Story Editor won't open! (it has been opening very slowly...)

I've been noticing that Story Editor has been taking minutes to open.

But now it won't even open at all!

I'm using Mac. This is with CC but I recall this happened with me with CS5.5. I'm trying a 10-page test file.

Comm-Y, pull down from Edit menu --- nuthin.

I'll try an even simpler test file.

Hey! it finally opened. What's up w this delay?

    Hi Steve,

    I assume it's the same delay we see once in a session when an InDesign document is open and we switch to the Text tool the first time. If you open a document with a text frame, select the text frame and hit Cmd + y or Ctrl + y the active Selection tool will switch to the Text tool.

    @Jeff, this bug seems to be bundled with the presence of the Control panel.

    The bug is reported. You can add your voice for fixing the issue here:

    I think we'll see a fix in the near future. The engineers are working at it.

    No problems here. CC 2019 and macOS X 10.14.

    Start by restoring your preferences:
