I have seen similar problems multiple times, with 0.25 mm grid. Drawing
a long diagonal line in multiple segments will not always generate one
long line. I tried to select that line later, if only a part of the
diagonal line is selected, then it consist of multiple segments, so I
deleted it and redraw in one piece.

I think that is related to the well known rounding problems, which gives
sometimes 0.01 mil tiny line segments.

Using "/" mode for diagonal lines may help, I think I always used "_/"
mode.
