Bug when selecting objects in InDesign 2025
I am trying to use the new 2025 version of InDesign - but it is really unusable. Running latest version (20.3) on Macos (15.4). Mac Studio with M2 Max CPU and 32 GB memory.
One major issue I am having is that when I select a text box, it will actually not select the box until I move the mouse again. I click the box and nothing happens. When I start moving the mouse - it suddenly gets selected. If I do not move the mouse - nothing is selected - until I move the mouse. This makes it impossible to use.
I've seen some tip on Document Font folder or Contextual Task Bar or Magnet app - but none of those are relevant for me.
InDesign 2024 version works fine and it does not have these issues.
I did a test on my Macbook Pro (Apple Silicon) - and no issue there - even using the same mouse as on the Mac Studio.
I see some posts that Adobe has fixed InDesign with latest update - but that is definitely not correct...
I uploaded a video to YouTube showing the issue. In the video one can see the pointer icon changing to the selection symbol when I actually click, but as you can see, the text box is not actually selected until I move the pointer.
