Trouble with presentation mode

[CARLA_STN]

Hello friends,
since the last update for InDesign I have problems with the presentation mode. Every time I use it, the surface/window is changed to the maximum size.
(Example: InDesign window = half screen -> CMD + W -> Indeisgn covers the whole screen).

Before the update this was not an issue,

now it is really annoying, because I have to adjust the window again after every "CMD+W"!

Can anyone confirm that they also have this problem?

I ran into this in my hopes of figuring this annoyance as well... But I found the solution and wanted to share (hopefully it works for everyone else as well). 

1. Open your document (Make sure to just have one Indd file open right now). 

2. Hit Shift W to go into preview mode then again to go back, just to check that it does indeed shift or re-size after going back to working view

3. Align your page to exactly where you want it positioned

4. Close (but not quit) that document. There should be no files open, just that "Welcome to InDesign" screen

5. Now quit InDesign

6. Reopen and test it out.

Hopefully this helps/works for you too!

That actually seems to be a good temporary work around. It worked correctly
as you explained.

Thank you, it worked! I was on the edge of a mental breakdown because of this bug. It's so annoying, should be fixed by adobe.

You are a savior! This worked for me as well, thank you so much 😄

I found a fix you could try (the other solutions didn't work for me): in the InDesign preferences, I changed the “UI sizing” option.

1. Open the preferences
2. Go to “User Interface Scaling”
3. Change the “UI scaling” option (a step up or down?)
4. Save the pereferences and restart InDesign as suggested
5. Open a document, go in and out of presentation made and see that the window stayed where it was
6. Change the “UI scaling” option in the preferences back to its orginal value
7. Restart InDesign again
8. See that it still works—at least for me!

I'm so happy.

So the post I made above worked... but eventually it would go back to it's annying antics of shifting again. This though seems to work (so far so good!)

Thanks @casual_Flower98C6

Well I was able to “break” it again by dragging the InDesign window onto a different display. But better to have a temporary workaround than nothing, I guess.

FIX THAT WORKED FOR ME:

NOTE: This issue only occured when using an external monitor, and whenever I left presentation mode my ID window became small and tracked off the screen.

1) In system settings, display settings, set external monitor as "Main display"

2) Close InDesign. 

3) Open InDesign. 

Done!

Hi! 

This happend to me two weeks ago. Been frustrating as ****. I'm using a mac m1 and what solved it for me was to: 
Open Finder > Applications > Adobe InDesign.
Right-click the InDesign app > Get Info.
check the box to scale it to fit the camera

Hope this can help someone else!

Having same issues, unfortunately none of the solutions worked and it's also driving me nuts! Any new solutions/updates to this issue? 

[simonn67730035]

Mine still does it too every time I open inDesign. But since I check the box to scale it to fit the camera it only happens one time when I'm opening it. Then if I click the top bar to scale the window so it appears above the dock this won't happen again after exiting presentation mode. Maybe it work for you too? 

[mateb64722629]

Unfortunately not, thanks for the suggestion though!
