If it's enabled, things are forced to the grid; disabled, icons can go where-ever.
With that as a hint I right-clicked in an empty area. A "menu" appeared. One line said "Keep Aligned". I had a check mark. The gradation of "acceptable" locations is much to fine to be useful. Again, where is any of this documented? You tried ;/ [MATE is quite intuitive. Been using it since it came out.]
Been a while since I've used MATE though, might still have a VM with it as an option that I can check in a few hours, if nobody corrects me beforehand.
