Indesign Objects "jumping" when selected

New Here ,
Feb 07, 2017 Feb 07, 2017

Hi! Need some help. I'm using Indesign CC and when I try to select any object it jumps down and to the left without me actually moving it. Anyone experience anything similar and figure out a fix? It only happens once in a while but once it starts, I can't work within the document anymore.

HELP!

Upvoted and replying to say thanks...I know this is old, but BenQ monitor was misbehaving and I had the Display Pilot 2 app running while I was losing my mind with this issue. Resolved on quitting DP2. Thanks!

I had the exact same problem. When I marked objects in Indesigh, they moved about a millimeter upwards and to the left. Tested if the problem was in Word, but not at all, so it was only in Adobe CS.
Then I saw the tip to turn off the Magnet app. I turned off Magnet and – hallelujah –  the problem went away instantly.

Bless you all for solving this.

Quitting Magnet also solved the problem for me. But I'd like to point on thing out: I really love magnet and it doesn't interfere with any other graphical apps such as Figma or Illustrator. So I really think this is ultimately a promlem with Indesign and needs to be fixed there. Also @Adobe: These kind of bugs are in every second release of CC nowadays (I already had problems with Indesign and Chrome, Indesign and RightFont, Indesign and VS Code, …). This inconsistency in functionality really annoyed me in the past year and I hope this will get better soon.

I had an app running called "Right Zoom". It modifys the Full Screen button behavior. Quitting it solved the problem for me.
