CbB inaccurate location when left clicking on tracks to split [SOLVED by Prefs Setting]

I have noticed this after doing a lot of editing recently using the latest CbB. It might have also been there in previous versions.
 
For example, with snap turned on (set to 1/4) if I left click on the timeline at, say, 47:01:000 the Now Time is shown correctly.
If I now click on a waveform in a track that I have recorded at the same location the Now time shows 47:01:002 (it's not always 002 and seems somewhat random). This makes it tricky to split waveforms accurately and happens consistently.
 
Is this a bug and is there any workaround?
 
Thanks

    Hi. This is expected behaviour, if "snap to zero crossing" is enabled in Preferences.
    Otherwise, I do not know.
    All the best.

    Not seeing that here. Are you using a right-click to open the clip context menu for splitting?


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    That sorted it, thank you Zargg.
     
    I must have set it and forgot it in SPlat a long time ago!
     
    For anyone else who has the same issue you will only see the "Snap to Grid" option in Preferences if you have a new project started.

    Thanks for the reply bit.  To clarify; I am using left click to locate the cursor then right click for the context menu.
     
    Zargg has given the solution which is something I had even forgotten setting in SPlat

    Just exercise caution, as there is a good reason why the snap-to-zero-crossing option exists. To avoid pops and clicks at the split you may need to apply fades that are longer than the handful of ticks (< 12, or < 6 ms) of "error".
