InDesign bugs while running Office / Word / Excel / Powerpoint

[designsbyLINDA]

Hello.
Since a few months I have shortcut-issues with some InDesign functions while an office application runs.

As soon as I quit all office apps everything works fine again.

Not working things:

- Hold alt key and dragging with mouse to dublicate an Objekt.

- Hold shift key and drag on same level.

- Lock ratio with shift key while transformation.

- ...

That makes working impossibel. And I often need word running while working in Indesign.
So quitting ist not an option 😉
Any ideas?

Software
macOS 11.3

latest Office Version for Mac eg Word 16.48

latest InDesign Version for Mac 16.1

@designsbyLINDA Hi Linda, it's been a while since you posted without any responses! Are you are still experiencing these issues? Hopefully, the shortcut glitches have been fixed for you with the latest update, currently 16.3.2 on Mac. As for running multiple programs simultaneously, this may have to do with platform limitations or resources being reallocated elsewhere. We might be able to provide some tips to improve your performance if you are still having trouble. Let us know what's going on when you have time.
