How to stop objects from snapping left inside a Figma section ? (no auto-layout)

Hi everyone,

I’m learning Figma and I’m currently running into a problem I don’t understand at all.

I’ve started to get the basics (auto-layout, grids, etc.), but here’s what’s happening:

I’m working inside a section (not a frame). This section was created by a plugin, not manually by me.

Inside this section, whenever I try to move an object, it automatically snaps to the left. I cannot freely place it.

What’s confusing is that there is no auto-layout visible and no grid

So I’m really trying to understand what is causing this behavior, and desactivate it.

I could just continue working around it (create another section and use "ctrl" works), but I’d really like to understand it properly so I can improve my Figma skills.

Does anyone know what could cause this problem ?

Thanks a lot for your help 🙏
