"Align Items to Grid" in Symbol Editor only, distorts graphic shapes in 8.0.5 & 8.99

Below are three items from the Kicad Symbol Libraries all placed on the one Symbol Editor sheet. These three items have been combined in a Box Selection and moved off grid. Three items have been used for the purpose of clarity.

Recombining with a Box Selection then moving with a mouse or M key will reset these items on the 50mil grid as expected. Recombining with a Box Selection and then using "Align Items to Grid" instead of M key or mouse results in the pins aligning correctly but the graphics and some text? distorting. See below:
