Stalling
Within the last couple weeks, Indesign has been acting very glitchy for me. I've never had these problems before, but when I open a document the application seems to stall for a bit. This is happening in all my documents (so it isn't one file that is the issue). Indesign doesn't ever crash, but seems to get hung up within the first couple minutes of use.

subscription status.
I get the following message at random times when launching InDesign - I do not have issues when launching other Adobe Products and I can have PS open and launch ID and still get this issue so I have to believe that this is a issue with ID.

cannot scroll to preview corner options
InDesign 16.3 CC download, Win64: In previous versions of InDesign I could select a text or image box, open the 'corner options' drop-down list, and arrow/scroll through the options to preview the effect of each on the selected box. In InDesign CC, I can arrow through the list but no previews are shown on the selected box. Instead, it takes 12 clicks to re-open and select each of the six options. I have posted this problem in the community, with responses from Bill Silbert and Steve Werner. They concur that it's an InDesign/Windows Bug.

CC Library panel freezes and is unusable until InDesign is re-launched
In the last update or perhaps the one prior, the CC Library panel freezes and is unusable. You can't select anything, search for anything, or change libraries.
Closing the panel and opening it again has no affect.
The only workaround is to quit and re-launch InDesign. The panel will then work for a time but will freeze again at some point.
This horrendous bug is in addition to a new annoying one where you can't drag and drop a graphic from the document INTO the CC Library panel to add it. You have to select the graphic, then click the…

FontExplorer Error
Hi -
Everything's been working great for months, but after updating to InDesign 16.3.2 recently, I started getting the error message attached and am not sure why. It's also functioning fine in my other Adobe apps.
"Could not start FontExplorer X Pro because it could not be found or the license file is missing"
FEX 7.2.6 (build 20687)
InDesign plugin 3.5.6
InDesign 16.3.2
macOS 10.15.7 (19H1323)I'm not entirely sure if it's an InDesign or FEX issue, but have reported the issue to Monotype as well.
Thanks!

Guides Not Working
Guides simply do not work. I've used InDesign since it was created and no matter what I do sometimes guides work in this latest version sometimes they don't even within the same document on different pages. No solution to date. I'm running iMac 4k Catalina version. 10.15.7
3.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5.16.3.2

InDesign lags MacOS Catalina when using a screen profile other than sRGB
Reminder for Adobe not to forget this bug.

Keyboard Intermittently disabled after opening file
In InDesign 16.2.1, often when I open files it's like the keyboard shortcuts are disabled. I hit Ctrl+A to select all, or I select something and hit the delete key and nothing happens. I have to close the file, but not InDesign, and then re-open it to make things work correctly.

BUG : Red panels and shifted elements
It appears randomly, often when I open a second ID file, the first opened get some red panels and all the elements are shifted.
The only way to solve this for now is to close the document and reopen it.Here is the link to the ticket on Adobe Support Community I made earlier (it contains a video showing what is happening) : https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/indesign-v-16-2-1-display-bug-shifted-elements/m-p/12053732#M430155

InDesign 16.2.1 completely broken (Big Sur)
16.2.1 completely broken/unusable on Big Sur. View continually jumps around and fractures, whether you're interacting with the program or not. The moment you zoom/drag to the view you want, it jumps and fractures to another view. Had to revert.

InDesign 16.1 and MAcOS 11.3 Big Sur
After the update to Big Sur, InDesign is very slow, the cursors have delays to change states. Very difficult to work with.

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…

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:

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 https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/lines-appearing-in-effects-shadow-amp-gradient/m-p/11912229#M419035

shift to constrain and option-drag to copy only working intermittently now
- InDesign 16.1
- In a document, select an object. Then hold shift and scale the object. Or hold option and drag to copy the object.
- When holding shift, I expect constrained proportions. When holding Option, I expect a copy.
- 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.
- I can't show a test because I can't show…

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....

last window size unremembered when application frame turned off
InDesign on Mac 16.102 will not remember last open document size when Application Frame is turned off. When no document is currently open and I want to open a new document it always fills the entire space on my monitor between the tools on the left and the pallets on the right. I have to manually drag the new document window to the size I want. It's not convenient and user friendly! If the Application frame is turned on - it WILL remember. But as a Mac user I want that frame turned off - like it used to be.
