There's a little help. When the mouse pointer hovers over the text, a tooltip appears with a reference to the Shift key. This was added recently, so it might not be included in your version yet. It works in the latest Linux app image, but I can't test it on Windows right now.
The main reason for adding the Shift key was that the text would often jump to the next grid point when clicking, and you had to move back the text each time. That can not happen anymore.
Another improvement, especially for small elements, is that when you move them, you simply grab the element and move it, regardless of whether the mouse is over the text or not. But there are also a few problems, as you have already noticed.
In my opinion, there are two options.
1. We work with a second key, currently the SHIFT key. Advantages: The text no longer jumps, and when you move the element, you don't have to pay attention to where you grab it. Disadvantage: For any actions with the text, it must first be selected with SHIFT and the mouse button. Assuming the text moves in increments in the grid as before, we need a second key for moving in small increments (the CTRL key doesn't work, as it conflicts with the view mode). Further corrections need to be made, e.g., in GroupBox
2. We'll restore the previous state. There's another solution for jumping text. Disadvantage: When moving elements, you have to be careful not to grab any text when you touch the element.
