Tested in 4.20.3 (CL - 4369336), 4.21.2 (CL - 4753647), 4.22.1 (CL - 6063286), 4.23 (CL - 6543257)

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Download the attached project 
  2. Open NewMap
  3. Select the Cube in the scene
  4. Move it towards and away from the camera

Expected:The parent cube and its children cubes would snap to the nearest surface

Result: All of the cubes rapidly oscillate in scale
