  2. dual monitors - UI stays the size of the small monitor even when I drag it back to the large HD monitor

    Windows 10

    Monitor 1 is my Huion display tablet 16”
    Monitor 2 is main 32" Samsung monitor

    If I open InDesign with "extend these displays" checked in the windows display settings and then drag the program back to Monitor 2 (32" Samsung) - the work area is smaller and I cannot drag it to fill the screen. Also the text for all dialog boxes is too small and the program will not release from the settings of the Huion tablet.

    I need to be able to have InDesign behave like Photoshop - which opens up with the same scaling and…

  3. Keyboard Right and Left arrow same as Up and Down Arrow

    InDesign version 19.0 x64 English תומך עברית

    The Keyboard Right arrow is moving the curser one line up, and the Keyboard Left arrow is moving the curse on line down, instaed of moving the curser right or left.
    The keyboard shortcuts are showing the correct behavior, but in fact it's incorrect.

  4. accessibility export to pdf worked before in 18.5 its now broken in v19

    Working in v19 with an exsiting file and when exporting to PDF it lists dozens of problems in the accessibility check which did not happen previously.

  8. action feature

    hello, Is there an action feature in InDesign, like Photoshop?
    Is there a script that records the work steps and then applies the steps automatically when clicked?

  9. Unable to drag & drop one character

    This task can only be done by selecting two or more characters.
    When I need to drag, e.g. a colon to the next word, it doesn't work!

  10. IDML export = master page items shift

    When a file is exported as IDML, master/parent page items have shifted. Happens most consistently on pages that are “based on” other pages. This happens whether an object style with positioning has been used or not, but is generally worse when positioning has been defined.

    This has been a persistent issue through the past several versions of ID.

  11. RTL quotation mark rendering inconsistencies in InDesign v19

    In InDesign versions 18 and earlier, the left and right quotation marks for Thaana were interpreted as "start" and "end" quotation marks. However, Microsoft Word and web browsers and most applications interpreted them as "right" and "left" as named in the Unicode specification.

    In InDesign version 19, the rendering behaves oppositely (similar to Word, web browsers, etc.), even though the codepoint remains the same. Additionally, some other anomalies are present. For instance, when I use a right/left quotation mark as a bullet point, it renders as the opposite one.

    Please refer to the attached recording for another case where I…

  12. Indesign Auto-Save No Longer Included in App

    Adobe InDesign Version 19.2
    Using MacBook Pro Max M3 16-Inch, Nov 2023
    Running MacOS Sonoma Version 14.3.1

    Apparently there was previously an option in InDesign which auto-saves your documents as you go (with options in Preferences to specify how often you wished the app to auto-save the active document from 1 to 60 minutes). This feature is similar to what Adobe Premiere Pro app has -- even while saving via the "Save As" feature (which overwrites a previous version with the same file name), the auto-save application feature saves the document as you work with it, so that you can…

  13. Setting defaults for anchored objects doesn't work

    I'd really like to be able to set defaults for how an anchored object attaches to the text when I drag to anchor it. Right now it attaches from the bottom right. I'd like to be able to set that to fit my needs.

  14. version 19.2 x64. The version update lost my language setting (English-Hebrew).

    The English-Hebrew setting was lost during the last few updates, which removed the ability to create bullets with a hanging indent. A minus value in the first line indent always led to an error. It was solved by uninstalling and re-installing, which then gave me the text direction options again. So a workaround is possible, but it must be done every time I update.

  15. M1 Mac Graphic Problems Continue

    As others have mentioned InDesign graphic performance on M1 Macs is unacceptable. This was marked as "fixed" but it continues with macOS Ventura 13.0.1 and InDesign 18. For example, the screen does not always redraw when scrolling or jumping to a different page until you move your pointer. Switching to a different program and then back to InDesign also fixes the problem for a while. It doesn't matter whether GPU Performance is on or off. This is the most fundamental functionality. Please figure it out and fix it once and for all.

  17. Items jumping to front

    My team are currently having a glitch where items that have been sent to back are jumping back to the front even if the item is locked. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to this as this is happening while working elsewhere in the documents and if often only noticed once it has been PDFd. It is effecting images/text boxes and solid shapes.

  19. Paint and lines disappear

    Indesign 2023, Mac OS 12 Monterey (other similar reports in Catalina and win10)

    Phenomenon
    Fill and line disappears when copying an object.

    Reproduction procedure
    1. Select an object with fill and line to surround it with the direct selection tool.
    2. Grab the anchor point and copy by option+drag.
