Text slipping in Grouped items

I created a building using the drawing tools, and used text to label the rooms. I then selected the whole building and grouped it together. most of the time it works fine and if I select the building and move it then everything moves with it and stays in the same relative position. However occasionally when it is moved the text repositions itself a line lower in the building. this was especially strange once when I was trying to recolour the text and accidentally moved the building at the same time. I ended up with the text duplicated, once in the new colour and below that the text in the original colour. These were both the same object, (both disappeared at the same time when I deleted them).
Any idea how often this occurs? Also, have you seen the same thing happen on other maps or just with that one?

Only noticed it with this map , but since this is the first time I have used grouping, and the first time I have used text, it is not really suprising :>) I will experiment and find out more details for you

I've had similar issues in the past with groups, to the point that I just stopped using them. :/
Nick T., any details you come across would be great!
Good news and better news..... I did a bit of research and it looks as if it is related to the fact that text and drawing objects 'snap to grid' in different ways, I remember reading something about how text "snaps to grid", but unfortunately cannot remember where on the site I saw it ;>( However the better news is moving while holding the Alt key down, (disabling snap to grid) seems to solve the problem
