Sometimes it's just a continuation of having one 'bad' element in the drawing and shift picking up on its slight rotation. Maybe something in your template is slightly off axis, if you've been having the problems over many versions and projects.
Frustratingly it is ussually a case of PEBKAC

Are you allways showing the tracker and the angle of whatever you are drafting? I have set up my working units with one decimal accuracy to show in tracker, to pick up on these kind of frustratingly small offsets.
I'm very obsessed with making sure everything I draft is accurate. Slight rotations, decimal 'shifts' in elements... The frustration of fixing it... argh!

So when you have such Snap Reference Lines defined you have to watch.
I actually have the habit of always checking Tracker values before input/placement, just to make sure.

I guess I don't use these guidelines enough and assume that the SHIFT key will always force correct horizontal and vertical directions. It mostly does but when it doesn't it is out by a very small amount which is not noticeable. Does anybody know why this happens?

When I input coordinates, I hold down shift, move my mouse along the path I want to follow, still holding SHIFT I press TAB once to go into the tracker distance field and input the number there. The trick is to not let go of SHIFT until you are in the input field.
With snap guides and guidelines it's very easy for SHIFT to pick up on the angle of an edge or line element rather than the intervals you set up in work environment. If you are not using them, you can turn them off (temporarily).
I have also developed the habit if zooming in on whatever I'm doing.

Preferably with steps so they can be reproduced?
Maybe even stripped-down files in which they can be reproduced based on your steps?
That way we can forward those to GRAPHISOFT for their consideration.

(This does not seems to be related to angles during input to me.)
