Hi All,
I replied only to Louise yesterday by mistake . . . quick summary . . . I
had checked the Runaround Properties first thing and they were set to Don't
Runaround and neither Snap nor Gravity were selected. I punted and did a
whole system reboot and all is fine now. I have absolutely no idea what the
issue was/what caused it and I just didn't have time to beat my heat against
the proverbial brick wall.
Thanks to all the replies on and offlist. At least I know that I am not
alone out there. .

As Louise said, I am pretty sure this is caused by the Runaround Properties
on your imported graphics being set to "Run Around Contour" (the default). I
have complained to Adobe for years that the default setting for this should
be "Don't Run Around." I have a simple ExtendScript script that fixes the
problem. See

for details.

OK,
Here's one that I have never seen before, have no idea what started it and
how to solve it. I have graphics that I have imported into anchored frames.
I am using Frame's line art palette to draw arrows that point to certain
places in these graphics, I am adding text boxes that explain what the arrow
is pointing, etc. (and no, translation is not a consideration, so adding
text boxes is just fine).
I can click on a text box or arrow and resize it, but for the life of me,
all of a sudden, I cannot MOVE the text box or arrow to another position
inside the anchored frame. It's like once it's placed somewhere in the
anchored frame, it's locked to that position for life. . . uh, not good if I
want to make some slight manual adjustments to positioning like I have
always done before.
I figured it was like when FM lost its little mind and couldn't remember
the keyboard command to scroll through and insert variables from a list, but
saving all files and closing and rebooting FM did not solve the issue. This
just started and I have no idea how/why or how to resolve it.
FM 10, all current, Windows 7, 64-bit.
Thanks!
TVB
