Oddity: I'm typing the letter 'r' in a text box and instead ID is switching character styles

Community Beginner ,

I'm typing the letter 'r' in a text box and instead ID is switching character styles. Apparently ID doesn't want me typing the letter r. It's not my keyboard as the letter works fine everywhere else. I've already restarted etc. What is going on Adobe?

Check to see if GREP styles are being applied. Look in the Paragrapg panel flyout menu or the definition of the current paragraph style in the Paragraph Styles panel. You might be the victim of a prankl

Either there is a GREP style applied on the letter “r” or the shortcut “r” has been assigned to this character style. Check this.

When I check the settings for my paragraph styles, there are no assigned short cuts or GREP formats. Can you think of other reasons for why typing the letter 'r' in a text box fail and how to fix this? What happens: I make a text box, start typing a sentence, and as soon as I type 'r', this 'r' does not appear and instead the paragraph style changes to a list paragraph and overrules text colour, font, font size etc.

The best would be to see your file, or at least a file containing the paragraph style. You can send it to me by MP if you wish, or just post a link in your answer.

Even if you don't see an assigned shortcut, try to assign a shortcut (any normal shortcut that includes modifier keys). This will remove any previously assigned shortcut (as mentioned in a bug description above, single-key shortcuts can be assigned but are not displayed).

@leo.r I should have answered sooner that @Ida Sofie Gøt3530533922cx sent me her file and that I have fixed it: this was exactly what you describe in your answer.

Ok that's good to know.  I only learned about this weird bug bug today from this thread so it seemed like a possible solution.
