I can not use Drop Caps if trying to have an inset paragraph

I cannot make Drop Caps work as it did only a few days ago. If the paragraph needs to be inset from the left, the drop cap and the following line or 2 are moved further to the right than the bulk of the selected text. Has anyone else experienced this?

hoping I have understood what you're wanting - I don't know of any other paragraph panel (maybe something else hiding in a sub-menu?) I had selected the specific paragraph but can not see any anomaly, myself.

I was wrong when I suspected a first line indent. It seems there is no tab, so, without seeing the file, I don't understand what happens.

That looks strange to me.

Is that what you have - or what you need???

It's what is being generated by InDesign now. I want the drop cap to align with the inset left margin. If the margin were to the left-most position (not set toward the right) the drop caps seem to work fine, but it steps in further than required/expected, when the left margin is moved right.

In your first screenshot, it seems that you have applied an indent on the first line only, and since the drop cap is on 2 lines, the indent applies to the first 2 lines. Did you try to apply the indent on the whole paragraph?
