Stuck (locked) objects - Why and how to solve?

[adrm]

In the latest version (1.10.4.1198) I'm seeing this consistently, as demonstrated in the attached file.

Steps:

1. Create a new document
2. Set up a simple master with text frames.
3. Add some text
4. Add a table
5. Try to move the table into the (non-master!) text frame

The table is now stuck / locked and can not be manipulated in any way.

 

Is this a bug, or am I just causing this by being inept?

Sorry, but I fail to see what you're saying.

I'm reasonably familiar with master pages, and I can't see how the master page causes what I'm seeing.

My issue is with objects (tables and images) inserted on regular document pages.

Clearly my understanding was less than perfect.

Thank you.
