Adobe InDesign 2025 text justify buttons issue
In the latest update of InDesign 2025 (as of writing this), there is a problem with the text justification buttons in the toolbar.
Previously, you could click these buttons and then just keep typing into your currently active text frame, which is what one would expect from previous versions of InDesign.
With the latest update, keyboard focus instead shifts over to these buttons, taking focus away from the text frame and your current text cursor position.
This is completely useless, and makes it more difficult than it should be to, say, change the justification at a certain line of text and then keep typing or navigating the text in the frame.
Would appreciate a fix for this, as it is causing severe interruptions to my workflow, and the feature/bug benefits no one.

Looking at the InDesign release notes, I now realize that this is an intended feature of InDesign 2025 20.3.
But I do believe that your intention is misplaced, no one wants keyboard focus to MOVE to a button that they have clicked with their mouse.For the time being, I have reverted to InDesign 2025 (20.2.0), because this is completely unacceptable UI behavior.
