You're looking in the wrong place -- "fmtoolbr" means "FM tool bar." 

It sounds like you're used to working with snap off, and you've
inadvertently turned it on. The command is Graphics > Snap, and a check
mark appears next to it when it's enabled. Snap causes graphics objects
(including frames) to snap to the grid. 

Personally, I consider snap essential if "approximately correct" won't
do, because positioning things by "eyeballing" them is not as precise as
aligning them to the grid. Of course, you have to define your grid
spacing to something that works for you. Do that with View > Options. 

HTH!
