When using the InDesign CC 2018 (and previously 2017), ID holds the mouse "focus" and doesn't allow me to click in other open windows/programs. I have to right-click, left-click multiple times in another open window before mouse control is released by InDesign. There is no specific time frame after it happens - it can be using program after 5 minutes or 60 minutes.

I had my machine wiped last week and a fresh install of everything (OS, CC programs, Office suite, etc.), so uninstall/reinstall hasn't fixed the issue.

Running Window 8.1 on a docked Microsoft Surface attached to two external monitors.

I am using InDesign CC (13.0) on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 using a MacBook Pro13 in, mid-2012.

When The Buttons and Forms panel is docked with the other panels, it will usually refuse to expand. There does not seem to be a set pattern to it, but it seems more likely to expand correctly when working with TextFields than when working with Radio Buttons, Check Boxes, or Combo Boxes. I have seen it work correctly when working with a Text Field, then when I select a Radio Button, the Buttons and Forms panel will momentarily populate with the expected content before blanking out. But usually, it manifests by simply remaining collapsed, as though there is no content to show in that panel. When this happens, the panel menu options are also inactive.

I eventually found that if I un-dock the panel, it does show the expected panel content.

This is happened three times now. The guides appear on the screen is white even though there specified color in preferences still the default. The white areas on the screen such as the page and pasteboard color is light yellow.

The first time resetting the preferences fixed it. The second time it did not but re-profiling the monitor did. The third time neither fixed it and after rebooting InDesign gave me the "configuration error", "error 16".

I followed the instructions for this error that I found here:

Since this happened InDesign seems to be less stable and before and has crashed on me several times when I was quitting the program.

The next time the error occurs I will attempt to get a screenshot.

Mac Pro, OSX 10.11.6, InDesign 12.0.0.81 (And no I will not update InDesign to see if this fixes the issue)

Version - Adobe Indesign CC
2015.3 Release
11.3.0.34 Build
operating on Mac OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11

Steps to reproduce issues:

Create a new document with a double-page spread in Indesign.
Import four images into document and arrange on spread.

Import a shape into Indesign that will be assigned as a pop up box that will appear above Image 1 when rolled over, and place shape next to Image 1.
Place some text (e.g. "Image credit') on top of shape and group text with shape.
Open Buttons and Forms dialogue box:
- Convert group to a button.
- Set 'Name' as: Pop up 1.
- Check box to turn 'Hidden until triggered' on.

Select Image 1 which will be the trigger image for Pop up 1.
Open Buttons and Forms dialogue box:
- Convert Image 1 to a button.
- Set 'Name' as: Image 1
- Select 'Event: On Roll Over'.
- Add a new action: 'Show/Hide Buttons and Forms'.
- Set 'Visibility': select Pop-up 1 from list and set visibility as 'show'. Set visibility for 'Image 1' itself to 'ignore'.
- Appearance: [Normal] is selected.

• Select "Event: On Roll Off'.


• Add a new action: 'Show/Hide Buttons and Forms'.


• Set 'Visibility': select Pop-up 1 from list and set visibility as 'hide'. Set visibility for 'Image 1' itself to 'ignore'.


• Appearance: [Normal] is selected.

Repeat above steps for Images 2, 3 and 4.
Export as interactive PDF.

Actual result: 3 out of four of the images will trigger a pop up box when rolled over in the Interactive PDF as exported from Indesign. The fourth image does not trigger its assigned pop up box. The settings are exactly the same for all four images and pop up boxes. The shapes for the pop-up boxes are each imported separately, not copied and pasted. Sometimes none display, sometimes all, sometimes half. I cannot depend on this feature to work correctly.

Expected Result: Each of the four images will trigger a hidden separate pop up box for its corresponding image when rolled over and the pop-up box will revert to being hidden when the image is rolled off.
