It's Not Possible to Add an Object to a Picture Frame as a Child Object

the point is that on Windows Ctrl isn’t equivalent to a right-click.

Out of interest, what do you see when you Right-Click a picture frame on Windows? On Mac, you see these options with both a Right-Click and a Ctrl-Click...

I see a context menu very similar to the one in your screenshot, but not exactly the same. Mine includes keyboard shortcuts for Cut/Copy/Paste and a few other options, but it’s missing ‘Set Selection Box’, and ‘Preflight Comment’ comes just before (instead of just after) ‘Create Style’.

After creating a Picture Frame, Ctrl-click invokes the ‘Create Picture Frame’ dialog with the Width and Height boxes pre-populated for another picture frame of the same size. Ctrl+Right-click displays the context menu unless the cursor is over an object on the page; in the latter case, a label pops up to identify the object (Picture Frame, Rectangle, Cat, or whatever).

I still think that the only "bug" here is that the help content hasn't been properly updated from v1.

v1:

v2:

See the difference?
Yep, there's none… ;) 

Because what's the point of adding a single image as a "regular child" to a picture frame, of all things?
That's exactly what was confusing me many times in v1: I always thought that the picture frame was "broken" while I was only dragging the image to the wrong spot.
V2 fixed that.
For me.
But that's just me, as usual, I guess.
Meh. :D 

I believe that this is the correct answer in this thread I will make a log with our docs team for this to be updated.

Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.
