Text wrap setting on one entity affects text location in unexpected / unwanted way.

Publisher 2.21 running on M2 & MacOS 14.0 metal acceleration on (behaviour observed when off also)
Can you reproduce it? yes
Does it happen for a new document? yes

 

A master page is defined containing a text frame covering most of the page (as for a normal text based doc)

on a 'working page' (i.e. derived from the master) add a graphic on to the page.

Add a shape and convert to a text frame. Add text, place overlapping the graphic.

Select the annotated graphic previously placed

Toggle text wrap to jump.

 

Expected behaviour: text in annotation frames stays where it is, text in page frame should flow around the placed graphic.

Actual behaviour: frame text does flow, but text in annotation frames is displaced outside of the frame in unexpected fashion.

Sorry, but I think your expectations are incorrect. Text is text, and will obey the Text Wrap settings of the graphic element that it overlays or that overlays it.

If you don't want the annotation frame to obey the Text Wrap settings, I think you'll need to open the Text Frame panel for that frame and set it to Ignore Text Wraps.

Actually, it is not displaced. It is shown as overflowing text, because the red eye that you see at the right of the text frame when you click inside it is ticked (View text overflow).

 

And it can not be contained in the annotation rounded rectangle frame text because this one overlaps the image.

@walt.farrell, @Oufti Thanks both for your replies. Setting the 'ignore text wraps' on the annotations fixes the 'problem'.  Thanks for the steer, appreciated!
