When i try to move a certain component in Altium PCB. The screen just jumps some else. I need to use view - Fit Document to bring the PCB in to view. What's going on?
please help.

Also does not happen to all components only 2 of them.

thanks and regards,
jai
 

this may have to do with the Autpan option in the PCB Preferences. See if you disable it that your problem goes away.
 

Most likely the origin of library part is way off.
What you should is edit library part and check where the reference is. Likely this is the issue. After changing reference to pin1 or center of component you will probably have to adjust part location in pcb.

absolutely agree with eda3.
has it been an Autopan adjustement problem it would show to each footprint not just two.
So as eda3 check for the origin of the footpints anf update them into PCB
 

OK, you need to edit the component in the library.
Choose the component in the library, then Edit -> Set reference -> pin1.
After that, the component will locate at the design area.
