Master page width problem.
Hi guys, more help needed I’m afraid!
I’ve attached a link to a quick dummy site where I’ve been able to recreate my problem.

I’m obviously setting something wrong but can’t for the life of me, figure it out.
When I move the Spanish flag or the text “Ver en Español” on the master page, the page width jumps to something wider and not always to the same width.
If I move any item to the "pasteboard", the page width increases so that I can't place anything on the "pasteboard".
All suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
Vic.

A master page should not have a content place holder. A content place holder is only used for master frames.

Hi Pablo,
Not sure that's my problem, although I have taken note of this.
I've attached a download link for two sites, pretty well the same but one produced in v 15.4.0 which doesn't seem to have the problem and one in v 15.4.1 which does.
I had thought it was to do with the master page but it's on even a single page, as per the two sites mentioned. When I move text or image to the right, off the page, the page just gets wider and sometimes, just moving things on the page makes the page width increase.
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong?
Your help appreciated, as always.
Vic.

Using 15.4.1, I checked both of your files. I fiddled, I faddled, I dragged all over the place but I never had any issues and could not get it to do what you were describing.

Maybe you have accidentally disabled the option 'Lock page width' in Guide Settings?

Hi Guys,
Thanks again for testing out my problems!
Pablo is dead right.... again!
The Lock page width wasn't checked. Why I don't know, as it isn't something I knew existed and certainly haven't knowingly changed. Not even sure why it's there or how you'd use it in its unlocked setting???
Never mind, off we go again.
Vic.

Yeah, I had checked that when I viewed your project but mine was checked which explains why i couldn't duplicate the issue.
