100% scaling is anything but
I have a MacBook Pro 16" (Intel) with an external Samsung 5k monitor.
Starting recently, when I select View –> Actual size I get a tiny document not by any means represented @ 100%. See screenshot.
Formerly, the command has rendered an almost 1:1 representation, which is what could be expected (not least since the command is called "actual size" and that the resulting window header says "100%").
The issue is described here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/recent-changes-to-gui-scaling/m-p/12578562.

Layer visibility toggle should indicate mixed visibility status of sub layers
InDesign V 16.4, Current Creative Cloud as of 2021-11-14.
Currently - The top Layer visibility icon (within the layers palette) does not indicate a mixed visibility status of sub layers.
I have a rather complex layer set in a document I'm working on where I have master pages with master pages based on other master pages and linked objects within the document.
I just spent over an hour trying to locate a hidden object. I incorrectly assumed that, when looking at the layers palette, with all the layer stacks closed (layer list contracted where only the top level was shown)…2 votes -

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…

In some Hebrew fonts, part of the letter punctuation is missing or appears in the wrong place
Adobe version 17.0.1.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Copy text with punctation, (like the poem from here: https://benyehuda.org/read/30477).
2. Create in InDesign an RTL text area, and paste the text.
3. Change font to Alef Regular.
Expected results: correct location of punctation marks inside letters and above.
Actual results: missing or wrong location.

Not all spaces are rendered correctly with World-Ready Composer
The narrow no-break space (U+202F) is not rendered correctly when the World-Ready Composer is used: its width becomes equal to a normal space, instead of being thin.
See attachment for illustration (the problem occurs regardless of the font used), reproduced with InDesign v16.4.
This problem is maybe related to https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/41793187-bug-since-cs6-nonbreaking-space-s-issue-wit

[ID-4261011] In Find/Change, search for font style (eg "Book") incorrectly selects "Regular" style text, even if "Book" style isn't present
In InDesign 2021 (the latest version both on Mac and Windows), I add a text frame and fill it with placeholder text which is set, by default, to Minion Pro - Regular.
Then I go to the find-change dialog box and set 'find format > basic character format > font style' to Book.
And guess what happens when I hit the ‘find next’ button? It selects all the ‘regular text. (The document has no text with the 'book' font style applied!)
Selecting another style — e.g. Bold, Italic, etc. — results, as expected, in the 'cannot find match' alert.

BUG: PDF Page Information does not display non-Arabic folios
The 'Page Information' on exported PDFs does not display non-Arabic folios.
See attached screenshot for example. Roman numerals are used for page numbering. The page name ('folio') is shown correctly in Acrobat as 'ii', but the Page Information on the PDF incorrectly shows the Arabic numeral '2'. This happens regardless of the PDF export settings.
If the same document is printed to a PostScript file and Distilled, the Page Information correctly displays the roman numerals.

saving documents on a mac pro OS 11.6.1 using the latest Indesign version, the save or export box flashes onscreen then vanishes
Using Indesign 2021, V 16.4 on a mac pro with OS Big Sur, 11.6, when I try to export to PDF or save a document, the save box flashes, flickers onscreen then vanishes before I can save. After many many attempts sometimes I'm able to save or export. Frustrating, and for the cost, Indesign should not be doing this.

Save-as – file name not default text field for saving files – 17.0.1
In previous versions, save-as brought up a dialogue where I could start typing or changing the file name right away. Now, I either need to actually click on the file name or press tab three times to get there.
As someone who uses keyboard commands for speed and efficiency, this is annoying. The older version was faster and better. If you could fix this, I'd appreciate it.
On the plus side, you've finally allowed us to use Command-N for a new folder and Command-O to open a file on start-up – which are system-wide Mac standard commands that were somehow…

Hyperlink shifts when replacing preceding characters
If I replace a character in front of a hyperlink with multiple characters using Find/Change, the hyperlink shifts.
(See screeshot: before and after)
If only one character is replaced, no shift occurs. Tested with InDesign CS6, 2020 and 2021, MacOS.
Here you can find a test document:

line break within Hebrew word
InDesign frequently breaks lines of Hebrew text in the middle of words. The work around is to add a Zero Length Joiner, but that can be a tedious process, especially when InDesign keeps that word together but breaks the line in the middle of a different word.

[ID-4224413]JPG 300dpi export with horizontal lines
When I export photo albums as JPG with the latest version, some images have horizontal lines. I've had the problem since macOS 10.14. (now catalina) and with older Indesign versions. If I change the size or position of the image, the stripes may disappear. If I use the DPI e.g. set to 301, the lines will also disappear.
