Problem with swatch pallette

[franks65267173]

I've lost the ability to select colors in the swatch pallette. Is anyone else have the same problem? 

[BobLevine]

Let's dive a bit deeper and if I'm repeating anything I apologize but there's a lot going on here.

Is the swatches panel docked or floating? Can you apply swatches from the Control panel? Can you apply them from the Color panel? Can you apply them to styles?

[franks65267173]

The swatches pallette is docked. If I repetedly click on a swatch sometimes it works

[franks65267173]

I'm also having  selecting fonts. 

[franks65267173]

I have the same problem selecting swatches using the control pallette, but it's not as bad as the swatches pallette. 

[franks65267173]

The more I try to use InDesign the more problems I'm finding. It's very slow and there's lots of lag. That's problaby affecting how the palettes work.

Im finding the same, im also discovering performance issues when trying to use Illustrator now. Nightmare!

[franks65267173]

Are you on a Mac with a M processor?

[danp29628260]

Yes, im on a Macbook air with M3 processor.

[franks65267173]

I wonder if this issue is only affecting users with Apple M processors.

From the number of different threads - looks like that's the case. 

[franks65267173]

Are you on a Mac with an Apple M1 processor or newer Apple processor?

[franks65267173]

It's looks like this issue is affecting any palette that has a list in it. I can't select paragraph or character style sheets either. 

[danp29628260]

Yep same here!

[danp29628260]

@franks65267173 are you having any issues with Illustrator? Im finding it terribly laggy, moving objects around, deleting them etc is woeful.

[franks65267173]

Haven't tried Illustrator yet. I'll let you know though.

[franks65267173]

Yep. Done that several times.

I wonder if anyone who's having this issue is using Magnet? It looks like it can be responsible for this issue, too.

I have magnet installed. Do you @franks65267173 ??

[Dave Creamer of IDEAS]

Don't worry about Frank. Disable it and see if it solves YOUR problem.

[danp29628260]

Ive disabled and can confirm it fixes the issues. The performance of Illustrator is also much better. Thanks for your help Dave!

[franks65267173]

Just disabled Magnet and everything works fine now in InDesign! Wow. Who'd of thought. 

[Len30538929uyw6]

Can also confirm that disabling Magnet helps fix issues with Illustrator and Indesign. 
Thank you 🫶

Only Magnet developers know.

Magnet consistently comes up as a source of issues in InDesign. Up until now, the main problem was that InDesign objects jumped when selected if Magnet was enabled. The latest Magnet update brought up a slew of new issues described in this and other recent threads.

I hope that all Magnet users here will report this bug to Magnet support.

I already sent Magnet developers a brief note that they should exclude InDesign from the list of affected apps by default.

[franks65267173]

Yep. I contacted them yesterday.
