Selection Tool mis-aligns objects

New Here ,
Feb 04, 2025 Feb 04, 2025

Hello,

 

I am in InDesign and whenever I grab an object with the selection tool and try to move it, it automatically offsets the object off to the right a bit (see screenshot). It is making it impossible to properly compose my pages.

 

I have tried restarting, restarting the computer, uninstalling and re-installing InDesign. And I can't seem to find an answer in the forum.

Do you have any apps like Magnet running? What happens if you turn off any screen manager apps like Magnet?

Also, what operating system are you using? What version of ID?

Hi @David35989361789i,

 

I hope Mike’s suggestion helped resolve the issue. If not, could you share more details as he asked, like the OS version you're using?

Additionally, could you confirm if your issue is similar to the ones discussed here?
