BUG? Random grey bars on screen in ID CC
I'm trying out ID CC and opened an ID C6 file to test. There are grey bars that appear randomly on screen. Not in fit in window view but in any other view when zoomed. Please see attached screen shot of the grey bars.
I'm using a 13" MacBook Pro (2017) with 16GB RAM. Under preferences, Display Performance is set to default and CPU Performance shows Compatible CPU and Monitor Detected.
How to resolve this?

Live preview for alignment when using spaces
There is an option to specify the size of the space between objects when aligning an object. It would be fine if there was also an option to check preview.

Selectable Document Font Folder
I've been waiting for a long time for the Document-font folder to be out of sync with the Indesign document. One should be able to determine the place itself.
If I have many Indesign Docs (in campaigns sometimes several hundred) I have to either install the fonts or just in any folder where an Indesign Doc is located in a document font folder.3 votes -
Type scaling
I'd like to see a type scaling feature added to paragraph styles. When the project allows it I prefer to set up a "body" style and then base most of my copy styles on this one. Currently I make different header styles proportionally larger but if I ever need to change my body copy size I have to go back and change all the other head styles to match. It would be nice to set body to 10pt for instance, then set head 1 to 150% and head 2 to 125%. This would make head 1 15pt in reality and…

Round corners should not be quarter circles connected with lines.
The eye will spot the connection points so these points need extra care.
Adobe should study how Apple shaved off these points on the icons in the iOS. System iOS 6 had the round-corner-fault but in iOS 7 the shape is much better.
I wish Adobe could give us tools to control the round corners, to shave off these connections points. Old Freehand had this feature. Please bring it back to Illustrator and InDesign.5 votes -
Fix the Error 0 issue (Can't Save Document)
Please fix the Error 0 issue! I've just worked for 6 hours tonight to just be told that it can't save the document - 6 HOURS WASTED! I'm getting hacked off with this as it's not the first time it's happened.

Dual Screen Modal Support
Dual Screen Modal Support.
It's frustrating that apps that are so frequently updated miss the blindingly obvious.
How about real dual screen support for your modal UI.
This is the case across Photoshop and Indesign (most likely, several other products).
In this screen capture - the cursor is selected on 'tint' on a second monitor (right hand side) slide lever is on a different monitor, on the left.
Pretty frustrating, what's the point of having dual monitors, if your software doesn't support such a basic fundamental.
Regards, Paul.

Timestamp for jobs in general
It would be cool if the Adobe programs could timestamp the work you do.
So that you could see how much time you use on a project.
There could be variables like if mouse movement and keyboard is inactive in x seconds, the time stops.
And even cooler if the jobs (ai, psd, indd) in a folder could be collected in an overall calculation of time used.
That way, you could tell the customer or your boss, that this jobs was done in 3 hours 32 minutes.4 votes -

InCopy Autoflowing Text takes forever (a long time)
i use InCopy as a notes app since 2015. the file i write on is now almost 5 mb big. and i noticed that over the years it takes longer and longer for incopy to open my document. and it is because of "Autoflowing Text" i do not even know what it is and i can't even google it. But it takes so long. what i have been doing over the years is that i just wait for it to finish. But now i am trying to find a setting in preferences to turn it off whatever it is so…

Add a blank to the font listing in the style menus
When you modify an existing style, there's no way to un-set the existing font except for reverting the whole style to blank. I'd like to be able to modify a style so that it no longer applies the font, without resetting the whole existing style.

Seamless editing between applications.
I want to be able to place a creative asset inside InDesign, then right click and choose "edit in Photoshop" or "edit in Illustrator", and any saved changes would reflect in the original InDesign document.
For example, I inserted an old PDF file into InDesign because it contains a logo which I do not have the vector file anymore then resized the image block to only show the logo and not the rest of the document. Now I want to create a new vector file of the logo in Illustrator, and it would save a lot of time and effort…

Illustrations should be movable anyway
Re: Images Anchored
Huge problem and fault of Indesign is the anchor feature.
The layout of anchored Illustrations can NOT be moved around freely on the page it is anchored on. If you try to move the graphic around ANYWAY on the page or the before it or the next page, the text is OBSCURED OR DESTROYED —the text is underneath the graphic. If you use the "inline" function the result is the same. The ability to move the "anchored" graphic anyway is very LIMITED. The TEXT should re-position itself around the image wherever it is moved.
Lets update the…
