Placing an SVG file with View->Snap to Pixel enabled distorts the image
If I place an SVG file with View->Snap to Pixel enabled, some of the coordinates are displaced. See uploaded example, produced using version 28.3 (64-bit) on Windows 11. Unfortunately, the uservoice website won't let me upload a sample file.

Yep, can confirm that.
Placing the SVG with Snap to Pixel enabled immediately repositions the points of the placed artwork, as if as I clicked 'Align selected art to pixel grid' button. Not cool. Placing ≠ creating! -
That upload didn't work either. Here is an inline version of a simplified test case that also illustrates the problem. Also note that the height of the object as reported by Illustrator when the object is selected is incorrect, probably due to the extra height added by the glitch.

Yes, I was using File->Place to import the SVG. I attempted to upload the SVG file with the initial report, but got an error saying that the file format was not supported. Here is another attempt.

Robert, how do you 'place' the artwork specifically? With File > Place command?
Can you share the original SVG file also? Please rename it to .txt to bypass UserVoice’s draconian security measures. -
Attempting once again to attach a sample file.
