The file name is double at the top of open InDesign files. How do I turnb this off? Thanks.

Correct answer Michael Lande Publicis

I have the same issue. I'm running Sonoma 14.4.1 and INDD 19.4. It's not only that the title shows twice, but the application bar at the bottom of each document window that shows preflight status, zoom percentage, page navigation tools, and Split View mode is not showing. If I switch on the Application Frame with the window docked in the frame everything works as it should. I dislike using the Application Frame. Are there any other suggestions on how to fix this?


Just adding an update here. I met with Adobe support the other day for the 2nd time to attempt to resolve the issue. With support's direction during a screen share session, we ran the InDesign application Cleaner Tool and deleted a bunch of files related to InDesign.

 

The issue is fixed! All is good with the world now. Peace is restored.

 

I appreciate Adobe's support in helping me with this. Great job! Thank you!!!

I had the same issue but it's not a bug. It's a function in InDesign in your menu. Show tab bar - application bar. In the dutch version of indesign you can find it in the 'view' menu at the bottom. I guess it's for showing multiple documents at once in one frame.

Thanks MozesMaria. Had a feeling it was just something I hit by accident. That did the trick 😉

Try restoring your InDesign preferences and caches. Here's how:

The double name returned after opening another file. I will try rebuilding the cache.
