Hyperlink shifts when replacing preceding characters
If I replace a character in front of a hyperlink with multiple characters using Find/Change, the hyperlink shifts.
(See screeshot: before and after)
If only one character is replaced, no shift occurs. Tested with InDesign CS6, 2020 and 2021, MacOS.
Here you can find a test document:

Variable Fonts: Align Stroke to Center shows overlaps
When using variable fonts, the Align Stroke to Center shows the overlaps in letters with live text (not good). If I use Align Stroke to Outside the overlaps arenʻt shown with live text (good) but once I use Type > Create Outlines the overlaps are shown (not good).
This happens in many variable fonts, for example Source Code VF Concept (see screenshot attached), but also true with my own variable fonts and those from other type foundries.
With the non-variable font version, the Stroke looks good in all settings mentioned here. The variable font version should look the same. Thank…

auto page numbering does not work with auto-size text box
The auto-sizing text box should resize depending on number and not the 'marker character'
I'm pretty sure it used to work that way.4 votes -
Adobe InDesign Server 2021 has stopped working
With some documents to be (automatically) processed by Indesign Server, InDesign Server stops working - and we get the Windows message "Adobe InDesign Server 2021 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program".
As after a while our automatic system is picking up the same (possibly questionable) document again, we end up with a system where all InDesign Server instances are hanging, and no further processing happens (until a human being goes to the server and clicks the messages away).
The issue here is not that the possibly questionable document cannot be…

Unreliable color management with object layer options
(Indesign-Version 16.2)
Hello. I've already posted in the Community and we think, it's a bug in Indesign. This was the description of my post:
The problem is: When I use Object > Object Layer Options to show and hide layers in a .psd file, I have had the problem that the color management isn‘t working reliably.
Sometimes, the ICC profile „Document RGB“ is displayed in the InDesign document by mistake, even though the linked image is using the ICC profile „sRGB“.
If I do the same with placing (File -> Place -> Show Import Options -> Layers), it works.
So…

turn off Touch workspace!
Can Adobe PLEASE stop making the Touch workspace compulsory every time the app launches. Not all users want this. We didn't ask Adobe to turn off our usual interface and replace it with a Touch version.
When we have to go through the mandatory 'hey this is new examples' EVERY TIME just to get into the app, only to have to turn it off by choosing "essentials" (top right) EVERY TIME we launch the app, it becomes a major pain.
Who on earth at Adobe throught this would be a good idea? Surely this is just a bug? Why isn't…

Command + N doesn't work for New Document
For some unknown reason CMD + N has stopped working as a shortcut for a new document. In the File menu, it says it's programmed as a shortcut, but it doesn't work. I reset the shortcut and it temporarily works. If I open INDD and reset the shortcut, then it'll work when I use it. But if I close INDD and then try Cmd +N, it won't work. I've reset it numerous times. I've lost count of how many times INDD has updated. And nothing fixes this problem.
Currently working on the latest version of INDD (16.1). This problem has…

find/change text missing search: selection
after making a selection, the Find/Change text dialog sometimes does not offer Selection in the Search dropdown. It will be present under GREP and Object, but not Text and Glyph. Closing/reopening Find/Change does not fix it. Restarting InDesign usually fixes it...until it goes missing again.
