So if your documents ever have changes in them that you don’t recall making, it may not be coworkers playing jokes on you or your dog walking across your keyboard. For fun, I tried getting this behavior to work with some third party plugin panels, but it appears to only work in native InDesign panels. If you have some text selected and accidentally twirl or move your fingers while hovering over the font menu, your typeface will change! I tried to replicate these behaviors in CS6, and it appears just to be a CC feature. All I did was hover over them and start scrolling with the scroll wheel (or even with a two-fingered swipe on a Mac OS trackpad). Sounds cool, right? Well watch what can happen to a document without me ever having to click on any of the drop downs.
You can read the full list of fixes and improvements in InDesign 17.2 here.Prior to InDesign CC, drop downs in panel never changed without my knowledge.īut now apparently in InDesign CC there is a new feature that lets you interact with the dropdown menus without ever having to click on them. Other fixes include issues with endnotes and text variables.
Users have reported that it finally solves the long-standing problem of disappearing text on Mac computers with the M1 processor. To be fair, the news on 17.2 isn’t all bad. These will be wiped out when you roll back. Just be sure you have backups of all customizations you’ve applied, things like workspaces and especially scripts. You’ll see a list of available older versions you can install. Go to the Desktop Apps section and click on the ellipsis next to InDesign and choose Other Versions. You can install older versions of InDesign via the Creative Cloud Desktop App. Reportedly, rolling back to InDesign 17.1 solves both problems. You can also learn more and participate in the discussion about these bugs at the InDesignSecrets Facebook Group. These new bugs include the loss of the ability to place multi-page files and the inability to get InDesign to recognize certain active fonts that all other apps can see.īoth issues have been filed multiple times as bugs at the InDesign UserVoice site, where you can add your comment and vote for them to be fixed: If you’re thinking about updating InDesign to the March 2022 release (17.2), or have already run the update, you should be aware that users are reporting some significant new bugs.
