getting "cannot handle the request because a modal dialog or alert is active," but can't find modal window

I'm using InDesign CC 2018 and am trying to open 7 files by dragging them to the InDesign icon. It opens 6 of them and then I get the "cannot handle the request because a modal dialog or alert is active" pop-up. The problem is that I can't find a modal window, so I can't close it.

I know that's vague but that's exactly what's happening. I'm on a 2017 iMac running High Sierra.

Thanks,

Lloyd

Thanks for the reply. I force quit InDesign and haven't had the problem since.

Hi Lloyd,

Sorry about this. Could you please confirm what happens if you open all seven files one by one?

Regards,

Srishti
