Issue in MIDI Piano Roll

It has been a while since I started a new project. I created a new one this week and noticed a problem with Piano Roll (where I program my Addictive Drum patterns). With previous projects I set the beats per measure and was then able to use the writing tool to program accordingly. For example, if I set 1/8 notes, I had 8 markers or spaces within the measure to work with. In  my new project,  I changed between 1/8, 1/16, and 1/4 notes. It did not matter; in either case, I was able to place only 3 markers within the measure. Is this a software issue or am I missing something associated with recent software updates (I am up-to-date)?
 
Thank you,

Try going to the Value control for note duration for PRV and make sure "Last touched" is not checked off.
 

Thank you. My apologies for terminology gap. And I did verify the "follow snap settings" is checked. Within the project I have been working on for a while, I have the Piano Roll set at 1/8 note and each measure conforms to permit me to add 8 individual squares per measure with the "Draw Freehand" tool. In the new project, it doesn't matter what I have done to this point, choosing 1/8 notes for example, I can enter only 3-4 rectangular characters or beats per measure and even with follow snap settings in place, they are difficult to place on the 1,2,3, and 4 beats.I have never had this issue before.
