Never used "pcb View - Align Grid".
What may be the intended function? My guess: If you realign grid, all
other components will become off grid.

What I did: Align the new component to the grid, by grabbing its center
or a single pin. For aligning a single pin it may be necessary/helpful
activating "Settings/Orthogonal Moves".
