This issue was posted by a user on 9/17/254 in an InDesign-specific forum, which I cannot gain access to via login. User said: "Certain dialogue boxes appear partially off screen and can't be moved back on screen. For example, the Find/Change dialogue box and the Export dialogue box [specifically export to PDF (Print)] have both become almost unusable for me because important sections of those two boxes are located off screen. See attached screenshots. Dialogue boxes that allow you to expand them by clicking and dragging the edges/corners of the box are less of an issue - they often appear partially off screen, but once they're expanded at all, the whole dialogue box pops back into view. The Find/Change and Export dialogues do not allow this kind of expansion so that trick does not work for them. I've tried all the fixes that I've seen suggested for this issue online, including restarting my computer and changing the resolution of my displays, but none have worked. I've even updated to Windows 11 and that didn't fix it. I am using InDesign 2024 version 19.5 on Creative Cloud Desktop. There are currently no updates available for InDesign."
MY SIMILAR QUESTION as it relates to the "missing font" dialogue box (submitting 3/3/25, having had this issue for better than a month): I'm having this same issue (dialogue box is partially off-screen) with the "missing fonts" pop-up dialogue box both when initially opening an .indd file and when selecting "Find/Replace Font" under the "Type" menu—all I can do is "escape" and go forward with manually replacing fonts. This issue persists after at least two software updates. Switching back and forth between displays, mirroring and extending, minimizing the application window, following www guidance on how to move/nudge the dialogue box all result in NO resolution. What am I missing? This has been driving me batty for more than a month!! Also no .indd updates currently avialable.
