Both copy-paste and Modify/Move/Copy functions add some offset to X,Y of all elements that isn't integer. This offset depends on the mouse position.
How to restrict this offset to integers only?
I tried to use Snap/Grid, Snap/Restrict Orthogonally, Drawing Preferences/Grid/Grid Spacing functions but none of them helped.

Re: How to move a selected region by an integer offset in X and Y?
Both tools are operating without any offset. If it depends on mouse position then most likely an auto snap is responsible for that behavior. Please double check the active Autosnaps settings below Application Preferences / Snap / Auto Snap whether there could be the reason for your observation. If you are not sure un-tick all of them and test the behavior in your drawing again.

Re: How to move a selected region by an integer offset in X and Y?
Leaving only 'Grid point' on the Application Preferences/Auto Snap fixed the problem.
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
Paste (PS) and the target position of Move/Copy (MV) both use the snap-points like any other tool that requires a position.
If you want to paste at a certain position integer based one can use absolute positioning by entering xxx,yyy in the command line.
Non integer based that is xxx.xx,yyy.yy
The dot and the comma are by the General Coordinate Format preferences.
To displace the target position by a certain amount we use relative positioning by entering @xxx,yyy in the command line.
Again x and y can be any number.
One can also use polar notation but that will seldom result in an integer based displacement.
The pasting position also relies on the fact if the cut or the copy was with (RT or RC) or without a reference (Ctrl+X or CP).
Without, the reference will be the middle-point of a box around the object(s).
Up to a point my auto spaced grid is displayed integer based.
Both the references for MV can then be picked on the grid to result in a integer based displacement.
