Arrow Key Issues with Cursor Movement in InDesign 19.0 (2024) Middle East Version

[Muhannad Ha]

Hello,

I'm currently using the Middle East edition of InDesign. After updating to version 19.0 (2024), I've encountered a peculiar issue with cursor movement.

Specifically, when I set cursor movement to "Visual" under Preferences - Right to Left - Cursor Movement, the left and right arrow keys behave erratically. Instead of moving linearly, they seem to jump to random positions within the paragraph.

I've attempted several troubleshooting steps, including:

• Resetting the preferences.
• Exporting and reopening documents as IDML.
• Creating new documents from scratch.

Unfortunately, this issue persists across all documents.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
