Hi, as I am suffering the windows moving bug in Indesign every time the mac awakes and I manually need to reset Workspace I need to know if I can assign a shortcut to reset the actual workspace.

I tried to do it, but the menu of 'workspaces' is not addressable in shortcut settings.

I need to to this 5-10 times a day ;-(

Hi @waldemarker,

 

I’m sorry to hear about the ongoing issue with your workspace resetting. Unfortunately, InDesign doesn’t offer a built-in shortcut for resetting the workspace directly. However, you can quickly reset the workspace by following these steps:

1. Reset Workspace Manually:
   - Go to Window > Workspace.
   - Select Reset [Your Current Workspace Name].

 

While this doesn’t solve the need for a shortcut, it can streamline the process a bit.

To help further, could you please provide some additional details?
- Mac Specs: Could you share your Mac's specifications?
- Monitor Details: What is the make and model of your monitor, and what connection type are you using (HDMI, Type-C, DisplayPort)?
- Behavior in Other Apps: Do you experience the same issue in Photoshop or Illustrator?

 

Additionally, if you could record the issue using your phone and share the video, it might help in diagnosing the problem.

 

Thanks for your patience, and I look forward to your response!

 

Thank you, 

Abhishek Rao

Hi, as told above I had the same on many adobe products, but (after a long while) Adobe has resolved them in Photoshop and later in Illustrator… but Indesign not. No change on other computers, monitors, OS Versions or computer/display cables.

Adobe Bug Team says that the bug is resolved, but it's NOT TRUE that the bug is resolved in Indesign 19.2 – I use 19.5 and I still have this issue. Since 2021 Adobe knows this bug, but Adobe is extremely slow in solving problems. (the are more faster in rising the subscription fee…)

After years in suffering this bug, Adobe slowly resolved it in Photoshop, and lastly in Illustrator – BUT NOT in Indesign, the program I use most.

You can image the 'joy' of using Indesign when the mac goes to sleep 5-10 times a day and 5-10 times a day I need to reset workspace to have alle windows and panels on the right place. It's such a sensless work every day. It's over 3 years that I did this reset probably for around 6,000 - 10,000 times!! Wow, what a joy about this timewasting work. Same for the other two products for over 2 years.


With every update I hope to get this bug resolved, but Adobe is disappointing me every time. So when will this bug be resolved??

Find enclosed a tipical situation after the awake of the mac, all panels of the second monitor are on the first/main monitor and I need to reset the workspace.

I had a long discussion on the same post on Illustrator since april 2021, but as it's resolved there, they do not care about Indesign.

Edit / Keyboard Shortcuts / Window Menu / Load 1st User Workspace. My workaround for the bug was to rename my saved workspace as Essentails (because the bug for me kept resetting to that workspace). Seems to have fixed it for me.
