multiple display drop down issue
When using two displays extended vertically rather than horizontally (eg, Display 1 arranged to be above Display 2 rather than to the left or right of), if a dialog drop down is longer than can be fit on one of the displays and is positioned in screenspace such that it should spill onto the other display, it is cut off at the edge instead. Screenshot attached. Running latest OS X and latest InDesign CC. Only occurs in dialogs: parent window drop downs don't try to extend beyond the active display.

Cursor size in working area is huge InDesign CC 2018 Win
The ID cursor (black) when over the workspace is huge. It is normal size when hovering over the tool bars (white), but when you move over the workspace it is supersized. This occurs when working on an external monitor, but is scaled appropriately on HD Laptop Screen.

InDesign performance issue: Slow interface
The new document window is painfully slow. The pallets such as the background task pallet take some visible time to initialise themselves. As a whole the UI is always lagging.
I'm on a new iMac Pro and this is completely unacceptable. It feels as though the interface is getting in the way instead of making work easier.

Highlight/Colorize menu commands : changes retained temporarily , then disappear
Using the Edit > Menu Command to highlight/colorize frequently used commands. After spending a good deal of time setting this up, the menus only remain highlighted for a few minutes before the all highlighting disappears. Have repeated this exercise a few times, trashed preferences, always the same result.

Disappearing panels
Sometimes, when switching applications then back to InDesign, some of the panels are turned off. One that's particularly annoying is the Swatches panel. It doesn't always do it but when it does it's really annoying having to open it back up again.
Resetting InDesign preferences doesn't fix it.
This only seems to affect one Mac that's running El Capitan. We have others that are also on the same version of OS and same version of InDesign that don't do this.

Incorrect transparency redering on screen
When I open a document that has a drop shadow applied, the shadow papers misplaced and distorted. If I turn the drop shadow off and on again, it fixed the issue. Also if I open a document that has an Outer Glow applied, it appears too opaque and too large. It seems that if I apply an Outer Glow to to the Object effect , save and close the document and reopen, somehow an Outer Glow is also applied to the Text effect. Other similar issues as well.

Publish Online Incorrect German translation
Publish Online.
As reported in the forums:
In the "readerView" is a translation error in the "language-dropdown-content"
it should read "Deutsch" (without the "e" at the end)!!
"Deutsche" would be reffering to "several German people" not the German language. That is ALWAYS "Deutsch" only.
Looks weird for a "Deutsche" :-) Would be like reading "Englishes" as a language option...5 votes -

The book palette must be locked. (move the documents palette)
a momentary unwanted user error.
We should be able to move documents by option or command key.
To make a small correction before printing. We move accidentally while working on files. We do not notice this. It's printing like this.

cannot click through InDesign to desktop or other apps after using Mission Control's window exposé feature in macOS
It seems that after using Mission Control to thumbnail all open windows, InDesign no longer allows me to click onto other application windows that I can see underneath InDesign. So If I click on any window or desktop item visible, I get caught switching to InDesign, almost as though there's an invisible window still open and becoming activated. I can be in another app, try to click to my desktop, and it'll switch over to InDesign instead.
Currently using InDesign CC v 13.0.1
macOS 10.12.6If I quit InDesign and relaunch, it'll work again for a while. I think until…

Cannot Pan/Scroll with WACOM pen in Open/Save/Place file dialogue windows.
Cannot Pan/Scroll with Wacom pen in Open/Save/Place type file dialogue windows in mmany if not all of Adobe apps (where every other non-Adobe app I know of does, Apple and other 3rd parties), obviously this pertains to when you've mapped a Wacom pen button to pan/scroll to use in that manner (Wacom settings screen attached).
What should happen is being able to interact similar to touch omnidirectional swiping which includes vertical mouse-like scrolling when pressing the button and making contact with the pen, as would be expected and Wacom designed it to do.
What instead happens: Adobe apps interpret this…

InDesign CC 2018 Application frame will not fill screen
Hi Folks
Having an issue since InDesign 2018 with sizing the app window.
When in Application Frame mode, the frame will not expand horizontally to fill the screen — it will only expand vertically.
It expands normally up to about 80% of the screen width, but then becomes unresponsive to any attempt to make it wider - so I'm working in a dinky little workspace.
The app seems to think my display is narrower than it really is.
Windows expand normally when application frame is turned off, and return to the problem width when app frame is turned back on.

Caret symbol doubling in Index panel
InDesign v.13.01, Macintosh, client.
I'm listing the caret symbol in the Index but when I create an index entry for it, it appears on the Index panel as two carets (see attached). However, it shows up as a single caret in the generated index so the panel's where the problem is.

You have a blue bar that appears talking about endnotes, but it stretches past the edge of my screen and I can't make it go away.
I just want to be able to close bar so it isn't in my way
