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…

pages breaking and vertical lines on screen
When i am working in any document since updating to Indesign 17 including the recent 17.0.1 the pages start to get vertical lines and horizontal lines, and the design elements start overlapping or having duplicates, tables will not display as aligned, trying to select text and my curser is really clicking 2 lines above. If i click "W" to toggle between Presentation view and back sometimes that will fix some of it and other times it will make it worse. I have attached a few screen shots to show how it will display different pages. When i go to export…

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.

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?

Un panneau historique (comme dans Photoshop) serait intéressant dans Indesign.

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.—

Sélection multiple
La possibilité de faire des sélections multiples dans un même bloc de texte serait une bonne idée. Comme le fait si bien VSCode avec le bouton alt+click gauche. Une autre chose la prise en compte de shift et du pavet numérique pour aller en début ou en fin de ligne Shift + 1 = fin de ligne et Shift + 7 pour le début de ligne.

Can't do long math in some Opacity text fields
This is a very minor bug I ran into. In certain text fields that set an object's Opacity value, the character limit is 5 characters, which is not enough to do certain mathematical operations, like 12.5/2. If the value is a decimal number with two places, no math can be performed at all.
The 5 character limit applies to the control that appears in the Control panel when selecting an object, and the control that appears in the Effects panel when selecting an object.
The only field that allows enough characters to perform that operation is the one found in…

Pages window isn't showing pages
v 17.2
With the new update, the Pages window/panel is not showing the pages in document. The panel is locked to the side in my workspace. When InDesign is opened the panel needs to be unlocked from side and click on Pages tab to have pages show below. Re-lock the panel and click on Pages tab to show document pages. Please fix. Thank you!1 vote -
New Animate palette bug
In InDesign 17.1.0.50 OSX, the Animate palette is smaller than its tools !
In my screen capture, you can see 3 right points (transformation center points) that are so on the left that I cannot click on them.
Even if I enlarge the palette, the 3 right points are still unusable, and it is the same when I I save the workspace and restart InDesignThank you for reading

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 -
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.

find/change text missing search: selection
after making a selection, the Find/Change text dialog sometimes does not offer Selection in the Search dropdown. It will be present under GREP and Object, but not Text and Glyph. Closing/reopening Find/Change does not fix it. Restarting InDesign usually fixes it...until it goes missing again.
