HI there,

I am having issues when using the selection tool to move a content box, usually i could select it, then drag and drop in to place, however now when I try to move the box it will jump to the left of the pointer and I have to awkwardly drag it to position. I hope I have explained this well enough.... any help would be much appreciated.

Many people are reporting that the latest 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 forgot to mention platform, OS and InDesign versions - but i bet you're using Windows 11, right?
