Adobe InDesign Undo Failure

Several posters on Adobe's discussion boards are reporting problems using the "undo" command in the latest release of InDesign. One user writes:

"After trying to synchronize documents, InDesign got stuck and I had to force close the program. Ever since the 'Undo' function doesn't work reliably (every once in a while it works). Sometimes I just can't select it and sometimes it comes up as Undo Synchronize pages (when the last thing I did was delete something I want back). If I select Undo Synchronize Pages it goes into period of thinking that continues on and on until I finally force the program closed. I tried renaming and resaving all the files, but nothing is restoring the Undo."

UPDATE: Ron Pfister reports that using Apple's Disk Utility to repair permissions may resolve the Adobe InDesign Undo bug on some systems:

"A client of mine has just had the InDesign Undo problem under Mac OS X 10.2.1, and running Repair Disk Permissions in the First Aid tab of Apple's Disk Utility solved it."
