Remember last selected section in Preferences
Remember the last selected section in the Preferences window.
For example, if I selected File Handling then clicked OK in the Preferences window, File Handling should be selected the next time I open Preferences.
Right now it always defaults to General. While in many cases I want to use the last preferences section I used before when I open the Preferences window.

Scroll while editing Paragraph, Character, or Object style
I usually have "Preview" checked while I'm editing a style to see how my changes affect the paragraph and everything surrounding it. The Style Options window is often blocking much of my view, even if I move it to the side, so I have to hit OK or Cancel, scroll so I can see everything, and then go back into editing the style. It would be useful if I could scroll while the Style Options window is open, much like I can while the Find/Change window is open.

Arrange pages panel
Being able to drag pages around in the Pages window is fine, but it's incredibly clunky and slow. It's very easy to make mistakes when you can only see 3 minuscule pages at once in the window. Would it be possible to make a new type of window with a grid layout of all your pages, where you can easily select multiple pages and drag pages around?
Also, as others have mentioned, please implement page folders!! That would be so useful.

Hyperlinks checked by default option
The problem: I have a document. I go to Files --> Export as PDF --> In this window I can check the box saying "Hyperlinks". It's always unchecked. I want it to ALWAYS be checked by default.

Align Stroke to Outside option by default
For me the default Stroke Alignment setting should be Outside. I am always using boxes and frequently need to change the stroke widths. Since the default setting is Center alignment, this resizes the box, which I can't imagine anyone ever wanting. There doesn't seem to be any way to change the default stroke alignment to Outside, so I am constantly having to change this in the Stroke window. Which means we must have the Stroke window open simply because we cannot set the Outside as default. InDesign 19.2, Mac Ventura.

Open a new file and see the full page upon opening
When you open a document, the upper left corner should appear in the upper left corner of the window. Then you won't have to scroll to see the page. Currently it opens on the pasteboard with the upper left corner in the middle of the window so it's mostly hidden.
So annoying. I hope you can fix it.

Calendar Wizard!
So this is a cry for help! I've been using the Calendar Wizard script but when I go to populate the calendar, I'm unable to access some controls because the window that pops up does not give me access to the options at the bottom (save, etc). I can expand the screen to full-size and the options do not appear. I even had my computer service remote-in and look and they said it's likely a programming error. Can anyone help?
This last time I used it, I manually added 4 custom calendars and the window re-tiled to the right and…

Make Save as line scalable
When you scale Save as dialog, the file name line did not grow. It's only a few letters wide. When you replace file or make another with slitgly changed name you must scroll to end of file name even the name fits to window if the line is wider.

Search in a text selection won't show
It's really annoying that I select some text and I want to Find/Replace something in that selected text and I can't do that within the Find/Replace window. Is this a bug or is there another reason why I can't do this?

1 button to center both vertical and horiz
There is plenty of ways to move a object around but why do you not include 1 that centers the object? That way you save a step by not hitting the horiz center and the the vertical center. You can add it to the layout window

Dropbox missing links error
If links are not available (because they are only online in the dropbox), please provide 1 error message. And not a window that must be clicked for each individual image.
If you have to search older (archive) Indesign files (with hundreds of links), you will be endlessly bombarded with: "Error encountered while reading TIFF image. Image may be damaged or incompatible..."

Break link to imported text or table
Option to create links when placing text or spredsheet files is great, but usually at the last moment it would be very handy to be able to completely brake link to one or more word etc documents even if they are missing. Best way would be able to sort all by document types on link window, select them and then break links. No embed etc. Just break it comletely.

Change page size not only centered, but for example add 2 cm to the right side only
It would be super handy if the size could be changed at any direction as easily as with the anchors in "Canvas size" in Photoshop. I know it is possible with the Page Tool, but I would love for it to be "in the right place", i.e. in the Page setup window.

Easier Workspace Profile Overwriting
When updating a custom workspace (via Window > Workspace), it would be helpful to have a direct option to overwrite an existing saved workspace—rather than requiring users to select “New Workspace…” and retype the same name manually to replace it.

shortcut for paragraph single-line composer
I use single-line composer all the time, to control text into spaces. But every time I have to manually change a paragraph in the paragraph window, dropdown, select.... I'd love a shortcut for this (have tried allocating one but can't)

Don't automatically change view/zoom when editing layer visibility of linked graphics
Editing the layer visibility of a linked graphic in InDesign causes the zoom level to be automatically adjusted to fit-to-page. This makes it difficult to see the preview image for small graphics that may be hard to see at the full page zoom level.
If any automatic zoom adjustment is to be made at all (which it should not) it should be to fit the graphic to the window so you can see what you are doing.

When you issue a new version of ANY Adobe package keep the help text in synch
It is a poor indicator of an organisations ability to manager Quality Control in it's software when it allows the hep text to fall behind the release cycle. Using the most recent version of CC Indesign, the Help text suggests that I am able to add a new page by using the pages panel. It further goes in to say that if it is NOT visible it will be in the Window menu. When I check the menu there is no such facility.

flickering
InDesign flickers white and all artwork/text disappears. I have to reposition my window to make it reappear. It keeps happening every few minutes. I have completely removed all Adobe CC products and reinstalled, as well as deleted my preferences and work spaces. Please help.
