Is this considered a bug? When you try to select the first image as the key object, the background is always selected instead.

Question

This background incorporates a "gradual feathering" effect.
Now, after pressing Shift and clicking separately, you have selected two images, and then you try to select the image on the left as the key object.
You will find that you always choose the background.
But if you want to select the image on the right as the key object, there is no problem.

I have no issue selecting your images and aligning them as you describe. I can select both images, the select the left image as the key object no problem.

Hi ​@dublove,Thanks for the clarification and for sharing the additional details.I tested the workflow with Content Grabber hidden and was still able to select the left image as the Key Object without the background being selected.To help isolate the issue, could you please try temporarily locking the background object using Object > Lock, then select both images and try setting the left image as the Key Object again?Please also confirm your InDesign version and operating system. If the issue persists, could you share a short screen recording showing the behavior with Content Grabber hidden?Looking forward to your update!Abhishek
