Default Annoying Snap issue?

I'm not sure if this is a bug or whether its me or not?

I'm using 4.22 on Mac OS X 10.7.3 and like to do remixes in the vein of Acid Pro, with making my Own loops and arranging and locking to the timeline.

I've done this before in Acid Pro v3 (very old!) and its solid! and the I tried Reaper.

Reaper has much better algorithms, and easier features way above Acid to do this, and all has been fine so far with inserting tracks, getting them to loop and dragging them out across the timeline.

My problem is, even though these are cut perfectly in 4, 8 or 16 bars, in an editor destructively, when I import them into Reaper with the tempo match all is fine.

BUT when I zoom in to the end of bars, the 'minute' details are all off bar??!

I have tried to include a screen shot of this to explain what i'm talking about, but I have had this before. I don't want to go through a whole 8 minute track and re-align these but as you can see they are slightly off, something which if over the course of a track could drift?!?

the marker on the jpg is the exact bar line, but at normal level all looks fine, but zoomed all is off?!

Is this my fault and do i need a different SNAP on for doing loops in an "Acid Pro" kind of way?

Acid Pro NEVER had this problem and everything was locked all the time to every bar line.

I am a bit wary of using Reaper now for loop based projects, even though its great! but as mentioned this could be down to me and user error? I never touched anything in Acid Pro and it just worked! Do I need to adjust something in Reaper?

I've also attached my SNAP / GRID Settings to see if there's something glaringly obvious and wrong? -

As mentioned Acid Pro is fine at this and everything is locked at all levels at every bar despite it length....
