Adobe absolutely grinds my gears at times!!!

I am fed up with apps breaking overnight!! InDesign is the latest one. My 2020 i5 Macbook Pro, Monterey 12.7.2. Yesterday, it was fine. Updated to InDesign 19.1 and it's unusable! Contextual menus no longer work as they should (appear 2 seconds after clicking and then the menu is inaccessible), the only menu item at the top of the screen that is accessible is the 'InDesign' menu, next to the Apple menu - all of the others do NOTHING - and that's if I get as far as actually being able to get to my artwork, often it just beachballs! COME ON! I'm paying shedloads a month for this and I can't stand to have to deal with this level of detriment to my productivity in this way! If I didn't have a secondary Mac, I would be screwed!

when installing new adobe versions, it's prudent to keep the previous version until you're satisfied with the new one.  failing that, you can re-install the previous version after uninstalling it.
