1. 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.

2. 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 it fixed yet?

   Touch screen on Windows can be disabled by following the steps mentioned on this page by Microsoft:

   https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enable-and-disable-your-touchscreen-in-windows-b774e29d-be94-990f-c20f-e02892e572fc

6. Overlapping type in "Recents" window

   The "recents" window that shows after all Indesign documents are closed often displays overlapping text under the images making it unreadable.

8. 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 been persistent for many versions though.

9. 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 . . .

10. 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)

11. 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 …

12. 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)

17. 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.

20. 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.
