High resolutiom
DEAR ADOBE!
I have a problem with Indesign that can not display images in high-resolution-mode.
All pictures turn black and striped. The problem started after upgrading to Monteray 12.4
I have already been in contact with your support via chat for two hours.
It looked promising, but when they then restarted my computer via remote control,
I lost contact with you and have not been able to give feedback since.
I am VERY disappointed and want help with this as soon as possible with someone who speaks
Swedish. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE / MARIA1 vote -

InDesign running very slow while using Google Drive on macOS Monterey
I am using InDesign CC 2022 (v17.3.0.61 Apple Silicon supported) with Google Drive for desktop (59.0.3.0 Apple Silicon supported) on a MacBook Air (M1, 2020) and macOS Monterey 12.4 (21F79).
Google Drive uses the File Provider API supported by macOS Monterey 12.3 and later, but when the CPU usage of the macOS fileproviderd process increases, InDesign runs very slowly. Even mouse clicks on objects, menus, panels, etc. take tens of seconds from input to acceptance.
When the Google Drive file sync completes or pause, InDesign returns to its original behavior a short time later as the load on the fileproviderd…

InDesign responsiveness is very slow
All the adobe apps are working fine aside from InDesign. It keeps on crashing when I am working and when it is not, the response is so slow. Tried to re-install but did not really help at all.

Arabic Support Was Suddenly Removed
My default install language is English with Arabic support. InDesign was working normally until I changed a preference setting (disabled Hindi Digits) in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. It was the only change I recently made to any Adobe-related app. I had to reinstall the app to fix the issue.

"O" button popup is blocking use of small text box anchorpoint.
This problem happens when attempting to resize small rectangle text boxes (smaller than .9") with the bottom/center anchorpoint. When clicking directly on the anchorpoint, instead of being able to drag it up or down to resize, a small pop-up box appears by the "O" symbol that has a check box for "All Small Caps." this disallows me to resize. I'm not clicking the "O." I'm clicking directly on the bottom/center anchorpoint.
This problem affects my workflow every time I use Indesign. I have to instead use the top anchorpoint and reposition. Please reconfigure where the "O" button appears on a…

Uncheck this option to stop showing "O" on selected Text Frame.
Hope you'll find it useful.

April 2022 update opens in unusable display mode. CRITICAL
InDesign 2022 (April) opens in "restore" screensize, but it's entirely off screen (top left). There is no way to adjust the "restore" screen size and position.
This "restore" problem has been present for many years, but now InDesign not only forgets the restore position and size, it uses uninitialized values and is impossible to use.
The "maximize" size icon is just visible on my UHD display (top left) so I can make InDesign go full screen -- but on a 50" UHD display I need an ADJUSTABLE app size. So now this latest result makes the whole program very inconvenient…1 vote -
The wrong InDesign version is started.
- InDesign 16.4.2; 17.2.1 for PC
- try to open indd file or idml file
- InDesign 17.2.1 should start
- InDesign 16.4.2 is starting
- …
I have two versions of InDesign installed on my Windows computer, versions 16 and 17. After automatically patching the older version to 16.4.2 today, all .indd and .idml files open with the older version instead of the new one. My attempts to manually change this setting keep getting overwritten, I suspect by the creative-cloud software. Is there any way to change the setting?

Preview glitches.
ID 17.2.1
Zooming in/out in a document sometimes displays glitches/artifacts that block the view of the actual design.
Moving the window or dragging the document around the pasteboard fixes the issue; still, it's annoying because it blocks one from working properly.1 vote -
hyphenation not working properly in English
first, why can't I use a snipping file here? Neither .jpg or .png will work - your site denies these file types.
My hyphenation is really out of whack. If you look at the first line of text, it's crazy that it's wrapping the 1, for WW1 to the next line. If I add the No Break from the Character panel, it moves "World War" down to the second line.

User Interface half in English (default) and half in Russian
When I go to my drop-down menu one of them is in Russian.
The only issue I have found is with the dropdown under Type (English) > Text Variable (English) > Insert Veriable (Russian). Only in Russian on some documents I open, not all.
I updated my InDesign to v 17.21 today.

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.

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…

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

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.
