Went to place an arrow inDesign over a photo Stroke appeared but not the arrow. Tried each arrow option without success. Also tried both start and end positions. Nothing.

Version 18.5, MacBook Pro Monterey 12.6.8.

I may have solved it. I changed workspaces from Printing and Proofing to Essentials and they worked. Guess it may be a bug when using that worekspace.

What version of InDesign?
What OS? What are your system specs? 

Just this document or all documents?

 

If a document is not behaving well then try 

File>Export 

Choose IDML

Open the IDML in InDesign
Save the file as a new InDesign file with a new name
See if the issue persists.

Try resetting your preferences:

Windows: Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
macOS: While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
A dialog will appear asking to delete the InDesign Preferences, select 'Yes' on this dialog.
