Override snap with control plus drag not working on PianoRoll

Question

I'm new to Logic and found out about a trick called "override snap" in Piano Roll.
Basically I need to have Snap set to "beat", select a midi note and, while holding control, move the length of the end of that note
to get it snap by division, thus overriding the current snap. However, when I do this, it overrides the snap by ticks, which is supposed
to be the result of holding control and shift ( when I hold both, I get the override by ticks too). So I can't use this control plus drag
to get it snap by division when selecting from the end of the note. Surprisingly, I can achieve this by selecting the note from the beginning
and dragging for backwards. This is not convenient and it's not how it's supposed to be. I tried resetting preferences on both Logic and
the logic keyboard shortcuts, resseting NVRAM, deleting preferences on Library, and updating to latest versions isn't helping either.
Can anyone help me get this fixed?

Hi JorgeP95,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below from the Logic Pro X manual, explains how to Snap to a beat or a division using the Piano Roll Editor.

When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you can set the Snap value for the Piano Roll grid, independent from the Snap value for the Tracks area grid.
Beat: Edit operations snap to the nearest beat in a bar.
Division: Edit operations snap to the nearest division (this is the time signature shown in the LCD and ruler).
