Hi Peter, I would suggest you update to 1.2.2 cvs if possible. These are known issues and afaik have been solved. As a very quick workaround and if updating is not possible at the moment, you can try the following: 1. Picture: try "Update picture" from the contextual menu (right-click). You should see your pic reappear at the desired coordinates. Pixelization will go away as well (unless you are missing resolution which is another issue). 2. Text frame: try not moving it by drag'n drop but use copy/paste instead and make sure of where you are when you paste. Another way is by using the Scrapbook (select the frame then right-click to select "Put in the Scrapbook").
