Alt-PgDn inserts glyph after moving to next spread
InDesign 16.0 x64
Normally (and on the MAC), the user can press Alt/Opt+PgDn to center the next spread on the screen.
This is now broken on Windows. At least on the 2 PC's I use, both of which are up to date on Windows and Creative Cloud.
What happens now is that when the Alt key is released, a glyph is inserted into the text. And this causes the display to jump back so the insertion point is visible on screen.
Of course, if I'm not currently editing inside a text frame, the glyph doesn't appear, because there's no place for it…

Hyperlink window not working
Hello,
I'm working on a file from February 2020 that contains hyperlinks. Every time I click to use the Hyperlink window to edit/update urls my InDesign locks up. However, when I try this in a new file I created in December, I'm not having any issues with the hyperlinks window/tool.
I'm using the latest version of InDesign CC (16.1).
I open the file, click the Hyperlinks window and the program locks up to where I have to force quit.(Not sure if it matters - I'm adding this comment from my Mac, but I'm trying to do this work on…

QuickLook preview?
Almost every file on my computer is a Space Bar press away from a quick glance to review it's content. Many even allow for scrolling through the pages of a pdf or presentation, but InDesign still only displays and icon. Even with "Always save Preview Images with Document" selected.
I've seen this issues being discussed back to 2007 and it still hasn't been addressed beyond "use a 3rd party"... that's a terrible answer to missing features.1 voteThis feature is available in the latest version of InDesign - InDesign 2023.

ID 2021 16.1 - Text variable shows wrong content randomly
When I use filename as text variable on the master template, the variable's output shows an incorrect value. On some pages (even Master) there are wrong letters in the filenames output, on other pages the filename ist correctly. It happens randomly in the same document. I've seen it in several documents.

Catastrophic loss of index data
Yesterday I laboriously created an index of a 60-page document. Today, half of the index entries are gone. And the IDML backup I made of the file shows all index entries as "PN," which, of course, is totally incorrect.
It appears that the file lost all index entries after page 40, yet I know they were there yesterday, since I entered them laboriously for hours on end.

last window size unremembered when application frame turned off
InDesign on Mac 16.102 will not remember last open document size when Application Frame is turned off. When no document is currently open and I want to open a new document it always fills the entire space on my monitor between the tools on the left and the pallets on the right. I have to manually drag the new document window to the size I want. It's not convenient and user friendly! If the Application frame is turned on - it WILL remember. But as a Mac user I want that frame turned off - like it used to be.

Linking a CMYK Illustrator .AI file in an CMYK InDesign imports colors as RGB
When importing a CMYK Illustrator file in a CMYK InDesign document it converts the colors to RGB.
This happens in InDesign 2020, 15.1.3. Not certain how long this has been an issue. We recently had to change our links in many files from .AI to EPS / PDF files.

bug: empty textbox
InDesign 16.1 x64, Windows 10
InDesign wraps text incorrectly when layout adjustments are made. Empty text frames occur. Only when the size of the text frames is changed, they are filled with text again.

InDesign 16.1 - nested styles read line break as Paragraph return.
If I place a shift-return in a paragraph with a nested style, the program reads it as a paragraph return and behaves as if the new line is an new paragraph, adding the starting nested style to the new line.

hide cursor in presentation mode
When in presentation mode (shift+w) I would like to be able to hide the cursor. Even if I move it to the edge of the screen, it's still visible and distracting from the presentation itself.
