anchored object ignores textwrap of the first line
When anchoring an Object in a text and selecting the object to wrap around the text, the first line ignores this command.
When searching for a solution, i stumbled upon this entry describing the problem.
the only solution seems to be to anchor the text in a previous line.
However, I want my textanchor to be on the right spot, so a screenreader can read it correctly - so anchoring it one line above is no option for me.
Is there a fix to this problem?

How has this not been responded to? It's maddening. I have a textbox at the top of a page, so I cannot anchor it to the text above it or it will be attached to the previous page. Okay, so I anchor it to right before the text following it. It hides the first line of text. I apply text-wrapping with a .25 in padding. It still hides it. Okay, so then I go to Anchored Object Options, and select position as Above Line. It nudges my textbox to the right. The dialogue box gives me Y offset controls, but no X offset controls. I ensure that "prevent repositioning" is unchecked, yet it will not allow me to reposition it. It behaves this way whether I anchor it by dragging the anchor manually or paste it into the beginning of the other text frame. Adobe has literally blocked all approaches to making this anchored object behave the way it is supposed to, so my only hope for reading order is to find this text box after exporting and ensure the tag is in the correct order. Did I mention this is a 99 page document?
I'm beginning to see the truth: Adobe truly does not care about making accessibility easier (or really, anything) for designers, so it has effectively turned its back on disabled users.
