Make sense, or am I rambling? -

Right, it's very specifically a mouse issue. The keyboard movement is always on target. -

I've found that if you're very steady with the mouse, you'll rarely see a jump. It seems that if you move the mouse slightly while clicking, then a jump will occur.
I figured this out because sometimes I am using a laptop touch pad, which makes it very unlikely that I'll continue moving the mouse when I click an element, however, I often cause jumps when using a proper external mouse (especially my 3200dpi Logitech G9).
Do the following:
1) Create an element (boxes are the easiest to see for this bug).
2) Deselect the element.
3) While moving your mouse across the element, click to select, but do not hold your click.
At this point you should observe a jump. I've gotten to the point where I can cause a jump reliably.
Often I'll see the item highlighted, but without it's selection outline. (see attached image)
This makes me wonder if the bug is in the "drop" part of drag and drop, which keeps the position of the item being properly updated and having the outline not be reapplied.
