Images cannot be used as align to key object
Images cannot be used as align to key object
I am working on Windows 11. Adobe Indesign 21.4
I am trying to use align to key object the old fashioned way by selecting multiple objects and with a single click choose my Key object. This used to work no problem at all.
I select multiple Text boxes and I can align them using one of them as a key object.
I select multiple images and I cannot align them using one of them as key object.
I select different image objects and text objects and I can align them using the Text box as key object.
I select different Image objects and text objects and I cannot align them using the Image as key object.
Same happens with shapes and images.
Conclusion is something is wrong with images or there is a setting I am not aware of that wasn’t present before.
It doesn’t matter what settings I have in the alignment panel under ‘Align to’.
The symptom, is that when trying to use an image as a key object it simply releases the selection when clicking on it.
Additional problem or symptom is that when I select multiple objects that are images and try to move them around they get deselected the moment I want to drag.
If a text box is part of the selection this doesn’t happen.
This makes editing a document very slow please let me know what’s going on or if its a bug, please fix it
Thank you!
