Items jumping to frontMy team are currently having a glitch where items that have been sent to back are jumping back to the front even if the item is locked. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to this as this is happening while working elsewhere in the documents and if often only noticed once it has been PDFd. It is effecting images/text boxes and solid shapes. 1 vote

QR code clickableHello. I have an idea regarding the InDesign program. It would be great if the generated QR codes in the interactive PDF were clickable. Is it possible to implement this? Currently, I manually assign hyperlinks to each QR code. 4 votes

Arrowhead scaling percentage no longer accurateI have just realised that the arrowhead scaling percentage no longer works as it should. Scaling an arrowhead to 50% no longer means that the size is reduced to 50%, it the arrowhead only shrinks to something like 90%. Similarliy, a 200% size adjustment gives me around 110% the original size. See image. Not even a 1% setting gives me the 50% size I'm looking for. I'm on a MBP M3 Max with InDesign 19.1. 1 vote

Copying originally English text in InDesign and it's pasting as Chinese charactersReally weird - been trying to copy and paste directly from an indesign file to external documents while sub-editing a page, and noticing it's pasting as a string of Chinese characters. E.g. see attached screenshot is pasting as:

I went crazy to disable it, so i found that there is an option which is missing in my indesign version (19.2. italian language). Is there a way or a keyboard shortcut to fix it? Thanks for your help 1 vote

Anchor a group of texts in a textI use Indesign 19.1. I have a group of texts that I need to anchor in the main text frame. As there is no anchor point on my group, I try to cut it and paste it where I need it to be anchored. I place my cursor where it should be, and paste, but nothing happens. So, I tried the same manipulation in Indesign 18.1 and it works. Can you tell me why it doesn't work anymore, and how can I anchor my group of texts. Is there another way? 1 vote

layer visibility of placed ai file is not updated when edited in Illustrator.When layer visibility of a placed Illustrator (.ai) file is edited in Illustrator, InDesign does not update. The layer that is not visible in the .ai file is still visible in the InDesign file. 
 Manually placing the revised .ai file into InDesign shows the file correctly.

line thickness- Adobe Indesign 19.1 Dutch version but problem occurs also in previous versions. OS Sonoma 14.1
- Double click on 'line' then I try to fill in 0,5 pt for the thickness.
- I would expect 0,5 pt for the thickness.

Export - Jpg - Page Size - SuffixLove the new update where you can change the export options to include a specific Suffix, however could you remove the spaces between the sizes in the Page Size Suffix export? For example, 700 x 200 would be 700x200. This will help speed up the process in file naming as we can not have spaces in files names in any graphics for our websites. 2 votes

Footnote: Problems with Small caps when using World-Ready Paragraph ComposerID 23 and 24: When the Footnote Text Paragraph Style has World-Ready Paragraph Composer enabled, then there is a problem with formatting in the first line of the footnote: Starting from Footnote 10, the problem appears. When Small Caps is applied (via open type font) then the style is applied to 1 letter before the styled text range and 1 letter at the end of the text is not styled as should be. So the staling is shifted for 1 letter regarding the applied style. When the footnote number is 3 digits, then the styling is shifted by 2 letters. 8 votes
