    Not an InDesign topic per se but could be useful: I work with two monitors and the dock, at the bottom of my left monitor by default, keeps switching randomly to the right one and none of the old tricks seemed to bring it back unless I do a restart (Sonoma 14.7.1). Just found a quicker way: Control-Click on the vertical bar near the right end of the dock -> Position on Screen -> Left, then repeat the process but choose Bottom.

    Good one, Linda! In many Mac apps, you can also hover the cursor over the green dot in the upper-left corner… that opens a little menu that lets you assign a window to a display. However, it does not appear to work in Adobe apps that I’ve tried.

    One other thing: I don’t know why, but InDesign often resizes its window to fill the screen… which is sometimes what I want, but sometimes not! I have an app/utility that resizes windows for me to specific sizes (such as “left side of monitor”), but after I use it, InDesign resets itself to fill the screen. Really annoying. But if I resize using the utility and then change the size of the window manually by dragging a corner or edge, even just a few pixels, then InDesign will remember it.

    I have the same problem from time to time. Now I found this:

    Go to Apple menu > System Settings from the menu bar and select Desktop & Dock in the sidebar. Then, uncheck Displays have separate Spaces under Mission Control. For this change to apply, log out and back in.

    Let’s see if it helps.

    Thanks DIeter, I just followed your suggestion. Let’s see if that takes care of the problem…
