This is not correct! You should click in front of the caption frame or just behind it, not in it! You insert the classical figure in front or behind the caption frame. If you want to insert a second figure next to the first (creating wto subfigures) then again take care of not putting a return between the two points where you insert the figures or they will under each other instead of side by side.
