The snap to construction grid doesn't work if I change the plan orientation angle

Today I tried for the first time to work on a project with the plan orientation angle changed (34 degrees).

For some reason, if I draw a line/wall AND I click shift to draw it straight horizontally/vertically, the snap to the construction grid is getting bugged (like in the image: the snap is in the middle of 2 points of the grid). I tried to find a solution for hours but nothing worked. Can anyone please help me?

 

Operating system used: Windows 11 25H2

If you are using a grid with the snaps turned on, you do not need to use SHIFT as it will snap to the grid you have active.

Because you have rotated the plan (but not the grid - you still have orthogonal grid), the SHIFT is locking to the rotated plan x-y and your snap is trying to snap to the rotated grid also.

So if you want to snap to the horizontal grid, don't use SHIFT.

If you want to snap to the rotated grid then change the grid display to show the rotated grid.

You may need to align the rotated grid with your plan rotation.
