new frames automatically placed below pasteboard
I am using InDesign 17.2 x64.
Occasionally when pressing the little red box of a text frame to continue the story and then placing it on the next page, the text frame will be placed not on the page but far below the pasteboard. (It will have an X value of anywhere from 68 to 400 inches.) It also increases the size of the pasteboard. This happens regardless if the text frame has an object style applied with a position value, or if it has no object style applied.
It also happens if the the shift key is held down…

Black horizontal lines appear on screen when scrolling
When I expand the Indesign window to fill 90% of my 27" screen, I get numerous black horizontal lines appearing when scrolling. Other editing functions typical when handling type on a layout also produce random broken lines. If I click a page forward or back arrow, the lines disappear. I was first using v16.2 and just upgraded to 16.3.2 today with same results. Just discovered I have to reduce the widow size to about 75% of my screen size for the lines to not appear at all. Never had this happen on previous versions and need almost full screen width…

epub doesn't support the none color. Since it has no colour it needs to output in a way that it is not displayed to the user.
Erub doesn't support the colour "None" which I use when I need to hide text from a document. [ And seriously it would be MUCH easier if you allowed people to post files created in YOUR tools to user voice. You look like you don't care. ]

Right-to-Left and Left-to-Right text boxes and style sheets are confusing
Dear Adobe InDesign Team,
Please simplify how users specify left-to-right Western language text boxes and documents versus right-to-left Middle Eastern language text boxes and documents in the multi language version of InDesign.
There are no fewer that four places where paragraph direction and language specification appear in various places in the InDesign workspace.
Users would benefit from simplification of language-switching tools, because InDesign's interface does not readily expose what language text direction it is using and sometimes switches paragraph direction without users knowing what these international language settings are defaulting to.
My issue had to do with US English text…

pages breaking and vertical lines on screen
When i am working in any document since updating to Indesign 17 including the recent 17.0.1 the pages start to get vertical lines and horizontal lines, and the design elements start overlapping or having duplicates, tables will not display as aligned, trying to select text and my curser is really clicking 2 lines above. If i click "W" to toggle between Presentation view and back sometimes that will fix some of it and other times it will make it worse. I have attached a few screen shots to show how it will display different pages. When i go to export…

Indesign doesn't mark 'single letter' PDF comments in the last words of the lines
Indesign 17.2.1 x64, Win 10
Indesign doesn't mark 'single letter Replace' comments in the last words in the line. If there is 'Replace single letter' in previous words, it works fine, if there is 'Replace whole last word', it works fine.1 vote -
Accessibility square bullet issue
Document is set up following Accessibility guidelines, but instead of round bullets, we used square ones, colored red. All set up correctly using paragraph/character styles. When we use the read out loud voice in Acrobat, it reads "Black Square". A quick search found others with the same issue, with no work around. I should be able to define the square as a bullet, so that Acrobat would know, but even though the bullet is set up in character styles, the reader doesn't see it that way... and it gets the color wrong... though I'd rather it read simply "Bullet."

EPUB export converts nonbreaking hyphens to regular hyphens
EPUB export converts non-breaking hyphens to regular hyphens. This behavior should be corrected immediately and export a non-breaking hyphen in an InDesign document to a "& # 8209 ;" HTML glyph.
This glyph, when inserted into an EPUB XHTML content file via manual editing, is respected by most EPUB readers including Thorium. There is thus no standards-based reason to convert these on export.

paragraph window not working properly
No numbers are showing in the paragraph window. I can manually adjust (sometimes) with the arrows but I have no idea what the numbers are. The numbers which are showing are poking out of their boxes. The justification buttons also sometimes don't work.
I've shut down, restarted, reinstalled etc. I used an older version of InDesign for a while because it's almost impossible to work with. Woke up today and the old version has gone and the new version had installed itself but still has these bugs.
I'm using Indesign 17.3 on MacOS Monterey 12.4.

False icon
Indesign Version 17.2.1
If I save my file as an Indesign file (INDD), the icon on my desktop shows Photoshop and not Indesign. As a result I can't open the file via double-click because then Photoshop opens and says "Der Vorgang konnte nicht ausgeführt werden, weil dieses Dokument nicht vom richtigen Typ ist". So I have to open it via right click, open with Indesign. That's a little bit annoying.1 vote -
Arabic Support Was Suddenly Removed
My default install language is English with Arabic support. InDesign was working normally until I changed a preference setting (disabled Hindi Digits) in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. It was the only change I recently made to any Adobe-related app. I had to reinstall the app to fix the issue.

Do not use Osaka font for PDF page information
When exporting a PDF with the Japanese version of InDesign for Mac, the Osaka font is used for the characters in the page information. If there are voiced or semi-voiced sound marks of Japanese characters in the file name, an error will be displayed and the characters will be garbled because Osaka does not support those characters.
- Name the indd file "だじづでど.indd".
- Export the PDF.
- An error is displayed and the file name of the page information is garbled.
Osaka is no longer a very old font on the Mac. Don't use Osaka now.
Use a font that supports semi-voiced…
