InDesign library with images linked to server disappears on placement
An InDesign library with entries that contain images LINKED TO A SERVER will not drag-and-drop to the InDesign page. The library entry disappears upon releasing the mouse button and a Mac system alert sounds. Repeatable in CC2020, CC2021, and CC2022 in Big Sur and Monterey. This doesn't happen in OS Catalina.
Using SMB protocol to connect to image server.
Repro Steps:
1) Put images on a server. Use different image formats (.ai, .eps, .jpg, etc.)
2) Link those images from the server to image boxes in InDesign.
3) Add those images boxes to an InDesign library.
4) Drag/drop those entries to the page one by one.
5) Shift-select multiple library entries, then drag/drop to page.
6) Repeat steps 1-5 with same library in CC2020, CC2021, and CC2022 on Big Sur, Monterey, and Catalina to compare results.
Expected result:
Images will place on InDesign page without disappearing.
Actual results:
Images are disappearing from InDesign page during placement.
