InDesign (whatever version) problems on Mac OS Sequoia 15.1.1

Question

Hi all,I'm literally unable to work now as a mouse left click barely works... I can select elements, but menus are not responsive to clicks – i.e. unable to pick a font, color, image within frame etc. I've tried a few versions of InDesign 2024 and the 2025 one, different mouses and input devices (pens etc.), restarting, resetting etc. There are no plugins installed. Anybody has an idea what to do? &#128591; I've got lots of projecs that I cannot finish...Computer: MacBook Pro M1 ProMax 64GB

Hi @Filip24862201wwc3,

Sorry to hear you're facing this issue. To help troubleshoot, could you please try restarting your Mac in Safe Mode and see if the problem persists? Here's a helpful guide on how to start your Mac in Safe Mode: How to start in Safe Mode.

If the issue doesn’t occur in Safe Mode, it could be related to third-party software running in the background. One app we've seen causing conflicts with InDesign recently is Magnet. If you have it installed, please try disabling it and test InDesign again to see if that resolves the issue.

Let us know how it goes, and we'll be happy to assist further if needed!

Best,
Abhishek Rao
