Type tool still deselects itself InDD 15.0.1

The bug has been already reported, it's been claimed to be fixed in 14.0.1, but actually still persists and never was corrected.

Typing "T" just selects the type tool very briefly, then changes back to the previous tool. Clicking inside a text frame has the same result, even if you get to select some part of the text, it just changes back tot he previous tool in most of the cases. The only way to get it work, is to select the tool in the sidebar, however even there it takes several seconds to become active.

Using InDD 15.0.1 on a Mac Pro, MacOS 10.13

    I've read this *may* have been fixed in the latest update, can anyone confirm? I'm not in a country that's been graced with the rollout yet. Thank you!

    Problem still persists, please prioritize this Adobe, this is a production killer. Running v 15.0.2

    Adobe, you must solve the problem asap!
    This crazy bug appeared again with the latest update 15.0.2 x64. InDesign is still freezing while the type tool is selected.

    I'm seemingly having the same issue as one of the Anon comments below - documents created in older versions seem to blow out everything. A new document opened from a fresh opening of inDesign seems to work ok. Opening a 'broken' document and then copying the content across to the new one seems to allow it to work ok.

    Opening an old 'broken' document first will pretty much make inDesign unusable. Even for any new documents that get created afterwards. It's like the old document is consuming all available resources (not related to anything seen in the task manager etc, I just mean it as a turn of phrase).

    I'm working on Windows 10, 64GB RAM (if that helps, that's what Adobe Support asked me for when I chatted online with them).

    PLEASE find out what's going on here. For many of us, this is our job and we can't bill our clients 4x the time because the software we're supposed to be using doesn't function as advertised.

    I'm having the opposite problem, mine won't stop being selected even if I change to any of the selection tools, the preview modes, esc key etc. URGH!

    I had the same issue. I changed my workspace from Essentials Classic to Essential and it seems to have been resolved.

    Still not fixed! You guys should be ashamed

  • Nacho commented  ·   ·  Report

    Still not fixed. Downgrade to 2019... Shame on you Adobe.

    Had anyone found a solution? This JUST started happening to me (on a deadline of course). Running the latest 2020 CC on a Macbook Pro.
