find/change text missing search: selection
after making a selection, the Find/Change text dialog sometimes does not offer Selection in the Search dropdown. It will be present under GREP and Object, but not Text and Glyph. Closing/reopening Find/Change does not fix it. Restarting InDesign usually fixes it...until it goes missing again.

Please Allow Mutliple Text Modification!
I HATE that I have to literally individually select each text in order for me to manipulate it in any way whether its changing the colors or size or the formatting. Its SUPER annoying and makes me and most of my classmates want to avoid using inDesign at all costs. We use it because our teacher makes us and there aren't many ways to do text formatting on illustrator. But on illustrator it can be easily done by just selecting all the text or using the eyedropper tool. But on indesign there are these stupid useless features like text box…

'Apply italic' Shortcut Issue
Prior to v16, Shift-Command-I applied the active font's italic to selected text. But in v16, it is applying the font's bold italic.
I see no way to affect this in the Keyboard shortcuts panel. It simply lists "Apply italic" with the correct shortcut.

When switching from normal to preview, the type on a book page reflows and some type disappears.
InDesign 2020: During work I often switch between normal and preview. Working on a long book, type has been disappearing on the Preview Page when I switch to that view from "normal". I quit InDesign, re-start, and things go ok for a while.

Indesign type/font glitch
Has anyone experienced a glitch which means whenever you type a certain letter in indesign it glitches?? Every time I (or others working off the same server) type "r" when writing text in a specific indesign doc (both using most up-to date version 16.1, on either mac catalina or big sur), it doesn't type "r", but also causes the text style to change to the basic paragraph text style. It does this for all fonts.
It doesnt happen in any other documents, and we can paste "r" in or correct spelling in this document without it glitching.

character style list flashes but won't open
Sometimes, ID gets into a state where the Character Style drop-down list will not drop down. I can click either the list item itself or the little [v] button to its right, nothing happens. If I click it again, the screen will just flash open the list for just an instant, but it will not drop down the list and let me select from it. The only workaround is to use View › Character Styles, which slows me down quite a bit, because I usually leave the View › Paragraph Styles window open.

Text with missing fonts are invisible in InDesign 16.1 macOS Catalina
Missing fonts in a document were usually showed with a replaced standard font and a light red highlight, so it pops you in the eye directly.
In the new InDesign 16.1 on macOS Catalina 10.15.7 this feature is suddendly missing for me. The text with the missing font is completely invisible. Just an empty textbox. Just when you klick in it or open the preflight window, there you can see the errors.Did I miss some new settings? Sometimes you just want to quickly edit the text and generate the final pdf later. Would be great if can enable this…

Slow Performance issue in the InDesign application
Very Slow Performance
Yes, InDesign is extremely slow today 2020-06-19, almost unusable, even many months after being discovered.
The most worrying is that it seems that this bug was discovered in September 2019.As David wrote 2019-09-04: “Almost every action from selecting objects, resizing objects, or moving objects comes with a really slow reaction time”.
Behaviour:
InDesign freezes, and my cursor starts spinning around (CPU jumps to 95-98%) for almost 30-45 seconds before I can continue with next command.
The behaviour is random, but when it starts working slow, then it continues. It usually happens when I open two InDesign…18 votesMany internal as well as external factors can cause the InDesign application to perform poorly.
We completed the investigation and came up with the following: Either the issue has been resolved in the most recent release of InDesign (Refer to InDesign Release notes), the issue was intermittent at the time of reporting and is no longer reproducible, or the InDesign version mentioned in the report is no longer covered by Creative Cloud Support Policy.
We would recommend you upgrade to the latest version as it is more robust. If you are still facing this issue even after updating it, create a new UserVoice thread or Contact Adobe support.

Problem with the display of the navigation bar on an Android smartphone and tablet of a document published by publish online
Hi all,
I have a strange situation with a document that I created in InDesign and then published online using "Publish Online". From there I got a link to share.
On the desk, everything is fine. But the problem is with Android devices where the options tab with next page, previous page, download button and others disappears after a few seconds and there is no way to get it back.
It is not possible to navigate between the pages of the document.
This is the bar with the options I am talking about in the attachment.
Is there something that…

Spellcheck Bug
Spellcheck/User Dictionary keeps defaulting to random languages and cannot not be changed. I've changed my preferences to English (US) several times manually and it will not fix the problem. Please fix this bug.

Interactive "Go to Page" destinations don't update when pages are added or removed from document.
One of the possible interactive actions in a document is "Go to Page." I can have a button jump the Publish Online view to a different page in the document. Unlike EVERY other page-related function in InDesign, the page number designated doesn't update if a page is added or removed between the button and the target page.
Example:
I set a button on page 3, that when clicked jumps the view to page 10. If, later in the document creation/editing process, a page is deleted between these pages, the view still jumps to page 10, not page 9 which is…

publish online doesn't respect layout
I can't drop screenshots for confidentiality reasons, but the proportions of objects in the exported 'Publish online' site don't match proportions in the inDesign document.
-images are strangely blurry even though they have more than enough resolution
-online objects not aligning with where they appear to on page in working doc, and scaling/cropping within their boxes differently too.1 vote -
InDesign stalls with with new MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
InDesign is stalling (pausing for up to 30 second) regularly on my new MacBook Air with the Silicon M1 chip. I know it is an Intel Based program but I don't think the emulator is working. Shouldn't Rosetta 2 download automatically when I use InDesign? I presume you (the good folks at Adobe) are working to make it native to the new chip. Happy Holidays. Seth
