1. Multi-character input from Indic keyboards failing

   Tested in InDesign 2023 18.5.1 and 2024 19.1, on Mac OS Ventura 13.4

   Several Indic keyboard layouts include keys that input a sequence of more than one character as a shortcut for typing the common –ra,, r–, or other syllabic forms that Unicode encodes as a sequence of multiple characters. So, for example, the Mac Sinhala keyboard assigns the following multi-character sequences to individual keys:

   [`] = ්‍ර (rakārānsaya, U+0DCA U+200D U+0DBB)

   [Shift]+[`] = ර්‍ (repaya, U+0DBB U+0DCA U+200D)

   [Shift]+[H] = ්‍ය (yansaya, U+0DCA U+200D U+0DBA)

   But in InDesign only the first character of each sequence is input, the second and third characters are not input. I have tested the same keyboards in multiple other programs, including Adobe programs such as Illustrator, and they work find everywhere except InDesign.

   I have found the same problem with Indic multi-character keys testing the Mac Hindi, Kannada, Sinhala, and Telugu keyboards, so it seems to be a general problem with keyboards that input more than one character from a single keystroke.

2. The link is set to "anyone with link can comment" but it's still requiring a password

   I have created a share for review link for others to comment on, however it's requiring them to log into an account even though it's set to "Anyone with the link can comment". This was not the case before, others could comment as a guest. Using InDesign 2024 v19.0.1

3. current page marker font malfunction if 3 digits or more

   The third digit and beyond in the "current page number" marker is distorted in certain fonts, and almost appears to be an old style number (shifted down and squished), even when I set the font's Figure Style to "Proportional Lining" under Paragraph Style > OpenType Features > Figure Style. In fact, it also seems to do it in automated footnote reference numbers, where control of the Figure Style doesn’t seem to work either. However, when I just type out the number using the same style, it appears correct. This issue appears to be in Adobe InDesign 2024 (19.3), but when I got back to ID 2023 (18.5.2) the issue disappears.

   This is a HUGE issue because I am a book designer, and most of the books I design are go into 3 digit page numbers or more -- and if I can't control the look of the font, then it forces me to go back to ID 2023 to make it work. It doesn't appear to be an issue in all fonts, but for the ones I tested, it seems to be in ones that have Figure Style options under the OpenType options (such as Proportional vs. Tabular, Lining vs. Old Style, etc.)

   1. Version: Adobe InDesign 19.3 (v. Adobe InDesign 18.5.2)
   2. Steps to reproduce the issues: Create a document that is length of 100 pages or more. Add a "current page marker" on the parent page. (I made an example on pages 208-209 in the attached documents. Apply a paragraph style for a folio that has a font that has options. (I used “Adelle” from the Adobe Fonts library for my examples.) It seems like anything above 3 digits, the third digit and beyond are distorted or don’t seem to be the correct Figure Style.
   3. Expected result: I expect to be able to control the Figure Style of an OpenType font within the paragraph style and not have this distorted character on the third digit and beyond in automated numbering – both the current page marker and the automated footnote reference.
   4. Actual result: Distorted digits anything the third digit or beyond, even when the OpenType > Figure Style settings are changed.
   5. I have attached 2 test files and a screenshot, one from 2023 where everything appears normal and the other from 2024 (see pages 208-209 in both docs for an example of the difference).

   I don't seem to be able to upload my test InDesign files -- so if somebody could please help I can send them to you.

4. Scrolling is glitchy or nonfunctional in InDesign 2024

   Scrolling with a mouse (not the trackpad) through a document vertically or horizontally works, but not always. Zooming in by holding Alt and then scrolling is unusable because trying to zoom in causes everything to zoom all the way out, and continuing to try to zoom in only works sometimes.

   I have tried this with multiple mouses, and the issue does not occur in any other program, including InDesign 2023.

   In the attached video, I am holding Alt and trying to zoom in.

5. Copy and Paste from Share for Review Comments panel not working

   You used to be able to copy/paste directly from the REVIEW panel COMMENT when you receive feedback. Now it won't allow you to copy what someone has reviewed and suggested as replacement text. This is very important as it makes it much more efficient to copy it from within InDesign rather than swapping between screens to do it from the browser. Please can you fix this! Thank you!

6. 2024 lag

   InDesign 2024 is lagging a lot—there's a delay in response when clicking onto a text or content box to edit the content. Even moving from page to page (at typical or fast display) there's a lag.

8. Color Profile Warnings when copying Objects and Text within the same Document

   Mismatching color profile warnings are very helpful when copying objects between documents with different profiles, which is why this is an always-on option for me.

   However, for some time now, such warnings seem to pop up randomly when I copy text between documents with the same profile settings, and sometimes even when copying text from one text box to another within the same document.

   My understanding is that this is a bug, as live text in an INDD cannot have different profiles. Is there a way to avoid these warnings and still get them when they are necessary (copying between separate documents)?

9. Damaged capitals

   In Design 19.3 x64
   After pouring in an editable file (MS Word 2010), where the capitals were in the footnotes in the names of the author(s) and editor(s) the capitals did not include the last letter of the last name or the last two letters.
   Earlier versions (3-4 updates) worked fine.
   Selecting the author's name and including capitals does not help. Further the last letter (or two) are not capitals. You have to mark the name and a comma (sometimes even a space) to make the full name capitals.
   It takes more time, more attention to correct all the footnotes. This is irritating.

10. "Insufficient data for an image" error is shown on opening PDF in Acrobat

    We are experiencing issues with exporting to PDF. Hi res PDF Compatibility Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6).
    The PDF is created normally, but when opening the PDF, it sometimes happens that the image is not displayed on one or more pages. The error message for this specific page is: ERROR: Insufficient data for an image.
    We tried to solve this problem within our team. Eventually, we discovered that the issue did not occur for one of our colleagues. Further investigation revealed that this colleague was still using an older version of InDesign (18.3). The colleagues experiencing problems had automatic updates enabled and were working on the new version 18.4. I then uninstalled my 18.4 version and reverted back to 18.3, and the PDF exports started working as before without the error message.

    I hope you can look into this and perhaps address it in the new InDesign version.

    Best regards,

11. "Visual Cursor Movement" not working in Arabic in ID 19/19.01

    On previous versions of ID with Arabic support, I could press left arrow to move cursor left, right arrow to move right. In versions 19 and 19.01, the cursor goes to the beginning or next line of Arabic text. So I have to select 'Logical Cursor Movement' under settings but now cursor move the opposite way: left arrow moves cursor right.

12. Window jumps to maximum size in 19.2

    Since version 19.2, InDesign's window behavior has been weird and wrong. With each mouse click it jumps to the maximum window size. If I resize the window, the next mouse click will maximize it again. Very annoying. This is only in 19.2. I have a Mac Studio M1 and a 49-inch Dell U4919DW monitor (size 5120 x 1440 pixels), so I don't want to work at the full size of the screen.

14. Fix the touchpad

    Just fix the touchpad please. I've already discussed it In detail on the Adobe community (https://shorturl.at/hAPZ8), but the touchpad is not working well at all. Now it's just less worse than 19.0 but still not working properly. You can't pinch to zoom, unlike Illustrator for example, and in general, it's not smooth at all. Trying to scroll through a project is a challenge; it scrolls in jumps with almost zero control over it. Centering the project on the PC is impossible without control 0.

15. PAC 2021 Error for InDesign generated PDF : Object reference not set to an instance of an object

    I am still getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object when testing pdf files in PAC 21. This error apparently relates to 'PDF Export using ZIP compression for images shows an “Insufficient data for an image” error on opening in Acrobat.

    This was supposed to be fixed in ID 18.5 but its now happening with every PDF I check for accessibility, even a single page with simple text.

    Working for local government and its imperative our PDF files exported from ID are fully accessible and tested. Seek an urgent fix.

16. Correct but wrong German translation for Review Panel

    The German translation for »Share for Review« is »Für Review freigeben«. I do not understand why you kept the »Review« in English, but that's not my point here and could be discussed somewhere else.

    There is the Review panel, which can be opened via Window > Comments > Review. In German it should be named »Review« as well, because you did not rename the functionality. Right?

    But, hey, the panels name ist »Überprüfen«. Correct translation, but inconsistent, as you might agree to me.

    So please, change »Überprüfen« to »Review« or change »Review« everywhere else to »Überprüfen«.

18. update to v24

    For as long as I can remember, dating back to the early single-digit versions of Adobe products, it was advised to make separate backups of user settings that were often found in obscure directories on a user's own computer. I dared to trust Adobe this time around, hoping that the update to version 24 of InDesign and its option to delete old versions, would respect the user settings that I so painfully put together. FAIL. Adobe failed to maintain them and deleted them from existence. Adobe should be putting a disclaimer on their update process to prompt users of all levels to backup their user settings and provide a link to where these obscure files are normally found. The "gotcha" or "pie-in-the-face" is not appreciated.
