Type Tool deselecting itself after few seconds when using shortcut (MAC)

[#1]

This one is driving me insane because i use it all the time.

When i use the shortcut "T", the type tool is selected and with it the top menu switches as it should BUT after about 2 secons everything just switches back to what ever tool i had before (and so does the menu).

When i try to be faster than the reversion and try to klick a text window, it doesnt work. So it looks like it is not even really switching to the tool but just showing the interface change before going back. Also when i restart my mac or update indesign (or change versions) sometimes fixes the issue for about 10 - 20 minutes. Just restarting Indesign doesnt help.

This started some versions ago and has not been fixed in 15.1.1 yet.

I did the usual troubleshooting too.

I'm on Mac 10.15.5 and InDesign 15.0.3, and not experiencing this issue.

Tell us what you mean by "the usual troubleshooting". Did you specifically delete the preferences and cache? If not, work through the last section in this post: https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-rebuilding-preferences-cache/.

Im also on OS 10.15.5 but am few Indesign versions later (15.1.1) so its possible that this issue got re-enabled sometime between 15.0.3 and 15.1.

Yes with "the usual troubleshooting" i meant deleting the cache, deleting the pref folder, creating a new file to see if its tied to the file, restarting everything, turning off other apps (or dont start them in the first plasse).

I just cleared the cache again with the key combination and noticed that this seems to fix the problem for some time. This time it was about an hour.

Anyone?

[#6]

Yup. Same here, and it's also driving me insane. Can't believe this bug has been around for two months at least, and it hasn't been fixed yet.

I just upgraded InDesign today and the bug remains. It's driving me nuts!

Hi All,

We have launched InDesign v15.1.2

We'd appreciate if you can update your app to the latest version and share if you still have these issues.

Regards,

Nope.. sadly not.

It worked for about 1 day after the update but just a moment ago it switched back to killing me.
