Suddenly unable to import RTF files?
Suddenly unable to import RTF files to INDD pages, possibly after most recent software update through ACC. Have been doing it the same way for years, and now it refuses to let me autoflow or even place the first column of what will be a multi-page layout.

"comp_core_log" folder is created
- Adobe InDesign 16.2.1.102
- When the component information dialog is displayed for the first time after launching InDesign.
- Just the component information dialog is displayed.
- An empty folder named "compcorelog" is created on the desktop.
This may not be a bug, but deleting an empty folder every time I check the document history is a bit annoying.

Font not appearing
A font I have installed and previously been able to select in InDesign is now not showing for me on any new document I create. I have updated InDesign and double checked the font (it shows in all other programs) but the only way I can get the font to appear in InDesign is to copy text from another file that has my font in which is not really ideal.
The font is Raleway.1 vote -

Not all Color Panel menus accessible via keyboard shortcut
When setting a custom keyboard shortcuts, there is no option for
Panel Menus > Color: HSB
And other color models. Those should be added. All panel menu items should be available consistently.

'see' reference in index
InDesign CC, latest version
Strange bug (or at least unwanted behavior) I encountered today in Indesign:
For a new book project, I used an earlier book as a template (a lot of the settings and styles should be the same), replacing all the text and images. The index in the earlier book contained 'see'-references. For the new book I generated a new index ('replace old index' checked), and the 'see'-references (just these) from the old book also showed up!
I would expect checking the 'replace old index' box would prevent this.
Not a big deal (the faulty entries were easy…1 vote -

Tried to open older documents, and the letter appeared when I pressed the button!1 vote -

sticky rollover state on form checkboxes and radio buttons
I'm having an issue with checkboxes and radio buttons. I have a normal, off, rollover, and on state. The off state is 70% paper fill, the on and rollover states are slightly larger graphics with 100% fill and drop shadows, and the on state also has a green fill.
When exported to interactive pdf, the rollover state sticks and stays even after mouse out, causing the off state to rest on top of the rollover state. If I continue to mouse over the element, the drop shadow will get thicker and increasingly darker until black.
I'm using InDesign 16.2.1 on…

On launching indesign by opening a file, Indesign loses all its tools until 15 seconds after an action

BUG - Autonumbering turns off when hiding a layer - BUG
Steps to reproduce:
- Create 2 threaded text frames on a page.
- Fill them with text (Lorem ipsum)
- Autonumber the paragraphs with Autonumbering feature in InDesign - regular 1, 2, 3-list will do.
- Create a new layer
- Move the first frame in the text flow to that layer
- Turn off visibility of that layer....
The autonumbering is gone from any autonumbered list!!!

Tell (X,Y) values of specific table cells
When I have tables in a document, I often have to lay text boxes over specific cells to achieve my desired result and it would be helpful to have a way to know the specific (X,Y) values of each cell so that I can line the relevant text box up appropriately.

crash
InDesign version info attached (Mac OS 10.15.7).
I've been dealing with persistent crashing while trying to open ID files. For certain files, the beach ball of death appears for an extended (and sometimes endless) period, at which point I force-quit and open the file again. On the second attempt, the file always opens properly. This happens with most, not all, ID files — so I literally have to restart ID 30+ times a day. No fun.
I've reset preferences and even reinstalled ID from scratch, but no luck. One thing I noticed is that if I move the ID file…

Object States panel - Renaming is not working
InDesign isn't allowing me to rename the different states in "object layer states". I have looked this up and there are a couple of other people who have posted about the same thing. I am running InDesign 16.0.2 and its on a MacBook Pro running the OS BIg Sur.
3 votesThe fix for this issue is now available in the latest update to InDesign - InDesign 17.1 available through CCD app.
Please note that you would need to update to the latest macOS Monterey 12.1 also to see this working correctly.

Best update in years...Thank you!
For years, Adobe has added cloud features, glitches, ignored issues, and created a more bloated and buggy program. This is the first update in years that has improved things people including myself have been asking for a long time (some since the birth of CC).
Thank you! I hope this is a shift in direction as there is more to be fixed (mainly resource utilization efficiency and long requested productivity features for professionals.)
Keep up this great work!
