Toolbars and palettes missing on startup
Since upgrading to Ventura I have no toolbars or palettes – the whole workspace in effect – every time I open InDesign. I can always get them back by switching to a different workspace and back but this happens every time I reopen it.
I have reset preferences and caches, reinstalled the software and removed plugins but nothing works.

After typing values in dialogue boxes, InDesign list panels unusable + Mouse click outside InDesign window not working
Hi all,
I have a persistent issue with scrolling some InDesign panel lists such as swatches, font list, font weight.
After I type any set value on a dialogue box (like font size, transparency, color tone, font spacing etc), some fundamental InDesign panels become unusable: list elements (swatches, fonts etc) slip away from mouse selection like they were anchored to cursor.
Mouse click outside InDesign window to desktop or other apps also doesn't work.
Functionality can be restored only by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Canc and then Esc.I attach a sample video of the issue:

zoom with touchpad windows
I would like you to make it possible to zoom with the fingers on the touchpad in Windows. It works in illustrator, but not in Indesign, at a PC, in Windows (only on Mac). Could you make this possible? It gives so much better control over the working process

Match pasteboard to screen color fails with dark theme under normal/preview
I have the pasteboard (Interface/Appearance/Color Theme) set to the darkest of dark, and I have Dark Mode on. (Ventura 13.3.3, InDesign 18.2.1). In Normal (w) file, it's the darkest color I selected, but when I switch to Preview, Bleed or Slug (w) the pasteboard turns a light gray. I don't see anything under preferences to correct this.

Opening a menu item such as preferences sets of the "error" sound in windows until the item is closed
When I open a menu item such as Print or Preferences or Export, windows begins making the "error" sound as if you clicked in an inappropriate spot. The sound continues until I close whatever menu item I opened. This only started with the update to InDesign 2023.

InDesign stops reacting to paste, export and save commands!
This happens sometimes even several times a day! There's no trigger to this that I can detect.

frozen
The screen does not update/move when zooming or scrolling the pages. The rulers indicate that I am moving between pages in the document, but the screen stays frozen on one page. After clicking and opening menus a number of times, the screen eventually updates. This happens intermittently, on various documents, no matter the complexity/file-size. Indesign is up-to-date.

Hover Scrolling Disabling
PLEASE introduce an option to disable hover scrolling on selection. If I have selected a text box and want to scroll down to align options in Properties, I always end up changing the leading, language, font, etc. I don't know anyone that would want to use hover scrolling to make those changes. Maybe click and drag like the other apps would work. Please look into this issues as it has been years and this has not been fixed.

macOS menu bar covers InDesign title bar (multi-screen setup)
When running multiple screens connected to my MacBook Pro (14-inch, M1 Pro), InDesign's title bar will frequently get stuck under the macOS menu bar on the built-in screen, making it impossible to move the window either to another screen or within the built-in screen. I have to arrange the screens so the built-in screen is slightly above the others (even though it's below them physically) to get the title bar visible so I can move it.
Interestingly, this phenomenon only occurs on the built-in screen. It's likely that InDesign doesn't know how to handle the macOS menu bar being taller…

WordsFlow
When deciding against using WordsFlow plugin by EmSoftware, not renewing from trial license, it continued not only to be on the main FILE menu but it also is preventing normal (InDesign) placing of graphic files into InDesign files by a popup window asking for license renewal information. If I cancel that window, it cancels the PLACE... operation. In other words, WordsFlow does not extricate itself from the program even if no longer using and registered AND after uninstalling from the Windows APP utility, BUT it continues to interfere with normal InDesign operation.

BUG: nothing shows when first opening a file until you click on the page
Newer small bug but updates have not fixed this. When opening a file, especially a placed indd file inside a indd file, the page is blank until you click on the page. Not a huge issue but very strange as some may just sit there and wait without clicking.

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…

Spinning Beach Ball appears every time I try to highlight text
- InDesign 18.0
- Seems just clicking with the Text Tool gets a spinning ball. Even worse if I try to highlight after clicking. 30-60 second wait. 3, Expect to highlight text as in the past.
- Once the ball stops spinning, maybe one character has been highlighted.

Tried resetting preferences. No change.
Checked for corrupted fonts and removed. No change. (I'm using fonts from TypeKit, which don't appear to be installed in FontBook.)
Uninstalled InDesign. Shut down computer. Reinstalled InDesign.
Checked for corrupted file. (Saved copy. No change. Saved to imdl. No change.)
Tried opening file on different computer. Same…2 votes -
Paragraph panel very slow to open
InDesign v. 18.0 / working on Macbook Pro, macOS Ventura 13.0.1
Help! When I click on the Paragraph tools panel, it takes about 3 seconds for it to open. Other panels (characters, styles, swatches, etc.) open immediately.
This is a new issue with this version of InDesign. Is there something I can do to fix this?
