As visible on the screenshot, my image has a bottom offset, but the black box doesn't have any offset.
However I still expected the black box to displace the text column under it, if I place it on the top, especially because it has the same dimensions as the text column, but it doesn't.
Am I supposed to just delete that text every time, or is there a setting that would enable the box to displace or delete the column under it automatically, if they have the same dimensions (so it's obvious to the app that the text won't be visible under it anyway).
And, is there any way to snap offsets to document grid (like the bottom offset of my image), especially if "Snap To Document Grid" is enabled in the Grids & Guides menu?
I can't grab the offset to adjust it, then it would perhaps snap. I only can adjust the distance in the text wrap settings. How do i grab the offset to drag it to see if it snaps to the baseline grid?
Thanks in advance.

What you likely want to use here (on a pro level) is "jump object," which essentially gives the object infinite side margins and prevents any text from appearing there regardless of any other text, spacing or other changes you might make. Wrap around with no spacing might be jusssssst enough to keep text from creeping in alongside, and that could change.
If you experiment, you will also find that side wrap distances will push into adjacent columns, while Jump Object does not. All useful variat
