From time to time the Move dialogue box will not show up when called using the hotkey Shift-Command-M. InDesign then thinks a dialogue box is open and will not perform other tasks. You cannot exit the phantom dialogue box with escape. You cannot save your document. You cannot quit InDesign without manually force quitting.

I am on Mac High-Sierra OS 10.13.1 (17B1003) and the latest Creative Cloud version of InDesign. I have had this happen on multiple computers and on multiple versions of InDesign.

I do not have multiple monitors - however, I do use the Spaces function on the Mac OS and have multiple desktop spaces set up. I have tried passing through each of these to try and find the box and close it using escape, but it does not work.

This problem does not happen all of the time, however seems to trigger when using the Move dialogue frequently in a fast-paced work environment.

I'm unable to place an Excel file/table. When I choose Place...select any Excel file (.xls or .xlsx) and check "Import Options":
- Options dialog appears, but no fields are selectable, except decimal places.
- Click OK, and I get nothing. No error message, and no content.

If I place a file WITHOUT options, I get the content of the Excel NOT as a table, but as tab-delimited text. This is not acceptable, as the integrity of the table is lost when I "convert text to table." Where there are (supposed to be) empty cells, data from other cells appears where a cell should be empty.

While in InDesign CC 2018 (13.0.1 x64) and selecting the "Publish Online" button or drop down menu command, the dialog box that pops up is completely blacked out. The only discernable features are the border and the "X" to close out of the dialog box. When hovering the mouse over the dialog box, it responds in ways that alert you to the fact all the features are still there and active - you just cant see them. The text field curser and the hand with a pointing finger appear at different spots. To see what would happen, I clicked in the box where I suspected the "Publish" button would be and it did actually publish my document online. So everything seems to be working fine except you cannot see what you're selecting. This obviously prevents one from naming a file or selecting various options.

I spent three hours with support to resolve the issue with no improvement. Support took control of my computer and we went through a lot of steps.
Upon restarting my computer at one juncture I was disconnected from support and did not re-establish a connection. Here is a list of things we did before that happened.

• Deleted preferences


• Signed out and signed back in (a bunch)


• Deleted Temp Files


• Uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign


• Uninstalled "cleaned" and reinstalled InDesign


• Uninstalled Creative Cloud and all related files, then reinstalled


• Changed default browser


• Removed Ad Block


• Changed some file permissions


• and a bunch of other things I didn't really understand

Help.

InDesign CC
Expected: Paragraph Styles Panel opens to a list of my styles
Actual: Panel opens and the list cannot be seen until the panel is widened to 3x its normal size.

The panel appears to be split into two columns with the styles in the left column. When the panel is narrowered (ie normal size), the styles column collapses and the styles list cannot be seen. The only way to access the styles list is to enlarge the width of the panel to about 3x its normal size. Please see the attached image showing the action of the styles column as the panel is stretched from a normal size to a larger width.

I've been an InDesign user for 10+ years and I've never experienced the styles panel having more than one column. I suspect this may be a bug in the latest upgrade.

I discovered an interesting bug concerning the Adobe CC suite and the HighSierra OS. Let me explain :
I'm using a LaCie Firewire 800 external hard drive on which I'm recording completed jobs.
Regularly, but not always, when using the InDesign or PhotoShop drop-down menu, the cursor takes the form of the multi-color wheel and blocks any action until I force the external hard drive to eject.
I use many other software publishers such as Panic, Apple, Google, GitHub, ... that never presents this dysfunction.

Here is the LaCie drive information:

Do you have any idea of ​​the source of dysfunction? Can I provide you with logs? If yes, which ones ?

Thank you for your help.
