Page Margins Bug
I am having a bug/issue with margins. In the page setup and the properties dialogues the measurements are showing as the defaults, but clearly they have been changed as noted in the attached file. This file was created in an earlier version of INDD.
3 votesThe Document Setup shows the Margins of the document when it was created or margins that will be assigned to any new pages you add to the document. However, you can override margins of individual pages by using the Margins and Columns dialog. And this is what has been done for the Page – the Top and Outside margins have been set to 25mm and 45mm respectively (changed from their default setting of 12.7mm).
Hope this helps.Adobe InDesign team

The new Text Wrap is missing all the adjustment options
There are no adjustment options available in the 2024 version of Indesign. There are only preset options that can't be adjusted up or down in size or amount of wrapping.

Damaged capitals
In Design 19.3 x64
After pouring in an editable file (MS Word 2010), where the capitals were in the footnotes in the names of the author(s) and editor(s) the capitals did not include the last letter of the last name or the last two letters.
Earlier versions (3-4 updates) worked fine.
Selecting the author's name and including capitals does not help. Further the last letter (or two) are not capitals. You have to mark the name and a comma (sometimes even a space) to make the full name capitals.
It takes more time, more attention to correct all the footnotes.…2 votes -
Line Jumps by Half its Stroke Weight in InDesign CC (Version 18.3)
In InDesign CC (Version 18.3), there is a persistent bug where a line jumps unexpectedly by half its stroke weight when attempting to change its length.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open InDesign CC (Version 18.3) on the affected system.
2. Create a new document page or open an existing document.
3. Draw a line with any length and stroke weight.
4. Select the line to edit it.
5. Try to change the…2 votes -
Adjust Layout Moves Locked Guides when "Adjust Locked Content" Option is Disabled
Locked guides that overlap the page margins move when using Adjust Layout while "Adjust Locked Content" is unchecked.
Expected behavior: Locked guides shouldn't move when using Adjust Layout unless "Adjust Locked Content" is checked. Unlocked guides should move regardless of the option being checked.
Steps to reproduce:
Add ruler guides to a page that overlap the page margins
Lock guides "View > Grids & Guides > Lock Guides"
Open "Layout > Margins & Columns"
Enable "Adjust Layout" and uncheck "Adjust Locked Content"
Increase or decrease the size of a margin that overlaps the guideI haven't found any workaround for…

Why is it so hard to handle type on a path in InDesign?
Why is it so hard to handle type on a path in InDesign?
At present is it clumsy, inarticulate and frequently unresponsive. You often can't select the path the type sits on.
As an example, try putting type on a circle. It is hard to centre and only sits at the top. It's quite common to want type on the bottom of a circle too, especially if you are creating a sort of stamp design.
In the old days of Freehand, which you own, all you had to do was specify centre, type away, and for text on the bottom…2 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.

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…

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.

alternate layouts
I want to prevent Indesign from adding alternate layouts to my file. I sometimes have to move pages from one document to another. I am using the page panel-move pages and then telling it the document I want the pages moved to. It adds an alternate layout. Is there a way to prevent this from automatically happening? It should be a feature that I turn on IF I WANT it. not one that I can't turn off.

Round corner appearance from InDesign 2018 file is changing, when open it on InDesign 2020 version
We are moving from InDesign 2018 to InDesign 2020 version.
Expecting that all previous files created in InDesign 2018 version should open correctly in later version without any design or font changes.
We found an issue on Corner radius for Rectangular box. Changing the corner radius appearance when file opened in InDesign 2020, though showing same Corner radius settings both InDesign versions (see screenshots).
Need a fix to open the files correctly in InDesign 2020 version also, without manual changing, as hundreds of files created previously with different corner radius.2 votes -

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.
