G'day, and welcome to the community forum.
It may be Snap to Grid causing your issue. With a Draw window open, go to Tools | Options | | OpenOffice Draw | Grid and uncheck Snap to Grid.
If you do need the functionality of Snap to Grid, the Help - F1 - says "If you have activated the snap grid but wish to move or create individual objects without snap positions, keep the Shift key pressed to deactivate this function for as long as needed."
Cheers
David
