Share for Review is showing files in low res very blurry
I'm using PSD files linked in my InDesign, they look blurry like low res even the fonts used in the PSD https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:4e60c8e1-8ba1-46f0-af66-23ef2b71ac21?view=published
Is there any option to share for review low res or high res please let us know, but I don't remember this happening to me before, they were shared always clear.

Popup menus appearing off screen, and move shortcut not working to move them back to where they are accessible.
make popup menus either appear on one of my 3 screens, preferably the screen that indesign program is open on. And if that is too hard, let the alt-space-m shortcut to move menus work. One at the moment is the find replace fonts. it's off screen and no way to bring it back that i can find.

Clearer online navigation arrows on web - Accessibility & UX Improvements
Currently, the page navigation arrows are not defined enough for accessibility and clearer navigation. If someone has a published doc that is a white background, one can not see the page navigations in the main view clearly at all and people assume it's just one page. Also, the hover-over fade also can cause the assumption that it's one page.
A suggested solution is to make the directional arrows, non-fade and a 1pt thicker and more defined drop shadow...

Drop shadow in exported PDF is a different size
Certain drop shadows have a different size when they appear in an exported PDF.
In the attached example, the black shapes each have a drop shadow effect in yellow. When exported, the shadows appear shorter and narrower. The difference is approximately 20 pt narrower and 1 pt shorter. (Note the difference in proportion of the yellow drop shadow and black shape in the screenshots.) I've also included the drop shadow effect attributes.
This occurs with multiple PDF export settings including the default [High Quality Print]. I am able to reproduce this behavior in both InDesign versions 15.1.2 and 16.0.

Weird Bug with Resize to Frame
Resize frame to content messes up and I'm not sure if it's something to do with a setting I have set since this doesn't always happen.
Basically, I'll have a frame around some content with text in it.
When I hit "resize frame to content" ctrl-alt-c, it resizes the frame to the full document width, which looks like the example.
I obviously expect the frame to resize to the content, not to be super wide like the entire document.

Unknown character inserted before hyphen in PDF export
InDesign v16.1
We have an InDesign file where the word "papier" is hyphenised by InDesign in this way "pa-pier", but after exporting in PDF, an unknown character was inserted before the hyphen and is shown as the letter "u" overlapping a displaced hyphen. Copy/pasting the word from the PDF gives this: pa�-pier
If the PDF is exported again, the problem is not reproduced.

'see' reference in index
InDesign CC, latest version
Strange bug (or at least unwanted behavior) I encountered today in Indesign:
For a new book project, I used an earlier book as a template (a lot of the settings and styles should be the same), replacing all the text and images. The index in the earlier book contained 'see'-references. For the new book I generated a new index ('replace old index' checked), and the 'see'-references (just these) from the old book also showed up!
I would expect checking the 'replace old index' box would prevent this.
Not a big deal (the faulty entries were easy…1 vote -

Nested styles no longer working.
InDesign 2021
Used to be able to set a nested style up to or through any specific character (for example a : . Now that option is not working any more. Can only select from the drop down menu. Can work around with a grep style but it's not as easy to get it right.

Cannot see open file windows (v 16.3.2)
I upgraded to InDesign v 16.3.2 this morning and now I am not able to use it, as file windows are not visible. The Windows menu lists the files that are open, but they cannot be seen.
Update: discovered that files can be seen if Application Frame is switched off under the Windows menu, but nothing can be seen if it's switched on again.

Blank EPUB Interactivity Panel in InDesign 16.3.2 on MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) running OS 10.15.7 Catalina.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign. I've installed it again deleting all old prefs. I've restarted reinstalled software and dumped prefs on start up holding down Shift/Ctrl/ALT/Cmd keys, and 'Yes' clicked when asked if I want to delete preferences file. I am at my wits end with this issue.
