Since InDesign 2022 the icons for the selection tool and direct selection tool have been swapped, in comparisson to the other programs.

This change causes some confusion.

Is there a way to change this in the tool bar? Or can this be changed in the next update?

Hi PileOBonez,

this change was done on purpose.

It is regarded as a fix for a non consitent UI element.
