InDesign won't quit
Since the update to v18.5, InDesign won't quit after working on a document. If I simply just open the program and won't open or create any document, it closes perfectly. But once a document is created or opened, the program itself won't quit afterwards and just sits/hangs there requiring force quit.
Resetting the preferences and dumping the caches didn't help either. Running Win 11 Pro x64. Nothing else is changed except ID got updated yesterday to v18.5.
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall because it's not a 'major' issue - just posting here so it's known and hopefully they…

Indesign CC 2023 Freezes/Crashes on Noto Sans (Google Fonts)
Even in the 2023 version of InDesign, using the following complex characters, Noto Sans Font, and Adobe World-Ready paragraph composer can cause the Indesign to crash or freeze. The list might be few more. Nothing wrong found in the fonts, only Indesign crashes. If use other fonts these characters are ok in Indesign.
Word file attached. Place this in Indesign and see the results.

Crashes on "Object Layer Options" for an AI file in a table
I'm using v18.4 (x64) on Windows 11 Pro, v22H2.
I have a two-layer vector graphic created in Illustrator (current version) placed in a table cell. If I select the graphic and then select "Object layer options," the correct dialog appears. But when I click on the visibility "eyeball" on either of the layers, InDesign immediately vanishes, having crashed.
This is repeatable.

18.4 crashes on splash screen. Have to rebuild preferences
Updated to 18.4 and now have to rebuild my preferences file each time I want to start InDesign. If I don't it crashes within milliseconds of the splash screen appearing. The splash screen appears momentarily, goes away and the programme doesn't load. I don't get a crash report as the programme never loads.
Seems to work OK once I've rebuilt the preferences but I have to do it EVERY time I launch InDesign. It is annoying.
I'm using InDesign 18.4 and iMac running Ventura 13.1.

InDesign hangs for minutes when I/O for Document fonts is slow
Using version 18.2.1 and opening a document that has an associated "Document fonts" folder alongside, the app performs a lot of I/O on the main thread. If the fonts are on slower storage, the app will open the document, but the window is completely frozen, since all those I/O calls are performed on the main thread.
Note the attached traces: some calls are even performed twice for the same file. Can the CT calls be moved off the main thread?

Greyed out screen when I open InDesign
Help! I am desperate to figure out why this was happening. I recently cleaned out my computer library/cache to free up storage, then updated to InDesign 2023. For the past couple hours I keep getting this screen. Everything is updated, but I have no idea how to fix this.

Crash on pdf export
We do a lot of sometimes large presentations in Indesign that have other external Indesign documents in them, that pdf fine, yet when I add pages to them it crashes when I export and there's nothing I can do to fix it other than removing the pages I've added.

Indesign CC 2018 crashes while selecting the type tool or font option from type menu
I am running Adobe InDesign CC 2018 13.0 x64. Whenever I open a new document and select the type tool, InDesign crashes. Same thing happens while clicking font option from type menu. Also, any premade INDD/INDT files aren't opening, it crashes every time. I have reinstalled several times, trashed preferences but of no use. I am running a Windows 10 version 1909 64 bit with OS built 18363.1801.

INDD 2023 continuous crashes
It's happening very often that, while I'm working on some files (it happened with many different ones, not just the same one), INDD suddenly crashes with no explanation. I'm pretty bored about this thing so I hope you can say me something in order to solve it. I've a very powerful computer so I'm sure it's not something related to "GPU fatigue". Wish you a good day

can't select objects
ID version 18.3
I have a massive page with a lot of objects, and now I can't select any of them. It is as if every object is locked; effectively the page now behaves like a pdf. I have tried to unlock all objects, over and over, and although "Unlock all on spread" is not greyed out, it does not respond. I have tried quitting and restarting, to no avail. Is it because my system just can't cope with the size? This is months of work down the pan...1 vote -
Relinking a .webp image with an embedded ICC profile freezes InDesign 2023
When you try to relink a new image to an existing one, and the new image is in .webp format with an embedded ICC profile, InDesign 2023 hangs. This is reproducible. Relinking works as expected if the .webp image does not have an embedded ICC profile.

Shuts down without any error message
Adobe Indesign v 18.2.1 on Windows 11
The app just decides to close by its own at somepoint during the work, without any error message.
If you open the same file again, it closes again when you repeat your last action.
I tried saving it with another name, close the app, restart the notebook, and it keeps heappening.
I tried starting a new file, it keeps heappening. At some point it just closes without any error message.
I tried opening the same files at another computer (also v. 18.2.1 on win 11), with another adobe account, it keeps heappening

Indesign always crashes during batch processing (after 55 files)
There is a great script for batch processing
creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/batch_convert.htmlBut on the last few versions of indesign, an error is generated after processing 55 files. It does not matter what documents and in what format to convert. For example, I created an empty document, copied it 60 times, and ran the script. Also on file 56, indesign crashed with an error.
However, this is not an error of the script itself, the author could not reproduce it no matter how hard he tried. On previous versions of indesign (a year ago) everything worked without errors.
I also deleted the settings,…
