The Move command grabbed footprints from the nearest grid point rather than the footprint anchor. This was caused by the reference point being grid-aligned at drag start (commit89be3fd390), which was a workaround for fractional-nanometer positioning errors with non-page display origin. Fix the root cause instead: AlignGrid(VECTOR2I, VECTOR2D, VECTOR2D) relied on implicit VECTOR2D->VECTOR2I truncation to pass grid parameters to computeNearest. For grid sizes that aren't exact in IEEE 754 double (e.g., 0.254mm = 10 mil becomes 253999.999... instead of 254000), the truncation produces incorrect grid sizes. Use KiROUND for the conversion so all grid operations produce exact grid multiples. With AlignGrid returning correct positions, the move tool no longer needs to grid-align its reference point. Restore the anchor-based grab and the GetMoveWarpsCursor() preference that89be3fd390removed. Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/23308
