Believe it or not: The strangest bug with InDesign captured on video

There’s a similar conversation going on in InDesign forum.

Was that you? Sorry, didn’t notice.

Ha! Johannes!

I am working on a new project now, and I was hit by exactly the same madness. I used a large source file –  customer's 200 pp document for print, dated 6 month ago. I created several files in new format using web intent. And I copied the content of print document into the new files (on page by page basis). I closed the original fiie. Yet, every now and then, whenever I click some elements on pages in one of the new files – the original file opens!

I have never seen anything like this before. Instead of reporting it here, I just zipped the hyperactive file;-)

Cheers,

Me too. Put it down to a bad doc but had the same symptoms as Tomek. Didn't matter where I clicked it would open the same doc?

I've had this twice as well, I think I copied a piece of content from an old indesign file into the new doc, and then everytine it was click on the old indesign file opened.

Very annoying, can't remember how I got rid of it, either by restarting indesign, or just deleting the content, any quite bizarre, has anyone told Adobe?

Same here, not hard to reproduce. From time to time it even loops and keeps opening the document. At that time I need to force quit the program and close xx number of restored documents.

At this moment a 'fix' is renaming the document it opens.
