shift doesn't work at all
I updated the version yesterday.... shift doesn't work any more!
Hello All,
Thank you for your patience all this while; we really appreciate your support!
Our investigation suggests that one of common reasons for the problem is that certain software (mostly antivirus and other security applications) and browser extensions happen to enable “Secure Keyboard Entry” on Mac machines due to which some keys such as Shift key in this case do not perform the desired action in InDesign.
For now I request you to follow the below provided KB doc for the quick workaround of the problem.

In the comments section many of the users have confirmed that disabling Webroot SecureAnywhere (a security app) has resolved the issue for them. Please note that, the problem may not be related to a particular software; there could be a different application or antivirus which might be causing the problem by enabling Secure Keyboard Entry on Mac.

This is happening again. InDesign 15.1.2 Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6 (19G2021)
Any ETA on solving this?
PS: Thought I'm loosing my mind ;), nice not to be alone in this ;) -

Shift Key is not working to make the object proportionally after the new update in Mac.

Has anyone found a work around as yet as shift is key to quickly creating straight lines at either 45 or 90 degrees and scaling proportionately. Not getting anywhere with Adobe support.
