Effects affecting all elements instead of the selected
Recently I've noticed that whenever I try to add an effect, it affects ALL elements as opposed to just the selected object.
The first time I noticed, I thought it would go away when I restart the computer but it's still happening! In the screenshot below, the top left was indeed the only one that got the dropshadow treatment but as soon as I hit that add dropshadow button, all the box changed their colors (see the purple and blue box)
Tried Googling for a solution but couldn't find any. Anybody experienced(ing) the same thing? How did you fix it?

Indesign 2021 nuked my custom workspaces
Personal saved workspaces do not migrate from 2020 to the new 2021 version of Indesign.
- Version: Indesign 2021
- Steps: Automatic upgrade from 2020
- Expected: user interface continuity
- Actual: blew a deadline having to take the time to hunt down and manually move my workspace xml files over to the new version with the help of a reluctant tech via support chat
Luckily, manually moving the xml files seems to be a viable workaround, but there's no excuse for this bug. If a new version of Indesign is capable of automatically migrating preferences and workspaces, IT SHOULD HAPPEN, and if it…

Hairlines/artifacts randomly appearing on screen
1) InDesign 16.1 (and othre versions)
2) Place an image or object. Apply a drop shadow. Pan/scroll, zoom, enable or dissable output preview
3) Consistent rendering.
4) Glitches of bands of light or dark pixels may appear over images, in transparencies and effects. These may come and go depending on resolution preview mode, zoom and/or if overprint preview is rendered. (The lines are similar to tiling lines in PDFx1a in that they are rendering glitches presumably caused by floating point calculations)

Script | Selection on merged row makes indesign crash
Hi everyone,
I'm facing a new problem with a script I was working on, it is supposed to read every cells I selected and let me apply a cell and paragraph style. It works fine unless my first selection is a merge row and the second one a row without any merge.
so selecting this two rows with this code makes indesign crash (see: rows.png):
try {
var mySelection = app.selection[0];
alert(app.selection[0].contents)
} catch (e) {
alert("error\n" + e.number + ": " + e.message)
}Thanks for your help,
Nicolashere's an example of my selection that crashes (error.png)

EXPORTATION JPEG - GESTION DES COULEURS
- L'exportation jpeg ne tient pas compte des pseudonymes du gestionnaire d'encre.
- Le résultat de l'exportation jpeg ne tient pas compte non plus du type d'encre utilisée (transparente ou opaque). Le premier point à été résolu par un script, merci de l'inclure dans les fonctionnalités d'Indesign. Le deuxième point n'a pas pu être corrigé, merci de faire le correctif.

Images Blurry when PDFing from Book
I'm working with catalog documents in an .indb file and when PDFing from the book, without any other files open, all of the images come out looking like they are unlinked.
Images are all high resolution and linked in their individual files
I am using press quality/X1A presets with no compression set
Preflight shows no errorsThe only way to get clear images is to have every single INDD from the book open and THEN make the PDF, which, to me, defeats the purpose of the book functionality.
I don't remember this being an issue in earlier versions but i…

Object Layer Options Causing Image to Glitch
When Object Layer Options are used (top image over graphic, bottom image under graphic box, for example), the image will glitch and polarize. When moving around the document or toggling between regular view and preview mode etc, the image will sporadically go back to normal or alter its representation.
Normal behaviour is for the image to show as expected.
Running 16.0.2

PNG Export Quality
There is a huge difference in the rendering quality of JPEGs vs PNGs in InDesign.
See attached document that demonstrates the difference between the two formats, exported from the same InDesign document, using maximum quality, 72 DPI with anti-aliasing turned on.
The obvious differences are the moiré in the white top and the edges of the legs in the girl at the bottom, including the fine detail in the stitching.
It would be great if the PNG export engine could be improved.

No SEO capabilities when publishing online.
If you could add SEO capabilities to Interactive PDFs when using the "publish online..." option in InDesign that would be wonderful.
