"Tool" Keyboard Shortcuts (W, A, V, Spacebar Hand Toggle, "Shift+W") Not Working
ONLY the "Tool" keyboard shortcuts such as "W", "A", "V", the "Spacebar" Hand Toggle, and "Shift+W" are not working. All other keyboard shortcuts involving "CTRL" or "ALT" work just fine. It is the same on my Photoshop as well. I am using the "default" keyboard shortcuts in the preferences. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Indesign, and restarting the machine multiple times, opening InDesign with no other programs open, and other numerous solves on other treads.
My keyboard is not the issue, I am using a remote desktop for work and all of these shortcuts work fine on my local…

InDesign 2022 - Wrong Icons in Toolbar
It looks like the icons for selection and direct selection are flip-flipped in the toolbar.
Selection should be black, and direct select should be white.

Can't open some Indesign files in finder
Since the latest 2022 update certain Indesign files will not open via finder - either by double clicking the file icon or going command>O. The app doesn't even acknowledge your action, only workaround is by opening via the app which is an absolute pain. Absolutely ridiculous.

Bug: overwriting embedded objects with not embedded ones keeps them imbedded
Indesign CC 2022, v17.
Steps to reproduce :
1. open two documents which have the same linked file (image) embedded
2. edit the image outside of ID.
3. relink the file in one of two documents, so it becomes unembedded
4. copy the unembedded file to the other document, overwriting the same, but still embedded object/image.Exprect result: the object in the target document should not be embedded anymore and it should be up-to-date.
What happens: depending on how the files is placed (inside a table cell or not) ID will only mark it as "it has been changed" by…

Swipe Gestures not working
'Swipe Gestures to navigate within pages' used to work earlier in both mobile phones and laptops.

Adobe clearly mentions that publish online supports smooth gesture controls : https://helpx.adobe.com/in/indesign/using/publish-online.htmlPlease fix this ASAP.

lose keyboard shortcuts
InDesign 17.1 on 2019 MBP, Catalina 10.15.7
All of the keyboard shortcuts involving the "command" key stop working (command + spacebar, command + shift, etc.). This usually happens after leaving the app open for a long time (during a long call, lunchtime, etc.) and they don't work again until the computer is restarted.1 vote -
Direct PDF-Export in Data merge copies "page-1-text" to all other pages
In the linked video you can see a bug in Indesign 17.1 x64 on Windows 10.
Data Merge offers two ways to output pages. You can generate a merged Indesign-Document (works) and you can directly export to PDF.
The direct PDF-export doesn't work for me, because texts from page 1 get copied to all other pages instead of using each pages text.
The video shows the comparison between both methods and i just don't see a reason for what is happening.1 vote -
Alt text missing on hyperlinks after "Export as Interactive PDF"
I work primarily in InDesign and create accessible PDFs. During the design stage, I always add the alt text when creating hyperlinks or adding images, and export it as an interactive PDF.
As we know, after updating beyond InDesign version 16.1, the hyperlink alt text will not appear on the Link tag, but instead, it appears on the "Link - OBJR" (aka "Annotation") tag within the Link tag.
I work on long reports that usually have hundreds of hyperlinks and this is a big and very time-consuming problem for me, so I reverted back to v 16.1.
I've been ignoring…

Anchored headings on even pages appear out of order in generated tables of contents
Using InDesign v17.1 on MacOS 12.2.1. On a 50 page document with facing pages, using custom positioned anchored level 2 headings that appear to the left of paragraphs and are aligned at the left side of the text frame. When generating a table of contents, the anchored headings on even pages appear before their corresponding level 1 headings. I've moved the anchored objects slightly inside the frame and changed the left margin but problem persists. When pushing this same text to an odd page and regenerate the TOC, the problem is fixed.

The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen is visible as soon as we hit a key.
It is a bit annoying when you use this tool to make a presentation..
Can we add an option to hide it ?1 vote -
Pasting forced line breaks instead of end paragraphs (InDesign)
When pasting data from Excel, each row comes in with a Forced Line Break marker at the end, instead of an End Paragraph marker. This is a recent change within Indesign, as you used to be able to paste from excel into a table in Indesign, maintaining the proper rows and columns. Now when you paste in the same information, it doesn't recognize the end paragraph, and tries to put all the data in one row.
The same issue has been found when pasting text from Microsoft Word into Indesign - instead of End Paragraph markers, you get forced line…
