MacOS Ventura 13.6.1, InDesign 19.1: fx (multiply, overlay, saturation etc) unavailable.
Working with images/objects: When I try to select options below Normal in the Effects dropdown (multiply, overlay, saturation etc), the dropdown snaps back to Normal. It's also impossible to change the Effect's opacity.

InD 19.1 export to IDML extends conditional text
- InDesign 19.1
- Create a doc with several paragraphs of text. Apply a condition to, say, the 2nd paragraph. Export to IDML. Open the exported doc.
- The reopened file should look like the original.
- The condition is now applied to additional paragraph(s). However, if the condition is removed from the paragraph marker, the problem disappears. There was a similar problem about 10 years ago saving docs with conditional text. The conditions would exin the same way. This happened just with normal saving, not exporting.

Variable font changes to Italic when a custom axis value is set, without user input. Also, the Italic axis cannot be controlled.
This may be related to a somewhat similar Illustrator bug:
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/46249144-variable-font-changesSummary:
1. Variable fonts that have separate but related roman/italic font files are handled badly by InDesign (and Illustrator). In InDesign, if you set a custom axis value such as Weight or Optical Size, the font changes to Italic immediately. This issue occurs in fonts such as Roboto Serif and Apple SF Pro, which are well-tested, popular, and important by many measures. It also occurs in fonts that have internal data that is known to be good, at least as far as FontBakery testing shows. It doesn’t occur in…6 votes -

fonts not exporting to pdf properly
I am using Indesign 2024 on Mac Ventura. Adobe Premier Pro Garamond Cyrillic fonts are fine in InDesign but do not show properly when exported to PDFs. This is ridiculous if not inexcusable. It's an Open Source, Adobe font. Spend time fixing issues like this instead of destroying programs by deleting scroll bars.

Custom fonts in bold/black appears thin and bold in latest versions of InDesign and Photoshop
Custom fonts in bold appears alternately as bold and thin in the latest version of InDesign (19.0.1) and Photoshop (25.1) I've tried deleting all apps and installing again, but it doesn't help. The problem only occurs in Adobe programs. Not in Word etc. It works fine, when I'm installing an older version of InDesign, fx 18.5.
The font that is used is the Google font "Outline".

"PDF not Created in InDesign"
A PDF was exported from Adobe InDesign, opened in Abobe Acrobat, annotation tools were used, and the PDF was saved under a new file name. Attempting to open the comments in InDesign with the "Import PDF Comments" tool returns an error stating the PDF was not created in InDesign.... but it was, and only Adobe tools have been used.

Trackpad Scroll Not Working
Trackpad scrolling in Indesign 19.0.1 is unusable both horizontally and vertically. It sometimes works if I place my curser directly in the scroll bar, but outside of that when I try to scroll it either has a huge lag and skips around or just refuses to move my page. I work on a laptop with 100+ page documents daily so this is massively impacting my workflow.

PDF comments imported incorrectly
- Both ID 2024 and 2023 (19.0.1 and 18.5.1)
- A PDF file created with ID 19, and was commented by the client. When I import PDF comments it sometimes crashes, and afterwords ID does import the comments, but most of them are "broken" and appear as "unmapped comments".
- Attached are screenshots from both versions after importing comments from same file. Dark screenshot is from version 19.

layer visibility of placed ai file is not updated when edited in Illustrator.
When layer visibility of a placed Illustrator (.ai) file is edited in Illustrator, InDesign does not update. The layer that is not visible in the .ai file is still visible in the InDesign file.
Manually placing the revised .ai file into InDesign shows the file correctly.

Text disappearing while editing
On my MacBook Air when I use InDesign and I am editing text it frequently disappears then when I zoom in again it will reappear. It only ever disappears from view, it is never lost but still very annoying. It will do this about every 4 words I type.

Behavior of "Change" button different than behavior of "Change All" button
When finding and changing the paragraph or character style of some text to another paragraph or character style, using "Find" and "Change/Find" retains any local formatting (italic, bold, underline, superscript, etc.) in the affected paragraph. "Change All," however, removes all local formatting in the affected paragraphs.
