I've recently updated to a newer version of ID and for some reason can no longer move a frame & image at the same time with the mouse.
If I select a frame and use the arrow keys to move it, the image moves at the same time as expected.
If I try to move or scale a frame with the mouse, the frame changes first and when I release the mouse, the image adjusts accordingly. Incredibly frustrating.
There must be an option somewhere to prevent it doing this but I can't find it.
Can anyone help? Thanks
Does changing Live Screen Drawing to Immediate make a difference?

Click and hold for a second. Then scale.

I think Bob's hold method works if your Live Screen Drawing pref is set to Delayed—with Never the screen update doesn't happen until you release the object. With Immediate you don't have to hold.

Glad that helps. I personally use Bob's technique of press, hold, then move the mouse when I want the frame and image to move together, but a lot of my students prefer to see the action immediately, so luckily there's a option for that!

Once upon a time, Adobe had immediate as the default. The result was myriad complaints about performance. Beyond very small documents, I do not recommend using it which is why I didn't mention it.
