Figure centered horizontally and vertically in a text frame

[Joachim_L]

I don't see my obvious mistake. I converted in APu a rectangle to a text frame and pasted a figure inside to "clean" the document. I want to avoid two elements, where there is only one element needed. Now I want to center the figure horizontally and vertically inside the text frame, but I can't manage to do this. See screenshot and document.

EDIT: Sorry, selected wrong forum. Should go into the feedback section.

Sorry, wrong forum.

When I open your document I see the "1" much lower in the frame, and almost centered horizontally. I'm not sure why your screenshot is different.

I'm also unsure how you got it positioned so far from the normal upper-left positioning I would expect.

Could you try again, and save the history with your document?

Sorry, made the screenshot a different stage of testing. Attached file with history.

I've no idea what is going on here. Something strange seems to have happened to the text frame. I put "ABC" in to replace your test. I can't see anything obviously wrong but the behaviour is certainly wrong. I used the Designer persona, outline mode,  and there seems to be a box within the frame. The 4 lines of the box were separate and could be changed (screenshot). If you just copy and paste the text into a new text frame you should get what you want.

@Joachim_L, that initial shape is not a rectangle, but 3 open curves in one "Curves" layer. I'm not surprised it does not align the text properly.

Thanks for looking. Never trust an IDML.
