[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.

Thank you for your patience & support.

How much longer will it take to resolve this issue? I believe a partial refund for all affected users is in order, given that we are currently unable to work properly. This is extremely frustrating. It is unacceptable to release a new version containing such a basic, glaring error.

When is a fix expected? The workaround doesn't work.

Currently when I try to select multiple items, like a photo and a text box, and try to drag both, it only drags the first selected item. Anyone else experience this?

Seconding the comment that holding the shift key does NOT work as a workaround completely because you cannot select anything but a text box as a key object this way. It's been over a week, do you plan on fixing this major functionality yet?

This puts an absolute dead stop in my workflow. The inability to select a key object for alignment is insane. The "hold shift to move" doesn't solve this problem.

the latest update 21.4 makes Selection tool malfunction.
When click several objects and drag move only the object at the cursor moves, other selected objects stay still.
Need to group all objects before moving them together. -

This is literally ruining my workflow to the point where my company has had to delay our catalog release date. Yes I know the work arounds, but no I cannot just instantly adjust my 15 years of reinforced habits. Please fix ASAP.

Is this BUG noticed yet because this seems a very fundamental quirk in the latest update.

Same here. For me it happens when clicking image object. It also makes 'Align to certain object' function impossible
