None of my windows float in when I open Indesign version 15.1.1
The app is running, but none of my windows float in when I open my file.
I can't access any of my tools, pages, or layers... This is the only thing I'm able to see which is only my document. But I can't work without the tools! How can I fix this issue? I already tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and re-installing Indesign 15.1.1 and nothing has worked.1 vote -

[bug] UI won’t show up although app seems to have launched successfully
macOS Catalina 10.15.5
MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)Nothing appears when I create a new document or open one. The app seems to be working though because it keeps adding a numeric increment every time I create a new file. InDesign is updated to latest build. Please advise.

BUG - 15.1.1 - Mac/PC - text threads don't display
On both Mac and PC, the 15.1.1 version doesn't display text frame threads.
When I create a new doc, threaded text frames DO show the threads. But when I open pre-existing documents, threads don't show at all. I've confirmed this behavior with a few other people, on both OS platforms. I'm running on Win10/64, [Version 10.0.18363.836]. The Mac users were on very recent OS's.

Jumping to wrong tabs
Hi, when I try to click on the File menu, it keeps jumping to Window instead. That goes for any menu item I try to open. I'm using the 2018 version of InDesign on Windows.
Thanks

Click, click-drag combinations no longer work as they did previously.
Upon upgrading to 15.1.1, on Mac OS 10.14.16 Mojave
-Triple-clicking won't select a whole line, and, yes, I selected "triple-click to select whole line" in preferences.
Double-clicking does won't switch from the object tool to the text tool.
Double-click and drag won't extend the selection.
I didn't find anything in the Mac OS, Wacom, or InDesign prefs that referenced click or click-drag options. Adjusting double-click speed doesn't change this bug.
If these features were disabled to take advantage of the swipe features of Apple mouse and tablet gestures, please add a preference option to use a standard mouse.

InDesign Comment Area for Edits and Notes
Is there a note feature in InDesign to add notes for edits? I have always added a text box from a copied email but wonder if their is a sidebar utility so I don't loose the notes as I page scroll. Normally I have 2 screens but I think this feature would be cool as I continue my career in InDesign.

open a file window
Hi. I'm running on InDesign 15.0.3 on macOS Catalina 10.15.5
I was editing a file when suddenly InDesign crashed. A crash report was submitted and no harm was done. I proceeded to open InDesign and everything seemed fine with one exception. When I go File > Open, the Open a File window color theme does not match the interface color theme I've chosen (which is set to Dark). I tried changing to all the other color themes and it remained the same. Then I went into my OS system preferences and made sure my appearance has Dark chosen for all…

macOS Spaces
InDesign does not seem to properly use macOS Spaces. Some windows or popups prevent InDesign from showing up properly if the application is selected, either in the Dock or in the Command-Tab switcher.

When in text tool, command-a does not select all the Text in the Box, but all boxes on the page instead
When I am in text tool (and not just switched there but have been there for a longer time) and klick into a text box, and it CLEARLY has been selected and the curser is there, pressing command-a to select all the text in this box selects ALL the boxes on this page, even though the arrow has not been selected and the curser was already visible.
This happens so often that I am nearing madness with this bug. Is there a way to get this back to being normal again?

Keyboard shortcuts don't work InDesign 15.0 High Sierra
Had to downgrade to ID 14.0.3 twice after attempting to install InDesign 15.0 on MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) running MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6. 90% of keyboard shortcuts do not work at all, and those few that do, work intermittently. Extremely frustrating, very poor QC.

Easy-Access On/Off Toggle Needed for "Use Typographer's Quotes"
I create and edit spec sheets that use lots of "typographer's quotes" and "non-typographer's quotes" AKA "inch marks." Having "use typographer's quotes" turned OFF allows me to type an "inch mark."
So I constantly have to open preferences to turn typographer's quotes OFF to create inch marks in my dimensions charts, then turn it back ON to use typographer's quotes in my paragraphs.
Adding a quick-access toggle for typographer's quotes, or even including a shortcut to type the opposite kind of quotation mark would be helpful and save time.

New Document UI Issue
When opening InDesign and creating a new document, I am treated with a black box that houses all the options and selections to open a document. If I change the UI to touch based, it shows up. When I go back to regular mouse and keyboard, it goes black again.

App Switcher
When I use app switcher on MacBook Pro, Catalina, InDesign 15.0.1, I cannot get over to InDesign. I have to use Mission Control, then click on the Desktop to which I have assigned InDesign. I would appreciate if that could be fixed. Gary

Bug: Text wrap above/below, left/right buttons reveresed
When I assign text wrap to an object and unlink above/below, left/right settings... if I click the arrow to increase top wrap disctance, it changes the right setting on the object, the bottom arrow changes the left. What should be the Left setting, changes the Top setting on the object, etc... since latest update (15.0.1 x64, Windows 10)... looks like the icons in the widget are on the wrong settings.

Tabbing through values doesn't work on certain panels
When you press tab on, say the colour palette to input values in CMYK, the tab button instead of highlighting the next field ready for your input instead often places the cursor after the value you wish to amend which is frustrating and slows my workflow down. It's done this for years to be fair.
