Snap points on form

I have a project that I have been working on for ages, and all of a sudden a couple of the form have developed custom snap points, the dots on the form that you align objects against when you drag them around. One has gone quite small in both direction the other has retain the 'normal' horizontal spacing but the vertical has gone massive so when you drag an object it jumps from the top to the bottom of the form.

I know that there are settings in Tools/Options/Forms where you can set the horizontal and vertical spacings although have never used them. Have changed these, saved the setting, closed the forms, closed VFP but whenever I re-open the forms they have custom spacings so must being saved at the form level, any idea where?
 
I guess in a memo of the form. But no need to dig deep. When the form is open in the designer, go to the Format menu, Set Grid Scale will allow you to set the snap grid scale for that one form.

By the way, I did look into a form with an individual snap grid setting and didn't find it in the form data. Itcould also be stored within Foxuser.dbf. I neither found it there, but didn't look deeply into it.
