I'm hoping it'll get fixed someday. I’m not sure if it’s a “glitch,” but it’s certainly incredibly annoying. I’m hoping it’ll get fixed someday.

I just checked this out on my Windows XP system and Ctrl+H hides frame edges, but I don't seem to have something that hides the Apps. (Not that it bothers me! :) ) Is the Ctrl+H a Mac only thing?

Fascinating. I wonder if it's a "bug" or perhaps some other system preference that you're running. I just did some searching online, but haven’t found any way to gray out those options. Fascinating.

Running CS3 with OS X 10.4.9. But, I just noticed that Hide InDesign (or any other app) and Hide Others are both grayed out in all applications and therefore not accessible from any app. Very Strange. Very Strange indeed.

I can't imagine how you're doing that. When I type Command-H in CS3 (os 10.4), it always hides the whole application, so I never get the chance to press Assign.

When I enter command-H, I get the note that command-H is unassigned. I click the assign button, delete the old shortcut, and all is well.
