Moving pages between documents buggy in indesign 18.0
When attempting to move pages from one .indd file to another, the application occasionaly tells me that the page format is different, which it isn't. What happens is the pages don't show up in the target document although being deleted from the source doc (delete pages box checked) … closing and reopening the application helps sometimes but not for good. Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Moving to the next page lag and sometimes doesn't even happen
When I scroll to the next page the display doesn't change, it stays as the page I was originally on. Sometimes I have to close the document and reopen to access the page I want.

Lagging and glitching mouse pointer
The problem comes when I expand or move a text box: the mouse glitches, the entire page lags and becomes half black, so I can't do anything properly.
I've just reinstalled InD and installed all the updates or drivers coming from the OS (I have a 6 month Lenovo PC with Windows 11). I'm not using InD with browsers or other programs open. Sometimes, InD seems working, but when I restart InD after turning off the PC, the lagging and glitching mouse is still here.
I have no idea of how fix this... it's exhausting because I can't paginate anything…1 vote -

Footnote references not fully displaying all digits
InDesign 18.0
After updating the file type for the new InDesign 2023, I noticed that my footnote reference markers were not displaying correctly in the footnotes themselves: the second digit is always missing. So for example, if the footnote number is 35, only the 3 is displayed. If the number is 128, only the 1 and 8 are displayed (with a blank in the middle). This is taking place even after converting to .idml.
My colleague with 17.4 opened the same .idml and it is displaying correctly. The first screenshot is from him showing what it is supposed to look…

I can't see anything except drop down menu items when I create a new document
That's just it. I create a new document. Put in the pages, margins, units etc.. then.. nothing. Nothing comes up. I can still see the menu items and am able to save the file - but I can't see it or work in it.
I tried pressing spacebar. nah
I tried opening from file.. nah
I tried different views and different previews. Nothing.
Illustrator works just fine.
Also, what's the difference between open normal and open original?
I can't believe I had to waste 30 minutes on this.1 vote -

Alignment of text box ignores anchored objects
When I have an anchored object (lets say an image) hanging at the bottom of the text box, aligning the text to the bottom of the text box will align the text only, and cuts off the image at the bottom.
I imagine this also happens to images at the top of the text box, when aligning to the top.
I think that by design, anchired objects should be calculated as part of the text box's content, and should be aligned to the bottom, as text would.
If not, it should at least be an option to choose from.Thank…

New Document dialogue allowing impossible column gutter
When creating a new document in the New Document dialogue, InDesign (17.4) is allowing a impossible column gutters (Page Size: 8.5"x11", Columns: 1, Column Gutter: 12"). The Margins and Columns dialogue will prevent this from happening, the New Document dialogue will not. This causes issues when attempting to change files later using the Document Setup dialogue, even after the Column Gutter is adjusted in the Margins and Columns dialogue.

Place command (cmd+D) can't see the tagged folders, so i can't find my documents quickly as it should be...

Boards are not displaying
All I can see is a grey screen surrounded by my tools and panels, as though I had hidden my pages. My cursor works as normal, identifying objects and texts, and can even select and move them, but nothing is shown. Occasionally a pdf file will be visible as part of a glitch. I have tried updating my Mac, Indesign, and restarting both.
Version: Adobe InDesign 2022
Steps: opening any of my files

can't resize window on left or right edge
Can not resize document window from left or right edge when document is maximized. Top, bottom and corner resizing works fine. If I resize from one of those first, all works well and left/right edges can be resized. If I then maximize the window again, left and right edge resize stops working.
I've had this problem with CC 2021 and 2022.3 votes -
Actual Size Error
It shows 20% larger when the actual size is at 100%. When the View Size is at 80%, it gives an image close to 100%. Command + 1 (⌘ + 1) brings the screen to 100%, but the dimensions are wrong.

InDesign overset text copies entire document
InDesign is creating a problem wherein I finish an entire document and it still says there is overset text. When I create a new frame to put it into to see what it is, I find that InDesign has duplicated the text of the entire document. When I try to delete the extra, it just copies the text over and over and puts it right back, including if I try to delete the frame that the extra text is inside of. How do I make this stop?
