Adobe InDesign 2024(v19.0) - Users are facing issues while scrolling using Trackpad/Touchpad
I have installed the upgrade to Adobe InDesign 2024 (build 19.0) while keeping version 2023 (build 18.5) and have encountered the following problem:
- After opening a document, the mouse scroll wheel does not seem to work (i.e. it is not possible to scroll up or down the contents of a page). However, this condition still works in InDesign version 2023.
Has anyone encountered the same problem and found a solution?
18 votesHi,
We have been able to reproduce the issue and it is currently under investigation.
Workaround : Use USB mouse instead of Trackpad/Touchpad

HarfBuzz introduced in v2024 is not honouring the spacings properly
Harfbaaz text engine is not taking care of spacings properly specially when using Arabic or Urdu script. Files attached before and after. Without harfbaaz, settings look more natural. On tweaking the settings further does not make much difference.

At first I thought the RO problem was a conflict, so that…26 votesThis issue has been resolved in the latest version of InDesign - InDesign 18.4

Master page Items on left page missing when overriden on right page's master page when both master pages are based on the same parent
OK, this bug is INCREDIBLY specific, but unfortunately is completely breaking my project. Example PDF below and INDD file in Google Drive folder here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1teEtxzm5lT5PnwsZ6BKToDpSXgAx4D9d?usp=sharingI'm trying to make a multilingual instructions manual (A4, facing pages, 3mm bleed on all sides) with tabs on the page edges for each language. I have one master page "A-Gabarit" which has all the general layout elements and all the language tabs grayed out, and for each language, I have a master page based on A where I override the one tab for that language to color it black (so the EN master page…

Application Window Bug
Please fix this annoying bug, Adobe! Ever since I updated to the latest version 18.4 the application window has broken. I have uploaded a screen recording to demonstrate what is happening. I use Shift + W a LOT to view my work in presentation mode. everytime I exit this view the entire application shrinks!! And I have to keep manually resizing the application window. But it doesn't happen when I uncheck 'Application Window' from the window menu. Please fix this. I have never had this issue before.

Adobe must immediately prioritize the RENDER OF FILE THUMBNAIL PREVIEW of .indd file on Mac Desktop/finder
How can a an application of visual asset creation not render a visual preview thumbnail on Mac OS Finder? This is patently absurd and frustrating beyond comprehension! Please prioritize the RENDERING OF A THUMBNAIL PREVIEW for all INDD Files on Mac OS!!

Crop tool namings for german version are irritating
A view months ago I was posting this issue to the community board already. :-) Thanks to Mr. Tyson for directing me to this page here:
Dear InDesign team,
please take a look on https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/placing-graphics.html
The assistance describes the differences between the three boxes named "crop", "trim" and "bleed".Well, in English there is no mistake if I'm going to import a PDF into my InDesign document, e.g. I'd like to display the final cutted format, than I choose for "Trim" or if I need to prepare a page for professional print shops than choosing "Bleed".
But in the german…

Missing feature: Embed INDDs placed in an INDD
So far, you can embed sort of all linked file types in an INDD, but not other INDDs. This should be possible to save a 100% fixed snapshot of a document.

"Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle" behavior in Page Panel is opposite
About Page Panel menu, "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle".
When you check here, you can’t shuffle pages. You need to be off the check to shuffle. It's contrary to content.
I hope this will be fixed to "Not Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle".
Thank you.2 votes -

Indesign 18.5 on MAC 13.5.2_conflicting fonts
Why am I getting different results than the clients pdf?
Using same fonts as client. The word IMPACT REPORT is different when I export it.
The clients font is Gotham Bold but when I open the Indesign, the font shows up as Gotham Distress even though I don't have that font in my Document font folder.

Negative values needed size and position options in Object Style
Currently, you cannot set negative values for the Size and Position Options inside of Object Styles.
This is an obvious error because sometimes, you need a class of objects to bleed. For example, I would like a ImageFullpage style that I could use to set images that bleed on all four sides.
This requires that they be positioned at -0.125 x and 0.125 y.
Also, an ImageCaption style that sets a caption on top of an image should allow me to use -y: .125. When combined with the bottom reference point and the from: "group" option (another request), it would…

Unable to relink more than one image at a time
Cannot relink more than one image at a time in InDesign 18.2.1 (2023) even when "search for missing links in this folder" box is ticked. Therefore I have to import each image individually, which is time consuming. Has anyone else come across this annoying problem at all?
