Some objects won't resize randomly
I'm fining with this latest version that some objects, particularly text will only resize to a certain size. See my screenshot - this is a 1x3 meter banner and I cannot size the text any bigger than what you see on the screenshot it just snaps back. I know for a fact the text is nowhere near Indesign's maximum size as it's 150pt. I can manually change the size of the text to 500pt plus but this throws the layout off. I'm absolutely sick and tired of these constant bugs in this programme.

Pasteboard settings are broken
Adjusting the pasteboard size between pages is broken - see screenshot, I've set it to zero and still each page is miles apart. Sick and tired of these endless bugs.

Can't wrap the first line of a page
If I place an anchored image at the very start of the page, the first line does not wrap, it disappears behind the image. One solution in the forum was: Make an invisible line of 0pt. Are you kidding me?

I work with book interiors. Have been reading about the nightmares designers have had adjusting the margins of text boxes
I am not a cool millennial but I work with book interiors. Have been reading about the nightmares designers have had adjusting the margins of text boxes once there are several hundred pages and changing the master pages doesn't alter the actual position of the text boxes. Can I agree with the comments attached below -- to you Adobe company people -- don't **** off loyal users who were using Adobe before the millenials were born -- PLEASE STOP taking away features!!!!! I have recently updated to ID2021. Am I still going to have this bug -- as I now…

Layout adjust badly deforms vector graphics
Vector images pasted from Illustrator (without any raster effect added) become badly deformed when using Layout Adjust. Parts of the image may become bloated, extended, compressed, text is deformed, rectangles become squares; circles, ovals, parts shift, etc. In short, a total mess

Drop down menu
The drop down menus are not responding when I hover over. I'm using InDesign 2021 16.01 and have recently updated to OS Big Sur, this is when the issues began.

text wrap
InDesign 16.1v64
Text Wrap controls behave different with transformed objects.
At first I was going to report this as a bug and saw one other post where they were having the same issue but then I realized what is really going on so I'm making a suggestion.
Look at the Text Wrap for an Image object with the controls unlinked.
I was seeing the bottom control affecting the right side. And the Right side control affecting another side.
After some research I realized this was only happening on the images I'd imported and rotated 90 degrees.
Say there are two…2 votes -

Indesign 16. Problema con sangrías de texto y objetos con contorneo
Cuando una caja de texto o imagen con contorneo mueve texto sangríado (en el ejemplo, sangría en la primera línea) la sangría de la primera línea desaparece.
Ver en la muestra los ejemplos correctos dentro del circulo superior y los 2 inferiores en los que la sangría no se muestra correctamente debido a la caja de imagen con contorneo que se ve a la izquierda.1 vote -
bug: empty textbox
InDesign 16.1 x64, Windows 10
InDesign wraps text incorrectly when layout adjustments are made. Empty text frames occur. Only when the size of the text frames is changed, they are filled with text again.

Extend conditional text
Conditional text is a nice feature, but only applies to text parts or paragraph. It can be used to show/hide images and tables in flow text, but it also be nice to hide single rows in a table being marked as conditional.

Organize styles per book, not per file.
Having to synch the styles manually instead of just having the styles available throughout the book is a pain. Also I cannot synch single styles. There is an object style I use for chapter headings, the objects get displaced everytime I synch.

My text does not reach the end of the page and skips to the next page. I've tried several ways and I can't solve this problem. It is a 600-p
My text does not reach the end of the page and skips to the next page. I've tried several ways and I can't solve this problem. It is a 600-page long document. SOS! Please, thank you

Shift and Alt keys not working.
This seems to happen randomly, but while working on an InDesign doc these keys will stop working and the only fix is to restart my entire laptop. This doesn't really fix anything though because the issue can happen again within minutes of starting back up.
I use shift and alt a lot to align assets on my pages as well as duplicate certain assets. Among a bunch of other things.
This happens across all version I use (2019, 2020 and 2021)

double spaces
I write a lot in InDesign because i layout in the same time. When writing an rewriting there is often a problem with double spaces since you change and move text. The software tells you when words are used twice but not spaces. That would be of great help because they are difficult to recognice!
