Paragraph borders and shading
Corner size and shape arrows don't work. You have to manually type in a value. I thought that in doing so it would activate the arrows but no.

Drop Shadow is Very Buggy Within the App for Text
The drop shadow effect is very buggy in the editor and has been for quite some time. I just dealt with it for the longest time but it seriously slows down production when I'm constantly having to "fix" it by making a change to the text then Undoing it (i.e. delete a character, then press Command+Z). The bug happens when Drop Shadow is applied to text and you scroll down the page a bit. The attached images show the before and after. If I scroll down the page after "fixing" it, it just re-bugs out. I work with white text…

Home Welcome Screen Blank After Update on all Apps
After the recent set of updates, Indesign does not show the welcome screen. When i try to create a new document (CNTRL+N, File>New>Document) the app hangs and i have to restart the app. I am able to open existing files, but not create new ones. Worked around the problem by selecting "Use Legacy New Document Dialog", but i would like to get my home/Welcome screen back.

I wish Adobe would fix the issue cannot openn file up. You may not have permission or the document may already be open so people like me don't have to rename the file that wouldn't open up or change the location where the file is saved at all.

AdobeFnt.lst automatically reappears after deleting
InDesign version: 15.0.2
Suddenly (after the latest March 2020 InDesign update?) the AdobeFont.lst file created with InDesign packages automatically shows up with folder structure after deleting a package. This is really aggravating for file management. It's as if my team can't fully delete InDesign packages. This is happening with multiple InDesign files on multiple machines.

Thanks for your feedback.

won't save
InDesign 2021 randomly looses the ability to export or save. The dialog box won't even come up, even though the menu option isn't greyed out. This makes me loose all progress.

can't see content when opening file, covered with red or black blocks or lines
Issue started with upgrade to InDesign 16.2.1 that when I open file, content appears blank or covered with red or black blocks or lines. I have to repeatedly resize the window in order to work on the page. I also noticed issues when editing text. It only allows me to edit text that is one or two lines above where the cursor appears—very frustrating!

locked layers are invisible
I have an issue with locked layers: they are invisible in the layer-panel. I can only see them in the layout-view. I cannot edit, delete or unlock them. I can only make them invisible by disabling the "eye".
This happend to a file that was packed about 2 years ago. Unfortunately, even the IDML-File can't be edited. What's wrong?

InDesign v.17.1: Crashes while pasting.
InDesign v.17.1: Crashes while pasting. Elements disappearing. Working on an InDesign 2020 file, 2nd edition of a book. It's a 496-page book, full of tables and images. For some unknown reason, a lot of elements have just disappeared from a few pages and when I try to paste anything into the file, InDesign just shuts down. Please help.
PS: After a couple of hours of searching, I found this text frame containing the text that has disappeared. It has a chapter name that had gone missing. This has happened only in one section of the book. This particular style 'Chapter…

Random blocks of color, screen skipping
InDesign v16.2.1 - Started getting large blocks of color in my InDesign docs - never in the same file, appears randomly but always when scrolling. And this morning, a weird "skipping" thing happened - see attached. I've updated my iOS, un- and reinstalled InDesign to no avail.
