Problem with image captions

[k31thw]

I don’t know whether I am doing something dumb or this is a bug (to be honest, I think it’s a bug).

If I insert an image and add a caption, I can move the image and the caption moves with it. If, however, having positioned the image I start typing some text and then decide that I need to move the image, the image moves but the caption stays where it was.

So, me or a bug?

Move image with caption frame in text.

If you insert a caption while an image is selected, A TextFrame is created, the image is moved to that frame and anchored to its only paragraph. Then the caption is added to that paragraph (position depending on setting).
The image itself can be moved to a different position while the frame stays where it was. (Of course it’s disputable if this is a good idea.)
Move the frame instead of the image. Problems gone.

Thank you both. So it was me being dumb after all.

I managed to miss the frame within a frame when dealing with images and captions. So I just highlighted the image frame when moving the image.

Have now practised doing it properly and, obviously, it worked fine.

Note to self - do try to read the documentation properly!

Thanks again from an embarrassed ex IT consultant
