It doesn’t take a genius to know that the when a new version of any software is released it’s just a matter of a short period of time until the bugs start getting reported. Most of the time these are minor annoyances and can be worked around. Additionally, those bugs are usually platform independent; Mac and Windows users get to suffer just the same with them. Not so, with this one, so Mac users can breathe a sigh of relief and stop reading right now.
If you’re on Windows and missing your tools (as in the screenshot below) or finding that InDesign is having other display issues, it’s quite likely that your computer is using a processor that doesn’t support SSE2. Among the effected processors is the AMD Athlon X. Adobe is aware of the issue and has released a knowledge base article but unfortunately right now there’s no fix for it.
The link to that Knowledge base article is provided here so that if you are suffering with this issue, you’ll be able to check for updates there.
