Hello all,

I recently updated to Indesign CC 2019. I immediately noticed that the pointer (selection tool) is now a hand icon. I've searched and searched forums to no avail. So, is this a new feature? If so, can it be changed? Or is this a bug? I don't like it at all.

I am running Mojave on a MBP Retina.

Thanks.

I had this issue today. I just restarted InDesign and it's gone back to normal

If in doubt, restart.

I think what you're seeing is the delay bug in the recent 14.0.0 release. When selecting the text tool, the system hangs for 15-60 seconds and many times your cursor is stuck in the "hand" icon rather than the text icon.

Update InDesign with the latest hot fix from Adobe, ver 14.0.1 through your Creative Cloud desktop application. Let us know if this corrects the problem.

Hi Josias,

Sorry about this. I would request if you can share a few more details like:

Operating System(Exact version of MAC)
Please install InDesign CC 2018 from the Creative cloud and check this happens there or not(Do not uninstall ID CC 2019)
Is it happening with other Adobe applications as well(Like Photoshop/Illustrator)?
Mouse Model(Magic Mouse/ Logitech MX Master mouse)
Theme Mojave(dark/ light)
Does it happen when you use Hand Tool and it gets stuck on this icon?
Are you using any spell check utility?

Regards,

Srishti

I am having the same issue and it's very annoying! Would love to know if there is a solution. The cursor is fine otherwise it appears only to be a hand in InDesign on the latest update.
