    Hi @noriek31938412 ,

    this is really an odd behavior. I assume you have to trash either InDesign preferences and/or caches.

     

    If you are on InDesign 2022 you should first backup two identical named Version 17.0 folders in your machine's user folder. The exact position depends on your operating system. Details below, scroll down to "Restore all preferences and default settings": https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/setting-preferences.html

    Hi Uwe - I recently trashed the preferences because I had an issue w/ the type menu not appearing correctly. Not happy w/ the recent versions of InDesign,w ay messed up!

    The blank menu is a sign of a corrupted cache, so it wouod be faaster to trash that than do a reinstall.

    that said,  it sounds like you probably have a software conflict with some other background program if this is happeing with any frequency -- InDesign is generally pretty stable in this regard.


    Hi Peter,

     

    I use all Adobe products plus Word, PPT and Excel. That's it. This issue and now more similar ones where the menus are not appearing occur very consistently. Clearing cache everytime doesn't seem to be a good answer. Thanks.
