CC2017 - typing in application bar screwed up

[rcoda1]

New iMac 27" 5k Retina with 4.0gHz, 512 GB SSD, 32GB RAM

InDesign 2017

When I type in my application bar (for instance, 1p3) and have text selected (several paragraphs), it won't let me type in the space allocated. Instead it types (and replaces) the text I have selected. I can only use the up/down buttons to input numbers. See attached for the area I am talking about in case I am calling it the wrong thing.

I can type numbers (e.g. 1p3) in the flyout panels on the right.

I just noticed this on my new iMac... haven't checked on my 2014 15" Macbook Pro yet.

Anyone else seen this yet? It's really starting to piss me off.

Please forgive the unnecessary extra frames... I took this over from someone less with less knowledge of INDD. I'm trying to bring the file up to my standards by getting rid of all the double returns, etc.

it also, a couple of times, typed backwards... for instance if I want to type 1p3 in, it types 31 (no p).

Do a search on the forum, this is asked and answered already many, many times: turn of Opentype adornment in the text preferences!

Thank you very much!
