This happens in both the print module and the print booklet module.

I click on the printer's name in the standard InDesign print dialog box, go to select the new one, click on the new printer, and it acts like it selects that printer only to see that it reverts back to the printer that was previously selected. I try multiple times and it still does the same thing. I have to try different printer menus to get it to stick.

This issue also happens when I try to change the centering option for the document. There is clearly excess space that causes the document to sit in one corner over the others, making it not centered. Sometimes I am unable to select the centering option. It'll revert back to the left-top part of the document. The only way I've found to get centering to stick, is to select the scaling option which automatically centers the document and then change the scaling off of 'scale to fit'

2. For example, let's say I have a file open and I want to create a new file without using the shortcut CTRL+N. When I bring my cursor to the top bar containing File, Edit, Layout, Type, Object, etc... it selects the correct category which results in a dropdown menu, but as soon as I move my cursor a little, the system throws the cursor over like 2 tabs at a time. So for example, I click File, the menu drops down, I move the cursor to select the type of New file I want and then suddenly I have a different dropdown menu open, two tabs over. This is not a consistent issue but it happens often enough to be frustrating and bring me to write out this report. While writing this message, the program displayed the glitch (even if I resize the screen or close and reopen the program). Now randomly it works when 5 minutes ago it wasn't working properly.


3. I would expect the dropdown menu I selected to remain when I click it and move the cursor through that menu.


4. Sometimes it works as it should, other times it does what I described above.


5. I would upload some way to view this issue if I knew how.

Like previous versions of InDesign CC the color separations preview still does not work correctly.

When user tries to view separations by turning a color separation off, or toggling back and forth between colors, the visible page in the document goes completely haywire - scattering elements and superimposing images from other nearby pages. See attached screenshots of the issue.

This has been an issue for awhile and I am dismayed it still has not been addressed as it is a very useful function in the printing industry. Since the launch of CC I have had to check my separations in Acrobat and then re-enter InDesign to make any corrections. In previous versions it used to work correctly.

The 2018.1 "search" added to cross-references is great and will be very helpful. Unfortunately it appears that a bug was introduced in the process of adding this feature.

When you double-click on a cross-reference in the Cross-References panel, it opens the Edit Cross References window. This used to open the window to the cross-reference you selected so you could edit it. Now, it opens the window at [All Paragraphs] with the first paragraph in this list selected.

This is a MESS for my workflow, as I now have to search through the cross-references to find and select the one I want to edit. Fortunately, it is easier to do this now that the search box is there – but it’s an extra step that requires typing the cross-reference into the search box to find it.

Hopefully you guys will be able to fix this soon so double-clicking on a cross-reference in the panel works the way it did before. Thanks!

The UK dictionary in InDesign CC 2018 is wrong. It is recognizing both American and British spellings of certain words as correct. The biggest issues I've found so far are "iz" versus "is" spellings (e.g. capitalize/capitalise) and words that need an extra "e" (e.g. ageing). I have all text boxes in my document set to UK English, and spellcheck is finding certain misspellings (e.g. "or" versus "our"), but not others.

This is a major problem for those of us who regularly have to "translate" text from American English to UK English. Is there a way to import a better UK dictionary?

InDesign 13.0.1 on a apple mac running 10.13.3 does not recognize alias (links) on a server share anymore. Photoshop still does.

Steps: Go to a server share, no matter if an smb or afp share.
Create a folder A. Place an file inside, e. g. 1.jpeg
.
Create an alias from folder A => A alias.
In InDesign choose OPEN:
Go to the server share
The Folder A is in black typo an available. Highlight A and you see the file.
The Alias A alias is gray, InDesign does not recognize the link.
Do the same in Photoshop, you will see the file no matter if you chose the folder or the alias.
All the years this worked in InDesign too (as expected).
