    Default Sliding images within object

    It's odd, I never remember doing this previously - but seem to do it all the time now.

    I have an object with a photo in it. I want to move the whole object. I click and drag, but it just moves the image within the object.

    It seems to be when I drag too close to the center.

    But does anyone know if you can turn it off?

    It's driving me mad. I just do it again, and again. Maybe I'm just stupid that I can't learn to do something differently.
    I'd start a revolution, if I could get up in the morning.

    A new behavior in the lasted release is when you double click on an object, the most appropriate editing tool is selected. Text Tool, Rectangle Tool, Photo Tool, etc.

    It sound like you are enabling the Fill Tool which is dragging the photo inside the container.

    No, it's just if I click and drag too close to the center of the image.

    Antony I cannot duplicate the problem. Click and drag on a photo filled shape moves the shape, not the fill.
