Empty frames generated when using primary text frames with facing pages and pages reshuffle

This is an annoying issue that when I'm using primary text frames on facing pages, whenever the pages reshuffle a new empty frame gets added behind the active text thread on all the verso pages only. For years I've just ignored it, but I'm kind of picky about not having any extra elements that aren't being used. Has anyone else noticed this and found a way to stop it from happening?

Thanks, glad to find someone who understands what's going on "behind the scenes" here. It seems it's working as intended, but the logic doesn't always make a lot of sense when working with primary text frames.

I said from the start it's working as intended, so we understood the issue from the start. 

 

I do agree it's not intuitive if you post a link to the InDesign user voice we can upvote with you there 

 

I'm glad someone was able to explain better than I was, clearly my explanation/understanding wasn't helpful for you and that the explanation is satisfactory for you now.

 

The members of this forum are amazing and it's great to get so many perspectives.

 

Best of luck and any further issues I'll certainly try to explain it better.

 

Have a nice day
