Problem moving objects. Error symbol appears and when I release the mouse the object jumps off the page. I have the same problem when I move layers, pages, etc. I feel like something is "locked". I have restarted, updated software, etc. But the problem persists.

Also see https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/selection-tool-issue-in-indesign-2025/td-p/15141238 if you are running Windows 11. There is a major problem with a recent update to Windows.

Thank you, the problem is solved. The cause of the problem was that we had a second screen connected to the device.
