    "Paste into" seems broken in CS5 7.0.3

      I've noticed in InDesign CS5 (7.0.3) that whenever I use the "Paste Into" command, the top-left corner of the pasted object appears to be locked to the 0,0 (X,Y) coordinate, that is, top left, of the object into which it was pasted, instead of its previous position relative to the page spread, as in previous versions of InDesign, including CS4 and I think even the earlier releases of CS5. (I'm not sure where exactly this functionality got broken.)

       

      I am trying to find a workaround. The current behavior makes it very difficult to align objects that are inserted with "Paste Into", with other objects on the spread. The previous behavior was much more desirable, in that objects always remained where they were (relative to the page spread) when pasted into another object, instead of shifting position, as in the new (broken) behavior.

       

      Perhaps something in my settings has changed, but I can't seem to find it.
