Font names display inconsistently
This is a strange one: we use this font https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/lus (you have to put a 't' on the end of that url, Uservoice thinks it's rude, apparently) it's Regular and Display weights. On two computers this shows up as (syntax here is [Font Family] / [Font Style]) Lus(t) / Regular and Lus(t) Display / Regular, respectively. On three others they show up as Lus(t) / Regular and Lus(t) / Display and there seems to be no way to align them.
I've attached a screenshot of how the taskbar shows font on the machines that separate them out.
The first two…

Menu not appearing when clicking toolbar hamburger button
I got the problem that the menu that should appear when you click on an "hamburger" button in the top right corner of a toolbar doesn't appear.
This happens on a second screen when you got more than one screen/monitor, and the main screen has higher resolution than the second one. It also only happens to toolbars that are positioned near the bottom edge of the second screen and where the menu height is larger than the distance between the "hamburger" button and the bottom edge of the screen.2 votes -

UI Default Too **** Small!
UI in InDesign 15.0.1 is way too small by default and not scalable. Many users have been complaining about this for years, yet you guys refuse to do anything about it, while charging us up the wazzoo for subscription fees. If this is not addressed soon, we may all abandon you for Canva.

InDesign 2022 - Wrong Icons in Toolbar
It looks like the icons for selection and direct selection are flip-flipped in the toolbar.
Selection should be black, and direct select should be white.

My Adobe Indesign updated to 2022, but my User Interface font is very small and I can't increase the size. The choice to increase UI size is greyed out (see attached screen shot). Any ideas on the issue?

User Interface got large
The User interface got large and many commands in the control bar have been hidden even if I set it on Small in the preferences!
I can't get the small interface that was in the previous version.2 votesDid you open Preferences > User Interface Scaling and try to change the slider?
You’d need to restart InDesign to see the changes.—

"Selection" and "Direct Selection" tool icons mixed up in toolbar
The button images for "selection" and "direct selection" tools are mixed-up. The buttons are still in their correct place, but the "selection tool" button now displays the white arrow in the toolbar, the "direct selection" button the black arrow.
The mouse arrows themselves remain correct, as do their functions.
17 votesWe're happy to announce that we've reverted the icons of Selection Tool and Direct Selection Tool in the latest update of InDesign - version 17.2 that is available from Creative Cloud Desktop application.
Please update to this latest version to see the change of these tool icons.

menu size too small
The menu titles and every icon on indesign is far too small, could be that my laptop screen is high resolution so it thinks the screen is bigger than it is? it is frustratingly small.

Panel adjustment arrows do not stay, they just blink and gone.
Using 16.4 in Mac 11.6. Cannot slide panels in Application Frame mode. The arrows blink but go off quickly. If you're quick it works but not like it used to be.

Shift + Tab / Ctrl + Shift + Tab doesn't work properly with reordered Windows
Shift + Tab usually switches to the next open window/project. with Ctrl is switches to previous window.
That works so far.It doesn't work anymore though, as soon as you rearrange the order of the windows.
Say you have project A, Project B, Project C open, but you move the window from Project C between A and B
so now its: A, C, B
if I now want to switch from C to B I would click Shift + Tab. But instead to the obvious next Tab "project B" it switches STILL to A.
So Indesign constantly remembers the original…

Cross Reference search doesn't recognize typographer's quotes
When creating a cross-reference by searching for text with a particular style, the search text will not recognize a typographer's single quote. Therefore, a word like "woman's" with a single prime mark will work, but that same word using a proper single quote mark will yield no results, even if I can verify the existence of the text in the document to which I'm creating the cross-reference. The search function should be able to recognize that character, but if not, could it auto-replace such characters with the dumb quote mark? Failing that, could there be a simple warning message telling…

Blank EPUB Interactivity Panel in InDesign 16.3.2 on MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) running OS 10.15.7 Catalina.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign. I've installed it again deleting all old prefs. I've restarted reinstalled software and dumped prefs on start up holding down Shift/Ctrl/ALT/Cmd keys, and 'Yes' clicked when asked if I want to delete preferences file. I am at my wits end with this issue.

libraries
******* Adobe, I'm still getting this CC libraries pane in InDesign being super zoomed-in... it comes and goes but I always have to restart InDesign to correct it... only to have it return to plague me constantly.
I've spent over 2 hours with Adobe Support with no solution, and I've uninstalled/reinstalled multiple versions (including the latest) many times.
Nothing works!
See attached image to view the problem.
This has been like this since late 2020! ADOBE CAN YOU PLEASE FIX YOUR SOFTWARE?!?!?!?!?
