InDesign CC 2019 Freezes When I Use The Text Tool

[Ron Acker]

Every time I try to use the Text Tool in InDesign CC 2019 my document freezes and I have to close the entire application. I removed CC 2019 and reinstalled CC 2018 and it works perfectly so I don't think this has anything to do with a corrupt font. Any advice? I am using Windows latest version and use it on a 2018 Microsoft Surface Studio.

Hi Ron,

this is a known bug that is currently fixed by the developers. See here:

Problem with changing the cursor to text – Adobe InDesign Feedback

The workaround for now:
Disable InDesign's Control panel.

Do not use the Character panel.

Instead use the new Properties panel.

Regards,
Uwe

Hi All,

We have fixed this issue in our latest release InDesign CC2019.0.1. I would recommend you to upgrade to the latest version as it is more robust.

Let me know if you still face this issue.

Well, the install version is still 0.130 and not the new 1.209 (or later).

When you tell people it is fixed in the update you better make sure it is already out there on line... 😞

I still have this issue with 14.03

[tatet96936414]

Still happening on every click of the text tool. Updated to current version. Why is this such an issue??

I am also having the issue. Please advise. This is slowing down productivity so much.

It was an issues with another file I had open in InDesign. Once I closed it (them) I am at fulll speed with no problems.
