Hey Jonathan:

Hold the Opt key and drag the bottom up. Like other Adobe objects, this will force the window to resize from the center and the top should come back into view.

Yes, it's a Mac thing. On Windows I use a keyboard shortcut: Alt+Spacebar, m (for move) and the down arrow key. How do I know these things? Because I have made every mistake possible, multiple times. 🙄

I just had an issue on Windows where the Find/Change menu was popping up with the entire top of the frame off screen. Alt+Spacebar, M did not immediately allow me to drag the frame (you still have to be touching the *top* of the frame to drag it with this method). However, just hitting Alt+Spacebar moved the top of the frame to be reachable because the menu it brings up is tied to the side of the top of the frame and Windows was smart enough to know the Alt+Spacebar menu would need to be visible. So then after that I was able to grab the top of the frame and move it as usual.

Hi Jonathan,

do you have a backup of your InDesign preferences folder named Version 17.0 ?

Try to restore it from a backup you did perhaps today or yesterday with TimeMachine.

Do that when InDesign is not running. That should fix the issue.

The path of that folder usually is:

Users > [ Your user name ] > Library > Preferences > Adobe InDesign > Version 17.0
