Control bar disappears from view when switching applications in cc 2018
When I switch from an application back to InDesign cc 2018 the control bar/panel will sometimes disappear. The only way I can get it back is to change workspace to "Essentials" and then return it to my custom workspace. This did not happen with InDesign cc 2017.
My specs are as follows:
OS 10.11.6 (15G1510)
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)
4 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon R9 M390 2048 MB

This problem still occurs in the last version of InDesign (19.2) on OSX. After many years, I have understood where is the bug: the control bar disappears as soon as you close your documents and it displays the "Home screen".
The solution is to deactivate it.
Go to "Preferences" > "General" > "Show Home Screen When No Documents Are Open".
