Observed this also on 18.4.1, but the picker location can be triggered on any action, not only creation, but page refactoring too. Seems when user zoom in or out, it calculates coordinates as if the element as absolute, but CSS forces it to fixed, the coordinates become relative to a different reference:
absolute - positioned relative to nearest positioned ancestor fixed - positioned relative to the viewport
