I can't move exactly the objects

I have Indesign CS5, I have turned off all the snap guides, but i still have the problem, that the program snap the objects in one place to another, so i cant put exactly each other rectangles. Here is a pic demonstrating the problem.

Here i wanted to place the yellow rectanlge exactly on the red, but this is the two closest position, a little bit under and a little bit upper than the target.

Can somebody help, why this happens?

Are you using pixels as your unit of measurement?

Your objects are snapping to the document's pixel grid. You can precisely align objects to each other by changing their X and Y coordinates, however if you are going to be outputting to screen it makes more sense to have all your objects be aligned to this pixel grid, as it is the smallest unit you can have.
