2. "Go-to-Folder" Shortcut Not Working When InDesign Opens Finder

   About two updates prior to the last 2021 update that was released, the shortcut Commnand+Shift+G that would normally open the "Go-to-Folder" dialog box when doing something like relinking an image stopped working.

   Unlike windows, where a file's location path can be copied and pasted at any time into an address bar, the "Go-to-Folder" menu can only be accessed via shortcut on Mac (as far as I am aware). It is very inconvenient to have to go through every folder individual folder, when I want to relink or place something, instead of being able to directly go to where the file is located.

3. table content moving even if there is enough room

   This is getting ridiculous, there are so many bugs in this program it's barely usable anymore. I have a 2 column layout, some content spans to 1 column. Sometimes when there is a table that spans it moves the table to the next page even if there is enough room. The only way to fix this is to make another text box and link them together. This is a huge pain ********** and makes it difficult when there are footnotes. It's a span bug and has been around for a while. Instead of making new features can you fix the tools there are already there.

4. UI Contextual Interface

   Contextual Menu

   In the latest update to the application, support for contextual UI interface management has actually got worse.

   I utilise a 'dual screen' like many, may designer. I find it unbelievable that Adobe continue to ignore professional reporting of your bugs and lack of real support for the program.

   Indesign's lack of contextual UI management is poor, inadequate and pretty much makes using dual screen even more difficult than the last release.

   Today, 31/01/2021 (Australia). I find that clicking on the type panel (which I have setup on the right monitor - displays the dropdown for the font size and many, many other components display of the left of the screen!

   Who is responsible for this woeful oversight? Who is actually trialling this software (in real world environments)?

   I'll also tell you, this isn't this first time I have report this inadequate UI.

   Forget some of the irrelevant updates and focus on ensuring the product is fit-for-purpose, because I can tell you - you're not making it easier to use the product, you're making it a lot harder.

   What's the point of having two monitors if you are going to force the UI components to render on the opposite monitor?

   Version: Latest: 16.1
   Steps to reproduce: Dual Monitor setup
   Expected Result: Correct display of contextual menus for all components, regardless of dual monitor use
   See example uploaded

   Regards, Paul.

5. 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 color. Im sure nobody uses that. And it it needs to go. If we want a background color for text we would just put a colored rectangle behind it. Im frustrated and annoying that when I select multiple texts it automatically assumes I want the background of that text to be that color NO ! NOBODY wants that! Highlighting each text individually is a PAIN and it takes forever when you have to do so many of them
   I also find it super annoying that even if I copy and paste a text box with certain formatting on it the minute I erase the text and replace with another text it takes out all of the formatting. Again on Illustrator I don't have this issue.
   This is supposed to be a publishing software please do better, and its 2021, but this is still an issue. Please do better.

8. '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.

10. INDESIGN 2021 DOES NOT PASTE IN PLACE CORRECTLY on page or spread

    pastes off whack / not at all aligned properly on page.

    ID doesn't retain proper perspective or type sizes either.
    and it groups all items instead of keeping as separate objects, frames, items but it won't allow ungrouping!!!!

11. Active adobe fonts are unstable.

    16.0 x64 - I have been experiencing issues with Adobe fonts, where I can't edit them. For example, resizing to a larger font value or even adding more text. The font (or the entire text box) will completely disappear or it will switch to a default font even though the correct font is chosen. The only way to correct it is to close the document and restart. But it doesn't mean the font will be stable. I don't seem to have this issue with locally installed fonts.

12. 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.

13. Naming layers in the docked layers panel and naming things in paragraph styles details box

    As described in this thread :
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/can-t-rename-layers-indesign-2021-16-0-also-happened-in-2020/td-p/11550199/page/2?page=1

    It's impossible to rename layers when the panel is docked
    I also have problems in naming things in some particular panels like the Paragraph styles details box when i want to create a nested style and type the exact word i want the style to stop
    (see screen capture) i manage to click it but it's like magic clic and clic and clic... sometimes work sometimes not... i'm getting crazy with it and loos a lot of time.

    Thank you for updating

14. 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.
    We have been working on this particular document for a few weeks without issue until a few days ago - started happening at around the same time as I updated my Mac OS to Big Sur.
    The screenshots attached just show before I type r in the text box (black text) and after (text reverted to basic para which is white). Its super annoying!!

15. 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.

17. 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 feature again.
    Thanks!

18. InDesign opens with tiny window

    For several recent versions of InDesign, and Windows, including the most recent of both (just updated InD yesterday, and this happened shortly after), I have on rare occasions had InD open as only a tiny box showing only the basic minimize/maximize/close buttons, and a window edge, positioned in the upper left corner. If I click on the maximize button, it goes to maximized, but then cannot grab outer edges to resize the box, and minimizes just goes back to almost nothing. If I then quit InD, USING FILE/QUIT, OR COMMAND-Q, then it will reopen OK. I think, maybe, this is triggered by using the x-box in the upper right corner to close the program, rather then file-quit or command-q. I try to remember to close it the 'correct' way, but since every other program I have on Windows is fine with closing the x-box, ...

    Again, problem with current and at least 2 previous full versions, and with Windows 7 Home as well as Windows 10 Pro. It can go a long time without this happening.

19. 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 documents at the same time (small documents).

    I run InDesign 15.1 x64 from Creative Cloud, and Windows 10 Enterprise with 16GB RAM.

    I hope Adobe fixes this very soon, as I cannot perform my daily work and my employer starts asking what is wrong with my deliveries.

    CLOSED  ·  AdminSanyam Talwar (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

    Many 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.

20. 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 I did wrong or how to fix it?

    I am using version 16.1 x64 of indesign

    thank you,
