When you got your result back onto grid, which function did you use? A while ago, I used function "int" by mistake, it cut my result by one grid down from time to time. Then, I switched to anothre function "round" or some formula like int(result/grid + 0.0000001)*grid to work-around it, then, everything looks ok to me.
