y_range determines the range on the y-axis (in the compressed grid) to search for a compatible location. Within this search range, a compatible location is chosen randomly by generating a random number (dy) and adding it to search_range.ymin. rng.irand is used to generate this number, and its documentation (Link) indicates that the range is inclusive. Therefore, I believe we should pass y_range to this function, not y_range - 1. This is particularly problematic for IO blocks when the chosen x is located in the middle of the device, where y_range would be 1, resulting in dy always being zero and preventing the changing of IO block rows.
