  1. Welcome screen has a trypophobia trigger image

    The image in the top row, 2nd from the right, can be a visual trigger for people with trypophobia like myself. It is a small thing but something that can be easily fixed so I figured I'd write!

  3. InDesign 18.1 x64 (Windows) - Problem with font Latino URW Regular Italic

    InDesign 18.1 x64 (Windows) - Downloaded Adobe Latino URW fonts from Adobe fonts site - The Regular Italic shows up as Italic in Windows fonts and Word, the others are OK. When placing Word document into InDesign, get missing font because InDesign does not recognize Latino URW Italic, it wants Latino URW Regular Italic. It is a font naming issue. After removing font, restarting computer, and reloading, problem persists.

  5. dark interface &

    Appearance dark theme not matching the settings or OS. I selected dark theme but pasteboard and window top bar light grey. It should be uniform dark.

    Other issue is workspaces often does not show up after launching app requiring me to select a workspace other than my custom setting to show up on screen and only then can I select my custom workspace to have it show up. If I select my custom workspace right away after launch when no windows or tools show up nothing happens the screen stays without any panels or tools. Clearly a bug

  6. Unrecognizable when Color Setting is set to Japanese name

    OS : Windows 10/11
    InDesign : 18.1/ 17.4/16.4.3 (probably all versions)

    If I save a color setting with a Japanese name, the next time I open the color setting, an error occurs and it is not recognized.
    When I check the list, it is garbled and cannot be loaded.
    The same problem does not occur when the same color settings are used in Illustrator.

    Since this problem occurs in a Japanese environment, the contents of the screenshots and attached file names are in Japanese.

    Original Message :
    カラー設定を日本語名で保存した場合、次にカラー設定を開いたときにエラーが発生して認識できません。
    リストを確認すると文字化けしているため、読み込めない状態となっています。
    同じカラー設定をIllustratorで利用した場合は同じ問題は発生しません。

    日本語環境で起きる問題であるため、スクリーンショットの内容や添付ファイル名は日本語です。

  7. Screen flickers when I move an item

    When I want to move something , for example a text frame, my screen flickers. This is very annoying and i'm afraid if i move items too much, Indesign will crash. What can I do to fix this?

  8. Display issue

    Lines and slightly shifted objects. When I scroll up and down theses lines disappear and reappear elsewhere (=> screenshots 2 and 2B). Since the update to CC 2023, these display errors only appear in Indesign, not in other programs.

  9. Absurd translation of the word "spread" in Czech UI

    Please correct the absurd translation of the “spread” on the Effects window. In this context, you cannot translate it as “dvojstránky” (= two pages) but rather “rozšíření” – in InDesign CS6 the translation is correct.

    Please note that in some languages one word can have multiple meanings. For example, in Czech we have one word for month and moon. The words are not interchangeable, you can’t say “the moon of July” in English. But this is exactly how you translate the aformentioned expression!

    It is the same with the word spread in English, it has multiple meanings and cannot be translated…

  10. Embedding video and publishing online

    I tried to embed four small videos (first at HD and then at SD) but the online publishing kept coming up with a error #16 message, when I tried to do this. After trial and error, I only managed to upload three videos into the Annual Report I had put together - not ideal at all.

    This would imply that there IS a limitation in terms of file size when publishing online. The overall size of the InDesign file was 23,560 KB.

    The three videos at SD were: 73,907 KB, 156,488 KB, 48,701 KB. The additional SD video that I…

  11. Links palette issue

    Hi there;

    I'm encountering a bug with the "Links" palette. Specifically, for a long list of links, the "Link info" panel doesn't preview properly, but rather overlaps the main list of links. Similarly, if a link alphabetically appears towards the bottom of the list, it isn't possible to select it from the Links palette.

    Hoping this can be fixed with the next INDD update?!

  13. Lenteurs sur Indesign 2023

    Sur la version 2023 (18.0) faire un assemblage est très très long. Plus de 20min pour un doc 16 pages..
    Je me dit : je vais prendre l'idml pour l'ouvrir sur la version 2022... idem j'ai laissé tombé : beaucoup trop long.

  14. Hyperlink url gets cut off

    When creating a hyperlink by selecting text, the hyperlink gets cut off if the selection exceeds a certain number of characters – and the link ends up invalid.

    Easy to reproduce, see attached video.

  15. black glitch

    while I move a photo or any text, a black rectangle is created along the entire screen that prevents me from seeing what I'm doing, and it disappears as soon as I stop doing what I was doing

  16. InCopy Templates opening new Document with unique assignments

    This is for InCopy but it would be great to be able to save InCopy Templates that open a new Incopy document with NEW UNIQUE assignments. For example, this would allow you to make an InCopy Sign template that has locked down branding, etc but has editable text fields that can be populated by client and saved off as print pdfs for production. The client could then use the template over and over to create many signs.

  19. File preview bug

    I've upgraded from InDesign v2022 to v2023 (18.0). When I'm saving files after converting them, the preview image disappears where it was saved with the previous version.

  20. Buttons Reverting to Top-Most Destination

    I set up all of my buttons on different parent pages and amended pages based on parent pages, gave them all unique names and set their destinations. They worked perfectly for precisely one export to interactive PDF and then most of the buttons reverted to the top-most destination in the list when I reopened the document.
