First, the latest InDesign update installed "2026" on my Win 11 box, but did not remove/update the "Start", or the "Taskbar" shortcut links ...
After sorting out the "Can't open this InDesign file - it was created in a newer version" roadblock, I have been working on simple, no linked art, etc. 8.5x11" documents and running into a BIG problem ...
Creating & saving a single-page document, then creating an additional text frame, adding formatted text, thinking about "what's next" \, etc ...
I will have the "text cursor" involved, tap the intended frame to enter SOMETHING/ANYTHING text-related & the existing content disappears ...
The text frame remains, nothing is flashing, no warning/error box appears - nothing ...
Going to the edit drop-down menu shows "undo clear" (not my initial reaction destination) ...
The "undo clear" desire returns the affected text, but in a previous iteration - the last save has resolved to "somewhere" in the run-up to said "save" ...
The backspacing of text, "enter" for a new paragraph > gone ...
Previous "before back-deletion" characters, no new paragraph break - whatever "accomplished since "SAVE" does not exist ...
Windows has been updated a few times recently (not sure of an update happening between an "OK" InDesign build & this latest workflow re-direct) ...
I'm just a remote Prepress/Graphic Designer who's getting older & more invisible (boo-hoo) ...
Would be nice if my $59.99/month subscription wasn't also an unscripted walk in the woods ...
