Image containers deselects everything else
The usual workflow is to select multiple assets and move them across the page with one click and drag. In this case I have 3 elements—a graphic container that has a photo pasted inside; beneath it a shape and a text box on top.
The bug is that when I have all three selected and I click on the image container, everything else gets deselected and only the image container remains selected (as if I clicked on it for the first time).
The workaround is to select all 3 elements and click on the text box or the shape in order to move them all.
The same happens when I want to align elements to graphic containers—I can select 2+ elements but as soon as I select the graphic container to be the parent to which the other graphics should align to, everything gets deselected. Doesn't happen with shapes and text boxes.
Using Adobe InDesign 21.4 on MacOS Tahoe 26.5.1.
This happened after the latest InDesign update.
