InDesign does not appear in Windows Task Manager when restarted after a crash
When InDesign freezes or crashes (which happens pretty frequently), I go to Windows Task Manager and end the task. When I reopen InDesign, InDesign does open and has the autosaves of all my ID documents open, but InDesign does not appear in Windows Task Manager at all.
This is a problem because usually whatever caused InDesign to freeze/hang the first time will occur again very quickly, but this time I can't end the task. Nor can I end the task if anything else goes wrong. The only way to fix this is to restart the computer to force all applications…

InDesign display shift problems
- Version: InD 17.3 x64, in Windows 10 Enterprise, Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-10885M CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz, 128GB RAM. I'm halfway wondering if having the system's display scaling set to 125% is disagreeing with the InD app....
- Steps causing issue: Make edits on a page with text frames and placed graphics.
- Expectation: Layout items render normally.
- Result: Sections of layout display shift by several pixels, creating broken display of layout. Uploading mild examples (part of top edge of graphic has shifted; section of edges of frames has shifted). Often lines of text are half cut off by the effect. Can happen…

No multicore, no gpu support this is RIDICULOUS
Okay hear me out, I know for a fact this has been brought up I know.
However in 2022 a multinational company doesn't support multicore and gpu performance for windows this is just insane, it's the biggest F U to the community.
How I'm supposed to work on anything if my performance is garbage with VERY FEW OBJECTS, now you might say ah yes just press typical performance or fast perfomance if your pc is struggling. I have a proper pc (i9 9900k, 32gb ram, rtx 2080) really if this gear STRUGGLES with TEXT editing I'm speachless, for the sake…4 votes -
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.

arbeitsbereich erweitert
Hallo,
leider habe ich im Indesign CC, aktuelle Version auf Win10 - 64 Bit, immer wieder das Problem dass Indesign beim Neustart bzw. Start einer bestehenden Indesign-Datei keinen Arbeitsbereich lädt.
Wie kann eine Einstellung treffen dass der Arbeitsbereich (z.B. Erweitert) automatisch mit jedem Start von Indesign oder Öffnen einer bestehenden Indesign Datei geladen wird.2 votes -
High CPU usage
High CPU usage on Win 10 (Asus NB) since version 17. Still remains (after many updates, 17.3 included). Not usable software.
So I'm using version 16, and there is no problem with CPU.

gpu
Graphics Card not being used on macOS.
I am using a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) with AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB, however the GPU is never being used (according to activity monitor).
Within Indesign, the GPU is detected, and the GPU-Performance is enabled.The performance is really bad and many times the CPU maxes out at 100%, which makes sense because the dedicated GPU is never utilised.
But why? Shouldn't this work?

excessive processor usage
Noisy fans due to the very high occupation of the processor, even without any open document!

Can't Click/Drag Large Area of Main Title Bar
This was introduced in 17.0 and I was hoping it would be fixed by 17.3 but it hasn't been addressed.
Large areas of the title bar can't be clicked on/interacted with so one can't drag/move the main program window.
I'd say about 50% of the title bar is like this.

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…
1 voteIn Preferences dialog > Advanced Type, there is an option at the bottom called 'Show Adornment...'
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 -
Opening a file with missing fonts freezes InDesign
Opening a file that has missing fonts freezes InDesign for a minute or so. Every document with missing fonts does this. If I manually activate the font and then try opening the same document again, there is no freeze.
InDesign 17.2.1, macOS Monterey (latest)
My coworker is on Catalina and has the same freeze too.8 votesFix for this issue is now available in the latest release of InDesign 2022 - that is, InDesign 17.4 version.
Please update to this version to get the fix.

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.
