2. multiple versions of files from book open upon "converting"

   1. Opened book (.indb) file saved in previous version of InDesign.
   2. Double-clicked all the individual files to open them up in InDesign which is a new version (18.0 x64). A warning appeared saying the files will need to be converted if I renumber, etc.
   3. I used the book file to open all the files and immediately resaved them to update them.
   4. I made edits to one of the files from the book, and saved.
   5. Colleagues came on and I used the Book file to bounce between the different document files.
   6. To quickly save out all my changes, I simply close InDesign and say Yes, Overwrite as the prompts come up. This is when I noticed that it was taking too long for InDesign to close out. Turns out that when I had used the Book file to bounce between files, it didn't actually bounce but instead opened up a second version of the same files, without my edits! As I was closing/saving/overwriting, an older copy of my edited file overwrote my edited file because it had the same name! I lost half a day's work! InDesign book files should not be able to open two versions of the same file at the same time using the same name! Even Microsoft is smart enough to add a "(1)" at the end of a file name to avoid this problem. Please fix ASAP. See screenshots. Thank you.

3. Spinning Beach Ball appears every time I try to highlight text

   1. InDesign 18.0
   2. Seems just clicking with the Text Tool gets a spinning ball. Even worse if I try to highlight after clicking. 30-60 second wait. 3, Expect to highlight text as in the past.
   3. Once the ball stops spinning, maybe one character has been highlighted.

   Troubleshooting steps:

   Tried resetting preferences. No change.
   Checked for corrupted fonts and removed. No change. (I'm using fonts from TypeKit, which don't appear to be installed in FontBook.)
   Uninstalled InDesign. Shut down computer. Reinstalled InDesign.
   Checked for corrupted file. (Saved copy. No change. Saved to imdl. No change.)
   Tried opening file on different computer. Same issue on that computer.
   Tried switching from GPU to CPU. No change.

   Additional information. Primary computer is running MacOS 10.15.7 with 64 GB of RAM and Radeon RX 580 8 GB.

4. Page(s) in InDesign moving back and forth; Pasteboard not accessible

   InDesign 2023 v 18.0 Page(s) in a document will move back and forth, especially after CTRL Zero short cut key stroke is used. The movement is constant and doesn’t stop without changing the zoom percentage each time.
   In addition, InDesign is not allowing me to view work on something on the pasteboard. It moves the document back over and I can’t access the elements I was working on, on the pasteboard. I can change the View to “Entire Pasteboard”, but if I zoom in too far InDesign does the same thing… moves the document back over and I can’t access and work on the elements on the pasteboard.
   These issues are new in the last 10 days (for the moving back and forth), and in the last 3 days for the pasteboard issue.
   Perhaps these issues are related to zoom capabilities.

5. InDesign '23 interface is not dual-monitor friendly! I am running macOS Monterey 12.4 on a MacBook M1 Pro.

   Please update Adobe InDesign to be a more self-contained, movable workspace instead of anchoring the app to a single monitor (namely, my small laptop monitor). I am able to move tool windows and a file window over to my larger screen, but everything opens back on my laptop screen and I have to adjust all over again, unlike with Illustrator or Photoshop. It also maintains a dark gray 'background' over my laptop screen so it's VERY difficult to multitask. I noticed that this became an issue with a recent update PRIOR to the release of InDesign 2023. I am running macOS Monterey 12.4 on a MacBook M1 Pro. Thank you! :)

6. Menu/panel bugs

   Indesign 2022 v17.4 (up to date with latest version)
   Upon opening indesign, resetting menus and preferences, restarting, etc. Issues have been ongoing for at least a week.

   Align menu items are offset so that the ones at the bottom can't be used.
   Paragraph and character menu fields are offset, can't be selected or edited and randomly cause indesign to crash and close completely when clicked.

7. Pages navigation jumping two pages at a time

   I've got a strange bug on a 100 single pages document. Sometimes (twice this week) when I'm using the shortcut Fn-option-up/down arrow to jump to the next page, inDesign will jump 2 pages at a time.

   It will behave like this until I double click on a page in the pages panel.

   Weird and annoying, but not sure I can reproduce.

8. Indesign and Illustrator latest version unusable

   I’m very angry because the latest version of indesign (17.3) is virtually unusable. If I select an image or text box on a layout I get a spinning wheel for 10 - 15 seconds. If I try to move something - spinning wheel 10-15 seconds. Even Adobe Illustrator 26.4 behave this way.

   I downgraded to indesign 16.4.2 and Illustrator 25.4.6 because I cannot work this way. Previous versions did not behave this way on this same condition and computer.

   These are the comments to your workarounds:

   1. For many of the users the issue got fixed after updating InDesign to a newer version. NOTHING CHANGES.

   
2. For some, the issue got resolved after disabling a third-party application such as Suitecase fusion etc. NO THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS INSTALLED
.

   1. For few, the issue was intermittent and is no longer reproducible. INTERMITTENT, EVERY 5 MINUTES OCCURS
.

   2. For majority of the users, the underlying cause of the performance issue was identified to be related to span columns, cross-references, third party plugin etc. NO PLUGIN INSTALLED.

   iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020), MacOS Big Sur 11.6.7, 64Gb RAM, 1 SSD drive 2 TB, AMD Radeon Pro 5700 8 GB.

   Please don't tell me to upgrade to Apple last OS, I don't want to do it.

10. arbeitsbereich erweitert

    Hallo,

    leider habe ich im Indesign CC, aktuelle Version auf Win10 - 64 Bit, immer wieder das Problem dass Indesign beim Neustart bzw. Start einer bestehenden Indesign-Datei keinen Arbeitsbereich lädt.
    Wie kann eine Einstellung treffen dass der Arbeitsbereich (z.B. Erweitert) automatisch mit jedem Start von Indesign oder Öffnen einer bestehenden Indesign Datei geladen wird.

12. Persistent Spinning Beachball

    I am using InDesign 2022 v. 17.1. I get a spinning beachball that lasts for six seconds each time I click. Opening a file or switching between InDesign and another program results in a much longer beachball. Several minutes after the document is open, the beachball becomes permanent and the program becomes unresponsive.

13. Slow opening documents with links to a network drive letter that is not present

    InDesign 2022 – version 17.1 x64 running on Windows 10.

    1. Steps to reproduce the issues
       Prepare a document in this way:
       1a Create a new document.
       1b Place an image from a network letter, that you can disconnect (VPN).
       1c Save the document locally (the linked file should just be on the network).
       1d Close the document, and close the VPN connection.
       1e Open the document.

    2. I would expect the document to open within 5 seconds or so.

    3. It takes 18 to 20 seconds before the message about a missing link appears, and the document can open.

    (With the VPN connection up from the start, the document opens instantly).

14. Export and Package dialog window not working when menu items are colored

    Export and Package dialog window not working when menu items are colored.
    If you customize the Export or Package menu item by making it a color under Edit-> Menus... , the dialogs that open contain drop-down menus that are not editable. You can't pick the PDF preset or the format for the packaged document. This can be replicated across different MacOS operation systems and hardware configurations. If you remove the color from the menu items the functionality returns.

17. Font list scrolling performance is laggy even on loaded M1 Max laptop

    When slowly scrolling through my font list with a text box active on the page, the scrolling is laggy. It halts regularly.
    When scrolling fast, there is no problem.

    I guess the slowness has to do with the preview function when text is active.

    Preferred solutions would be
    1) better performance
    2) only preview when you click the font or
    3) provide a setting to turn previewing on the page off.
    
    I don't have an extreme number of fonts, and I use FontExplorerX to manage my fonts.
    I would expect this to be a fluent experience on a 32Gb RAM M1 Max 16 core laptop. Thanks for a fix.

19. Data marge help page QR code section needs visual help

    I'm not doing QR codes daily, only on some jobs and some trainings. SO I often refer to the right help page.

    Where the image field section is precise, and adds visuals of the table itself :

    "Add image fields in the data source file
    (…)
    At the beginning of the data field name, type an “at” symbol (@) to insert text or paths that refer to image files.
    The @ symbol is required only in the first line; subsequent lines should include the image paths. Paths, which are case-sensitive, must follow the naming conventions of the operating system in which they’re stored."

    The QR Code section gives only little information AND only mentions ONCE the required # sign (which I never remember)

    "Though the data entries can be a mix of email, sms, hyperlink, or plain text type. Enter them in the .csv and txt field in the above mentioned format with a # sign on their column name. To generate QR codes, follow these instructions"

    Go spot that when in a hurry.

    PLUS the data merge panel preview only shows text and images icons, It would really benefit from adding one QR Code line example AND mention those @ and # signs in this section or prerequisite sections.

20. Text boxes only showing the line I'm editing and not the entire paragraph

    Not an idea. a bug.

    Come on guys this is basic stuff - can barely layout info like this.

    This is constantly happening. I'm on the latest everything. M1 MacBook Pro.

    I have to zoom in and zoom out to fix. This is unworkable. Just get the basics right guys... Adobe is impossible for reasons like this. If you can't get the basics right - don't bother developing new features. No wonder Apple think you develop below par software. This is your job to develop software that works. Not have arsed software that can barely do the basics. Don't release a 1000 new features when you can't even get the basics right. Two more months and I leave Adobe for good.

    Plus your feedback form is just ****! look at apples feedback form. Simple! No wonder you make it difficult to feedback - because you probably get constant complaints. Idiotic software!
