It seems the problem solved itself. It is now working. I just uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign and now it works.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Hello @Ryan23809599gtv5,

Could you check if InDesign behaves this way with all files, or when saving to a different folder location, so I can better assist you?

Also, try running InDesign under Safe Mode (Windows / macOS) and checking if it helps?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
