Indesign text boxes keep shifting the text down when resizing box

when I open pre update files and resize a text box all the text shifts down

Hi ​@andym92494847 , What font is the text using? Can you share the document?

It’s hard to tell from your description alone. especially as you haven’t said how the frames are being re-sized, but have you checked to be sure that the text isn’t set to align to grid?

Hi @andym92494847,

Thanks for reaching out, and I'm sorry you're experiencing this, especially with an existing catalogue where the text was already carefully aligned.

Could you please select one of the affected text frames and check Object > Text Frame Options? Under General, confirm that Vertical Justification > Align is set to Top and that the Top Inset Spacing hasn't changed. Under Baseline Options, try setting First Baseline > Offset to Ascent and check whether Use Custom Baseline Grid is enabled. Please also check the affected Paragraph Style for Align to Baseline Grid.

If these settings are the same, compare them with a newly created document. You could also export an affected file to IDML, reopen it, save it as a new INDD, and test whether resizing the text frame still causes the text to shift.

Also, you mentioned version 25.5.1, could you please confirm whether you mean InDesign 21.5.1 by checking Help > About InDesign, and let us know your exact OS version as well?

Thanks,
Abhishek
