Hello,
Since updating InDesign, I now get 3 frame boxes around an image whereas I use to get only 2 – It’s really annoying and I can’t turn it off.
Anyone know what’s causing this and how to turn it off, please? I want to go back 2 frames.
Many thanks.

This should do the same:
var sel=app.activeDocument.selection[0];
var itms = sel.allPageItems;
if (itms.length ==2) {
app.select(itms[0]);
app.copy();
sel.remove();
app.pasteInPlace();
}else{
alert("Please Select The Outside Frame");
}

Thanks for replying,
No text wrap, either selected or not;
It's so annoying because it's 2 of the visable box frames and the 3rd is obviously the image frame...
EDIT: It looks as though it's selected in that image because i was hovering over it when i screen printed haha! it's defo not selected though!

Uwe's right your IMG_0244_shadow.jpg has been pasted along with its parent frame into another frame, which is indicated by the drop down arrow.
So this image's frame parent is set to red and it shows with out a drop down arrow in Layers
If I select and copy the parent frame and paste into another frame I get this with the nested frames showing in Layers:
Hi Charles,
your screenshot is showing that your image was indeed pasted inside another graphic frame.
The case is solved by writing this, but nevertheless I'll post it…
Here the difference:
1. Not pasted into
The image's name is only visible at the root of the layer.
Container frame selected:
Image itself selected:
2. Pasted into
The image's name is not only visible at the root of the layer, but you can open the little triangle before its name and the same name is visible again.
Frame selected where the image was pasted into:
Container frame of the image selected:
Image itself selected:
A script that moves all the images out?
That would take a moment…
In the meanwhile:
From the Layers panel just drag the inner image name out:
Regards,
Uwe
When you place an image in InDesign, the image is placed inside a frame. That should give you two edges: the image edge and the frame edge. They may be at the same place, or not. The image below shows the frame edge (blue, with the linked image badge in the top left corner) and the image edge (amber). It's very hard to see what is going on with your closely cropped image. Can you select the outer edges? Can you share a full screen screen shot with the layers panel open?
