Grid Offset in npc config isn't working

[Sambo]

I tried to change the grid offset of an NPC, but it doesn't do anything. And I made sure to save the config file, reload configurations, and reload the level. Still nothing.

Grid offset - is an offset of position snapping while you move or place item. It is NOT offset of position X/Y, it is only helps to correctly snap your NPC by "snap to grid" feature.
Global grid offset is not working on the custom NPC's. I.e. grid offset will be overwritten by recalculation of customized NPC. If you wanna change the NPC's real position relative to GFX, use the GFX-Offset and NPC's fixture width/height. Grid offset need only for correctly snap item into grid.

For example, items which have height 24px need for grid offset-y with value "8" while grid size of this item is 32px.

OK. I tried all that you said. I used a SMB3 styled blue coin replacing the SMW blue coin (npc-258). I changed all the properties of the coin to match the regular SMB3 yellow coin (npc-10), and they are still not lined up when placed:

Here are the codes in the config file:

Edit: I changed the config codes back to normal, and it works like it should, but if I change "grid" from 32 to 16, it gets a weird offset so it's not lined up right.
