ID 2022 - Content Grabber visual missing?

Question

Hello,I just found out the transparent bagel or whatever, in images is called the "Content Grabber". I'm in the 'love it' crowd, but when I updated to the 2022 version the actual bagle has disappeared. The only way I can tell I'm hovering over that spot now is the change from pointer to grabber hand, and it's too subtle when moving images for me to avoid now. I use both features (changing bounding box and moving the content) enough where it would be a major hassle to go hide/show the content grabber all the time. I have tried hiding and showing the content grabber, hoping that the visual would come back, but no.Am I missing a setting that changed with the update? Running on Mac OS 11.6.InDesign 2022 v17.0 Thanks!

HI @Stevie5E80:

When you install an InDesign upgrade, the default is to port over your preferences from the previous version. This process can cause issues. I encountered enough problems with it over the years so at this point, I just turn it off. (I also keep the old version in case the new one has issues.)

You are past this now, but you might find that rebuilding the cache/preferences now will restore the normal display of the Content Grabber.

Hi @Stevie5E80:

I know, I feel the same way. I just aside time to reset my preferences and manually copy my scripts, find/change queries and style mapping presets over. I can get it done in about 15 minutes.
