Ah, OK. At least I know it's not me. Thanks for the reply Leo.

I've noticed something. Objects don't appear selected until you move your cursor away from the object. It might be a new preference to hide bounding box. It's very annoying.

Googled the same problem, ended up here. It takes 3-4 seconds to select basic objects with an Apple Silicon Max chip. Rendering your flagship product useless. What in the actual Adobe.

Yes, I only use a Browser. I seldom use the Creative Cloud App, which seems pointless to me.

I decided to cancel my subscription plan and get a refund. I wasn't using it enough. I didn't cancel it earlier because they threatened to wipe my credits and assets and charge me a cancellation fee. I had to complain bitterly to get any compensation. It isn't amicable, and Adobe's pricing structure isn't great for freelancers. Disappointing.

No joy, sadly. You can only select one at a time, and it opens a preview. I'd cancel it, but it's holding hundreds of my credits hostage and asking for £££ for the privilege of doing so. I have no idea how that is legal. It's an actual robbery.

How do I stop this from popping up whenever I want to delete an item from a Library?
Can you bulk-select items for deletion in the web app, or can you only do this in the abomination that is the Creative Cloud app? That somehow has a different functionality from the actual Adobe stock website.
P.S. Why are Adobe so expensive and terrible at the same time?

Yikes. Why doesn't it default to copy the correct angle when eye-dropped or selected? That seems wrong. Anyway, to get the angle I set in my gradient, I can hold down alt when selecting the swatch. That works. Thank you.

I can't drag the gradient object I want to copy into the Graphic Styles Panel either. I've no idea why.

I changed the fills to solid and made some test gradients. When I eye-dropped them, it copied the gradient but not the correct angle. At least it put the bounds on the canvas this time, so it fixed that. Is there a key command to make sure you also copy the correct angle?

Yes, it was all created in the file. I used the line tool and then outlined paths. The file was filled with gradients from my swatches. I'll try a solid fill and eye dropping some test versions of the gradients. Thanks.

Yes, the gradients are all swatches. Nothing looks untoward, all within the confines of the settings. It's odd. I'll take a look at that plugin; thanks.

Hello, I have a large number of individual outlined paths with gradients in them. When I want to Edit the Gradient, the handles are miles off the canvas. It's a pain to edit. Is this a bug? What? Or can I force all the gradients to fit on the artboard in one action? I can't seem to be able to edit multiple gradients at once. Do I have to do this on every single path? Thanks, Will

I found it completely by accident... Command + Fn + ~ to cycle forward. Command + Shift + Fn + ~ to cycle backwards. It doesn't correspond with any of the documentation Adobe or Apple have, but I'll take it.

I disabled dictation and changed the function to another key for good measure, but it still doesn't work. I use a Macbook attached to an external monitor and an extended Mac keyboard. Pressing F6 show/hides the colour palette on both keyboards. Shift + F6 show/hides the appearance panel. Fn + F6 is the same. Pressing Command+ ~ still does nothing. I have no idea what's changed. It seems trivial, but it's a big part of my workflow. Do you think this is an Apple issue?

I used to be able to cycle through open documents by pressing Command + ~, but it no longer works. The new shortcut is Command + F6, but that doesn't work either. My F shortcuts are on in my Apple system prefs. Pressing F6 opens dictation. Does anybody know why or face a similar issue? Using the menu dropdown isn't very pleasant when you have 20+ files to sort through. Thanks, Will

Thanks for taking the time to look into Barb. My holy grail is single-threaded text boxes with all alignment controlled by styles. This makes it super easy to update and re-style spacing document-wide. It also guarantees an accurate column layout. My go-to for years has been to use return spaces (Space After) and soft returns to control the space between blocks of text, leaving the leading to do its thing. I have no idea why it won't work in this instance. No doubt it's something subtle I've missed. Thanks again, Will

That would be much appreciated, Barb. I'll send a link. I want to find a method to control paragraph spacing below uniformly. Hence, any Body/H3/H4 underneath has the exact horizontal alignment, regardless of Leading or Spans, ideally, in one paragraph style. Best, Will

Yes, that did something. I removed the Space After from the Indents and Spacing menu and added it to the Span setting. However, it's still uneven. All the para styles below are still at different heights. This is becoming a nightmare. I might have to resort to manually placed text frames. Totally defeats the point of using paragraph styles. What have they done to InDesign? It used to be all about setting paragraph-styles.

I found it. It's in Type > Story > Optical Margin Alignment. InDesign is eating itself with all these different places to do the same thing, some of which override the other. It's become far too complicated.

I wasn't, but I've just checked, and it's set to 0. Changing the value doesn't appear to affect the spacing here, either. I am baffled. I want to control it uniformly from a single paragraph style. That's it.

Hi Barb, Sorry, I'm still confused. None of those Baseline text frame settings gives me the control I want. It ignores the Space After value. Setting the Leading to auto doesn't seem to affect it. It's all over the place. How would I make sure I have exact uniform spacing below paragraphs? From a best practice point of view. I swear my paragraph-style method used to work perfectly previously.

Hi Barb, Thanks for the reply. I'm still confused. You can override paragraph styles with text frame properties? If so, where do I find that? I can't see anything on the text frame properties to set it to ignore the optical margin.

And can anyone explain why hanging punctuation no longer works?
I have a Pull-Quote style set to ignore the optical margin. It works in the first column but doesn't in the fourth.
No Overides. No idea why.

Hello, Does anybody know why an H1 paragraph style set to span all columns would give different Space After values for all styles underneath? Everything is set to ignore. All separate paragraph styles. No grid set. I've read the comments from others and followed the advice—still no worky. No idea. None of the styles has any spacing set to Above. My go-to way to set paragraph spacing no longer works. Help. It's deeply frustrating.

P.S. You were both right about the type sample not returning without hyphenation. Also an issue. One I think I can solve it by adding spacing between each character and styling the spacing. But that's another issue with this layout.

Hi Peter, The text frame is set up as four columns, as are the document margins. The issue (I'm pretty sure) is making sure that you have the right number of column breaks in the right places. It's very fiddly, but it will save time for something I would like to template for the future. template.

I did a blank test on a new file. I think I've figured it out. It was ignoring my column breaks. You need to set a span style on the title above the text. Otherwise, it doesn't work as intended. I still don't fully understand what it is trying to do, but this should get the job done. Thank you both for your help.
