cursor stuck on hand
My system has just updated InDesign to 19.1 (08/01/24) and I now have a grabber hand cursor appearing every time I try and click on anything in my file.
This also happens if I have another tool selected such as text box. The tool icon appears but if I click on a text box the hand comes back. It's rendered doing anything in InDesign files useless. I can't find a setting for it and I have tried resetting preferences but it is still happening. My computer system is running Ventura 13.6.
Does anyone have a work around?

Is there a fix for this, yet? I was having the same issue as Laura notes above so updated my OS to Sequoia 15.2 (24C101) and it's still happening. Absolutely frustrating and killing my productivity! (I've also been using IND since it was Freehand/PageMaker and I've never run into this issue before.) Please FIX!!! Thank you!

I am now having the same issue with InDesign 2024. I use the 2021 version on an older Mac and it works perfectly. This updated version is a mess.
I get the the problem is a stuck hand tool key. There must be a way to release it.I have been using Indesign since it was PageMaker.

I have this problem as well - is either a glitch or some keyboard command accidentally hit - but I can't move out of it.
