Option bar on Save and Place windows
Since the recent update to 2021, when I save, export, or place image, the window that opens is so small and there are now options at the bottom that I don't need and the area to select a file is only big enough to see 3 or 4 files.
Can you make this window larger so you don't have to expand the window size or hide the options every time? It gets monotonous.

Hi Team, InD CS -yes I know it's from the ark but I love it! It still does a great job!!
When placing an item from Library (in this case formatted Text Boxes), what do they actually link to?
I have them marked "lock position" but then I find them scattered all over the document (a quite long one).
Is there any way to link them (position them) relative to a paragraph mark or some other text item on the page.1 vote -
Type shortcut key (t) flips back to previous tool after a second
In InDesign 2021 (16.0) when I press t to get my text tool, the cursor changes to the text tool for about 1 second, then flips back to the previous tool it was on.
This seems to be only with the text tool (t); I can change to other tools without a problem1 vote -
point scale indication
When reducing a block of text, the point measure indicates both the original point size and the new point size. I am sure someone finds this useful, I don't.
I'd like to be able to get Indd to forget the old size so I can adjust the point size directly and accurately again.
If this can already be done, It is not readily apparent as to how.1 vote -

But i can't really set the size i am looking for.

Page Size Changes- Sometimes don't work, sometimes bug, InDesign is as confused as I am.
I'm using InDesign 2021. I have been using the option at the bottom the Pages window ("edit page size") to change the size of my document from US Letter to A4 as I offer both sizes of printables in my shop. I noticed tonight that this sizing is being buggy. I went to change my Letter size doc to an A4 size, but A4 was already checked. The rulers confirmed my doc was in Letter. I then tried to change it, but no selections held from that menu. Finally, I just went to the "adjust layout" menu option and changed…

Duplicating pages moves content
It seems duplicating pages in Indesign 2019 or 2020 moves content around the page. This is the first time I have experienced this after opening an old file, saving it as a new file and then trying to duplicate a page. The fix I found for this is to UNTICK 'Adjust layout' in the 'Layout/Margins and Columns' dialogue box and then try duplicating the page again. This time the content should not move. Definitely an adjust layout bug.

My title text boxes have weird word spacing I can't correct
I was happy with the last version of Indesign which I used on a non-Mac computer. My brand new uptodate version on the Mac is hopeless and I am in despair that I can't get instant help on my issue!

Resizing object with 'Auto-Fit' enabled now broken in 15.1
In version 15.0.3 and earlier, if you enabled the 'Auto-Fit' option and then resized an object by entering values in the Width or Height fields the content would resize along with the frame (as expected).
With 15.1 this no longer works. The frame resizes but the content doesn't. Only way for 'Auto-Fit' to behave as expected is to drag the frame handles.

proportional scaling
When I click and drag to re-size a text box or picture box, the proportions are constrained even though I'm NOT holding shift, and the lock button next to width and height is NOT selected.
Just started today. I've shut down and re-started my computer. I've closed and re-opened InDesign. I've downloaded the most recent update for InDesign.

Ungrouping deletes all items
Using Adobe InDesign CC up-to-date on a PC running Windows 10.
- Ungrouped group of text boxes + image boxes.
- All text in boxes disappeared but outlines remained. However in the layers you could see that they were deleted.
Strangely enough, by deleting a different hidden layer, I could ungroup the group and they would not be deleted.
Definitely the weirdest InDesign bug I've seen to date.
Any help would be appreciated!!

Text margins don't change when master pages are applied
Version: InDesign CC2019
Steps to reproduce: Apply a new Master page, with different margins, to a document page with text frame
Expected result: Text frame should resize to fit the new margins of the master page (as before with Layout Adjustment enabled)
Actual result: Page margins change but text frame stays the same. Useless! I have to manually adjust the text block to fit the new margins.I work in book publishing. When laying out a book, it's often necessary to make changes to the margins of certain pages, either to accommodate the dropped opening of a chapter, or to…

[ Versions 14 and 15 ] Adjust Layout | Liquid Page Rule "Scale" is affecting the result
Hi together,
as it seems feature Adjust Layout is actually affected by Liquid Page Rule.Two identical pages will scale type differently if Liquid Page Rule is set to "Based on Master" on one page and "Scale" on the other page.
This seems to be a bug. Liquid Page Rule should not affect the result of Adjust Layout. Applied my test documents from my German InDesign 2020 15.0.2.310 on Windows 10:
200206-1-Wrong-Text-Size-with-LayoutAdjustment-INDD-2020.zipNOTE: I renamed the zip file to .zip.txt because this site will NOT allow to attach zip files.
Also see into this thread at Adobe InDesign Forum where…
