18.1 Workspace resets to 'essentials'
I'm working with Indesign 18.1 (issue also has occured with other older versions).
My custom workspace utilizes a two-screen setup, one screen for the actual layout and the other screen for all the menus/palettes etc.
Everytime I close out of a document and reopen a new document, the custom workspace resets from my custom workspace to a generic one-screen workspace. In previous versions, that reverted workspace was 'essentials' but with 1.81 it seems to be a partially custom / nondescript workspace....most likely because I went and deleted the 'essentials' workspace here:
/Applications/Adobe InDesign 2023/Presets/InDesign_Workspaces

Macbook Pro Notch Cuts Into Fullscreen View
- InDesign version 17.0.1 on MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021)
- Previewing a document in Full Screen (Shift + W) and returning to normal view (Shift + W or ESC).
- Document should be displayed below the notch, like other full screen applications do. When returning to normal view, the InDesign window should be the same size as before full screen view.
- The notch of the new MacBook Pro (2021) cuts into the preview. When returning to non-full screen view, the InDesign window is pushed down / resized so that the status bar is not visible.

[ID-4239165]InDesign fails to open or place files with long paths in Windows
InDesign fails to open or place files with long paths in Windows. The "Long Paths Enabled" registry setting is enabled (i.e. it is set to 1). The problem affects several functions:
From Bridge, Place > In Indesign causes "Script Alert: Error: Expected a reference to an existing File/Folder"
DataMerge in InDesign: images with long paths are skipped, i.e. aren't merged. There is no error message.
From InDesign. I cannot manually place a file with a long path through the “Place” dialog box. The dialog box will display the folder and thumbnails, but when I click the image to place it,…

Files change to 'Read Only' when I click on 'Save'
When I have updated to 16.2.1 x64 of InDesign I am experiencing an issue where files are becoming 'read only' once I have clicked save manually. I then have to re-save the document as a new filename and then go back and delete the original. It is happening when I am using Dropbox. I have experienced this using Dropbox at home and in work and has only started to happen once I have clicked 'save' manually with the latest version of InDesign

InDesign does not remember window size and position
When opening a document, InDesign should remember the window size and position when it was closed. Illustrator does this, Photoshop does, this BUT NOT INDESIGN!! Why? Please fix it.

Disable cross-references
InDesign is far too slow when you have too many cross-references in a single document - and by too many I mean not many at all (I have 30 in one of mine, and the document grinds to a halt all the time). Whilst opening every single document that is references helps a bit, this is far from a satisfactory solution. At a minimum it should be possible to disable cross-references whenever you want, to avoid the performance hit. It would also be a good idea to fix the cross-references issue completely, so that cross-references are not constantly being updated…

Table borders, strokes, artifacted in InDesign problem
InDesign ver. 16.1 (2021): Table borders and strokes created on a separate layer and artifacted in InDesign are not tagged as artifacts when converted to PDF.
Close to a hundred "Path Object" errors flagged by the PAC 3 Accessibility Checker which we are required to use. The problem is none of these borders and strokes can be accessed in Acrobat with the Reading Order tool and therefore cannot be marqueed as artifacts. They are simply “not available” in Acrobat, yet PAC 3 flags them as “Path Object Not Tagged” errors.

Share for Review from InDesign Book 'artifact' error
When I try to share chapters from a book for review the Share for Review either doesn't function beyond clicking the 'Share for Review' 'Create New Review' or populates the details with the wrong file name and then fails to proceed (giving an 'artefact' error.
I solved it by doing the chapters one at a time with no other chapters open and the InDesign Book closed - but it took me a few hours to work this out.
Even when doing the chapters separately their Title Field of the Share for Review document is sometimes the previous document's name and…

Publish online doesn't work properly in chrome browser on new mobile devices (android)
Hi there,
We have published an interactive document with Indesign "publish online" feature. It works flawlessly in every browser, except in Chrome on some new mobiles phones with Android (not possible to go back or forward through pages or zoom). On the contrary, Interactivity and videos work properly.
We have the last indesign version (2021. Creative suite)
What's the problem?
Thanks in advance8 votes
