New objects no fill or stroke color

[juliag36040488]

I have the following problem: if I draw a new object with the pen tool or if I want to create any other new object (like a rectangular box), the attributes / the appearance that should be applied to the new object (fill or stroke color) doesn't show. It's always a blank, invisable object. I have never had such an issue and no idea how this suddenly came up.

I restared the application, my computer and just updated to the newest version of indesign. 

Any clues how I can fix this appreciated!

Set the fill and stroke with nothing selected.

Haha, yes of course 🙂 I have the problem anyway, that's the bug I'm talking about. But thanky very much for the swift reply!

Could it be that you have checked the "Nonprinting" option in the Attributes palette with no document/obejct open? If so, all new objects would be non printable.

Thank you! but no, that's not it.

Hey there, make sure that your object style is in [Basic Graphics Frame] not in [None] then set the fill and stroke color when no object selected. Now create a new frame.
