1. text wrap controls behave different with transformed objects

   InDesign 16.1v64
   Text Wrap controls behave different with transformed objects.
   At first I was going to report this as a bug and saw one other post where they were having the same issue but then I realized what is really going on so I'm making a suggestion.
   Look at the Text Wrap for an Image object with the controls unlinked.
   I was seeing the bottom control affecting the right side. And the Right side control affecting another side.
   After some research I realized this was only happening on the images I'd imported and rotated 90 degrees.
   Say there are two images sitting on the page and one was rotated but the other not.
   And we want to adjust the text flow around them by playing with the text wrap controls. The controls work as expected with one but not the other. On that one they reflect the rotated state of the image. If you did not know the image is rotated, or forgot, you tear your hair out trying to figure out what is going on.
   The controls should reflect the orientation on the screen. Up is always Up, Right is Right, Left is Left, Down is Down. No abstracting to rotated states required.
   Please consider making this a Fix.
   Thank you for reading this far . . .

2. copy

   Holding down "option" on the keyboard and then dragging a graphic or text box to copy and paste where you'd like it to go no longer works. The cursor changes as if it's going to copy/paste, however, it will just drag the original graphic/text box without copying it. I have to physically hit cmd + c and cmd + v and then it will paste wherever it wants to go in the document to get something to copy and paste. This is really frustrating when trying to design documents with a lot of the same elements in different formats. This has been an issue since updating to InDesign 2021 (16.1)

3. no correct hyphenation of German words with dashes

   In German we have many terms consisting of two or more words with dashes in between. Everybody would hyphenate these naturally behind the dashes. InDesign is unable to do so, but suggests multiple wrong or ugly hyphenations and leaves the dashes as if they were non-breaking hyphens, which they are not! I know this problem since several years. I had it in CS5 and 6 as well as in every later version and today in InDesign 2020.
   For example: In cookbooks there are often intermediate products consisting of two or more ingredients. Some (artificial) examples:
   Das Mehl mit dem Kakaopulver, dem Backpulver und 1/4 TL Salz mischen und unter das Ei-Butter-Gemisch rühren. Die Mehl-Aprikosen-Flüssigkeit unterrühren. Die Eigelbe wie im Grundrezept beschrieben unter die Butter-Zucker-Mischung rühren. Ein Drittel Eischnee mit dem Mehl-Backpulver-Ansatz unterrühren, dann die restliche Ei-Bananen-Milch mit einem Holzkochlöffel vorsichtig unterheben.
   „Butter-Zucker-Mischung“ everybody would preferably and correctly hyphenate (\) like this: Butter-\Zucker-\Mischung, but InDesign produces only something ugly and devious like But\ter-Zu\cker-Mi\schung and so to speak considers both dashes as non-breaking hyphen. My only solution each time is manual hyphenation or an own entry in the user dictionary. The effort is too much because it happens too often.
   In German you can combine nouns arbitrarily and optionally separate them with dashes, so that the text is more clear and comprehensible. As the given combinations of nouns vary all the time it is an unnacceptable effort to define a hyphenation exception for every one of them in the user dictionary. InDesign just has to acknowledge that hyphenating directly behind the dash(es) is the first choice instead of simply wrong!
   I cannot imagine that a general rule like this would create a problem in other languages and different contexts. Hyphenation directly behind the dash(es) is always by far the most aesthetic solution.
   The problem does not only affect cookbooks. There are millions of possible cases, such as: Stephen-King-Filme, Agatha-Christie-Romane, Freund-Feind-Erkennung, Ein-Aus-Schalter, Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, Tag-Nacht-Schaltung, Willy-Brandt-Allee (along with thousands of other street names), Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität …

4. Hairlines/artifacts randomly appearing on screen

   1) InDesign 16.1 (and othre versions)

   2) Place an image or object. Apply a drop shadow. Pan/scroll, zoom, enable or dissable output preview

   3) Consistent rendering.

   4) Glitches of bands of light or dark pixels may appear over images, in transparencies and effects. These may come and go depending on resolution preview mode, zoom and/or if overprint preview is rendered. (The lines are similar to tiling lines in PDFx1a in that they are rendering glitches presumably caused by floating point calculations)

   See the thread "community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/lines-appearing-in-effects-shadow-amp-gradient/m-p/11912229#M419035"

9. InDesign v 16.1, Mac OS 11.2.3 on M1 laptop. Adobe Typekit does not consistently load fonts into InDesign.

   Please check the Typekit usage and activation in InDesign. This is a huge problem that is slowing me down. I am trying to load Freight Neo Pro and it is missing intermittently from my files. Other fonts from Typekit have also done the same thing. I also use Suitcase Fusion to manage my own installed Fonts.

12. Disable cross-references

    InDesign is far too slow when you have too many cross-references in a single document - and by too many I mean not many at all (I have 30 in one of mine, and the document grinds to a halt all the time). Whilst opening every single document that is references helps a bit, this is far from a satisfactory solution. At a minimum it should be possible to disable cross-references whenever you want, to avoid the performance hit. It would also be a good idea to fix the cross-references issue completely, so that cross-references are not constantly being updated all the time.

13. Balance Columns leads to severe performance issues

    Whenever I have longer text documents with multiple columns I want to use "Balance Columns" to make it, well, better.

    However, whenever I start using Balance Columns in my documents I always run into severe performance issues.

    Example: Right now I have a document of ~100 pages (one text flow). I have not enabled "Balance Columns" on all pages due to performance (and the fact that another bug prevents you from doing this from the master page), so I have manually enabled it on a page-by-page basis for pages I feel need it (I'd much rather just turn it on for the whole flow).

    On many of the pages where the frame is using "balance columns" it is literally laggy to type text into the text box - even if the changes are so minor it shouldn't make other pages reflow, yet it feels like it's reflowing all 100 pages for each letter i type... Temporarily turning off "balance columns" while making text changes makes it responsive (but then I don't see the end result).

    Attempting to import PDF comments, and just clicking "accept" on simple single-word replacements were so slow on "balance column" pages that it the PDF comments panel literally started to bug out (not correctly updating comments to "accepted" after accepting). Again, even if the changes are so small they should not affect any other pages. And balancing two columns on one page should effectively be instant, not take several seconds for every text edit.

    There is something bad going on with "balance columns" performance-wise (at least for longer documents) and you need to have a closer look at it. I don't know what's causing it. Is it footnotes? Keep Options? I don't have time to troubleshoot.

    Ps: Adobe FrameMaker don't even blink when we have 500-page documents with balanced columns and make major edits to the text causing everything to move. So it should be possible to make "balance columns" responsive.

14. library panels display

    the background color of the library panels in Indesign and Illustrator take on the same color of the interface (as from the latest version of indesign CC 16.1) As I have the dark interface selected, the icons and other assets are almost invisible. There is no way to change it, switching to the light interface is the only thing that helps.

16. shift to constrain and option-drag to copy only working intermittently now

    1. InDesign 16.1
    2. In a document, select an object. Then hold shift and scale the object. Or hold option and drag to copy the object.
    3. When holding shift, I expect constrained proportions. When holding Option, I expect a copy.
    4. Both key modifiers work perfectly in Illustrator, so it's not my keyboard nor my Mac. What I get when holding shift is the same as not holding shift - unconstrained proportions. What I get when holding option is the same as with not holding option - the object is just moved, not copied.
    5. I can't show a test because I can't show you when the shift or option key is pressed.

    I should clarify the intermittent part of my title. It seems that if I keep at it long enough, keep option-dragging, or shift-scaling, at some point InDesign wakes up and the key combination kicks in. But that's crazy. This is still a productivity killer. Please fix!

17. Duplicating Page with Alt + Drag Not Working Anymore

    I cant duplicate pages anymore using alt + dragging.

    Alt dragging the page to the side still works (so that the newly duplicated page appears at the end).
    But when I try to duplicate it to a specific location it just moves the page and does not duplicate it.

    This is really annoying....

18. Overprint Preview switches off when viewing Story Editor

    I view the InDesign file in Overprint Preview.
    I then need to check some text that isn't quite visible on the page.
    Select the text frame and view it in Story Editor so I can ensure it matches what was supplied.
    Once you do this - Overprint Preview switches off.

19. Undo reverts to last save

    I'm using InDesign 2021 version 16.1, macOS version. Recently (maybe since the last update) it lost the regular undo ability. Instead of undoing by steps, it undoes all steps since the last save.

    It is similar to the issue reported with InDesign 2020 (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38991835-undo-not-working-properly-in-indesign-2020), but the bug persists in the current version even though it is reported as 'Fixed' in that thread.

    This happens every time when using Undo (Command-Z). It reverts to the last saved state. In the case that a document has been saved multiple times, it appears each press of Undo goes back to the previous save. (So if you have saved a document 3 times, you have 3 undo states, even though there may be 15 or 40 or 100 changes.) This happens even with a blank, newly created document.

    I am also experiencing lots of crashes (seemingly random, even when not interacting with the app), which is also new. But this thread is about the undo bug.
