1. Object Styles within Object Style Groups cannot be set to Document.pageItemDefaults (Scripting)

   See this thread in community forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/script-cannot-set-an-object-style-as-a-default-frame-style-if-this-style-is-inside-a-folder/td-p/13062809

   If an object style is within a group, it cannot be assigned as the appliedTextObjectStyle in Document.pageItemDefaults. Have not checked whether the same is true for appliedGraphicObjectStyle

3. appliedLanguage property of text-related objects returns language from application, not document

   When I do configuration for a language in a document, such as setting doubleQuotes, this language can be found in the document object's list of languages and has a different id than the language with the same name in the application object's list.

   But when I access text inside the document – regardless what I inspect, paragraph, words, character, textStyleRange – I expect to get the language properties as set in the document, but instead I get those as set in the app.

   I believe this to be a software bug.

   More information as well as a workaround can be found in https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/paragraph-appliedlanguage-seems-to-differ-from-the-actual-applied-language/m-p/12997100#U12991700

4. Can't Click/Drag Large Area of Main Title Bar

   This was introduced in 17.0 and I was hoping it would be fixed by 17.3 but it hasn't been addressed.

   Large areas of the title bar can't be clicked on/interacted with so one can't drag/move the main program window.

   I'd say about 50% of the title bar is like this.

5. Khmer Line-Breaking Regression Bug

   While much has been fixed, the current version of InDesign 2022 still line-breaks Khmer words/punctuation incorrectly (this used to work in InDesign 5.5 but has been broken since CS 6).

   Here are some sample words/puncuation that break incorrectly (many are names):
   យេស៊ូវ
   អ៊‌ីស្រាអែល
   គ្រីស្ទ
   «...ទោះ
   ជាម្ចាស់
   អាន់ទីយ៉ូក
   ៗ (this should stay with the previous word not break on to its own line)
   អា​កំណា
   គ្រី‌ស្ទបរិស័ទ
   បន្សុស
   ខគម្ពីរ
   បូគោ
   ... (should stay together and stay with previous word like in English)
   បូគោ
   ឰយុកោ

   Easiest way to fix this is don't break a line unless there is a zero-width space (U+200B) or a real space.

   Thanks!

6. 72 DPI images not placing at 100%, scaling to 216 DPI

   This has apparently been a discussion since at least 2019 and has not yet found a solution:

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/jpg-not-placing-at-proper-dimensions/m-p/12933878/page/3#M476611

   When placing certain jpg images saved to 72 DPI, In Design frequently places them at 1/3 actual size, or down to 216 DPI. This is including if the ID document's increments/document size are set to pixels. It seems most common with jpgs saved in a standard "Save As" format from Photoshop vs. the legacy "Save for Web."

   1. Versions 14.02 to 17.1 - Edit - issue continues after update to 17.2.1.
   2. Steps to reproduce: place a jpg image saved to 72 dpi resolution
   3. Expected result - image is placed at 100% scale like other images
   4. Actual result - image is placed at 33.33% scale
   5. See images attached. These are identically sized - the one that was saved using the outdated legacy Save for Web option on Photoshop came in at 100% scale or 72 DPI. The image saved in a more standard Save As format from Photoshop comes in at 33.33% scale or 216 DPI. Export option from Photoshop yields the same result. Have also noticed this scaling issue with images provided to me from non-Photoshop sources.

   Occasionally it loads it in at 50% scale instead of 33.33%, too.

8. Linked Images Disappearing/ InDesign Files Opening as Read-Only

   Good morning!

   After my computer updated to Monterey 12.3.1, the linked images in InDesign files (indd) turn black or static or with colored stripes like bad reception on an old TV. The link panel did not show a broken link but I had to manually relink all the files. I've tried reinstalling InDesign and going back to an earlier version of InDesign. All to no avail.

   A second problem that occurred is that InDesign files would only open as read only. When I tried to resave it said that someone had them checked out or I didn't have permissions to the file. I am not working off a server, but I am working off an external hard drive. I checked the permissions on the folders and everything is set read/write for me.

   I'm stumped. :) I'm working on M1 iMac, OS 12.3.1 and InDesign 17.2.1

9. InDesign 2022 PDF Export Failure with macOS Monterey

   Since updating to macOS Monterey v. 12.3.1, InDesign (V 17.2) will frequently fail to export a PDF to a data server. I will attempt to export, and it will fail, but when I export to the downloads folder, it works just fine. That issue also extends to when I create an imposed job using the plug-in HP SmartStream. The temporary file will load on the server, but once SmartStream completes, it will disappear. Exporting to the downloads folder works for that too. There's no rhyme or reason as to when it happens, and I never had this issue before updating to Monterey (I was on Catalina for a long time).

10. OCR F font is no longer displayed

    InDesign 17.2

    Since I upgraded to InDesign 17.2, the OCR F font is no longer displayed. The font runs perfectly on Illustrator and other programmes.
    I have cleared the font cache, reinstalled InDesign and re-downloaded and reinstalled the font from Lynotype.
    This font simply does not seem to exist for InDesign!

11. .TTF and .OTF font display/loading BUG InDesign 17.2

    Fonts that used to load fine in InDesign appear missing even though they are installed and work in other apps like Illustrator or even Word.

    Specifically this is occurring with a font that has unique glyphs: Noto Sans - Canadian Aboriginal Regular.TTF this has also been tested with a conversion to .OTF with the same result and this error has been confirmed across multiple devices.

13. switching between open files

14. Cannot click top MacOS Menu Bar with Indesign running

    With Indesign 17 running, top menu bar on MacOS Monterey is unclickable (Apple menu onwards - e.g. File, Edit etc). Sometimes releasing the mouse makes the dropdown menu appear - but can't click on items - or the menu next to the one wanted appears). Quitting InDesgn restores the top menu to normal functions for other Apps.

17. InDesign crashes when formatting footnotes

    Formatting footnotes using InDesign 2022 v 17.1 causes severe lag and eventually the program seizes up and must be ended through task manager. Full details here:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-crashes-when-formatting-footnotes/m-p/12712546#M463355

    The resolution to the issue was to roll back InDesign to 16.4.1, no such problems with that.

    Sample files that caused the crash are here:

18. On master page spread, items get applied to the wrong page

    Say I have a two-page master, with facing pages turned on.
    And say I have a rectangle spanning the top edge of my left page, and say the right page is empty.

    When I apply this master to a right sided page (thus using only the right side master), the left rectangle will be rendered onto the left page, even though it shouldn't (as the rectangle belongs to the left handed master, which isn't applied).

    This happens when the rectangle is touching the spine, and it's probably rendered by indesign as being part of the right master.
    This happens even when the reference point of the rectangle is changed to be on the far side (with regard to the spine).

    This is usually fixed by moving the rectangle a point away from the spine, but from searching online it seems like it doesn't always fix it. Moreover, this "fix" is still bad and serves as a bad-practice patch.

    This appears to exist for a few years now, and all the answers to this topic are "we released an update", that obviously didn't solve the problem.

    Thanks!

19. multiple files not placing correctly when multi-page pdf is present

    when placing multiple PDF files, after placing a multi-page PDF, the next file in sequence is skipped.

    InDesign v 17.0.1

    to reproduce:
    - open place dialogue and select multiple files from same folder (with options)
    - apply options for 'all' pages
    - place the sequence

    We would expect all pages of all files to place.

    Instead, some files are not placed but remain in the links window without a selectable link on the page.

    In the screenshot you can see that after each multi-page PDF the following file is not loaded into the placegun.
