Layout Adjustment Moves Anchored Frames
Layout adjustment moves anchored frames vertically even when the anchor is set relative to the text baseline and the text baseline doesn't move.
***Worse still, the shifted frames also DO NOT SHOW AS OVERRIDDEN even though their position no longer matches the settings in the object style applied to the frame.

Magnetic layout - Snap to guides not accurate
When placing an element (box) against a page grid - or guide line, the element is not placed exactly at the grid rulers. It's always slightly off. This problem occurs after an earlier update from InDesign. It doesn't matter if it's a new or an old document. We work with InDesign 18.1
We produce a lot of magazines and also a newspaper where grid and content measurements must be accurate.1 vote -
I want to use the Japanese ver. InDesign with English UI.
I don't understand why some features like Ruby Text are only available in the Japanese version. Why can't we just change the language?
I did find a work-around to install the Japanese version and change the UI to English, but if I do that, all the hotkeys disappear like CTRL+C.

Underlines are drawn in the space left by "danraku jisage".
When I use "danraku jisage " in the "mojigumi akiryou settei" , an underline is underlined in the empty space at the beginning of a line.
Since there are no characters in the empty space, it is correct that underlines are not underlined in the same way as when indentation is used to lower the line.「文字組みアキ量設定」で「段落字下げ」を行ったとき、行頭の空いている部分にも下線が引かれてしまう。
空いている部分には文字はないので、インデントで下げたときと同じように、下線は引かれないのが正しい。28 votes -
Window resizing doesn't work in 18.1
Hi, just updated to ID 18.1 and when I go to resize the document window to make it narrower (just grabbing the right side), it resizes the entire thing – height and width, doesn't go back to the way it was properly and ends up on the bottom of the screen, instead of just making the window narrower.

alternate layout - copy text variables (just like styles to new group)
I had a job that was originally designed to be a PDF online in color. Then at the last minute, the client asked for a B&W version for print (to keep costs down). They still weren't done editing so I made an alternate layout and checked "copy styles to new group", then made all the color adjustments to those styles and the new B&W master pages. However, I had a running header in the original version. Well, the running header on the B&W version picked up the last section head from the color version, making the B&W version incorrect. I…

Autosize text boxes not refreshing
InDesign 17.3
Autosize textbox with anchored autosize text boxes, if the anchored textbox resizes to match the text, often, the parent autosize text box does not change to accommodate it. The child text box increases size and overlaps the text boxes or other anchored items around it. A provisional fix is to manually resize the parent textbox which causes a refresh. The refresh should be automatic.1 vote -

InDesign Application Frame cannot be moved between desktops on macOS Monterey, via Mission Control
The InDesign application frame cannot be moved between desktops on macOS Monterey via dragging the top edge of the window to the top of Mac desktop and then selecting a different desktop to drop it into in Mission Control. This is contrary to behavior in other programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. InDesign can be moved to a different desktop by dragging it to the left or right edge of the screen but it is preferable to have the functionality using the top of edge of the current desktop so the desired window can be chosen. I am…

Preview 'glitching' when changing fonts in text blocks
Had this problem in 17.2 but still occurring even now I've upgraded to 17.3.
Working on a Mac Mini macOS Monterey 12.5.1If I make any changes within a text block (weight, style or actual font) the selected text will 'glitch' and does not refresh properly when I'm choosing a font or different weight of the same font, causing issues with visibility and layout. It only corrects itself when I click off the text block, either onto the dashboard or another section of the design. This isn't ideal when I'm making design decisions as it impairs layout and aesthetics.
This…

Can't create snap to baseline style
I just paid for and downloaded ID 17.2.1 after using cs6 and need to meet a deadline for a four page newsletter. I can't seem to find any buttons whatsoever that allow me to create a body style with the text snapping to the baseline. My text is all over the shop. Did I just do a faulty download, or am I missing something? Where is the option for baseline snapping or not snapping?
1 voteAlign to Baseline Grid option is available in the Paragraph panel.
It is also available in the Paragraph Style dialog under the Indents and Spacing section - Align to Grid.
Hope you find this useful.

resize document view
I am using Indesign 17.2. When I try to resize the art board by clicking on the bottom right corner, the whole thing automatically becomes larger than my screen so that I have no way to adjust it from there.
The uploaded image shows the bottom of my screen without any way to access the bottom of the document.

If a list has a span, footnotes will appear before the list, not at the bottom of the page.
I have many list paragraph styles, some of them formatted as spans. When I hit a footnote, it appears above the span, and can only be sent to the bottom of the page when the span is removed. This happened before and after the latest upgrade.
