Drawing glitches when placing transparent PNGs in RGB documents on monitors with specific color profiles
Applicable to Any Version of Mac/InDesign
When using an EIZO color management monitor with a profile created by ColorNavigator where "Reflect Black Level in Tone Curve" is enabled, placing a transparent PNG into an RGB document causes severe drawing issues, rendering the document almost unusable.
This issue occurs only when GPU rendering is enabled and does not happen with CPU rendering. Additionally, it does not occur when placing a transparent PNG in a CMYK document.
Even under the same conditions, this issue does not occur in Photoshop or Illustrator, only in InDesign.
While creating a profile with "Reflect Black Level…

Keyboard shortcuts to resize assets suddenly stop working
InDesign V19.5 on MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1.
Keyboard shortcuts to resize assets on a spread stop working once a document has been open for a while. Shortcuts such as CMD+ALT+Click to resize container box and the asset within, while maintaining proportions, CMD+click to resize container, while maintaining proportions, don't work.
The only fix I've found is to restart my Mac. Closing and reopening InDesign doesn't fix the issue.

"Failed to place PDF" with a PDF file created in Canva
Trying to import a client supplied PDF, created in the paid version of Canva and saved as a CMYK print quality PDF (not flattened). Will not place into InDesign. I've tried various and no import options and it does not work. I have placed this PDF into Adobe Illustrator and Affinity Publisher 2 without issue.

Missing library links cause repeating error message
When links are in an inaccessible CC Library, instead of "Missing" (red dot in status column) the links are "Waiting" (stopwatch icon in status column).
This also causes repeated errors "This file is already open by another user or another application. This file may be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the user closes it."
So far, the only path forward is to repeatedly dismiss the error and try to relink the artwork before the error re-appears. This has to be done for each "missing" link.4 votes -

Placed image is partially outside frame
When I place an image and drag a custom size for the placed image, the image is outside of the frame.
Note that this doesn't happen if you simply click when placing, but does happen if you click and drag when placing.
This has just started happening. Usually the image is within the frame.
Video attached.

Modifier l'original
Je cherche à modifier dans Indesign, l'application qui s'ouvre par défaut lorsque je veux modifier une photo.
Je veux que Photoshop s’ouvre et non Aperçu quand je clique sur « Modifier l’original »…
Et éviter de passer par "Modifier avec…" qui est beaucoup trop long pour 500 photos ! Avez-vous une solution ? Merci d'avance.1 vote -
Library assets missing in InDesign 2024 v19.3 but visible in Creative Cloud
Many assets that i've made and added into my libraries that we use for production are now missing for me in InDesign, v19.3, although they are still present in the Creative Cloud app, and my coworker using the same library but on InDesign v19.1 does not have this issue so far.
Both of us are on the latest version of MacOs, v14.4.

Placing an ICML file in an InDesign file ignores multiple artboards in AI files if they are embedded
If you have an AI file with multiple artboards which is an embedded anchored object in a text frame it will always revert back to the first artboard when you place the ICML in InDesign.
- Create a new InDesign file.
- Create an AI file with two artboards and one simple object in each.
- Create a text frame in InDesign.
- Place the AI file in the text frame and choose the second artboard.
- Embed the AI file.
- Export the text frame as an ICML file.
- Place the ICML file into the document (not check in/check out).

InDesign - OneDrive- Sync problems
I have synchronized a OneDrive image folder without downloading the image files. When I drag an image directly into an InDesign page, the file usually was downloaded automatically. But now I get an error message that the file might be in use and can only be opened after another user has closed it. If I use Ctrl. + D to import the same image, it works. Is InDesign maybe too fast for OneDrive to give access to the file? My collegue doesn't experience this problem but works with the same InDesign version and file directory.

Linked .Ai path info doesn't match Bridge link info
Since Uservoice for Bridge was shut down, I'm posting here. My InDesign document (latest update installed) correctly shows the path to a linked Illustrator file. In Bridge (latest update installed), the link references the same file through a OneDrive path that does not exist.
I would like to report this to the Bridge team, but I'm not sure how. Or perhaps the InDesign team will know what's going wrong. Getting correct link info from Bridge seemed (at first) like vital capability for complex books with nested links to external files.

Bad bug when previewing image area beyond the picture box crop
There’s a terribly bad bug when previewing image cropping. If you click on an image and hold the cursor down, to preview the image area beyond the picture box window, InDesign literally moves the image inside by a few pixels, so, a) it doesn’t accurately show where you HAD the image placed, and b) you always have to Undo Move Item to restore where you had it placed, which makes picture cropping preview completely useless.
A simple fix would be to show a ghost of what is being cropped when you select the image so that it shows the move…

Photoshop Layers Not Displaying or Exporting Correctly from InDesign 2024
Using InDesign 19.3 and placing (via link) a layered PSD into layout, preferred layer visibility (as spec'd in import options) is failing.
Layer is part of a Group in Photoshop; part of the group is visible, part isn't (when viewed in InDesign).
It isn't just a preview issue, because if I export a PDF from ID, the layers aren't visible in the PDF either.
For now, my workaround is to use an earlier (2023) version of InDesign. The layers in my linked PSD preview and export correctly using the earlier version.
I've tried recreating the missing elements (rules) in Photoshop…
