Problem with layer panel
Version 13.1.1.110
Dots allowing to select objects on layers panel disappear although it was supposed to be fixed. Reinitializing preferences work but is not a lasting solution since this occurs on tens of machines. We cannot upgrade to version 14 or 15 for now.1 vote -

Locked to dell canvas screen, can't move to other screens
On a multiscreen system, when InDesign starts up on the Dell Canvas drawing tablet screen, the window can't be moved to any other screen in the system. If the Dell Canvas is turned off then on, InDesign automatically moves to another screen. At that point, the window can be moved to any other screen in the system. However, if you move it totally onto the Canvas screen, it will be pinned to that screen, unable to move back to the other screens.

Lock and Pause the Resynching in a Book
It would be extremely time and frustration saving if I/users could lock/pause/disable the resynching process. The lock could be manually released once I have re-ordered the chapters in a book as I like them, Then I can allow updates and resynchs to happen en masse rather than whenever I make the tiniest change to the order of the chapters.
You see: I write textbooks with exercises at the end of each chapter. Often these exercises are taken from previous books I have written. I then customise them for the current book according to the client's requests.
Once I have imported…

updating a placed multipage pdf
Hello,
When a multipage pdf is placed in InDesign, and an update of the pdf is needed, it is possible to do 'update link' in the links panel. But when 'show import options' is ON (in the 'place' window), all of the placed pages of the pdf will be replaced by page 1 of the updated pdf.
For my opinion, if you want to update the instances of a placed pdf, the responsive pages have to be updated. At least the option must be accessible when updating the link.2 votes -
Request for a Save All facility
It would be very useful to have a "save all" facility as do Microsoft's and other's products: Pressing Ctrl+Shift+S saves all open documents in sequence.
It is very disconcerting to realise I have 7-8 documents open from a book at the same time and none of them has been saved, sometimes for days.I have once or twice been caught out by Windows crashing with a large set of documents open and then found their contents in various confusing states.
It would be so much easier if I could watch the stars slowly disappear from my tabs/eyes by pressing a…

Background Tasks stuck on "Cancelling"
I was exporting multiple PDFs that were not exporting properly. When I figured out they were stuck, I manually cancelled the export in "Background Tasks". Both tasks have been "Cancelling" for two days. I cannot close the files nor can I close InDesign.

Spellcheck not working
The Spellcheck tool does not work as of version 14.0.1
The spellcheck window pops open but "spellcheck complete"message appears. Clicking "start" does nothing. This happens in all documents. All the settings and user dictionary seem correct.I tried selecting all the options in the "search" dropdown menu but nothing works. Spellcheck simply won't start.
9 votesThe issue has been fixed in both the latest release of InDesign – InDesign 2021 & the previous version of InDesign – InDesign 2020 (15.1.2).
Please update to either of these versions of InDesign to get the fix.—

GREP, odd behaviour in InDesign v. 14.0.2
Search and replace with GREP in InDesign version 14.0.2 behaves oddly.
This simple GREP used to work fine:
(?<=\s)([\u\s\,]+)$It matches upper case letters, commas and space between them at the end of a paragraph. But now it only matches some of them.
Really strange.

Problem mit Schlagschatten unter 15.0 x64 (Windows)
Wenn einem Objekt ein Schlagschatten zugewiesen wird, so verschiebt sich der Schatten, sobald man auf OK klickt. Das heißt, der Schlagschatten hat dem optischen Eindruck nach andere Werte, als die zugewiesenen.
Beispiel: Ein einzelnes PSD mit mehreren freigestellten Objekten vor transparentem Hintergrund erhält folgende Werte:
Deckkraft 100% / Abstand 3 mm / x-Versatz 0 / y-Versatz 3 mm / Winkel 90° / Größe 5 mm / Übergriff 50% / Rauschen 0
Als Ergebnis zeigen einige Objekte einen 90" nach untern fallenden Schatten. Bei den restlichen Objekten ist der Schatten nach unten und links verschoben.
Dieses Problem ist neu, es ist…1 vote -

proportional scaling and Opt + drag copy feature not working
Some, but not all, shift and option key functionality not working. I've tried both the Webroot SecureAnywhere fix (don't have this on my computer) and the keyboard unicode fix. Neither have helped. it's also inconsistent. it was working fine last night at home but not working this morning in my office.

font cache
Fonts in Document fonts folder are not removeable anymore.
I’m a typedesigner and check fonts by generating them into a Document fonts folder. In the past the fonts were always at once updated in Indesign, when I overwrote the fontfile. This does not work anymore.
What is worse. A font that I generated into the folder is still visible in the font menue of the document, and I can still select and use it, even if the file does not exist anymore on the computer. It only disappears if I cut the internet. So it seems the font is stored…1 vote -
Endnotes are out of sequence in captions and sidebars
I work on books that often have endnotes in captions or sidebars. The captions/sidebars are always set up as separate frames (and sometimes as anchored objects). Any endnotes in separate frames end up at the end of the endnote list, regardless of where they fall in the page order.

Adjust Layout cuts off images
When using adjust layout, no matter what setting are used and even when images all have "auto-fit" checked, the adjust layout function cuts off many images instead of resizing them with the frame.

InDesign does not honor whitespace on CC library vector graphics
Example: I have a vector logo placed on a specifically sized artboard within Illustrator that has designated safety space around. the artwork, however InDesign adjusts the frame to fit the content within that dartboard instead of the artboard itself.

[ID-4199810]Cross reference takes more space than its text
A cross reference sometimes takes up more space than its actual text.
In the attached shows a frame with text with the right side of the text frame visible and the word "with" (above) extending well beyond the 2nd to last line in the frame. The "112" in the picture is a cross reference. When that cross reference is removed and "regular" text is typed in the 112 fits on the line.
Question first posted and confirmed by another here: https://forums.adobe.com/message/10908454#10908454.
This happens in CS6 and in CC2019, 14.0.1 x64.
