Overflow of Indesign off the screen

Finally getting around to posting this - for over 6 months I've been having these two main annoying problems.

 

1. Overflowing swatches in type properties:

My workaround so far has been to move the whole program over to change to the colour I need then move it back... now imagine that on a 30 page doc.

 

2. Can't reach the menu to close or move:

Almost every time I open the program I can't use the menu to close or move the program as it is sitting under my Mac menu. My workaround is to mess around with getting it onto another screen for it to show up (when I'm on one screen I have to just leave it).

 

What I've tried:

  • Uninstall, reinstall
  • Update Mac (x many)
  • Install new versions (I think I've updated between versions 3-4 times and installed from 2024 to 2025, it happens in both, and in Beta)
  • Changing preferences
  • Changing workspaces
  • Resetting workspaces
  • Resetting all preferences
  • Turn it off and on again

 

Does anyone know how to help!? It's been really annoying.

what's your macOS version?

 

also, please double-check if you performed all the recommended troubleshooting steps, especially clearing caches:

Thanks for this!

Current Mac OS: Sequoia 15.2 but this started while I still had Sonoma installed.

I've done steps 1-3 of that article, but hesitant with the caches because I always mess something up when I play in there. I have used the CC Cleaner tool though, if that makes a difference?

Actually, cleaning caches is exactly what sometimes solves some unusual UI issues. It might as well won't, but you won't know until you try.
