Child masters don't update
I have child masters that are based on a parent master. When I update margins etc on the parent, the child masters are not inheriting those settings as they do in InDesign 2021. The only resolution appears to be changing 'based on' to something else, and then going back and changing 'based on' to its original parent.

Justifying frame or change leading causes text to change
This is happening from time to time. The hyphenation of the word inside the red stroke is removed simply by setting the text frame vertical justfication to 'Justify' or by changing the leading of the paragraph. These modifications should not mess with the text and hyphenation. When this happens, in certain circumstances, it changes the number of lines of the paragraph (see prints), causing the whole story to reflow.

Can't Rename Objects in Layers Panel on MacOS Big Sur
Adobe Indesign 16.1, macOS Big Sur 11.2.3
I cannot rename objects or layers in the layers panel. I've attached a video of the typical triple-click method and all you see is a quick flash of the editing mode but it is never actually able to be edited.
6 votesHello there,
The way to rename in the Layers panel is to click once to highlight, then click again to rename.
Please see the attachment on how it is to be done.

Share for review - Filters don't work for those who commented
When I filter by a reviewer, I only get the edits that were posted first by that person. If they commented on someone else's edit, the filter will not pull those up.

Adjust layout without resizing anchored objects
With the Adjust Layout feature activated, if I resize the margins of a page or apply a master page with different margins, anchored objects on the page end up getting resized. I have even had some anchored objects disappear completely (although the anchors are still there). I want to be able to adjust the main text frame on a page to the new margins WITHOUT changing the anchored objects, which are part of the text flow and should not be changed.
For example, in designing a book, I want to apply a certain master page to pages with chapter headings.…

Command + N doesn't work for New Document
For some unknown reason CMD + N has stopped working as a shortcut for a new document. In the File menu, it says it's programmed as a shortcut, but it doesn't work. I reset the shortcut and it temporarily works. If I open INDD and reset the shortcut, then it'll work when I use it. But if I close INDD and then try Cmd +N, it won't work. I've reset it numerous times. I've lost count of how many times INDD has updated. And nothing fixes this problem.
Currently working on the latest version of INDD (16.1). This problem has…

Export to PDF function crash in InDesign 15.1
Today I have updated to InDesign 15.1 and when I try to export to PDF the application immediately crash.
This happen even I change the type of export (small dimension, print, etc.).
I'm using windows 10 pro ver. 1909 build 18363.836, and Indesign 15.1 x64.
The system start to work but the application crash at 16% of the export.
The problem seems connected with something on the file, because I try to export another project and it work perfectly.
The file was all "green" in the preliminary checks panel.
And I notice that the system crash also using other function,…

Type vanishes once edited in text boxes
Following update of OS to Monterey 12.0.1 and using InDesign 2022 17.0.1, opening files that had been previously created, when editing text within text boxes, as soon as I click elsewhere then the text within the box vanishes - as thought there's not enough room for it, when there is.
Sometimes clicking back on it causes it to reappear, sometimes the box just won't return as a visible element.1 vote -

Printing Documents with VFs directly from InDesign is broken, need to export to PDF first
Hello support team!
We at Dalton Maag noticed that we couldn't print documents containing variable fonts directly from InDesign 16.3 on macOS Big Sur. Export to a PostScript file produces a broken file. The document needs to be exported to PDF first. We found this issue on our client font but managed to reproduce it with Source Serif VF from https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-serif/releases/tag/4.004R.I sent the following files to Josh Hadley at Adobe:
- A ZIP containing test documents, a broken exported PostScript file and a correctly exported PDF file
- An AVI showing how we tested
- A JPG showing what comes out…

Object states button disappears after click
In a multi-state object, the button that activates the MSO disappears after being clicked. No where in the settings have I told it to disappear after being clicked.
Version: I'm running InDesign 16.3.2 (though I downgraded to 16.2 and am still having the problem)
Steps to reproduce issue:
I created the MSO using buttons/forms and the object states panel. Close button should revert back to original state (star).
Expected Result: Button should reappear.
Actual Result: Button is gone after click.Video of ePub preview attached.
The problem is both in the ePub preview and when published online.

Double hyphen in words that already contain hyphen (minus)
Since a few weeks (we think since the InDesign 16.1 x64 update), we see a major problem in a lot of our books:
Words that already contain a hyphen (minus sign: -), and that are hyphenated automatically by InDesign, get a double hyphen!
Normally, when hyphenated words are at the end of the line, the 'hard typed' hyphen gets replaced by the automatic hyphen (with the blue ~ added above it), but now the automated hyphen is added, so we get two consecutive hyphens (--). Sometimes on the same line, sometimes one on the next (see example screenshot).This is…

This used to work but the past years updates have stopped this function, again another thing that worked removed! You used to be able to shift click on a few pages in the pages panel then alt drag them and place them ANYWHERE in the document, sometimes i liked them straight underneath current pages but now for some unknown reason its doesn't allow me to do this with more than one page? when you try to move the selected pages nothing happens and the pages are just duplicated at the end of the document not very helpful with a 100…
