Adobe InDesign 2020 HUGE media panel

[Arrreme]

So, after running in a while on the new Adobe 2020 app, I noticed that the Media panel started to grow in size each time I opened the tab. Before I could notice, the Media panel was absolutely huge.

I tried to:

- Reset the workplace

- Reset the UI scalling

- Uninstall and Install again InDesign 2020

- Restart PC

Nothing has worked.

The only solution that seems to work as of right now is to downgrade to 2019, but the document I was working on needs to be converted...Hope I do not lose anything...

Do you guys know how to fix this with proper InDesign 2020?

It sounds like you should report this as a 2020 bug, here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/

Have you tried resetting your InDesign preferences?

https://helpx.adobe.com/au/indesign/using/setting-preferences.html

• (Windows) Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
• (Mac OS) While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.

When uninstalling the program I checked the option "Remove all preferences", but it didn't do anything. Ill try to do what you are saying when I finish the work.

This did it for me. Thanks!
Incredible that they haven't fix it yet.

I had the same problem with media panel in InDesign 2020.

After updating InDesign to 15.0.1 the problem was gone.

So far so good 😉

This is happening for me too and I have the latest version installed.

I have the same issue indeed. On Windows system . Reinstalled  15.01. - no improvement.  The panel complete blows up and is unusable. 

Seems like a bug indeed.

After trying reinstalling the progeam  multiple times - even  answering Yes when asked to remove preferences  -

the only thing that solved my issue for now...was after reinstalling ...and opening indesign double confirm to remove preferenced via the Shift+Ctrl+Alt.: 

(Windows) Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.. so again confirm to remove preferences.

Good afternoon.

I had the same problem. It is resolved by eliminating preferences. As Michael Bullo says.
When starting ID press CTRl + ALT + SHIFT.

Same problem too!!!

Same problem. And having trouble reseting preferences with Shift + Ctrl + Alt.

I am having the issue now. 2nd time this year. The reset preferences tip  Shift + Ctrl + Alt isn't working. Teh only way I can get back to working on the document is changing this workspace from Interactive to Essentials but if I try to go back the huge media panel returns. Basically I cannot use this feature any more. Any other tips? I am working off the latest version

This is a bug that i encountered while developing my own HTML extension. This happens only in windows and on a high resolution monitor. I sort of fixed it by changing the height and width of the panel in the CSXS file, don't remember correctly but it was an odd fix. Some other developers also have reported it. Will add more details too this, i hope Adobe does fix this in CEP, this has been rearing it's head since CC2018 on and off.

Hi all,

Just wanted to confirm if this issue still persists with the latest InDesign update. Many users were able to resolve this by resetting preferences. I'd also recommend updating OS and GPU to the latest version. Hope it helps.
