1. space bar and tab bugs

   InDesign 17.1 is impossible to use with macOS 12.2.1 Monterey.
   Using the space bar puts the document in the dock. Using the tab freezes the document.

2. cells selection

   Bug 1:

   See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.
   Make a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.
   Merge the first 2 cells of the first row.
   Now you have 2 cells in the first row. (A and B).
   Set the contents of other cells to C, D, E, F, G, H.
   Now select cells B, D and E.
   If you click on the Edit menu, InDesign crash.
   If you choose File -> Export, InDesign crash.
   On the scripting side, calling document.selection throw an exception and it is not possible to get the current selection.

   Bug 2:
   See "Table 2" in the provided screenshot.
   Make a table with 2 columns and 4 rows.
   Split the second cells of the first row.
   Now you have 3 cells on the first row.
   Set the contents of the cells to numbers from 1 to 9.
   Now select cells 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (skip cell 3).
   Run this code:

   var doc = app.activeDocument;
   var selectedCells = doc.selection[0].cells;

   var i, ilen, contents = [];

   for (i = 0, ilen = selectedCells.length; i < ilen; i++) {
   contents.push(selectedCells[i].contents);
   }

   alert(contents.join('-'));

   expected result: 1-2-4-5-6-7-8-9
   current result: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (cell 3 is not part of the selection, cell 9 is missing).

   Applescript and VBscript don't have this problem, only ExtendScript.
   This happens with all versions of InDesign.

   This bug was already reported over a year ago (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/41451565-script-selection-on-merged-row-makes-indesign-cr)

   Please fix as soon as possible!!!!

   why is it not possible to upload .indd files? You are talking about InDesign bugs and it is not possible to provide a .indd file???? Why???

4. Share for Review

   I'm now using InDesign 2022. I open an old document and save with a new name as I have done for years. However, now when I go and create a Share for review, the old file name still appears in the Share for Review tab as the Title. Even when I've changed the title in that tab, it seems to revert back to the old title of the original file I based my new file on. This title is what appears on the pdf that is sent to the reviewers. So this can be very confusing and a HUGE problem. (I do not think this happened in InDesign 2021.) In fact in the Share for Review tab, it doesn't even ask me to create a new review, because it just thinks the file is being updated. HELP. This was not an issue a couple of weeks ago before 2022 launched. (I would create a new file based on an old one by saving the file with a new name; and then in Share for review, it would ask me to "Create Review" and the file name was always the new file I had created.)

5. Restore video from URL media option

   For some unexplained reason the Video from URL option has been removed from InDesign 2020. This needs to be restored ASAP as there are people using this feature.

   Moveover, it needs a minor improvement to allow HTTPS links (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/37474690-place-a-video-from-a-url-with-https).

   It was a big mistake to not query the community before removing this and it should be a simple thing to restore.

6. Slow creation of PDF low-res

   In addition to the problem I posted regarding a conflict between ID and Windows 11, I did resolve that by moving to an earlier release of ID. However, the creation of the low-res PDF now consumed the time it normally takes to produce a high-res print-ready export. Something is going on with ID 17.1.

7. Chinese character page number rule needs to following Chinese grammar

   Chinese page number grammar after 10 is not following Chinese grammar.
   For example, page 21 in Chinese is written as 第二十一页, instead of 第二一页.

   It's horrifying seeing Chinese is been butched likt this.

10. Regenerate QR-code upon opening IDML

    Third party tools are able to edit the content of a QR-code. However, when opening the edited IDML, the QR-code image itself is not being regenerated until the user manually edit's the QR-code en saves it.

    I would expect InDesign to regenerate every QR-code upon opening an IDML file.

    Use case: translating IDML files using CAT software, where the content of QR-codes needs to be translated (another URL destination per language)

    InDesign Version: 17.0.1

    Steps to reproduce the issues:
    1. Create QR-code in InDesign.
    2. Export document as IDML.
    3. Edit QR-value directly in the IDML (value for UrlLink attribute of <HyperlinkQRCode> element)
    4. Open IDML file

    Expected result
    QR-code image regenerated based on the value in the IDML file

    Actual result
    QR-code image is still reflecting the old value

11. uneven / unlevel pages side by side in spread

    2 uneven pages left right 16, 17 in a document of 64 pages in spread of same double master page spread.

    only 2 in whole doc.

    mac os x mojave 10.14.6 indesign cc 16.01 (adobe rep told me this is the only version that works w/mojave and my late 2015 imac 5k)
    i finally resolved by adding 2 new blank pages ahead of those 2, (applied master), copy pasting the content to those 2 new pages (singe spread), then deleting the original wonky pages.

    I didn't want to take a chance the spread was transmitted wrong to the printer even thought it was probably only a visual glitch/bug.

12. Vector Objects changing size when page layout is duplicated

    While using InDesign v17 I've encountered a bug where some small rectangular vector objects will get larger when a page is duplicated using the "Create Alternate Layout" feature in the "Pages" tab. This has also occurred when a page or layout is dragged and dropped to the "Create New Page" icon to create a duplicate in the "Pages" tab. Design elements should not change when a layout is duplicated, and this did not happen in previous versions.

    This first appeared in an .idml file that was created in 2019, and carries over to new files based on that .idml. It does not seem to occur with .idml files made in 2020 or 2021

13. When I save out an IDML version of my INDD 2022 v17.0 file, the text boxes from my Master page are in a different location on every spread.

    Also, when I tried opening my INDD file in an older version (INDD v1.64) nothing happened. My file did not appear in the window, so I couldn't "go back" to an older version of INDD.

14. Files change to 'Read Only' when I click on 'Save'

    When I have updated to 16.2.1 x64 of InDesign I am experiencing an issue where files are becoming 'read only' once I have clicked save manually. I then have to re-save the document as a new filename and then go back and delete the original. It is happening when I am using Dropbox. I have experienced this using Dropbox at home and in work and has only started to happen once I have clicked 'save' manually with the latest version of InDesign

15. AppleScript Finder communication

    Indesign script‘s with calls to the Finder or other Apple apps work running from Apple’s Script Editor, but break when running from InDesign’s Scripts panel. Get an Not Authorized to Send Apple Events to Finder error.

16. Shared CC Library

    The WHOLE purpose of a "SHARED CC LIBRARY" is to be able to keep a single and universal source of truth for EVERY element within the library across all uses of the element – on all files.

    There is an issue achieving this.

    When I add an illustrator file to the CC Shared Library from within Indesign, and I go to edit that element, it:

    Opens a new InDesign file, where you can make the change,
    save the change, and the change is displayed on the thumbnail of the shared element, and does in fact update the shared element.

    HOWEVER....

    It does not update the element displayed on the InDesign file you're working on!

    If The same illustrator file is added to the shared library FROM Illustrator directly, then when you double click on that element in the shared library from within InDesign, it will open IN Illustrator where you can make your changes, and when you save it, it also AUTOMATICALLY updates every instance where that element is used across ALL shared files.

    This doesn't;t make any sense. It should not matter how you add the element to the library, IF the library accepts the element.

    There is another glitch that even makes this more confusing.

    If I have multiple items on a page in InDesign, and I group them together and drag the group over to the CC Shared library, The Library "accepts" the group.

    Then, when you double click the element, it opens a new page in InDesign.

    when you go to edit the text in InDesign – Text that was created FROM INDESIGN, and save your change, it updates the Library element BUT does not update any instance where that is used.

    Again, this doesn't make any sense and seems to defeat the purpose of storing universal items in the library.

19. Creating a new Cross Reference - Automatic select [All Paragraphs]

    When creating a new Cross Reference entry, the windows that pop automatically pick [All Paragraphs] and in document with many table or lots of text frame, this can take very, very.... long time before the window popup.

    This was introduced with CC 18.1 and is still the case up to now with CC22 (17.1).

    It was ok with CC20017.

    I have been reporting this behavior since April 2019 and for each release.

20. Publication Analytics

    We need reliable analytics on epublished documents to show to our clients. Over time we update the documents and for some mysterious reason the "Originally Published" date is wrong. How am I supposed to know if the numbers are from the update I made a week ago or or from our first publishing last september. And no... There are no dublicates of that document.
