Please change one word in the German Indesign
The German Word "Abstände" is used two times in the paragraph style panel but with two completely different meanings.
First use "Einzüge und Abstände" is in English "Indents and Spacing".
Second use "Abstände" is in English "Justification".
Please change the second one to "Blocksatz" or "Blocksatzeinstellungen" so that the German users will not be confused anymore.
Or contact a German speaking InDesign pro user for a better translation.
Just a small change to make a lot of (German speaking) people happy!

The Stroke Panel Table Cell Stroke picker box is adjusting other Workspace panels in its shared column
My saved workspace has the Stroke Panel at the top of a column of panels and when I create a table and click into it to change its stroke, the Table Cell Stroke picker in the Stroke Panel expands. When I click outside of the table and the Table Cell Stroke picker goes away, the panels that expanded collapse, but other panels below stay in place. If this is done repeatedly, the other panels' locations/sizes would be altered permanently needing the Workspace to be reset.
The video below shows what happens when the above described action is performed multiple times.…

Needing a smaller swatches panel (minimum 1 line, not 2 lines)
Context : On most of my documents, with few but very distinct colors, I'll often switch to "big thumbnails". It's easy to distinguish a color from a lighter or darker version.
But then, when the panel could displays two lines of swatches, I would only need one (see linked file), freeing a lot of screen space.
Except the minimum size of that panel doesn't go under 2 lines, when 1 would be enough.

In Japanese version, "Column" is incorrectly translated as "列" instead of "段"
InDesign 15.0.1
There are at least eight places where "Column" should be translated as "段" in the Japanese version, but "列".
Please see the list on the next page along with the Japanese version of the screen capture.
https://cs5.xyz/blog/2020/02/indesign_text_column.html日本語版で"Column"を"段"と訳すべきところ、"列"と訳されているところが少なくとも8箇所あります。
次のページに日本語版の画面キャプチャとともにリストアップしましたので見てください。

Perplexed translation – Czech version of InDesign CC
Hello, please correct Czech UI of InDesign CC - InDesign preferences, Text panel, first line:
InDesign CS6: "Používat typografické uvozovky" (it is correct, it means "Use typographic quotation marks", the grammar form is consistent with UI)
InDesign CC2020: "Použijte Typographer’s & Quotes" (it means nothing, it is a mixture of Czech and English words, the grammar form is not consistent with UI because it is using the imperative form instead of the infinitive). The closest translation to English would be "Use typografovy a uvozovky!"
2 votesThe fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2022(v17.0.0.96). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application and click on the context menu on the top right and click on Check for App Updates.

Arrow Functions
Why did you reverse the arrow colors? These were so primary to the use of the program its just a mind bend. I'm not finding the new functions to be very useful. The second arrow doesn't seem to have any valid use. Its harder to move the boxes with the first arrow because it jumps to the underlaying image and moves it instead. Trying to build a polygon and move the points to add highlight to irregular shapes and cannot move the points without it shifting other points that were set in place where they were needed. Not helpful.

"Edit Page Size" drop down list; each entry duplicated
When using the "Edit Page Size" button/drop down on the Pages panel, the list of page sizes has begin showing duplicate entries, and I'm not sure why. It seems to have started out of nowhere.
To select an item in the list, you can see in the screenshot that each entry is doubled, and sometimes the "top" item is the correct one to click, other times it is the "bottom" item. In each pairing, one of them does nothing when selected.
I've attached an image to show what I mean.3 votes -
Paragraph/character styles font menu bug. Multiple Monitors
InDesign CC 2020 (15.0.2)
Operating System: macOS Catalina (10.15.4)
MacBook Pro 2019 16 inch built in monitor (default) 3072x1920
Samsung LC27JG52QQXEN 2560x1440 144HzIf I have the screens stacked as per the screen shot attached the font menu with paragraph styles is stretched off the screen top and bottom. The only way around this is to position my other screen to the side and then it works fine. The images 3 and 4 show the issue that I am having. Images 1 and 2 show the only thing that I can do to workaround the issue.

None of my windows float in when I open Indesign version 15.1.1
The app is running, but none of my windows float in when I open my file.
I can't access any of my tools, pages, or layers... This is the only thing I'm able to see which is only my document. But I can't work without the tools! How can I fix this issue? I already tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and re-installing Indesign 15.1.1 and nothing has worked.1 vote -

[bug] UI won’t show up although app seems to have launched successfully
macOS Catalina 10.15.5
MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)Nothing appears when I create a new document or open one. The app seems to be working though because it keeps adding a numeric increment every time I create a new file. InDesign is updated to latest build. Please advise.

jittery cursor
My Indesign cursor flickers and is jittery when I have Photoshop running in the background. I'm running Catalina 10.15.4 on a 27" iMac Retina 5K. Never experienced this problem before this week.

BUG - 15.1.1 - Mac/PC - text threads don't display
On both Mac and PC, the 15.1.1 version doesn't display text frame threads.
When I create a new doc, threaded text frames DO show the threads. But when I open pre-existing documents, threads don't show at all. I've confirmed this behavior with a few other people, on both OS platforms. I'm running on Win10/64, [Version 10.0.18363.836]. The Mac users were on very recent OS's.

InDesign help/welcome screen
I don't like the fact that the, what looks like a "welcome screen" always pops up after closing InDesign work page. I was told it it's a UI of the application.
Please find a way for us to turn that off. I find it annoying and not helpful during my work day.3 votes -
Click, click-drag combinations no longer work as they did previously.
Upon upgrading to 15.1.1, on Mac OS 10.14.16 Mojave
-Triple-clicking won't select a whole line, and, yes, I selected "triple-click to select whole line" in preferences.
Double-clicking does won't switch from the object tool to the text tool.
Double-click and drag won't extend the selection.
I didn't find anything in the Mac OS, Wacom, or InDesign prefs that referenced click or click-drag options. Adjusting double-click speed doesn't change this bug.
If these features were disabled to take advantage of the swipe features of Apple mouse and tablet gestures, please add a preference option to use a standard mouse.

InDesign Comment Area for Edits and Notes
Is there a note feature in InDesign to add notes for edits? I have always added a text box from a copied email but wonder if their is a sidebar utility so I don't loose the notes as I page scroll. Normally I have 2 screens but I think this feature would be cool as I continue my career in InDesign.

Bring back title bar icons from CC 2018
Those were so handy, why have they been removed? There is plenty of space on the title bar.
