Bonjour,
mon équipe et moi même rencontrons souvent ce genre de problème d'affichage lorsque nous passons d'un mode à l'autre (touche W)... peu importe le document qu'il soit long ou non, complexe ou non...
est ce normal ?

Tab key to navigate through text fields only
In dialog boxes, pressing the tab key should only navigate between text fields. It used to do this. Now it navigates through every field, button and popup menu. There is a system keyboard setting that regulates this. InDesign now ignores this setting.
For example, in the New Document box, press the tab key repeatedly and it goes:
Facing Pages > Start Page # > Primary Text Frame > Page Size > Width ...and so on.
It should only go:
Start Page # > Width ...all those other buttons etc should be skipped.

zoom in/zoom out functionality on the Add Bullets dialogue box
Please, PLEASE can the next version of InDesign offer zoom in/zoom out functionality (the same as you see bottom-right of the Glyphs panel) to the Add Bullets dialogue box.
Currently, the scrolling area where you can select a bullet character is so small, less than 4% of the screen on my monitor, with no way to zoom in. (see attached screenshot)
Paragraph Style Options > Bullets and Numbering > Bullet Character Section > Add...

Hebrew diacritics in Indesign
It would be great if I could select a Hebrew vowel or a cantillation (trope) mark in liturgical texts and shift it vertically or horizontally. Currently in 16.3.2 Mac. I can select the marks blind, as it were, but they don't highlight and can't be shifted. The solution I've found is extreme kerning with the neighbouring consonant.

Lock anchored object(s)
When creating a complex text box with anchored objects used as decoration, it'd be great to be able to "lock" the anchored object(s) in a way that selecting all text and pasting other text wouldn't delete the anchored object(s).
We have a "Prevent Manual Positioning" checkbox, it could be a similar "Prevent Special Character Deletion", so the anchored object(s) are locked and safe unless it is unchecked.
Would that be possible?

How to release an IP address on a Mac?
To release and renew your IP address in Mac OS X, you’ll use the Network system preferences to renew the DHCP Lease.
- Click the Apple button and choose System Preferences.
- Choose the Network icon.
- Select your method of connecting to the internet. In most cases it will either be Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
- Click Advanced.
- If you selected Ethernet, you should already be in the TCP/IP tab heading. If you aren’t, or if you selected Wi-Fi, click the TCP/IP tab heading.
- Click Renew DHCP Lease.
- Click OK to exit the Advanced window, and then exit System Preferences.
A restart may be…

Adjust Leading Between Bullet Points
It is super time consuming to adjust the leading between bullet points every time manually. If we could set it in the paragraph style that would be so much faster. Went mad researching online but apparently there is no way to resolve this.

Crop Marks
I would like the crop marks to be cross hair style so when you cut one side you still have a mark to tell you where to cut the other. Right now once you cut one side the crop mark is completely cut off so you then have to measure where the next cut should be.

Please add support for natively placing HEIC format images in Indesign.
I'm sure it's already in the works, but please add support for natively placing HEIC format images in Indesign. And how about webp images while you're at it? :)

Add preflight flags for specific paragraph and character styles
The preflight panel is quite powerful and useful. I think it could be improved by adding the ability to flag specific font styles. For example, when working on a document, I use a character style to add highlight to text in need of revision. If the preflight panel could flag the text with that style applied, it would be easier to locate the items needing revision.

Disable support for authoring with Type 1 fonts
I would like to request a solution to the problem with disable support for authoring with Type 1 fonts in January 2023 - https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/kb/postscript-type-1-fonts-end-of-support.html
Our problem is that the company has thousands of indd documents that will reflect the change. All documents use the two complete font families and a few other fonts, but unfortunately even uploading new paragraph and text styles does not solve the persistent problem with some missing fonts.
What would we need?A tool to preset that, for example, the missing font Frutiger CE 65 Bold will always and in every document be automatically replaced by Frutiger…3 votes -

Pantone libraries for color bridge CMYK formulas do not match the published Pantone formulas.
InDesign team advised Adobe has their own conversion. That's unacceptable. Designers need the confidence that the color libraries are in fact what they are called in CS. Any time a project goes to press and does not meet expectations, a printer can simply say - those colors are not the correct pantones and leave the designer holding the bag. Yes we can manually enter the correct values. But, unless designers experience a project go wrong, they're probably trusting Adobe libraries to be what they're called in CS. Adobe needs to update the libraries, or delete them, or simply call them…
