[ID-4281542]Unable to move multiple objects when selecting image frames
With the latest version of Indesign (21.4) I can't move multiple image frames any more unless I group them. This also applies when selecting an image frame and graphic elements such as rectangles or text frames, everything else deselects and stays put with the image moving. Except when I click and drag on the non image frame of the selection, then everything works as it should. Can you please fix this as it is highly annoying.
Mac OS 26.5, Indesign 21.4
Workaround:
- Holding the Shift key while dragging allows the entire selection to move correctly.
- Rolling back from InDesign 21.4 to InDesign 21.3 resolves the issue.

The workaround with holding the Shift key does not work in combination with the Option (Mac) key if you want to copy the selection.

This also applies to alignment of multiple frames. When using 'align to key object', you can select a text frame as key object, but when you select an image frame as key object, only the image frame you clicked on retains selected. The other frames all gets deselected. The function does work if the key object is a group of image frames though.
