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…

Separations palette without numbers
At some point the numbers go missing from the separations preview, when separations is chosen from the palette menu. This applies also to the Ink Limit view. Resetting preferences will help for a while.

Disabling UI scaling for high PPI displays causes truncated descriptions in "Preferences"
Installed InDesign CC 2018; when disabling UI scaling for high PPI displays, and restarting.
When "Preferences" are launched, all options turn up with their descriptions truncated, and replaced with an ellipsis.
Two images are attached, when UI Scaling is disabled vs enabled.
This is happening on MS Surface Pro 3, Windows 8.1, screen resolution 2160 x 1440 px (max supported by Surface Pro) and all resolutions below.

CC Files in InDesign not showing up
I shared files using CC Files for teams using my work account, and the sync with my account on my home computer in the user folder/creative cloud files, however they don't show up in the START workspace when I launch InDesign. How do I get these files to show up in the application?

Pages panel doesn't scroll all the way down
When the pages panel is filled up vertically with the pages, and when the panel is set to "View Pages > Horizontally," the panel does not scroll all the way to the bottom, and the page numbers of the bottom pages are cut off.
This is easily reproducible in any new document with reset InDesign preferences.

InDesign 2024 panels expand abnormally when application frame is OFF
Recurring issue from one InDesign upgrade to the next! Found 2- and 6-year old reports of the same bug. In-between updates fix it but reoccurs with every new upgrade...
ISSUE
When Application Frame is disabled, panels that are on the right side of the screen don't expand towards the left as they normally would but to the right.
The bigger the UI scaling size, the more to the right of the screen the panel expansion moves, soon disappearing altogether. Only smallest sizing allows to display properly.
Attaching screenshot for reference.
No problem when Application Frame is enabled.TECHNICAL INFO:

Blank Document/Pasteboard when Display Profile Changes
When the display profile changes, i.e., when using automatic profile switching when room lighting changes (Spyder), document pages and any items on the pasteboard disappear. The rest of the UI remains the same.
The 'fix' suggested elsewhere is to turn GPU preview off. However, when you do that, clicking on the document/pasteboard makes both flash white and can also make the document jump leftward to the edge of the window.
The only real fixes are to close and reopen the document(s) or restart InDesign.
And just in case anyone is tempted to suggest I stop using Spyder or any other…

Tool Panels go off screen
This bug has been in Indesign a while now. using Mac OS Sonoma latest updates. This occurred in previous Mac OS's as well. Computer is M1 Max - MacBook Pro. This happens when using an external display, so 2 screens (1 MacBook Pro screen and 2nd via HDMI). Indesign is open on the larger secondary screen. If "Application Frame" is unchecked, opening tool bars snapped to the right side of the screen all open their windows right of the tool bar and thus go off screen. They should open to the left.
This video shows it working correctly with Application…

The magnification option is gone from the menu bar in InCopy 2024
I'm not sure if this was a strange UI decision, a preference I can't find or a bug. It seems that the magnification dropdown in InCopy 2024 that was beside the "Help" button is gone.

Workspace not loading on open in 2023
So, today's thing that's broken is when I boot up indesign for the first time of the day all my panels and toolbars are missing. Selecting my workspace doesn't bring them back, I have to select a different workspace, then select mine to bring them back. Does anyone at adobe actually care about Indesign any more? This app has been riddled with bugs now for around 4 years - stuff that's been flagged up years ago still not fixed, like the graphics streaking across the page causing objects to disappear for example

Presentation mode InDesign resizes window bug (Mac OS Ventura)
Hello, there is a annoying bug, that drives me crazy.
If you setup the UI-size to position 1 in the preferences, InDesign can’t remembers the window size correctly (see. video).
When I’m in the presentation mode (shift w) and after I left it, the app window of InDesign is resizing small (or another wrong size).
If you change the UI-size back to position 2 (standard setting) this bug doesn’t happening. I checkt it again and again.And it only happens when the two 27" 4K displays are connected.
I’m working on a MacBook Pro 16" M1 Pro in MacOS Ventura.…

Bottom toolbar/scroll bar dissapears when in fullscreen mode
At first i thought it was my monitors, but it also does it when I have InDesign open on my laptop. I'm running the latest Microsoft update, and when I select Fullscreen on the InDesign window, the bottom bar disappears, so I'm unable to use the bottom scrollbar. It only re-appears when i minimize the window

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).

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!

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)
kinds regards,
