Multi-object selection drops when dragging to move objects
Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server
Adobe InDesign v21.4 running on macOS Sequoia 15.7.7
Steps to reproduce the issues
Create 3 or 4 separate shape frames on a document page (leave them un-grouped).
Select the Selection Tool (V).
Click and drag a marquee selection box over all the shapes to select them all simultaneously. (Confirm all objects correctly display their active selection handles).
Place the cursor over one of the highlighted shapes, then click and immediately drag to move the collective selection.
Expected result
The entire active selection of multiple objects should move together as a single unit.
Actual result
The multi-object selection instantly breaks upon clicking. InDesign drops the selection for all other objects and only moves the single frame that was directly clicked on.

I also saw this behavior. I ultimately rolled back to 21.3 for this and other issues.

I see the exact behavior which seems to be introduced in the latest ID 21.4 update.
