Gradient tool not working in 2018 InDesign [Branched]
This is clearly a late reply, but I was just having this problem in March, 2018. InDesign is a bitch. Let's just get that out of the way. I noticed the issue when I copied and pasted a gradient box from one document to another. Worked before with no issues. Now it caused issues. it was like the copied gradient was locked could change the colors. I could move the gradient position and angle. That was it. Since I had just started the document, and because I didn't want to waste any more @#$%ing time with this piece of @#$%$, #$%@, and $%&@#..... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!! I created a new document. It looked a if I had the same issues. I couldn't select the sliding color things (can't remember their name) to change the color. They were locked on black and white. I went to the color pallet and changed it to RGB because nothing was selected. I had to do it for both colors of the gradient. I was able to change the colors, but for some reason I thought by clicking on the little sliders that a color pallet would pop up. Maybe since I'm so back and forth from Ai and PS that I'm tripping from how mother @#$%ing pissed off I've been for over an hour.
