One major issue with ID CS5 is bad behavior of inline graphics. In FM, LaTeX, and even Word, if one adds text before an inline graphics and the space on the page becomes too small for the graphics, the anchorpoint and graphics will move the the next page. In ID CS5, the graphic will move upwards. That is terrible behavior, as text wrap only works at the anchor point and below, so as the graphics moves up, it will overlap text above. One can partially get around this by creating a one cell table and putting the graphic within this. However, the behavior makes inline graphics and pseudo side heads problematic for long documents. One has to do a lot of manual corrections. I can see no benefit from the way inline graphics are handled in ID. Please fix this.
Good of you to report it here so precisely. I suggest that you post it formally at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform. IMO, it's a bug; no modern professional software in its right mind should do this! I'd present it as a bug rather than as a feature enhancement request.

2. Re: Fix inline graphics behavior
[Jongware] Sep 11, 2010 5:33 AM (in response to IsleofGough)Be careful not to mix up inline graphics and anchored objects! Inline graphics -- copied 'straight into' a text line -- behave like very large characters, and as such, stick out of the top of a line when using a fixed leading, and adjust the line height with an automatic leading. That's no different than setting one character to be 60 pt large in an otherwise 10 pt paragraph.
Anchored objects are something different -- the anchor point moves around with the text, and the actual position of the object is set according to the Anchored Object Options.
I don't use anchored objects very much, so I cannot exactly reproduce your problem ... What settings are you using?
