Try aligning the grid to different surfaces to move in different directions. I'm not sure what you can and can't do when the grid is turned on edge, but I think it is just cleaves and stuff. I know that causes a floating point error. When it is on its edge, you will be able to move it up/down or left/right along the edge (if it is a thing), which is why you need to align your grid in a different way. I had this problem when I first began, but all you have to do is realign your grid. It may take a few experimental tries, but you'll get it. Be sure to check out the tutorial. It is a big help. Once you start doing what I have told you, you'll see what I mean. It is hard to put in to words.
