InDesign recent files on home screen text all jumbled

[monstermunchmonster]

Hello,

When I open Indesign (not an actual indesign document, but just the program), there is a screen which shows me all my recent files. The file names are all jumbled and I can't read them. It would be useful to be able to read the text because I need to reference file names so the thumbnail isn't very useful. Screenshot attached.

Does anybody know how to help?

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about this trouble. Please try following these steps one by one and let us know how it goes: 

• Rename CEP folder from following locations.  
  MAC: /Library/Application Support/Adobe  to CEP.old 
   
• If that doesn't help, rename extensions folder from  
  MAC: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/UXP to extensions.old 

• If that doesn't help either, uninstall the application using Cleaner tool (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html) and reinstall from the Creative Cloud Desktop app (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/download-install/using/download-creative-cloud-apps.html). 

While performing each step, please make sure that InDesign and other Adobe apps are closed.  

Let us know if this helps or if you have any further questions.

Regards,

Srishti

Not sure why this hasn't been worked out by now, (original post is from 2021) but option one fixed my problem also.
