Anchored object - fill with placeholder text - not working

I have an image inserted at the start of a paragraph as an anchored object.

Using the Type>Fill with placeholder - nothing happens.

Can anybody else confirm?

    Works fine for me. Same version. Have you tried it both ways: with Type tool inserted as well as with black selection tool selecting the frame?

    Works for me. Try copying and pasting the text frame with anchored graphic into a new document or try re-creating it in a new document. If that doesn't work, try resetting preferences. Set preferences in Adobe InDesign

    Hi Eugene,

    works fine for me as well.
    Same version number of InDesign (German), same version number of OS X (German).

    A third thing you could test:

    Select the anchor character or the image frame if it's inline or above line anchored and try to "Fill with placeholder".

    Best,
    Uwe
