Layer selection window size in import options
When importing a .psd or .ai file, the layers selection window is ridiculously small (you can only view 4 layers at a time), making it a real pain to select layers on a big file. Please, at least make it resizeable.

%-Sliders not working properly anymore when palette attached to the right edge
InDesign 17.2 / 17.4: Ever since these two releases came out, I am not able to use my palettes when they are attached to the right edge of my workspace. Example: I want an item in 76 % magenta. I select the item, click ”effects" (Effekte for me, since my default language is German), then choose magenta. Finally I want to slide the percentage to 76. As soon as I touch the slider, the tool disappears. This happens to sliders as in Colors and Transparency, and only if the tools are arranged in a list view in the sidebar. Setting…

Table border selector problem
Table border selector lines are extremely thin at minimal UI scaling, hard to select and see. In previous Indesign versions versions it was much thicker. Screenshot attached.

Script editor doesn't open when JSX menu is activated
The menu Edit Script (from JSX file, under script palette) doesn't open the file in the script editor. Instead, the CC App pops-up which is very annoying and time consuming (InDesign 17.4).

"Missing font" dialog design error
In the "Missing Fonts" dialog box, the "Skip" button (B: Überspringen) is clearly highlighted. So you might think that you activate this button with "Enter". Instead, pressing "Enter" opens the "Replace Fonts" (A: Schriften ersetzen…) dialog, which has a slightly bold border.
This is visually completely nonsensical and confusing.1 vote -
Lack of full-screen mode support for MacOS
Why don't you play nice with MacOS? They have had a full-screen mode for years, and you apparently couldn't care less about your Mac users' need for efficiency. Maximizing Adobe apps on separate desktops isn't at all the same as full-screen mode, so please don't pretend it is. Get off your ****, take the $52/month I and many others give you, and GET IT DONE!

Bug: Page selector not correct after opening next file
Indesign v17.1, Windows 10
Problem: when opening a second document while the first currently is on page 22, for example (see screenshot), and then tiling, the 2nd document is shown to be on page 22 as well, though it's not. With the 2nd document being on master page C-Rear EA, the page selector not only shows 22, it also has the checkmark put next to 22 when you open the dropdown.1 vote -

PDF-Comments Panel - Buttonclicks don't register - click several times + SOLUTION
Report a minor issue in Indesigns PDF-Correction-Panel.
SOMETIMES in the PDF-correction panel my mouseclicks on the "accept"-Button wouldn't register reliably and i have to click several times in order for the correction to be made. Solution: The clickable area in the button is wrong. You have to click on the "accept"-TEXT inside the button, you can't click somewhere in the outer highlighted area of the button (which would be the expected behaviour).
(Bug in latest version of Indesign CC, as of May2022, german locale)

inaccurate view
Latest version of InDesign does not show an accurate view. At 100% view or ACTUAL SIZE, it is significantly larger. I was on with Adobe tech services for about an hour as he tried to find a fix. He noticed that the problem does not happen with older versions of InDesign, only the latest version (17.2.1)
The issue does not exist in Illustrator or Photoshop.

An error icon for Background Tasks Circle progress element.
Try to include one Caution or Exclamation Icon near to the circle progress bar to understand it is not progressing but stuck with error.
Otherwise users get confused with that the process is going on, and wasting too much time. Presently it is shown only on the Background Task window.

Text of title of Open file dialog window is too close to the edge
Text of title of Open file dialog window is too close to the edge.
Though rather cosmetic issues, it’s annoying to the eye of a designer. ;-) (InDesign 17.2.1, macOS 12.3, Czech language)

Bottom of links palette not clickable/acessible
The items at the bottom of the links palette are not accessible, I can't scroll all the way down to select them, they seem to be trapped under the line that divides the list from the info area. There's no way of relinking or updating links these links, which is very frustrating. The is happening on all my versions of indesign on all computer for at least two years (on Mac).Is this not happening to anyone else?

Tab order window is not resizable
I design a lot of long forms inside of InDesign. Part of this process is getting the tab order correct. The Tab Order window only displays 9 rows and is not resizable. This makes at a glance review of the tab order impossible.
Additionally, dragging and dropping rows above/below each other is broken. The blue line that signifies where I am about to drag something to does not always match up with where the drop actually happens. Sometimes it can be above another field.
Similarly, if I move a block of rows at once, the view of the window will…
