Graphic was exported and printed as gray "fast display" placeholder
I exported a book and checked that with preflight for missing linked images and correct printing resolutions. everything came back ok. however one picture was not correctly linked and exported as the gray placeholder usually seen when "fast display" is enabled.
Apparently, the resolution of the gray placeholder is high enough as not to trigger the "too low res"-preflight setting of the printer. They did flag a different picture, which i replaced, but this square was undetected.
The image was "corrected" by relinking it, even though the linked path was correct and it did not show up in the linkpanel…

Adobe InDesign 2024 (v19.0) - Unable to create own style pack (error popup)
When I try to create a new style pack I get the dialog to apply different styles. When choosing the according styles for Heading, Subheading,... I only get an error pop up. When confirming, I get another alert, a couple of times in a row (for every following style to apply one). After confirming all alerts I get one or more text frames filled with example text (no specific format / settings) on the first page of the document.

Online Publishing not taking all images
Using both InDesign 19 and 18.5, publishing online no longer functions on a Mac running Sonoma 14.1. This issue started days ago. I’ve Packaged projects, saved them locally, and confirmed all images are linked but when I publish them, some images do not tranfer. And it’s random. If I publish over and over again, an image that didnt appear before may make it through. This is a terrible bug for me personally as I rely on digital publishing and sharing interactive presentations for my business.

Publish Online Broken Objects
Publish Online Suddenly not displaying images correctly since 6th November 2023
Hi there,
Yesterday I tried to update an InDesign document which I'd published online.
I had to add some stuff to the document which I then published online with the changes (new publish, not over written) and it seemed to break some of the embedded images. I thought it must be the changes however I did test the back up I had which was an identical document and when publishing it online again some of the images or all of them are broken. Without making any changes in InDesign,…3 votes -

[ID-4251249]Exiting Presentation Mode makes InDesign's Window smaller when connected to external monitor.
When entering presentation mode (shift+w), and then escape,
InDesign windows becomes fullscreen.
It would be great to get back to same size and position.InDesign Version: 18.0

Indesign v19 (2024) changes line breaks of paragraphs in documents created in v18.5 (2023)
I wanted to export a finished document (a book) made with Indesign Version 18.5 (2023) after updating to Version 19 (2024). After exporting I noticed that the word-wrapping was ruined and images on wrong pages because at some points in the document the line breaks were different and it made the paragraph a line longer than before and thus ruining the following textwrap.
If I open the document with the old indesign version, everything is fine. I compared the preferences and everything is identical. In both cases the paragraphs use the single-line-composer and the justification is not changed either.

Chapter number variable doesnt change
I tried to make the chapter numbers automatic in each chapter, but it doesn't change; it just says "1" in all chapters.

cant drag object
In the middle of working on a document and suddenly can't drag or duplicate objects (alt - drag).
Indesign is fully up to date. Windows 11.
I am so freaking sick of all of these bugs. I pay enough for these programs to not cause me so much wasted time. I'm so done. Anyone have a good alternative to Adobe that they like?
I see some old posts about people having this issue with Photoshop open. I do not have Photoshop open and haven't used it all day.

Typing after pasting
When pasting text in a story, the first character typed after pasting doesn’t work. For example, if I paste the character “s” then try to type “port” (so it becomes “sport”), it will only start typing at the “o,” so I will have “sort” instead of “sport.”
I have this problem on my MacBook Air as well as on a Windows machine, so it’s not an OS issue

Unable to Re-Order Master Pages
When dragging Master Pages, you can no longer re-order them. In pervious versions, you used to be able to move Master pages to different spots in the order by dragging them between other pages. This feature no longer works. Please bring it back so we can have documents with some better structure and order.

iCloud
When opening files stored on iCloud, most of the time InDesign freezes/crashes (spinning beach ball forever). The file usually opens, but then freezes once you move the cursor around a bit or try clicking a menu, etc. I've tried opening the same files saved to my local drive with no problems. The links in these files also reside on iCloud. If I download the InDesign file first, sometimes it doesn't crash. However, if I have links to update, I have to make sure to update each of them first or InDesign crashes.

Not opening
I keep running into a bug where InDesign won't open. I click the application, get the first loading screen, and then it disappears and closes. I've tried restarting my computer but the issue persists. The only way I've found to fix it is uninstalling and reinstalling the program. It's a pain to have to do it everyday though.

Arrowhead scaling percentage no longer accurate
I have just realised that the arrowhead scaling percentage no longer works as it should.
Scaling an arrowhead to 50% no longer means that the size is reduced to 50%, it the arrowhead only shrinks to something like 90%.
Similarliy, a 200% size adjustment gives me around 110% the original size. See image.
Not even a 1% setting gives me the 50% size I'm looking for.
I'm on a MBP M3 Max with InDesign 19.1.

comments
There is an extreme lag when using the Import PDF Comments feature. Sometimes I have to select "Accept" multiple times to activate the comment. And the file is very slow, it can take 20 or 30 seconds for the comment to be applied which is unbearable when working on a large 300+ page book with hundreds of comments. This used to work seamlessly but with the 2024 upgrade it is a total nightmare. I searched the forums and it seems like this has been a problem for some time and has not been fixed—this should be resolved considering this is…

No Way to Place Files Saved as "Cloud Documents" (.aic, .psdc, etc.)
Why is there no apparent way to place files saved as "Cloud Documents"? Eg. I save an Illustrator file as a cloud document on my account (.aic, no local copy), but then there is no way for InDesign to locate that file and place it as a linked or embedded file.
Illustrator has a button in the file picker window that allows selecting "cloud documents" instead of browsing local files, but there is no such button in the InDesign workflow (as far as I can tell). Photoshop also has a similar button (though only if you choose "Place Embedded", not…

Hide blue L brackets onscreen in endnotes
Need a way to hide the blue "L" brackets that appear at the beginning and end of endnotes. It's very distracting when looking for details in the text while typesetting. Thanks.

Blank Document/Pasteboard when Display Profile Changes
When the display profile changes, i.e., when using automatic profile switching when room lighting changes (Spyder), document pages and any items on the pasteboard disappear. The rest of the UI remains the same.
The 'fix' suggested elsewhere is to turn GPU preview off. However, when you do that, clicking on the document/pasteboard makes both flash white and can also make the document jump leftward to the edge of the window.
The only real fixes are to close and reopen the document(s) or restart InDesign.
And just in case anyone is tempted to suggest I stop using Spyder or any other…
