Question - IDE Object box and sprite mismatch in room editor

I have tried searching for this problem, but haven't found it, so I hope I'm not talking about an already solved problem. When I'm moving wall objects around in one room, the object's box and sprite is off by one pixel for some reason. Anyone knows how I can fix this? I have tried cleaning the build, as well as switching between snap and not snap in order to try and force them together, but neither is working. The point of origin is top left and collision mask is automatic, since the object is just a rectangle. Anyone has any thoughts? I feel like I'm overlooking something really obvious, so thanks for feedback!

I know, I've been sitting racking my brain over this the whole afternoon. Thank you for the help so far, I really appreciate it :)

I tried changing the sprite one pixel, and the box just adjusts itself accordingly, with the mismatch still in place.

And if you change it to a different sprite of the same dimensions ?
Trying to figure out if it's the dimensions, the object itself, the sprite color, maybe it's the coordinates. Doubt it's the coordinates. How about placing it in a different room ?

I mean it's probably a bug that tech support will have to have a look at but might as well see if it can be bypassed somehow..

I think I may have screwed with the coordinates. I am playing around with the object, resizing it with 1x1 grid. It looks like by resizing I have made it snap to subpixel coordinates... somehow. When resizing horizontally and vertically at the same time, by stretching the object from a corner, the box can pop out of position relative to the object's sprite. I do not know why this happens, or the technical reasons for it. I think I have to do some screen capturing and upload later to illustrate what is happening, it's a bit hard to describe precisely.
