Is anyone else having difficulty moving text frames/boxes or when trying to move a placed image in a frame?

Every time I do this the frame or image I am trying to move jumps to the right hand side of the screen and the only way for me to move them is to click and drag to the far left.

Hello StStephensAdmin,

 

As the experts mentioned, we have come across multiple reports of issues with the selection tool, particularly when using a second monitor. This seems to be affecting Windows users more frequently. Could you confirm if you're using Windows 11? Also, please share the version of InDesign you're working with.

When you mention the "right-hand side of the screen," I assume you're working with a dual-monitor setup—please confirm if that's the case.

I’d recommend trying the suggestions mentioned by the experts and checking out this discussion thread for potential solutions: Issues with monitor displays and InDesign tools. Let me know if you find it helpful.

Additionally, we have a bug logged for this issue, and our product team is actively investigating it in collaboration with Microsoft. As soon as there is an update from them, I will keep you posted.

 

Looking forward to your response.

A recent Windows 11 patch update KB5050094 is causing this problem. Go to Windows Update > Update History > Uninstall Update and find just the update KB5050094 and uninstall it. You will see it by scrolling way down the dialog box page.
