2. Recent File menu text garbled

   When opening InDesign and seeing the Recent File menu filter screen before opening a document, the text is garbled, almost as if it's layered over previous versions of the same file. See screengrab attached.

3. Design disappears in workspace, only selections are visible

   This issue seems to happen out of nowhere. Sometimes when revisiting InDesign, sometimes when zooming in or out. My whole design disappears into the workspace, only showing the selections when I click them.

   The only fix for now is saving and restarting InDesign, but it's very inconvenient.

   I am using macOS Sonoma 14.1, and InDesign 18.5.1.

4. Cross-references Feature is Not Fit For Purpose

   Cross-references are by their very nature linked with long documents. Adobe claims InDesign has "…powerful features for creating longer documents" but, as long as the cross-references feature remains so painfully slow, that statement does not stand up to scrutiny.

   Just opening a cross-reference in a long document (2,000 pages) is taking four hours on a Mac Studio with 64 GB memory. How long it takes to actually edit it is, as yet, unknown – I gave up after 90 minutes watching the spinning beachball of death to work on another project.

   As it stands, the cross-references feature is bordering on unusable. Pure and simply, it is not fit for purpose and needs to be rewritten from the ground up.

5. Text Frame Lag when Window > Control (Panel) is enabled.

   When Control Panel is enabled (Window > Control), double clicking into a text frame has a lag for about a second. Turning off the Control Panel helps but this is not a solution.

   I think this lag is related to loading fonts in background for the select field – doesn’t matter how much or how less fonts are installed/loaded on Mac.

   As this is a long existing performance issue yet (available since 2018), could you please consider to optimize the lag for text frames within a future update, finally?

6. Incopy hyperlink Ok Button Grayed Out

   When trying to add a hyperlink to a page in InCopy, the Ok button is grayed out. All the other Link To Options appear to work fine, it is only the Page option that is graying out the Ok button.
   InDesign is allowing me to link it with no problem.
   I'm using InCopy & InDesign 2024, but also opened an old document that was done in the 2023 versions and noticed the same issue.

9. Shortcuts assigned to custom menus lost after opening Keyboard Shortcuts again, clicking Cancel [Mac]

   In brief: If user assigns a shortcut to a menu created by a script, the shortcut will be lost after opening the Keyboard Shortcuts window again and clicking Cancel.

   A detailed description of the bug is here:
   https://forums.adobeprerelease.com/indesign/discussion/2354/shortcuts-assigned-to-custom-menus-lost-after-opening-keyboard-shortcuts-again-clicking-cancel#latest

   Affects both InDesign 2023 and 2024.

10. InDesign 18.5 saving/exporting/packaging/importing location behavior

    The way Indesign navigates folders has become very inconsistent and is creating a lot of extra work. For the most part, they are not defined by the files themselves nor InDesign (historically it has been one of those two).
    Now it is defined by the specific tool which is taking a lot of time extra navigating when switching between multiple projects or clients, and makes it very easy for files to end up in the wrong places. Below is a list of the how each tool is navigating.

    File Save As:
    a. New File: Last folder Indesign save to by any file
    b. Existing indd file: The Files current location
    c. Existing idml file: Last folder Indesign save to by any file (not it’s current location)

    Export:
    a. Same as file
    
    b. Once anything is exported in any folder not the same as the file, it exports to the file’s last export location
    If copying a file: Save As resets it the export option to a. Duplicating with finder or packaging the file does not.
    C. If a new file has never been saved, it will follow the export rules of the last file InDesign used

    Package: Last folder Indesign packaged to by any file.
    Place: Last folder Indesign placed from by any file.
    Relink: Last folder Indesign relinked from by any file
    Data Merge Source: Uses export to define
    Load Styles: Last folder Indesign loaded a style from
    Import PDF Comments: Last folder Indesign attempted to place comments from, even if unsuccessful.

    I am using InDesign 18.5 / Ventura 13.5.2 but behaved this was on Big Sur too

11. shortcut presets resets to default

    Several people in our team have the problem.
    That every time we restart InDesign CC23 (18.5) the shortcut set is reset to default. the saved shortcut set is still availlable but we have to select it again.

    We work on MacOS 13.6 with Apple M1 Chips.

    Thanks and regards

12. 2024 lag

    InDesign 2024 is lagging a lot—there's a delay in response when clicking onto a text or content box to edit the content. Even moving from page to page (at typical or fast display) there's a lag.

13. Scrolling is glitchy or nonfunctional in InDesign 2024

    Scrolling with a mouse (not the trackpad) through a document vertically or horizontally works, but not always. Zooming in by holding Alt and then scrolling is unusable because trying to zoom in causes everything to zoom all the way out, and continuing to try to zoom in only works sometimes.

    I have tried this with multiple mouses, and the issue does not occur in any other program, including InDesign 2023.

    In the attached video, I am holding Alt and trying to zoom in.

14. Image Frame distorts with customization

    I'm trying to change the width and height of an image (cropping), and it used to never change the image within the frame. Now whenever I change the frame, the image inside changes proportion instead of cropping. Very frustrating.

15. High Cpu Usage indesign 2021-2022-2023-2024 versions...

    Hello, unfortunately I have this problem too, it constantly uses 30% of the processor when idle, I tried everything, but the problem is completely related to the new indesign versions. Adobe has not made a fix on this issue yet, when will you fix it, Adobe?

    I never experienced this problem in old versions. This problem is valid for 2021-2022-2023-2024 versions.

    I tested by installing all Indesign versions on my computer and found that the only problematic versions were versions 2021 and above.

    From the attached images, you can see the CPU usage of the 2020 version and the 2021 version. 2020 has no problems, but the 2021 version uses high processor idle.

16. open file multiple times

    19.0
    InDesign will open the same file multiple times. In the past, if you have a file open and accidentally double-click the file in the finder to open that same file, it'll just open the window that is already open. In the 19.0 update, it'll open multiple versions of the same file (only if the file is from a version pre 19.0 – pre-converted), which can create issues if changes are made to one file (and they aren't updated in the other). Version control nightmare!

18. Super heavy single page indesign file; add a purge button

    This single page file without any image or vector has 398 MB. How is it possible?

    I found a solutionL I exported a IDML file and then opened it on ?Indesign and saved a new INND. It worked.

    But it still: Indesign needs a "purge" button.

    You may find the file below

19. Fonts only showing in drop down, cannot type them directly in

    InDesign 18.5

    Issue:
    Highlight text
    Click on the font Window (mine is displayed on right)
    begin to type in installed or adobe font, font does not populate

    When I type in a font, I expect to be able to populate it

    Wen I try to finish typing the font in the searchbar, it doesn't let me type in the next letter and just gives me a different font. Some fonts don't show up or do once and never again, yet are in font dropdown. This includes both installed OTC and installed Adobe fonts.

20. Saving activates the scale tool next time…

    I've been encountering this for some time now. Might seem insignificant but can actually hinder workflow. When closing one InDesign file if the modal dialog appears and I hit 'S' on the keyboard to Save (rather than clicking) the next time I open an InDesign file the scale tool has become active. As I never use the scale tool, this can be a bit annoying if I don't spot it straight away
