Unable to copy/paste Share for Review comments after updating to INDD 18.5

Since updating to 18.5 a couple days ago, I can no longer easily replace text in the documents from Share for Review comments. My coworkers place notes to replace text, and when I highlight and press copy, or right click to copy, nothing happens!! Now I have to manually type in their text, or go to my email notifications to copy the text. What gives!

Yup. Still waiting. I have a 350 page book revision we are waiting on until this gets fixed because the time overhead isn't worth it.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your patience. We have started releasing InDesign 19.2, and we have fixed this issue since this is done in phases so, once available in your region, feel free to test and update this discussion if you need further assistance. Here is the link to an article with fixed issues in 19.2.

Thanks

I'm having this same issue (Mac M1). I'm sticking with 18.3 until this is resolved. This is still a problem in 2024. I'd rather not have to use the web review as my cut and paste option.

Completely agree - it's so maddening! Pretty much defeats the purpose of the review link if we can't work from within INDD. Might as well go back to PDF sticky notes!

Hi @nznellecat @Jay Mielke,

Sorry to hear about the trouble. I understand how frustrating this can be. The bug is already logged, and the team is working on it. Meanwhile, you can try to copy it from the browser view.

Thanks

Hi together,

also had issues to copy/paste text from a comment.

It worked somehow after I was able to highlight text in a particular comment.

But the highlighting was not consistent, sometimes only parts of the highlighted text were copied.

Sometimes, when I highlighted all the text from a comment, the highlighting, my text selection suddenly shrank to a couple of words or one word without doing anything with my mouse…

I did this with InDesign 18.5. on macOS 12.6.2 on an older Intel iMac.

No screen scaling was done in the OS or in InDesign.
