Adobe InDesign published document
When viewing a document for review, if you scroll too quickly and then reverse the direction of the scroll, it can get caught into a scrolling loop that I cannot stop. It scrolls up and down incredibly quickly on it's own. I have to exit the document and then come back in. Happens in Chrome and Firefox.

Actual Size is not Actual Size
I was trying to view art at "Actual Size" under "View" and using the shortcut. The art is 9" and it is showing 11.0625" instead in InDesign 2022 (v17.2). I would really appreciate this being fixed as soon as possible. Or a solution as to why this is happening to be forthcoming. Thanks!

Auto-fit label confusing
The "Auto-fit" option to keep an image's fitting method and cropping position active (as far as possible) while scaling the frame, can be confusing.
Since the implementation of it, many users are not aware of what it does, because they assume it DOES something (make it fit automatically, right now) in stead of that it will RETAIN its current crop and fit. Especially in Dutch, where it is translated as "Make it fit", which is even more misleading.
So when explaining what it actually does to many users (as a trainer, presenter) they always sigh...
Please use a more clarifying…

.TTF and .OTF font display/loading BUG InDesign 17.2
Fonts that used to load fine in InDesign appear missing even though they are installed and work in other apps like Illustrator or even Word.
Specifically this is occurring with a font that has unique glyphs: Noto Sans - Canadian Aboriginal Regular.TTF this has also been tested with a conversion to .OTF with the same result and this error has been confirmed across multiple devices.

high CPU usage version 17.2
as referred in these posts there is a performance problem with indesign that coming from version 17.0 and still exist(version 17.2):
No answer from Adobe , No fix , nothing unfortunately. It uses about 20 % of CPU when you open Indesign , it does not matter there is a document that is opened or not , it uses 20% of CPU all the time. non of other Adobe's 2022 apps have this weird problem.

Opening a document now causes lag for about 30 seconds, where I have no control
- Version of Adobe InDesign: 17.1
- Steps to reproduce the issues: a. Open document from the Mac Finder. (This lag happens whether I start with InDesign open or closed. b. I have zero control of anything while a progress indicator spins for about 30 seconds. c. A font error dialog pops up, and then I can finally control InDesign, starting by dismissing that dialog. Expected result: I expect instant control of InDesign, since my computer isn't that old and it's a pro model. Actual result: Slowness, lag - way too much, considering most of my documents are 8 pages long with…

lose keyboard shortcuts
InDesign 17.1 on 2019 MBP, Catalina 10.15.7
All of the keyboard shortcuts involving the "command" key stop working (command + spacebar, command + shift, etc.). This usually happens after leaving the app open for a long time (during a long call, lunchtime, etc.) and they don't work again until the computer is restarted.1 vote -
Poor GPU Performance
With the GPU enabled, InDesign is very slow. (everything is slow, even typing text is very long...)
On previous versions I did not encounter this problem.
If I disable GPU acceleration, and use the CPU instead, InDesign is a bit faster.I use inDesign 17.1 / MacOS Monterey 12.2.1
on a Macbook pro 15" 2015 (Intel Core i7 2.8Ghz + RAM 16Go + GPU : AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2 Go)
The Mac is connected to a 4K display1 vote -
Horizontal lines appear on a regular basis
Horizontal lines appear on a regular basis. Very frustrating. They appear when I scroll up or down, generally when zoomed in. I have to clear them with 'Hide Guides' keys (Command, semicolon key).
Also, the 'Hide Guide’ feature is flaky when using the short cut command. The guides will not remain in the 'Show Guide'I mode. I then have to use the menu to activate.

M1
I have issues with basic tasks in InDesign. I ordered a new MacBook Pro 16, M11 Pro, 16GB Ram, 1TB SSD
And just scrolling around in InDesign gave me the rolling spin.After updating to the newest indd Version and newest MacOs Version it did get better with small files, and moving a textbox worked finally.
But working with a bigger magazine file with 50 pages is not doable.I ordered a second m1 pro (same config) as thinking it might be a Hardware Issue. Same result.
I made a clean wipe of MacOs, only installed CC and Indd (and…3 votes -

InDesign v.17.1: Crashes while pasting.
InDesign v.17.1: Crashes while pasting. Elements disappearing. Working on an InDesign 2020 file, 2nd edition of a book. It's a 496-page book, full of tables and images. For some unknown reason, a lot of elements have just disappeared from a few pages and when I try to paste anything into the file, InDesign just shuts down. Please help.
PS: After a couple of hours of searching, I found this text frame containing the text that has disappeared. It has a chapter name that had gone missing. This has happened only in one section of the book. This particular style 'Chapter…

Switch off UI scaling feature in ID v17
@Adobe programming team:
Please add a switch that let the user decide to turn on or switch off the UI feature invented in ID v17. Please see attached screenshot (german version).
Reason: Users with a Windows scaling factor above 100% can no longer display all panels because they overlap and are way to big. No lower scaling possible, only higher.
ID misinterprets that the user has high-DPI monitors when using a scaling factor of e.g. 125%.
Alternatively, the scaling range could be extended having additional lower "stops".It was no problem to display panels in the correct size in ID…

Menu bar gets stuck - Indesign on M1 Pro mac
On a regular basis the pull down menus in Indesign will stop reacting properly: Clicking menu item will select the topic (screenshot 1), but not pull down the menu. A second click AND hold will pull down the menu, but all the sub-menus remain unavailable, they will not pull out. The issue is persisent: Restarting Indesign does not fix it once it starts occuring, but restarting the computer will fix it. The issue may be OS related, but it only occurs in Indesign, and only on my M1 Pro computer, not my older Intel mac.
The issue usually occurs after…
