1. Accessing alternate characters in fonts for paragraph styles

   Environment
   MacOS: 13.5
   Adobe Indesign 18.5
   Version of font: Inter Medium 3.019;git-0a5106e0b

   Recently I have been trying to access the alternate closed ‘a’ character in the font Inter from Google fonts. For some reason I can not access this alternate character and set as a universal style to apply to other text boxes.
   I have approached GitHub to flag Inter with issues but have been informed that it might not be an issue with the font but rather how Indesign UI is accessing it. Please note that Adobe Illustrator seems to access this alternate closed ‘a’ character with the Open Type ‘Stylist Alternatives’ option but Indesign can not.

   Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
   Using Inter font - Type a normal ‘a’ within text box in InDesign (Ive been testing Inter Medium but seems any Inter weight should replicate the issue).
   Try swapping out the lowercase ‘a’ to the alternate closed ‘a’ with the character or paragraph windows - this is to make sure that I can save the style to apply to other text throughout the document.
   Please note: this option should be available to save as a style in order to use this as a universal paragraph style for any future text. Just swapping out an alternate character with find/replace is not a solution.

   Expected behaviour
   One of the alternate character options or stylist sets should universally change out all lowercase ‘a’ characters to closed ‘a’ character so that the style can be set for the whole document.

2. InDesign Tool Flyout Menu on Wrong Monitor

   I am working in InDesign 18.5.0.57 on a 2019 MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.3.1.
   I have three external monitor, two 24-in. DELL monitors, and one 25-in. ASUS monitor, configured as InDesign-Tool-Flyout-01.jpg shows.

   My problem is the InDesign tool flyout menus popup on my laptop screen rather than the center upper monitor as shown in InDesign-Tool-Flyout-02.jpg

   I know that the flyout menu can show up on the center upper monitor because it has in the past. This problem showed up after upgrading to OS 13 and InDesign 18. This has happened to before with InDesign 17, but was solved -- I can only surmise -- when I my OS was upgraded.

   So I'm not sure if this is an Adobe problem or Apple problem, or both, but it appears that one should upgrade the Mac OS before upgrading InDesign?

   It is not threatening my productivity, other than the inconvenience of have to mouse down to the laptop to select the proper tool, but it annoys me.

   I'd rather not bother IT with uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign, since we are a rather large and diverse company, and it would seem insignificant to our powerful IT overlords.

   Any help would be appreciated.

   Thank you

4. Files on home screen after update to 18.4 have wrong modification date

   I updated InD to 18.4 yesterday and today noticed that all the files on the home screen display the same modification date (on the screenshot there is only one with different but this is because I opened it for test purposes). Some of the files on my home screen has been not opened for a few weeks--I was working only a few files recently. Some files are on the network drive, some are saved locally to Creative Cloud folder--there's not much in common.

5. Creative cloud libraries tool displaying smaller than frame 2023

   The CC libraries tool panel appears at a reduced % of the actual window frame size. Sometimes it's usable (in tiny format) but other times you can't actually click on anything.

   Have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and the problem remains.

   Also for what it's worth it only started happening when I installed on my new PC laptop (no issue in same software version but on old laptop)

   Version 18.4 x64

6. Information panel not usable

   I use Indesign 18.3 on MSI CreatorPro X17 W11 (last version) PC and the Information panel is not usable. The panel is far to big, and not movable !!!!
   The monitor setup is 3840x2160 with zoom factor of 225%.
   It seems the zoom factor is appied to the text but NOT to the Information panel size. The app and other panels are OK.
   I reset completely the caches and personal parameters, nothing helps.

7. Nothing changed, but InDesigns asks for saving changes

   When opening an object, doing nothing (or just print) and closing it, InDesign comes up with a dialog to save changes. That feels very uncomfortable - did I change something by accident?

   PS Pressing cmd-S for save brings up the Save As... dialog.

8. Gradient palette window is cutting off -- Show Options turned on

   Gradient palette not fully expanding after clicking "Show Options". Everything below the Reverse Gradient option is cut off and there's no way to expand the palette window to make edits to gradient bar. See attachment.

   Tried restarting computer and made sure InDesign is up to date (18.2.1)

   I should also note that this is an issue on multiple computers.

9. Window Resizing Bug

   InDesign 18.2.1 on MacOS 12.3.1 (have been having the same issue for the past few ID updates)

   When application frame is turned off so that document windows float, document windows cannot be resized as expected. When dragging one edge, other sides of the window resize themselves – example .mov attached.

10. 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

11. Pages panel thumbnail resolution

    When InDesign 2022 (17.0) came out, the resolution of the thumbnails in the Pages panel was lowered, even with Display Performance set to High Quality Display. It's not just the greeking of the text. I can see the pixels themselves.

    This forces me to still have to use InDesign 2021 so that I can see the contents of the pages in the thumbnails.

    Screenshots posted for comparison.

12. Cursor continually freezes, Indesign auto shortens swatches pane

    Glitch happens at random intervals, but so frequently that it's becoming maddening. Right now it's happening every 30 seconds to a minute, seriously F'ng my workflow today.

    M1 MacBook Pro, occurs whether I'm using my Wacom tablet (often I blame this first). It seemed to have happened after the last updated, along with an accompanying issue where I have to continually reset my workspace if I disconnect/connect to an external monitor. If I don't reset my workspace, Indesign refuses to show any tool panels.

    See attached video.

13. system prompts glitch out and bug the program

    So, sometimes when I get a prompt, that might be rare I got it once for now but still wanted to share it, so when I get a prompt sometimes, like a system prompt from Indesign like those ones that say some warning and have an ok button(basically a dialog box) so when I get a dialog box it glitches out, disappears but stays active and not clicked and thus you can't do anything in the program because the dialog is in focus so naturally until you click it all the options in the program are greyed out(almost all) including saving the document and the only fix is to restart it and lose my document( or progress) which is not a problem because it only appears when you launch the program so there is no progress to lose but it's still annoying

14. Inconsistent names of spaces in Czech UI

    There is a mess in the names of spaces in Czech UI. The names of spaces are not consistent:

    Em Space = "Em mezera" or "Dlouhá mezera"
    En Space = "En mezera" or "Krátká mezera"
    Nonbreaking Space = "Pevná mezera" or "Nedělitelná mezera"

    Depending on the situation, the user sees either one or the other name for an identical space.

    I suggest to:
    1. Use "En mezera" and "Em mezera" only. It is not the traditional Czech name, it is an Anglicism, but quite widespread and understandable
    2. Use "Čtverčíková mezera" and "Půlčtverčíková mezera", the traditional typographic terms, nevertheless some may find it obsolete

    Terms "Dlouhá mezera" and "Krátká mezera" are confusing. It means "Long space" and "Short space". But how long? What does short means? It indicates that it is shorter than the default space, but it is actually wider. Both terms were never used in Czech language. Professionals use "Čtverčíková mezera", young people use "Em mezera". No one would ever use "Dlouhá mezera".

    As for the nonbreaking spaces, correct options for "Nonbreaking space" and "Nonbreaking space (fixed width)" are:

    Nedělitená mezera
    Nedělitená mezera (pevná šířka)
    or
    Nezlomitelná mezera
    Pevná mezera
    or
    Nedělitená mezera
    Pevná mezera

    Explanation:

    "Nedělitelná mezera" or "Nezlomitelná mezera" is the correct term for Nonbreaking space of variable width

    "Pevná mezera" is the correct name for Nonbreaking space of fixed width

    "Nedělitelná mezera (fixed with)" is a weird neologism. It is something like "Horse (with stripes)" instead of "Zebra".

15. Palette management is a nightmare. What happened?

    M1 Macbook Pro connected to dual displays. Adobe user for 20+ years.

    There seems to be no hope for palettes and window positions on Mac OS. I run multiple resolutions at different times based on the displays that are in use. Adobe apps are simply unable to maintain any palette and window locations. The application window moves to half the screen. The documents become dislodged from overall application frame. Palettes "jump" when I move them.

    As a user I understand that I have a responsibility to manage my settings, but after repeatedly resetting workspaces and trying to re-arrange palettes. I simply don't have time or patience to troubleshoot the logic behind the current window management. The user experience is terrible.

    Please provide a way to maintain window and palette positions across multiple screens and resolution changes.

    Laptop display only (+ variations for previously used resolutions)
    Laptop display with external display (1) (+ variations for previously used resolutions)
    Laptop display with external display (2) (+ variations for previously used resolutions)
    Laptop display with two external displays (1 & 2) (+ variations for previously used resolutions)
    Clamshell mode with one display (+ previously used resolutions)
    Clamshell mode with two displays (+ previously used resolutions)

    Thank you

16. 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

19. [ID-4251249]Exiting Presentation Mode makes InDesign's Window smaller when connected to external monitor.

    When entering presentation mode (shift+w), and then escape,
    InDesign windows becomes fullscreen.
    It would be great to get back to same size and position.

20. Won't let me scale gradient panel up/down

    Indesign won't allow me to scale the gradient panel up or down, it is stuck at a constant size which makes it hard/impossible to work with complicated gradients. The issue doesn't appear to be on any other panel that i'm using.
