Arrow Keys Unresponsive After Using Align Options in Control Panel (InDesign 20.3.1)

[k34097905j6ua]

Hi

After latest update align options stopped working like before update. For example:

1. select objects

2. use align option (any of it)

3. try to use arrow keys to move objects - doesn't work

I am experiencing the same issue. Go to align multiple object, then try to move them with the Arrow Keys and they do not move. If you hit the enter key, then they will move with the arrow keys after you hit enter. But that is silly. Adobe please fix this bug soon!

Hi @Kati Berwald ,

as for now until this bug is fixed, use the Properties panel or the Align panel and not the Control panel to align and move objects.

My align key "shift" and drag do not work, as well as scale, "control + shift" shows curser turning into scale tool, but it does not scale. I feel like I mistakenly hit a random key command to make this all happen. I have reset preferences, but it does not fix this. Next is remove app and re-install...

Hello @andyk49459754,

Our team has tried fixing this in the latest update for InDesign. Would you mind installing it and letting us know if it helps? If the problem persists, kindly confirm the exact version of the OS/InDesign and share a small screen recording of your exact workflow and the problem, so I can check this with the team.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
