Printing Number 10 Envelope - Left side of envelope margins are not respected
When envelope media is selected, I lose some of the leftmost characters. If I only change the media to letter(8.5x11 inch) media, the characters appear as expected.

spelling
Hi, I just want you to reach out for me to the Developer team and Interface Design team of InDesign. Please tell them, that the spelling function on InDesign should undergo major improvements. It literally sucks. I've been using InDesign since 2007, and the web application, basically any, like Google, deepL, Grammarl, I think even OpenOffice... are much better. So in this matter, InDesign was never the first choice, more like the last.
-The first major problem it is very counter-intuitive to turn it on and make it work.

Stop adding the word "Folder" to packaged file names.
Stop adding the word "Folder" to packaged files. My folder names are already long enough and I can tell by the icon that my end product is a folder without it ending in the word "Folder." Would be thrilled if you removed this automatic addition from InDesign.

Bug: overwriting embedded objects with not embedded ones keeps them imbedded
Indesign CC 2022, v17.
Steps to reproduce :
1. open two documents which have the same linked file (image) embedded
2. edit the image outside of ID.
3. relink the file in one of two documents, so it becomes unembedded
4. copy the unembedded file to the other document, overwriting the same, but still embedded object/image.Exprect result: the object in the target document should not be embedded anymore and it should be up-to-date.
What happens: depending on how the files is placed (inside a table cell or not) ID will only mark it as "it has been changed" by…

Latest Indesign Slowdown on M1 Chip
I am on the Macbook M1 Air with 16.2 and still experiencing random slowdowns when editing text, moving images, all the basic functions of InDesign.
I have removed all Adobe CC apps, removed all plugins, used a cleaner. I am now running the latest clean Silicon version of InDesign and experiencing the same issues.
I turned off GPU enhancements as folks recommended, which helped, but it still shows the beachball from time to time whenever I try a simple task.

[ID-4239165]InDesign fails to open or place files with long paths in Windows
InDesign fails to open or place files with long paths in Windows. The "Long Paths Enabled" registry setting is enabled (i.e. it is set to 1). The problem affects several functions:
From Bridge, Place > In Indesign causes "Script Alert: Error: Expected a reference to an existing File/Folder"
DataMerge in InDesign: images with long paths are skipped, i.e. aren't merged. There is no error message.
From InDesign. I cannot manually place a file with a long path through the “Place” dialog box. The dialog box will display the folder and thumbnails, but when I click the image to place it,…
8 votesThe fix for this issue is now available in the latest update of InDesign – version 18.3 and above.
Please update to this version to get the fix.

dropbox links
Indesign use to be smart enough to know that links are from dropbox and looks for the my dropbox folder and not the link path that goes all the way to the drive name.
But lately every time I open a file from a team member, I have to relink ever file manually.

Color Settings change to Emulate InDesign 2.0
Color Mode changes from whatever is set in InDesign when switching app from Adobe Photoshop to InDesign (latest versions) ... I am getting the same problem when switching from Photoshop to the latest Illustrator as well.
Problem Occurs even when InDesign (and Illustrator) are both shut down. After launching Photoshop and then shutting Photoshop down, Color Settings in InDesign and Illustrator are both changed to "Emulate".
PLEASE FIX IMMEDIATELY!!!! THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM and impacts my workflow horribly as I am back-and-forth between these applications regularly.
I have checked Bridge as well... and default is set to North American…

Shared CC Library
The WHOLE purpose of a "SHARED CC LIBRARY" is to be able to keep a single and universal source of truth for EVERY element within the library across all uses of the element – on all files.
There is an issue achieving this.
When I add an illustrator file to the CC Shared Library from within Indesign, and I go to edit that element, it:
Opens a new InDesign file, where you can make the change,
save the change, and the change is displayed on the thumbnail of the shared element, and does in fact update the shared element.HOWEVER....

Uservoice page bug
The uservoice page, when posting or updating an idea/bug report would not accept attachments where the extension is in capital letters, such as the Windows Snipping tool would save them when creating screenshots. Means, a file with appendix *.PNG is not accepted, but one with *.png is.
That's stupid programming!

imported excel number spaces are replaced with an 'Ê' on Mac
I'm on a Macbook pro M1, working on an InDesign file. I get some XLSX files with tables containing numbers in them, and when I place them into my document, all spaces between numbers are replaced with an 'Ê'.
e.g. 123 456 789 will be placed as 123Ê456Ê789.
I've asked someone to test it out on windows and it does not happen. I belive it is a IOS issue only....?

Style Mapping to [Basic Paragraph] doesn’t work with remembered settings or presets
When you place (import) a Word document into InDesign, you can choose to use Style Mapping to map the paragraph and character styles in Word to their equivalents in your InDesign document. When you use this feature for the first time in a document, the mappings get stored somewhere and are remembered for any subsequent imports you perform in the same document; you can also choose to save your import settings, including Style Mappings, as a preset to use freely in any document.
If you map any Word styles to the default [Basic Paragraph] style in InDesign, it works as…
