Inline object affecting adjacent text vertical position?

[turner111]

Can't quite figure this one out... all things being equal (manual leading as well), When I paste this circle in place, for instance, the copy on the same line (vertically centered in Text Frame Options) drops to the bottom.

If I adjust Y for the anchoring, the circle and text can be aligned, but do so "low" in the frame & the circle extends outside the bottom of the frame.

Not sure where to look to solve this...

thanks!

Set text wrap on the image to None, or another option?

Hey James - thanks - no wrap...

Seems to be a long-standing problem -- see it in CS6 as well.

I don't see a solution other than combining a Y-offset with baseline shift applied to the object.

Or a two cell table, or two frames, grouped. But nothing very "clean." Odd bug.
