Drop shadow is not updating after text is changed.
After giving a text box saying "New Music" a drop shadow, I duplicated the field and changed the text to Limewire. The drop shadow behind it did not change.
I've set the distance to farther than it was before to demonstrate it more clearly, also showing that the problem is not fixed after attempting to refresh it by changing settings.

InDesign Slow in MacOS Catalina when using a calibrated screen profile.
I am an experienced user of Adobe products for over 20 years. My current subscription is to Adobe Creative Suite (full). I am using a Mac Pro running MacOS 10.15.7 (Catalina) on NVMe SSD with 48 GB RAM and AMD 5700 XT GPU with 8GB VRAM. All Adobe apps are up to date.
If I use a calibrated screen profile, InDesign becomes extremely slow, so that every selection of a menu item, every key-press, every pan or drag, becomes incredibly slow.
This fault is independent of document size (it happens with a new document, with one blank page). It is…

InDesign 16.2.1 + Mojave still missing Create New Folder (cmd+shift+N) and Show Original (cmd+R)
Adobe please fix this issue. It very frustrating that you can not create folder inside open/save window dialog with a shortcut. Every other program allows that. Am I the only one that is using keyboard shortcuts? This bug is there now for about half a year. Is it really so hard to fix this? Pleeeeeease.

Indesign incredibly slow or crashes with more than one document open
InDesign (15.0.2) becomes almost unusable with more than (1) document open. Trying to copy text or images from one document to the next or just work in one of the documents while the other is open results in minutes-long wait times (or complete crash) to even select a text box, type a character, etc.
Steps to reproduce:
Open INDD doc (either on network or desktop)
Open second INDD doc
Attempt to edit text in either doc or copy over text from one document to the nextSet-up info:
InDesign 15.0.2

Layer hidden by top layer
I have a layer with text and images and then a layer below it will squares of solid colors. Whenever the text layer is visible and on top, the colors cannot be seen despite there being areas where they should be completely visible. The text box is set to transparent as well. When I move the colored squares to the text layer they can be seen. How can this be fixed without having the squares be moved to the text layer?

Index not listed correctly after converting IDML file to INDD
When I convert INDD files to IDML, and then I convert those again in INDD the index file disassembles completely the layers.
It seems to happen from the third level like in this example and the PNG file attached:
Chapter 5
5.9
1.1.1
1.1.1
1.1.2
1.1.2.1
1.1.2.2How can I avoid that, and let the Index keep the right list from the first conversion?

nested style bug
InDesign 16.0 and 16.0.1
Mac OS 11.1.1I am struggling with adding a custom character to the 4th column of the nested style definition. I can pull down the menu to access the presets, but when I want to add a custom character (like Opt+8 for a bullet) it's not working as expected.
If I'm persistent, I can type it in sometimes, and sometimes it takes it but still shows the first menu item (Word).
This is happening in multiple documents. I have reset preferences and installed 16.0.1, with the same result.

Handling error sizing with frame with contour (centered/outside).New bug!? Frames with contour: Are now shifted into each other after simult
Scaling with undesirable erroneous result:
Affects frames whose outline is either:
A. centered or
B. aligned to the outside of the frame
(Frames where the contour is aligned on the inside of the frame are not affected by this error. There the scaling still works correctly as desired).Recently, such frames (with a contour A/B) shift into each other undesirably after simultaneous resizing (see screenshot) and lose their original arrangement to each other!
I don't know with which version this new bug appeared,
but it is annoying and makes work slower again.With Illustrator the error does not occur. There…

No frame edges for lines or ankerpoint visible anymore?
Problem: Line objects no longer have "frame edges" in the normal view! Lines without line thickness, white lines (which do not lie over a background), individual nodes are thus invisible in the layout!
To find slipped lines again or to find several rest fragments like single nodes again becomes a patience and search game!
The (line-) or frame edges appear only if you either select everything or if you move the mouse over the line or the single node randomly (mouseover). Simple is different!
This was not always so! No idea when this was changed! But it was a very…

Flipped text in PDF created from Canva
When placing a PDF with certain stylized fonts, the text is being flipped and enlarged. Seems to be specific to Mac OS.
PDF docs have been created in Canva. They appear correctly when opened in Adobe Acrobat Pro, both on Windows and Mac. They are being placed in InDesign, and at that time the text titles being flipped and enlarged. I am working from v. 16.0.1. This was not an issue in previous versions. When I use png docs instead, and place those, I have no issues. I have been an Indesign user for about 3 years.
4 votesThe fix for this issue is available in the latest InDesign release 16.2.1
Please update to this latest version to get the fix.—

Big problems with Illustrator files in InDesign
When I change something in a linked Illustrator file it doesn't update the image on the page in InDesign even though it's refreshed in the link tab.
And today I saw that a part of an image was missing (a little bit was outside the image frame) in a pdf file. So I looked at the InDesign file, but it looked ok. Then I changed the image to show in high resolution and all of a sudden the page refreshed and the linked file was updated and was now showing the same error as in the pdf.
So it seems…7 votes
