Missing or Damaged Links in 17.0.1
Just opened file created two years ago in InDesign. Links panel shows links ok, but pages show gray rectangles. Replacing the link seems to help, except if the link is a PDF. Those are not working at all. They show up on screen as pixelated, even at high screen resolution setting; but print as gray rectangles.

Document grid hiding guides
When unchecking "Grids in back" in preferences>grids, the document grid hides all guides that are places on it.
That is, if for instance I place a ruler guide at the 2mm mark, and it happens to fall on the document grid (or its subdivisions), it will not show.
That is even when the guides are in a different color.
This is extremely problematic, especially in cases where I want to have an image/solid color as a background for my spread, and I want to make use of the document grid and also specially placed guides.
Please fix this, or at…

Adobe InDesign published document
When viewing a document for review, if you scroll too quickly and then reverse the direction of the scroll, it can get caught into a scrolling loop that I cannot stop. It scrolls up and down incredibly quickly on it's own. I have to exit the document and then come back in. Happens in Chrome and Firefox.

Review: Previous feedback is no longer displayed in previous file version
Previous feedback is no longer displayed in previous file version! This is extremely tedious when checking the files, because even if you make a copy of the file and assign a new review link to it, your colleagues cannot compare the corrections with their comments. Likewise, I cannot check whether I have received the feedback with the subsequently marked errors and thus adopted them.

Shortcuts register/work without modifier key
You can enter one letter, number, and symbol to keyboard shortcuts for Style Options.
The characters you typed are not displayed, but starting with InDesign 2020(15), it will act as a shortcut.
This should be disabled.
Prior to InDesign 2019(14), registration did not work.

Persistent Spinning Beachball
I am using InDesign 2022 v. 17.1. I get a spinning beachball that lasts for six seconds each time I click. Opening a file or switching between InDesign and another program results in a much longer beachball. Several minutes after the document is open, the beachball becomes permanent and the program becomes unresponsive.

Fixing images and text wrap
Since a longer time there is a bug, that makes it impossible to let the text flow around beside an image, while this image is fixed with a anchor mark. The line, where the anchor mark is set doesn’t flow around. That makes an unhappy compronise necessary: Either you don’t set the anchor mark and the image doesn’t flow with the text or you set an manual word wrap.
This should be fixed because in other programs it also works.

On Export - "Save As" name field not consistently highlighted by default
- 15.1.3 version
- Open InDesign, open file, click on a page, CMD E to export.
- Expect "SAVE AS" field highlighted to be able to change export name, as with previous versions.
- Sometimes nothing appears to be highlighted, taking hitting TAB several times to get to the "SAVE AS" field. However, sometimes it is highlighted - so this is not a consistant problem - as sometimes it does come up highlighted. It does seem that when I first open a file / export - that it is not highlighted, but after that, it does come up correctly highlighted.

Control Panel missing fields for Type
Updated to InDesign 17.2 and noticed that some of the fields to the right in the Control Panel are missing for type. Using 27-inch monitor in full screen mode. If take out of full screen mode and move my window way over to the left off screen, and pull the Control panel out, then I see the fields. They used to fit.

2021 variable font repeatedly unavailable causing InDesign to freeze
In InDesign (version 17.0.1), I am using Acumin Variable, which initially shows up with no issues. However, InDesign begins freezing and minutes later, a pop up notification says the variable font is unavailable. This has been on-going and other designers I collaborate with are experiencing the same problem with this font.

inDesign creates an invalid href for an Archive.org link
When InDesign creates the href for a link from Archive.org it does not href to archive.org, but to the dead link.
example:
https://web.archive.org/web/20220320173121/https://freewheelingeasy.com/
creates the href for "https://freewheelingeasy.com/"
rather than the correct href of "https://web.archive.org/web/20220320173121/https://freewheelingeasy.com/"1 vote -
User Interface got large
The User interface got large and many commands in the control bar have been hidden even if I set it on Small in the preferences!
I can't get the small interface that was in the previous version.2 votesDid you open Preferences > User Interface Scaling and try to change the slider?
You’d need to restart InDesign to see the changes.—
