Images are being flipped on InDesign 2023 > 2024 update
As title describes, I have a file that is suitable for InDesign 2023 (18.5.0.57), when I open it in InDesign 2024 (19.0.0.151) some rare cases (twice in 1 day) there have been images that have been flipped upside down.
Fortunately both times the client's have picked this up, I work for a print industry and send back PDFs for print approval. This is the final stage before print.

Unlink word document from Links - it used to work in Id2023
I am missing the "UNLINK" button (right click on word document in Links). I just checked the same documents in both versions 2023 and 2024. In new version the button is missing.

Keine Darstellung der Seite (Seite verschwindet beim Text!!!!)
Indesign 18.5 und 19.0 Bei der Texteingabe verschwindet die ganze Grafik (Seite) Auch beim verschieben vom Nullpunkt verschwindet die ganze Seite.
Das alles ist unmöglich, ich kann mit diesen Versionen nicht arbeiten.
Indesign 17.4.2 funktioniert.

Align panel issues
I'm using v 18.3 on mac.
My align panel isn't completely viewable and looks different that it ever has before. The normal options are gone. Also, in the top toolbar, the align tools only show up when I try to align objects. The tools don't appear when I attempt to align text boxes.
I've attached a screenshot showing how the toolbar has always looked when I've selected assets to align, one showing how those options are gone unless I'm aligning objects, and a final one of the align panel. This has been very frustrating.

Pick an other page in a link
It would be great, when importing a file with several pages, to be able to quickly choose another page of the linked file in the links panel, without having to re-import the file.

Edited links do not visually update in InDesign 2024 19.0
When I edit links (mostly PSD files) and then update the modified links in InDesign the application seems to be updating them as usual, the graphics reload and the update warning symbol disappears and all seems fine - except graphically they have not changed. Graphically they are still their old version.
I've tried rebooting InDesign several times, and making more changes to the links to force another update, printing the document, etc. There is no preflight issues with the document, all links are up to date, but what I'm seeing is older versions.
The only thing that seems to work…

Black Backgrounds When Copying PNG from Web to Indesign (Return of Bug)
This is a recurring bug that was solved in a few past updates, but, it's back in InDesign V. 18.5.
When you copy a transparent background PNG from Google Images (or any website) and paste it into InDesign, it will display a black box as the background.
If you paste the same image into Photoshop, copy that, paste it into InDesign, it will not show the black background.
This was working 100% flawlessly over the last year, but, is now broken in this new version on multiple Macs. Tried different browsers. Reset preferences, same issue.
This was a bug that…

ink limit not displaying correctly with 'flat' psd files, Indesign 18.5
Indesign doesn't correctly display zero ink levels when inspecting psd files with the ink limit inspector when the .psd file has the default 'background' bottom layer present.
first image uploaded shows two files with same colour profiles, from same scanner etc previewed in Indesign —top one still has a 'background' base layer and the white area around it shows red when there isnt any ink/colour — this is incorrect!
If I double click the background layer so it is no longer 'flat' and resave the top photoshop file, then Indesign is able to read the ink levels correctly!
See second…

frame background showing behind polygon that's been pasted into it
Indesign v18.4
Steps:
- make a rectangular frame, give it a background color
- make a polygon the same color as the page background, that intersects the edge of the frame
- cut and paste-into the polygon into the frameExpected
the combination perfectly simulates the appearance of subtracting the polygon from the rectangular frame, but in a way that preserves editability.Actual
works imperfectly: a tiny sliver of the background is visible on the edge of the rectangular frame. this very thin line gets thickened by the "enhance thin lines" function on adobe reader (but is still visible without…1 vote -
Metadata, text variables in Indesign
Indesign don't insert Metadata (XMP) from the orioginal images downloaded from stock.adobe.com (as text variable); the downloaded image has to open in Photoshop and to »Save as«. Then the XMP-Metadata could be read by Indesign (as text variable).

doc:1, doc:10, doc:101, doc:2, doc:21
instead of normal number order

Display glitch when Placing multiple images
Adobe Indesign 2023 and prior.
When several large images are selected in the 'place' dialog box to place one after another, the first image often does not display the green guide arrows for matching existing object sizes. Subsequent images in that set do, but these often display the preview for the image just placed rather than the image currently loaded.

Nach jedem update gehen Verknüpfungen verloren
Es ist ein Graus! Seit ewigen Zeiten gehen nach jedem Update (aktuell 18.4) in jedem Dokument jegliche Verknüpfungen verloren. Gerade bei umfangreichen Dokumenten, die Verknüpfungen aus vielen verschiedenen Ordnern enthalten, ist das schier untragbar! Dieser Arbeitsaufwand ist nicht nur zeitintensive, sondern auch nervenaufreibend, und müsste in meinen Augen auch programmiertechnisch behoben werden.

Gros bug d'affichage
Bonjour, j'ai un bug d'affichage intermittent sous InDesign que je constate depuis plusieurs versions (depuis au moins fin 2021) : lorsque j'appuie sur "w" pour passer du mode de l'écran "Normal" au mode de l'écran "Aperçu", j'ai parfois des aberrations graphiques qui m'empêchent de voir correctement la double-page et qui persistent jusqu'à ce que je revienne en mode "Normal".

Object Layer Options is broken in v18.3
When turning off a layer in a placed PSD file with "Object Layer Options", other layers in the PSD are also turned off, even though their respective visibility icons indicate they are showing.
See the attached file. The "Gradient Map 100" layer makes the image purple. However, when hiding the "Generative Layer 1" layer, the effect of the former layer is broken.

Code of QR codes bugged?
I use ID 2023 on a mac. I want to generate a vCard and have to use v3.0 because of some problems with special characters, that are not shown correctly with 2.1 on apple devices.
So i found a workaround, where someone copied the vCard code as plain text into the generator from ID instead of using the built in vCard function. But the scanned code can't be recognized as vCard with several apps on Android. External QR generators produce working QR-codes with the same input. But on iPhone devices both codes work.
I decoded two files at https://zxing.org/w/decode.…
