You can also change them with a keyboard shortcut.

If the web designer tells me 'I need it to be 600x100 pixels', what is the best way to produce that in Indesign? Thanks so much, Pam Hello everyone:

Resetting the preferences works most, but not all, of the time, but is rather a pain, especially on those days when it happens every ten minutes! I have discovered that sometimes, but again not all of the time, selecting a different origin point on the proxy (top left of the control panel) will overcome this glitch.

It turns out it was a plugin that I had got. If you uninstall any 3rd party plugins that you have and see if that works. You might want to try resetting the preferences first though, by holding down CTRL (CMD) ALT SHIFT when launching InDesign. Of course when you do all this make sure you have the latest update.

Would love to hear from anyone who could help. I’m having the exact same problem and as yet cannot find a solution. Would love to hear from anyone who could help.

It happens intermittently to me where I click into a field and it highlights the content only for a millisecond before it deselects itself. If I'm fleet-fingered enough to get my new figure typed in while it is highlighted, it simply deselects and reverts to the original figure anyway!
