freezing in Indesign version 16.2.1
Hi all
I was working on a very important file yesterday morning using Indesign version 16.2.1 on PC window 10 and was linking images to the file when my indesign just froze. I've been having issues since where it takes for ever if at all to open any indesign file. At one stage it didn't recover my file so a message came up to ask if I wanted to recovery it....what ever option I chose I was left with Indesign unable to still function properly. (I had also renamed files incase the file was corrupt) Also noticed when force quiting…

ID will crash on awake (MacOS)
Adobe InDesign, for the last two, three versions (current 16.2.1), will crash 100% of the time when the Mac comes back from sleep mode. I'm running MacOS 10.15.7 on two separate Macs (iMac 2020 and an over Mac Book Pro), both with plenty or RAM, and this will happen 100% of the time on both systems. I've reported this several times but when you issue a new update to "fix bugs" this one persists.

Read Only - Save Issue - Indesign 16.1 05/05/21 Update
Indesign is very again now very Sluggish. But getting very annoying Read Only Save issues when working with Books and single files over a network. Only remedy is to save to Desktop and replace files. This is potentially very dangerous and could create very expensive mistakes.

The number on the Image Place Thumbnail is not correct
It should reflect the number of images 'in' the cursor. But its 1 too high.
When 2 images are loaded, it shows 3.

ID 2021 (16.1) slow performance with all palettes open
Running ID 2021 (16.1) on MacPro (2019) 3.3 Ghz / 192Gb / AMD Radeon Pro W5700X 16 Gb / MacOS 10.15.7.
So, I would like to report a bug related to the palettes in ID. I run a 2 monitor setup with my work on one screen and all my ID palettes on on the second screen. I have run this way for 10+ years. This has always been OK until I moved from InDesign 2019 (14.0.3) to ID 2021 (16.1) 2 months ago.
The performance of ID 16.1 is unacceptably slow. It is as if you have a really…

Indesign/LTS version (15.1.3) don't update font menu accordingly system registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Fonts)
Editoriale Domus Spa
My enviroment: InDesign LTS version 15.1.3 (mandatory) - InCopy LTS version 15.1.3 (mandatory) - Extensis UTC 7.0.10 (mandatory) - clients OS Windows 10/MacOS Mojave- Font family OTF/TTF.Fonts get activated, then again so that theindesign/incopy document refreshes and detects the fonts but unfortunately this could result in significantly longer loading times for large files and other unexpected performance issues.
The fonts are active for the whole system (reg query "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\fonts)
and app., Bloc Notes for example.I have opened tickets with Extensis. Here is the answer after testing in their environment

Indesign freezes and/or crashes when opening hyperlinks panel
Indesign freezes and/or crashes when opening hyperlinks panel. It does usually eventually unfreeze but this can take up to 20+ minutes. I'm running Indesign 2021 Creative Cloud on a Mac, release 16.1.
- Open a document with existing links
- Click on the hyperlinks panel
- Freezes
- Either I force quit or it unfreezes, depending on how long it's been frozen.

Place dialog slow to refresh file list
If you save an image or two from Photoshop, then go back to InDesign and choose Place... the file list in the Place dialog box takes a few seconds to update before you can see them. This is despite the fact that those image files are fully saved and showing in the Finder.

Find/Change
Sometimes it seems that the FIND-dialog box is not opening. I had to restart my Mac mini m1. Then the function came back. Just restarting inDesign did not help.

turn off Touch workspace!
Can Adobe PLEASE stop making the Touch workspace compulsory every time the app launches. Not all users want this. We didn't ask Adobe to turn off our usual interface and replace it with a Touch version.
When we have to go through the mandatory 'hey this is new examples' EVERY TIME just to get into the app, only to have to turn it off by choosing "essentials" (top right) EVERY TIME we launch the app, it becomes a major pain.
Who on earth at Adobe throught this would be a good idea? Surely this is just a bug? Why isn't…

Hope that is helpful.

Command + N doesn't work for New Document
For some unknown reason CMD + N has stopped working as a shortcut for a new document. In the File menu, it says it's programmed as a shortcut, but it doesn't work. I reset the shortcut and it temporarily works. If I open INDD and reset the shortcut, then it'll work when I use it. But if I close INDD and then try Cmd +N, it won't work. I've reset it numerous times. I've lost count of how many times INDD has updated. And nothing fixes this problem.
Currently working on the latest version of INDD (16.1). This problem has…
