It is a common mistake to think, that positioning frame/image/shape 
relative to page needs the anchor "page". Therefore this option is now 
hidden.

Yes. And that use case is very, very seldom. I do not know any example.

  In that case,

Do not use page-anchored Frames. Use anchor to paragraph or anchor to 
character. For positions relative to page you have the options in the 
right drop-down list in section "Position" of "Position and Size" page 
of the properties dialog.

If you really, really need anchor to page (Why?), then you need to adapt 
the anchor position. For that, do not try to move the object but switch 
to multi-page view and drag the anchor to the desired target page.

Kind regards,
Regina
