Bugs with GPU, Bugs without GPU (zoom, moving objects, create text)
(Working on Adobe InDesign 14.0.2.)
Hi there,
so for a couple of weeks, my Indesign behaves quite badly.
For demonstration purposes, I created a new blank file but these bugs also occur in existing work projects.Case 1: GPU switched on (Image: GPU on):
Zooming does not show any effect, only when I click in and change something. The rulers change, but my board/document is not zooming in (Video: Zooming with GPU). As soon as I found my page, the objects don't really move that well, more in a lagging, stocking way. (Video: Moving Objects with GPU).This leads to…

properties panel tab order for changing document size
In the properties panel, please change the tab order for document size/number of pages.
When typing new dimensions for a document I would expect to type the new width for the layout and press tab to then type the new height for the layout, instead, tab takes you to number of pages!
Madness!!!
The number of times I have gone to resize a document and changed the width to a new measurement and then added 594 new pages instead of altering the new height to 594mm.

Programs hangs after having selected a text and then opening the font drop down list.
After having selected some text and then opening the drop down font menu, the program starts doing an infinte number of calculations and never stops (the CPU core being used is maxed and remains like that).
FFS hire someone who can fix it.. its been ages.

after indesign is open I try to open a 2nd file; it attempts to open another instance of indesign (but I only have license for 1 station)
When I already have Indesign open, I try clicking (within windows file explorer) on an Indesign file in an attempt to open it. When I do this an attempt is made to open another instance of Indesign instead of opening the file with the instance of Indesign already open. I only have a license for 1 station of Indesign and so the new instance of Indesign crashes. The result is I am unable to open the Indesign file this way when always before I was able to.

excel sheet names
InDesign doesn't show named cell ranges for excel sheet tabs that start with a number. If the sheet name starts with a number the named cell ranges on that sheet will not show up in the import drop down.

print dialog offset greyed out
The offset, gap and transverse options in the Setup section of the Print Dialog are not greyed out and so available. I tried various document presents, print presets and printers - and no matter what settings are selected these features remain greyed out. I cannot find in help pages or anywhere online how to activate this feature. Please help or fix.

InDesign Is Still Unusably Slow
Despite this forum being filled with "solved" reports of InDesign being unusably slow, it remains so.
I am editing a 4 page document that is almost all text, and yet I get the spinning ball after each and every keystroke. It can take 5-10 seconds just to complete typing a word, and heaven help me if I make a mistake and need to backspace.I just updated InDesign this morning so I am on 14.0.2. I'm running Windows 10 1903. The machine is an MSI laptop with an i7 processor and 12GB of RAM.
I have attempted to edit the…

InD responding slowly
This isn't a "bug" per se, but InD has slowed to a crawl when using. Doesn't matter if I am trying to select text, change tools, or click on a menu item. It's been going very slow for a while now, doesn't matter the file. I have tried to trash preferences and reinstall InD, and nothing has changed it. Oh, and I just have major lag, not a spinning ball.
I am Win10, InD CC 14.0.2. The only plug-in I am running is Suitcase Fusion, and that is up to date as well.
Help please, as InDesign is unusable at…

Smart Grid feature not working properly. Green lines don't appear showing alignment with object's previous location
As the title says, when I move an object, the temporary green smart grid lines do not appear to show whether I am in alignment with the object's previous position. I noticed this when I was trying to replicate the 3rd video titled "Align and group content" in the "Edit Content" tutorial.

CC library window reappears when adding new paragraph style
Please stop the CC library pane appearing every time a new paragraph style is created. Seems to be a bug as there's no clear relationship between the features.

Smart folder (Mac) not showing items
When trying to place a file with "File/Place", smart folders in the file browser do not load any items to select from. Same also with image relinks.
Strangely the same thing with "File/Save as" works fine.2 votes -
InDesign totally unusable for large threaded tables after 2015 version
Using Windows 10 Pro, high end computer (Ryzen 1800X, 32Gb RAM, NVMe SSD, 1080Ti)
Create an Excel file with 8000 rows of random data, place into InDesign with as unformatted table.
Use shift-click to create pages and thread the table to each page.
Try to scroll without InDesign freezing for 30 seconds. I can't.

- Cleaning preferences / logging on different username to have a fresh profile
- Using a different computer
- Turning off preflight
- Using fast display performance
- Change the composer away from world ready, trying single line instead of paragraph

"paragraph style options" window size
Paragraph Style Options window opens bigger than my screen (regardless of the size screen I'm working on) and there is no way to resize the window or set the default size of the window? In order to work with Paragraph Styles, I am constantly having to move the window around so I can see all the options there, then move it again to see the preview in my document.
WHY CAN'T WE RESIZE THIS WINDOW? There's no reason it needs to be this large; most of the space is blank.

InDesign CC 2019 No search results when trying to place a file
When I try to place a file in InDesign CC 2019 (or ANY CC 2019 app) and I enter text in the search box to find my file it defaults to "my Mac" instead of the folder I want it to search. Then when I select the folder I want to search it yields no results even though I KNOW there is a file there containing that word in the name. The folder I want it to search is on a remote server. I have tried to reindex the remote server in Spotlight (by adding it to the privacy tab…

Type Tool Flicker
Specs:
InDesign CC2018 (13.1)
Mac Pro Late 2013
Mac OS Mojave (10.14.3)
64 GB RAM
AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB
Any document when first opened will blink the document window (not the entire screen - just the document) when clicking into a frame with the Type tool.
It occurs one time only then the remainder of work on that document is fine.
Open another document, issue reoccurs.
Double-clicking a text frame with the Selection tool will not blink and take you into the text frame without issue.
I've reset ID Prefs, removed all third party plugins and zapped my PRAM…

Menu Items Opens Webpage to Buy InDesign
Indesign CC 2019
Multiple clicks on menu items with the same results.
When clicking on menu items the menu item should appear.
When clicking on Type>Tabs, About InDesign opens a webpage (see attached) to buy Indesign. Each menu item goes to the same webpage. First time I have had this happen.2 votes -
InDesign performance is ****
The actual performance of InDesign is, speaking gently, ****. I really don't know how you can release such a buggy version. I'm doing nothing on my machine except writing this text and InDesign is using more than 500 % of my CPU and the fan of my graphic card is going nuts!
Calling the actual version "production ready" is a joke. I am really disappointed about Adobe. The only program actually which is really good and performing is XD.

Placed Illustrator files do not show transparency correctly on GPU Preview
When placing an .ai file with transparency, the file renders without any alpha channel at all in GPU Preview. Switch to CPU Preview, and the .ai files render correctly. Transparency should be shown in both modes, right?
