cmd+shift G
In Place image dialog box, I used to be able to hit cmd+shift+G to pull up the Go to Folder dialog box in order to paste a file path. This no longer works on version 15.1.2.

Problem with Keyboard Shortcuts
On a Mac [10.14.6] I set the F8 key to bring up the Paragraph Style Option box [image attached]. With the most recent update the F8 key does not work unless I have the Paragraph Style Panel open [image attached]. This is an obscure bug but it just means I need one more panel open to access the F8 shortcut. This short cut has worked for a zillion years until now. I hope this is of assistance. Thanks.

Dialog Boxes Missing
Common dialog boxes are not appearing normally on macOS. The dialog boxes include: missing/updated links as a document is open, Export PDF flows, Open, Save As. The boxes seem to activate in the incorrect space, or don't appear unless focus is given to another app by switching and then switching back to InDesign.

Emailing a document video won't go away
Opening a saved document and a 'helpful tip' video clip about emailing a document is stuck in the middle of the screen and won't close or go away, can't click on it and nothing works to get rid of it.

Unable to rename sublayer while panel is docked
In InDesign 2001 16.0.1 for Mac (and possibly other versions) it is not possible to rename a sublayer when the layers panel is docked.
Changing sublayer names is only possible when the panel is floating. The sublayer name should be editable whether the panel is docked or floating.

save as file name bug
Suddenly, when saving a file, the Mac interface highlights the entire document name AND file extension. The software has never done this, why the annoying change? Designers often save version numbers, so now it's not as quick to hit the right arrow key, change the version # at the end of the file, then save. The new way it highlights the file name doesnt make sense, because nobody would want to affect the file extension when renaming a file.

Smart guides
Snap to grid and smart guides or any function where cursor automatically snaps to edge, corner, or center point is not working. I am currently using version 16.0. I have restarted the program 5 times. All of these features are check marked and turned on despite the features not working at all.
I will not work on my project because of this issue. I need to rely on the precise support of smart guides and snap to guides in order to do what I have to do. I'm very disappointed with this bug and upset I'm set back so much…

"Update Library Item" option missing in context menu of Libraries
I am trying to update a library item. It's a previously created library item that I've made changes to. There used to be a contextual menu item called "Update Library Item" but it's gone.
When resetting the prefences with Shift+Option+Command+Control at the start of InDesign or (for me) uninstalling and reinstalling a certain plugin, that menu item appears again.
One user found out this:
Renamed Adobe Indesign folder in ~/Library/Caches. That did the trick for me !!
For the ultimate test, I put back the "old" Adobe Indesign folder and the issue was back again.Link to the old forum…

We will review the bug shortly-InDesign Team

Measurement tool not working on ID 2021
The measurement tool does not work very well in Indesign 2021. Most of the time there is no reaction to mouse clicks and if you eventually managed to create a measurement line, it is very hard to move the endpoints to a new location.

No option to hide the Application Bar in 2020
I noticed in 2020 there is no longer the menu option under the Window menu to hide the Application Bar. I'm not sure why this was removed, for people who don't use it it's just in the way and unnecessary especially when you're trying to use InDesign on a small screen, every inch of screen space counts. Im sure there are people out there that use it, and that's great, I'm sure they find it useful in someway, but we all use the application differently so please allow us the ability to turn it on and off.

InDesign non-functional
On launch, the usual "credits / ideas / new features / splash" page has a problem: See screenshot attached. It is blocking all controls and prevents using InDesign at all. It has no collapse button and isn't even rendering properly.

FIle extension should NOT be highlighted in the Save window.
FIle extension should NOT be highlighted in the Save window.
This didn't use to happen, but all the adobe apps has started doing this from 2 or 3 updates ago.
PLEASE REVERT. There's no good reason for the file extension to be highlighted.
