InDesign problem with entering info in windows (& tabbing through)

[StewPaling]

Since the 2017 upgrade, my colleagues and I have experienced a regular issue where we cannot input data/info into opened windows (ie paragraph attributes). This is an intermittent fault which occurs on 50% of attempts, and even tabbing through the fields doesn't guarantee a satisfactory result. Was hoping this would be fixed in an update, but no sign of it so far.

Thanks.

Known bug on Mac, discussed numerous times already. Do a search, please.

You're welcome.

Well, while mods didn't lock this thread yet

Try this:

1. Turn on "Application Frame" under menu "Window".

and / or

2. Navigate to Preference -> Advance Type -> Type Contextual controls and uncheck it.

Thanks very much for that, on first impressions it appears to have worked. I did use the search facility originally, but it threw up a load of unrelated threads. Will try to be more specific next time.

Thanks again for your help.
