1. Can't select a swatch color for text or table fills

   While in an InDesign document, I can't change the color of text or fills within a table. When I click to apply, it thinks for a second, then makes a beep (the sound you hear if you have an open dialog box and you click outside of it), and then reverts back to the previously assigned color. I've tried overriding the paragraph/table styles, but hasn't worked yet. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm on version 19.5.

2. Tint swatches are not working correctly for RGB swatches

   When making a tint of an RGB swatch, the slider shows lighter colors (less saturated), but when applied, the colors are darker (less brigt) - black is added.

   I work in RGB Blend space

3. Issues with Color Picker in InDesign: HSB and RGB Confusion Leading to Unexpected Colors

   When I open the color picker to adjust a shade, I usually automatically do so in HSB, since I usually want a lighter or darker shade of what I'm working on. But if I don't actually click on the radial buttons for the HSB value I'm working on, InDesign will give me some wild colors! It seems to be confusing HSB and RGB somehow--but I don't know why or how, since I'm editing in the HSB boxes.

   If I'm using an HSB Swatch and open the color picker to get a different shade, the "original" color box shows something completely unrelated to the color of the swatch, but will act as if it is the real color when I click on it.

   I'm not sure where the discrepancy is, and I can still do what I need to, but this gets really annoying and diminishes the usefulness of the color picker overall.

4. Find Color not working

   Find Color [in document] fails to find specific color swatches.

   1- I deleted all unused swatches.
   2- I tried to track down redundant or undesired swatches that remained (in example, it was a pantone red/orange)
   3 -"Find color" could not locate where swatch was used
   4- I deleted the pantone swatch and converted to magenta in order to visually locate magenta in my document since "find color" did not do so.
   5- Found the color in a text field

5. Colours not previewing when changing Paragraph rules and text colours

   When changing the colour of text or paragraph rules in my document, the colours are not changing on the page - they are still showing as white, even though both rules and titles have been changed to orange.

   If I drag the text block off the page to the bleed/slug area, the correct colour change can be seen. When I export the pages to PDF the colour is also showing up correctly, yet I can’t see them when working in the document. See screen shot below.

6. Color Swatch Menu Closes Upon Right-Click

   1. Adobe InDesign v19.0 When I click the color swatches panel menu dropdown, the menu drops down, and I am able to edit existing swatches and I am able to add new swatches. The problem occurs when I attempt to right-click on a color or if I press the hamburger button at the top right of the panel. When I try to do either of these, the entire menu closes.

7. swatch / colour display bug IND 19.2 - not all swatches used are appearing in swatch panel

   New update Indesign 19.2 swatches / colours in document not all appearing in swatches panel - you've always been able to easily delete a swatch in indesign and it'll delete everywhere if, for example, you paste something from another document and it brings in a conflicting colour, without having to use "find swatch" (which is great for finding where it's used but not as fast if you don't care where it is).

   Yesterday I noticed not all swatches used are appearing however. A text box I had used a colour background that definitely isn't in swatches. I also noticed one file in RGB didn't have a swatch appearing that was CMYK although I've since noticed it in other files without that conflict (and previously you could always have both CMYK and RGB swatches in a doc).

   Also noticing some line and type display issues, lines exporting different thicknesses despite being set to the same, and text not centred vertically when I always set up my text boxes to autosize and using baseline set to cap height, with vertical justification set to align centre in text frame options, always works, now it's not displaying great when zoomed out, but exports ok, or the other way around, looks ok then exports to jpg mis-aligned. Sometimes on the same page multiple frames set the same way, some will be fine and others slightly out of alignment...

8. Gradient Panel and Color Panel missing all options

   After using InDesign 18.5 for some time the options for adjusting color in the Color Panel and Gradient Panel go away. This can be fixed by resetting the user preferences/settings (hold shift/cntrl/option/command while opening Indesign). This fix is only temporary and eventually the options disappear again. This is driving me nuts!

12. Eyedropper tool doesn't work when InDesign is on 2nd monitor

13. Spot colors flagged because their name includes the word "pantone"

    InDesign 19
    Steps: Opening any file with manually-built spot colors with the word "pantone" in their names brings up the "this document uses Pantone colors" blue nag
    Expected: that spot colors built manually, not using any installed color books, will be left alone
    Actual: apparently the software flags the word "pantone", regardless of its origin

    Summary: Manually-created spot colors are being flagged in Indesign because they have Pantone in their names. I legally purchased Pantone books in prior years, and the colors I'm using were built by referring to the builds from those books. I am not using any installed software color libraries. I am not even using the color builds from the last several years' books. I may not use Pantone as a system anymore, but my printers do and pay their own licensing for its use. I have to tell them what color to use. How does Adobe propose I do this, if not in the way I have set up?

14. GPU Performance makes colours dull/desaturated

    With GPU Performance enabled, all colours appear desaturated. In fact, it looks like colour management is simply turned off. Please note, this is not a Transparency Blend Space issue. It affects Spot, RGB and CMYK colours.

    With GPU Performance disabled, colours appear vibrant and correct. It would be great to have this issue resolved, as I certainly want to take advantage of the GPU when using InDesign.

15. Error when pasting hex color code with #

    When pasting a hex code with a hash character prefix (#) in InDesign 18.3 (macOS 12.6.8) you get an error that it is a incorrect color format. Even if I try to "correct" the pasted text by removing the hash character, I can‘t get InDesign to accept the pasted color code.

    This annoying "bug" applies to the color window/palette.

18. Spotcolor channel does not export (not enough data)

    Spotcolor channel does not export (not enough data for one image) from InDesign 2023 - from an older Version (2022) it exports correctly, the files that don't work any longer are also from 2020 and 2021 when everything was exportable flawlessly - we need the Spotcolor to be functional.
    Spotcolor is an Extra-Spotcolor-Channel, correctly named in an TIFF in PS.
    Thank you for getting back to us within the next 5h.

19. Overprint white text when color changed in stylesheet

    When changing color to 'Paper' on a selected text – it automatically is set to not overprint (correct behaviour).
    However if you change the color in a stylesheet, from a color with overprint, to 'Paper'. It will remain on overprint.
    Also the checkbox gets greyed out. So to fix it you must choose another color, uncheck overprint, then go back to 'Paper'.
