Bug in the "Table of contents" in the "Book" function
Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a manual in InDesign (version: 17.0.1) created in the "Book" function.
I created a first "Table of Contents" that I can edit without problem.
For the purpose of the book, I have to create a second "Table of Contents".
But as soon as I want to edit this second Table of Contents, the InDesign application quits on its own.
I work on Mac. First, I "saved as" and, secondly, I did the same thing, after resetting the InDesign preferences.
I still cannot create 2 "Tables of contents" in the "Book" function.
I would…1 vote -
Variable Fonts: Align Stroke to Center shows overlaps
When using variable fonts, the Align Stroke to Center shows the overlaps in letters with live text (not good). If I use Align Stroke to Outside the overlaps arenʻt shown with live text (good) but once I use Type > Create Outlines the overlaps are shown (not good).
This happens in many variable fonts, for example Source Code VF Concept (see screenshot attached), but also true with my own variable fonts and those from other type foundries.
With the non-variable font version, the Stroke looks good in all settings mentioned here. The variable font version should look the same. Thank…

Artefact issues with Accessible PDFs.
Elements on the master page are not tagged as artifacts, according to PAC 3.
Not even with a corresponding style that has this property.
PAC 3: https://www.access-for-all.ch/en/pdf-accessibility-checker.htmlThis behavior also applies to these elements on a normal page:
- Table borders
- Paragraph border
- Column rules
...This is a big problem because these elements have to be defined manually as artifacts. This can quickly be hundreds of elements.

[ID-4260994]The filter in the review panel is automatically changing to "resolved"
This happens very frequently.
I will be going through user comments given online in the Indesign Review tab. As I do them I resolve them. This works fine.
But then suddenly and randomly it will just decide to change my filter to show all resolved! Then all the old issues magically appear in the tab again until I go back to filter and unselect the Resolved button.
Then it happens again. And again. It happens only when I go to change something in the document but it doesn't seem to matter what type of issue i'm doing. Replacing text. Deleting,…

Cannot create the link resource from the given URI
On a brand new Mac running OS 12.0.1 (Monterey). Restored from a Time Machine backup and didn't have this issue before. I use Bridge to select and insert images into InDesign picture boxes by selecting the image, right-clicking and selecting "Place" then "In InDesign" and the image has always been properly placed. However, since upgrading to the new OS, when I select and try to place, I get this error:
"Cannot create the link resource from the given URI." The Mac switches to InDesign, but no image is placed. Workarounds are very cumbersome as I'm often working with lots of…1 vote -
Dragging the mouse to select text randomly moves the entire sheet
When dragging the mouse to select text in a text box it would sometimes move the entire page and pasteboard to the left or right when reaching the text box frame. This is a very old, extremely annoying behavior. It exists at least since CS4.
The biggest question: why does it move at all?1 vote -
Workspace reverts to Essential every time a document opens
Hi there, I'm having an issue where every document that I open reverts the workspace to Essential. Is there a way to set this to my desired setting and make it stick. I've scoured the forums and tried everything mentioned from clearing caches and preferences to uninstalling and reinstalling. I've set the workspace with no documents open and closed and reopened the app but it just reverts back to Essential when I open a new/existing document.
Please help! This is driving me crazy as I have to do it every time I open a document.

100% scaling is anything but
I have a MacBook Pro 16" (Intel) with an external Samsung 5k monitor.
Starting recently, when I select View –> Actual size I get a tiny document not by any means represented @ 100%. See screenshot.
Formerly, the command has rendered an almost 1:1 representation, which is what could be expected (not least since the command is called "actual size" and that the resulting window header says "100%").
The issue is described here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/recent-changes-to-gui-scaling/m-p/12578562.

Layer visibility toggle should indicate mixed visibility status of sub layers
InDesign V 16.4, Current Creative Cloud as of 2021-11-14.
Currently - The top Layer visibility icon (within the layers palette) does not indicate a mixed visibility status of sub layers.
I have a rather complex layer set in a document I'm working on where I have master pages with master pages based on other master pages and linked objects within the document.
I just spent over an hour trying to locate a hidden object. I incorrectly assumed that, when looking at the layers palette, with all the layer stacks closed (layer list contracted where only the top level was shown)…2 votes -

Transparency issue when placing from CC Library
Transparent items and graphics that have been saved into the CC library for YEARS that when placed into InDesign would place with those transparency settings and no issues.
NOW I've updated to Adobe 2021 and suddenly those graphics that have been saved in there for years and even very recently before the update, are now placing into InDesign with white backgrounds. This seems to be a problem for many users.
This is causing so many headaches and I don't know how to fix this for hundreds of graphics saved in various CC libraries. So far, the only fix I've found…

In some Hebrew fonts, part of the letter punctuation is missing or appears in the wrong place
Adobe version 17.0.1.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Copy text with punctation, (like the poem from here: https://benyehuda.org/read/30477).
2. Create in InDesign an RTL text area, and paste the text.
3. Change font to Alef Regular.
Expected results: correct location of punctation marks inside letters and above.
Actual results: missing or wrong location.
See screenshot attached.1 vote -
Not all spaces are rendered correctly with World-Ready Composer
The narrow no-break space (U+202F) is not rendered correctly when the World-Ready Composer is used: its width becomes equal to a normal space, instead of being thin.
See attachment for illustration (the problem occurs regardless of the font used), reproduced with InDesign v16.4.
This problem is maybe related to https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/41793187-bug-since-cs6-nonbreaking-space-s-issue-wit

[ID-4261011] In Find/Change, search for font style (eg "Book") incorrectly selects "Regular" style text, even if "Book" style isn't present
In InDesign 2021 (the latest version both on Mac and Windows), I add a text frame and fill it with placeholder text which is set, by default, to Minion Pro - Regular.
Then I go to the find-change dialog box and set 'find format > basic character format > font style' to Book.
And guess what happens when I hit the ‘find next’ button? It selects all the ‘regular text. (The document has no text with the 'book' font style applied!)
Selecting another style — e.g. Bold, Italic, etc. — results, as expected, in the 'cannot find match' alert.
