Ruler with "pixel dirt"
I've noticed this "pixel dirt" at the base of the upper ruler. Sometimes, it shows up, I quit and it's gone to later show up again, "out of the blue".

Export to ePub / html removes single characters from class names randomly
On export to ePub and / or html (on Windows 10 64-bit), single characters are removed from class names. This appears to happen randomly (as shown below), but consistently (the same tags will have the same errors after closing and opening the document, after quitting and restarting InDesign, after restarting the computer, and whether exported as ePub or html).
– span class="Colour" becomes span class="Colo r" (set on character style)
– h4 class="Event-Month" becomes h4 class="E ent-Month" (though h4 class="Event-Date" is OK) (both set on paragraph style)
– span class="Link" becomes span class="Lin" (set on character style)These same errors…

save document
I have InDesign 16.0 with a Dell Windows 10 platform. When i use the file->save option InDesign randomnly chooses the folder from all of the document folders opened during the current session for the document to be saved in, rather than the existing folder where the document to be saved originated. Since on any given day, i might have opened 10 documents in 10 different folders, i have remember EVERY document worked on to hunt for my file. It used to be that if i used file->save InDesign would automatically target the source folder from which the document opened.

Stuff missing when writing pdf
When I try to write a PDF using 2021, I often get a failure, or the PDF writes, but a load of detail is missing from it. The only workaround seems to be to write the PDF from the desktop.
What's going on?

African Ajami diacritics not shaping properly
InDesign Version 16.01 and 16.1
InDesign is not properly shaping Arabic diacritics that are used for African languages. When typing the African diacritics they do not attach properly to the base letter and they break script connection. If they African diacritics are substituted for MSA diacritics using Stylistic Sets then it works properly. This problems occurs for all variants of the African Damma.

control palette disappears
When the system comes out of screen saver or sleep mode, the Control palette has disappeared. The only way to make it visible again is to quit and restart the program. InDesign Version 16.1, macOS 10.14.6 Mojave, 2013 MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013). Two monitors: built-in retina display 15.4-inch (2880 x 1800) with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB graphics and 19.5-inch (1920 x 1080) DELL D2015H Display also using NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB graphics. Problem seems to be related to the use of two monitors.

InDesign opens with tiny window
For several recent versions of InDesign, and Windows, including the most recent of both (just updated InD yesterday, and this happened shortly after), I have on rare occasions had InD open as only a tiny box showing only the basic minimize/maximize/close buttons, and a window edge, positioned in the upper left corner. If I click on the maximize button, it goes to maximized, but then cannot grab outer edges to resize the box, and minimizes just goes back to almost nothing. If I then quit InD, USING FILE/QUIT, OR COMMAND-Q, then it will reopen OK. I think, maybe, this is…

Fails to save, needs to be recovered every time document opened.
Only way to save is make a small change, repair and recover then do not close until finished.

Endnotes with links incorrect when exporting to an accessible PDF file.
When exporting an InDesign file to an accessible PDF file (tagged PDF), if any endnotes contain hyperlinks, the tagging structure is messed up. Starting with the first hyperlink (not the links for the endnote references), all of the endnotes from that point on are in the link tag for that first hyperlink. I encountered a very similar bug a few years ago when exporting to the EPUB format with documents that contained endnotes that finally got resolved a year or so after the bug was reported.

IDS 2021 (16.x Windows) Locks up when loading indd file with missing font in paragraph style
InDesign Server 2021 Windows Edition (16.x)
We had several indd files that had a Paragraph Style listing a font that was not actually used anywhere in the document (no text in the file was using that font.). In other words, the Style said it used "font a", but there was never ANY text actually using "font a" in the file. "Font A" is a non-system font that was installed on the desktop. If you load the indd file in InDesign Desktop, no errors occur, and Preflight says there are no errors, as expected.
If you remove the file from the…1 vote -
CC Libraries placing permission error
Indesign Version 16.1
Mac OS 10.14Indesign doesn´t let me place graphics (testet JPG, PSD, PDF files) trough the CC Libraries panel. I can open/edit them, via double click, in Photoshop/Acrobat/Illustrator though.
I tested this with older libraries I already had a few versions of Indesign before. I also testet this with a library I just created. Still the same error .

Converting footnotes to endnotes removes inline styling
InDesign 16.0.1
macOS 10.14.6Currently if using the 'Convert Footnotes and Endnotes' function, any inline styling of the text contained within the footnote is being removed. Eg text which is formatted as italic is being converted into non-italic etc.
Fortunately this doesn't appear to affect any character styles which have been applied, but it still creates a very high risk of losing formatting.
Ideally conversion from footnotes/endnotes should not alter the content.

Fit Content to Frame on textbox makes huge gap at the bottom
InDesign 16.1 x64 on Windows 10
When I select a textbox and select Fit Frame to Content (by shortcut, menu or toolbar button), the textbox is resized correctly on the horizontal plane, but the height of textbox jumps to an incredibly stupid size.
Double-clicking on the bottom centre textbox frame handle then resizes the height correctly - thus creating an extra step for the functionality that was previously a single shortcut key.
Video attached.

URL link loses its link info
When importing a Word file whose text includes over 150 URLs, the link info gets dropped for some of those links. This has happened with several competely different projects for me. I am including the Word file, and also a PDF -- exported from the INDD file. The bad links are circled in the PDF (as comments).
Evidently this site does not allow me to upload the INDD file (even when it is Zipped) -- which seems odd, since you might need it to diagnose the problem.
THIS IS A BUG REPORT, not an "idea". Prior versions of InDesign did…1 vote -

Tracking gets lost with IDML
Hi guys,
We use the IDML format to transfer data with our translation office. I realized when I open the translated IDML files again the paragraph styles which include values for tracking in paragraph or character styles lost these values.
I hope no ther settings in the styles are affected.Is there a workaround to fix this or is it already on the bugfix to-do-list?
