Parent page export differently gradient levels left to right
When exporting facing pages with mirrored background images and gradient settings, all left pages seem to be darker and slightly warmer. The files are placed and linked to the same image from my hard drive and even swapping each image left to right causes the same bug. I even made a new parent page from scratch with the same issue. Pages look exactly the same in Indesign preview. The issue reverses when exporting a JPEG, where the left page is lighter and the right is darker.

Object effects not scaling when using numeric adjustment
When I scale an object using the actual size of the object, say I have a rectangle 40x40mm with a stroke size of 4 point, and I increase the size to say 80x80mm the stroke still stays at 4 points. This also applies to effects that I have given the object, like a drop shadow. All the effects are not scaled if I scale the object numerically. No matter which panel I use and of course the transformation panel is marked to scale strokes and effects. The effects do scale if I scale it by percentage like they should.

Indesign Documents placed in Indesign do not show used effect after reopening
… and also export "sometimes" the wrong rendering as PDF.
After reopening the saved File with the Placed Indesign-File it always displays in a wrong way! Thats quite new! look screenshot below
I also recognized that sometihing changed in handling with the effects in Indesign. Especially if I copy objects from Indesign to Photoshop (a thing i made over years without problems) .... the look as it was in Indesign changes unfortunally. The only solution is at the moment to export the parts as pic and open it than in Photoshop, to be save evrything is as wanted.

No transparency when placing vector objects from CC library
All of a sudden InDesign does not support transparency from the CC library. Any object in the library with transparency no comes with a white background. I'm not sure why randomly this has started, but it's extremely annoying and a giant workflow hang-up.

InDesign Effects applied directly to Text do not update when the text is changed
Some effects that are applied directly to the text do not update when the text is changed. If the same effect is assigned to the text frame (object), this error does not occur. Switching to GPU Preview or GPU Acceleration on the Mac or turning off the same option has no effect on the error.

Text appears heavier over a transparent image
When text is in a layer above an image that has its basic blending mode set to "multiply" the text is rendered with a darker outline. This does not appear in the final PDF, only the preview, but it makes it extremely difficult to judge font sizes and whether text is bold.
To reproduce:
- Create text in a text box.
- Insert a JPEG image on the page.
- Use the Arrange option on the image to "send to back" so that it is in a layer below the text
- Use Effects > Transparency on the image and set its blending mode…

enorme problème d'affichage dès que je scrolle ou zoome
J'ai un énorme problème d'affichage depuis quelques temps, lorsque je scrolle mes pages sont illisibles, comme si il manquait des morceaux comme si elles s'auto-aspiraient par leur centre... ça se décale par le bord et le milieu.
ca m'est devenu très difficile de travailler, je ne sais pas comment faire.

Paragraph borders and shading
Corner size and shape arrows don't work. You have to manually type in a value. I thought that in doing so it would activate the arrows but no.

Drop Shadow is Very Buggy Within the App for Text
The drop shadow effect is very buggy in the editor and has been for quite some time. I just dealt with it for the longest time but it seriously slows down production when I'm constantly having to "fix" it by making a change to the text then Undoing it (i.e. delete a character, then press Command+Z). The bug happens when Drop Shadow is applied to text and you scroll down the page a bit. The attached images show the before and after. If I scroll down the page after "fixing" it, it just re-bugs out. I work with white text…

Effects / blending mode
InDesign 16.4 x Windows 64: Cannot scroll the list of blending modes with arrow key(s) and preview the results in a selected box. I've always been able to do this in the past (InDesign CS 2, 4, 6). New laptop, new Adobe subscription. I can 'scroll,' but no preview. Window closes each time, so at least 30 clicks to re-open and select through the list.
2 votesHi everyone,
The behavior mentioned here has been there since InDesign CC (that came out more than 8 years ago in 2013).
Behavior in InDesign CS6 (and earlier) was different.Please confirm if you were seeing different behavior in any of the CC versions. Illustrator also behaves the same way.

Transparency issue when placing from CC Library
Transparent items and graphics that have been saved into the CC library for YEARS that when placed into InDesign would place with those transparency settings and no issues.
NOW I've updated to Adobe 2021 and suddenly those graphics that have been saved in there for years and even very recently before the update, are now placing into InDesign with white backgrounds. This seems to be a problem for many users.
This is causing so many headaches and I don't know how to fix this for hundreds of graphics saved in various CC libraries. So far, the only fix I've found…

Transparency from PSD or PNG not showing in InDesign 17.0.1
Since InDesign updated to v17.0.1 (from the v17 before this), transparency on pngs and psd's has stopped working. Instead it drops in a black background and messes with the colours.
The image on blue shows how it should work (using a workaround dropping it onto white and setting the transparency to darken), the other is with the PNG or PSD imported with transparency. It was fine yesterday before updating.1 voteCould you share the PSD and PNG files with us?
If yes, please send them to indshare@adobe.com, mentioning
the Subject the same as the thread.—

Could you please elaborate on this issue, giving more details on the steps involved? Are you putting an object filled with a certain color on top of the image and applying the Screen Effect to the rectangle?Looking forward to hearing back.

PNG import issue with InDesign 16.3.1
Hello!
I'm having an issue with InDesign CC (16.3.1): some PNG files are imported in a green frame instead of being transparent. For example, when I import (whether with the shortcut cmd + d or not) the PNG of an image (1), it appears with a green background, while this same image only with an additional layer (2) appears with a transparent background, as it should. However, it is the same export format with the added layer displayed or hidden.
I would like to point out that this bug only appears when importing into indesign, I don't have this problem…
