arcgis desktop - Dragging feature- linked annotation results in strange snapping and rotation behavior


I created feature linked annotation for a line feature class. Both the feature and the annotation are feature classes stored within the same feature dataset on an SQL Server Geodatabase.


The initial labeling made use of a simple SQL query which may or may not be relevant. The annotation was created successfully but I'm having a hard time maintaining it due to the following:



  • When dragging these annotation boxes to fine tune my print product, I use the Edit annotation tool. I've attempted this in both data and layout view (with a focused data frame). When stretching this bubble style annotation it is automatically rotated in a variety of directions and appears to snap to some unknown grid even though all snapping is turned off. It makes placing annotation impossible.


I posted Feature linked annotation not added when new features are drawn which is a related but different question here today. These are not duplicates.
