Windows 10 Filetype capture
I let the Creative Cloud Desktop upgrade me from 2020 to 2021 and uninstall 2020... only the file associations didn't get updated and there isn't a way to select Indesign 2021.
Maybe have a manual button option you can hit to select default filetypes if an upgrade goes awry.
Meanwhile what's the quick fix?

Shortcut for High Quality Display does something else
Up until Indesign CC 2020, when pressing "ctrl option command h" my document would switch to high res view. Since 16.0 it hides all other Programs of macOS (10.15.7) instead. When using the mouse it still works. Why is that, and how can I get the functionality back?

line break between XML elements not behaving as expected
I have some XML in this format:
<ROOT><DOCUMENT>
<CHAPTER>Chapter One</CHAPTER>
<CONTENT>This is what happened in Chapter 1.</CONTENT>
<CHAPTER>Chapter Two</CHAPTER>
<CONTENT>This is what happened in Chapter 2.</CONTENT>
</DOCUMENT></ROOT>I have a pre-tagged template where the <CHAPTER> tag maps to a paragraph style with Keep Options, start paragraph=Next page (i.e., every new chapter should start on a new page). The <CONTENT> tag maps to a basic paragraph style, and <ROOT> and <DOCUMENT> are not mapped.
Notice there is a line break in the XML after <DOCUMENT>.
After importing, the result is that page 1 appears blank (because of the line break) and…

Impossible to copy text from InDesign 2021 to other applications
It is impossible to copy any text from InDesign 2021 to other applications as Notepad or Excel.
When copying any text in InDesign, the Windows clipboard becomes empty even if there was anything.
However, it is possible to paste into InDesign any text from InDesign and any other text from outside of InDesign.
Resetting settings using Ctrl-Shift-Del at InDesign start and changing settings “Copy/paste in PDF format” didn’t help.1 vote -

optical margin alignment and index entry
I have optical margin alignment turned on. When I add an index entry, if the line it is in has a margin adjustment on the left side, then the right edge of the line becomes indented the same amount as the adjustment. I am currently using ID 15.1.1, but I have seen this error since at least CS 6.

Correct UI Resolution for 4K Screens
I have a 4K laptop (Dell XPS 15"), and the UI is just too small. Not small as in "I wish it was bigger", but rather "It is impossible to interact with the UI".
From scrolling through forums and such, it seems that this problem exists since 2014 or so, when 4K screens where a rare sighting.
But now these screens are becoming more popular, and the fact that they aren't supported by InDesign is pretty absurd. Especially when other programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier etc.) work completely fine.I've seen suggestions for workarounds that have to do with setting the…

Selection tool issue in the latest version of InDesign.
The selection tool now only works to change the size of boxes (text, images), it no longer lets you move the boxes around the page. To move boxes you know have to switch tools to the Free Transform Tool which makes everything more time consuming.

[BUG] [IND] [CC2021] Wrong language installed
With this message, I would like to report a bug.
The Creative Cloud desktop app installs the wrong language for Indesign. Default is set to English, but it installs Dutch.
Removing the older Indesign CC2020 and installing it again, it installs my default language (UK). For CC2021 it only installs Dutch. I'm using Os X 10.14.6.

[ID-4216061]Incorrect re-linking of image files with rotation metadata
This bug occurs in all versions of InDesign.
InDesign reflects the EXIF orientation in the transform panel when an image file is placed. However, under the following conditions, the result of relinking will be incorrect.
- The image file is rotated 90 degrees with EXIF orientation.
- In the transform panel, the vertical and horizontal percentage values are different.
Image files taken with an iPhone often retain the EXIF orientation rotation. If such a file is placed in indd by the client and the vertical and horizontal percentage values are different, there will be a problem that will cause drastic changes in…

Assigned character style is ignored when you generate index
If you manually assign certain Character Style to an index entry (for instance Bold) and the same index expression appears on the particular page more than once, Bold is often ignored when generating the index. It is properly generated only when the expression is the first one in the list.
If you assign style (Bold) to second or third appearance of the expression on a page and generate index, the character style is ignored.This feature is important. Certain index entries may be highlighted because the show page number of illustration, table, headline etc. So it is important to keep…

InDesign Freeze when anchored objects are 'Fit Frame to Content'
Whenever fitting Frame to Content with an anchored object, InDesign freezes and I have to force-quit. This is really annoying, since I work with a lot of anchored objects that include text and need to be resized a lot of times.
