A problem about converting right-to-left text to the newest version
Hello,
I have been using Indesign v18.5 and created a lot of documents for a book in Hebrew and Arabic.
My paragraph styles have the property "Character Direction: Default" which, of course, organized my text as RTL for Hebrew and Arabic, and LTR for English text.
After converting the documents to the newest version (v19.0), some (and only some) of the punctuation marks (such as ".", "!", "?") and even some of the spaces, were placed in a wrong manner: to the right side of the text, instead of being placed to the left of the text as they are…1 vote -

InDesign 2024 — Personal workspace won’t display automatically anymore
Until now, the personal workspace used to display automatically when opening the files.
Instead of the personal workspace, InDesign now displays the workspace Essentials.
Yesterday, I have been told by the Technical Support that this feature has been removed.
According to the information I have received, it is not possible anymore to choose the workspace that will be displayed.
This is absolute nonsense since it means:
1. a loss of time — particularly when working on multiple files;
2. a huge loss in the customization possibilities.PLEASE RESTORE THIS FEATURE!

portrait mode - Whether at 125% or 100% the Indesign Interface scaling option under Preferences does not work.
BUG DETAILS- On a Monitor that is setup in a Portrait configuration, whether at 125% or 100% display scale in Windows Settings, the Indesign Interface scaling option under Preferences does not work.
Adobe is a publishing software, especially InDesign. Book Publishers and their graphic design team need to have the option of working in a monitor setup in a Portrait configuration for the purpose of full vertical page (height) dimensions. I cannot get Indesign to Scale the Interface at all under Preferences when monitors are set in Portrait configuration. This is a bug because the InDesign interface does scale (as…

GPU Performance makes colours dull/desaturated
With GPU Performance enabled, all colours appear desaturated. In fact, it looks like colour management is simply turned off. Please note, this is not a Transparency Blend Space issue. It affects Spot, RGB and CMYK colours.
With GPU Performance disabled, colours appear vibrant and correct. It would be great to have this issue resolved, as I certainly want to take advantage of the GPU when using InDesign.

"Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle" behavior in Page Panel is opposite
About Page Panel menu, "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle".
When you check here, you can’t shuffle pages. You need to be off the check to shuffle. It's contrary to content.
I hope this will be fixed to "Not Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle".
Thank you.2 votes -
Left toolbar missing Screen Mode selector
When I use InDesign some times the Screen Mode selector is missing from the left Toolbar. The only fix is to change the Workspace to another and then back to the original workspace. The first image is the missing Screen Mode selector and the second image is how it should look. This happens on macOS Monterey (12) and macOS Ventura (13) and in both InDesign 19.0 and the previous InDesign 18.5.

Selecting text in table inside Story Editor
InDesign 19.0
When I try to select text in a table using Story Editor, the mouse selects text starting one character to the right from where I click. This starts in the 2nd row of text. For each row below that, the selection starts one additional character to the right.
For example, I have a table with 5 rows and each row has the text 'ABCDEFG'. If I try and select the letter 'A' on row 2 by clicking at the start of the text and dragging to the right, the selected text will skip the letter 'A' and start…

CUSTOM URLS FOR ADOBE PUBLISH ONLINE BROCHURES
<> Custom URL, so it looks more professional to clients rather than it saying "Ind.Adobe" with loads of numbers following it.
<> While on the subject of the URL, it would be fantastic if we could customise the cover photo/thumbnail rather than it showing the adobe logo, I'd like to show my brands logo. It would be a great feature for when we send the link in WhatsApp

Broken/missing assignments can't be deleted or fixed
I've opened an InDesign document from earlier this year (created in an InDesign 2023 version). The document contains many incopy assignments - some of which are now missing. It will let me delete most of the missing assignments (no longer needed anyway) but a selection of them will not delete at all, and show the pencil icon that says 'in use by me' when i hover over, despite having literally just opened the file and not clicked into anything.
This happens when any of my team open the file (we use Microsoft Share Point to access files). I can't right…

analytics
I've integrated a Google Analytics tag to my InDesign Publish Online document following the steps detailed in the recent announcement / setup guide.
My analytics tag successfully identifies views when I load the document on the indd.adobe.com site, but it does not capture activity when I embed the InDesign viewer on a third-party website.
By using "Inspect" in Chrome, I can see that the INDD embed includes code that references the correct Google Tag on third-party sites, but Analytics isn't registering the view – even after I click "Accept" in the cookie banner, and after I allow third-party cookies in my…

InDesign remains as front window even when another application is active (like right now when I am typing)
MacOS14 has been released, and many of us have upgraded so as to be able to use it. However, many Adobe products have not come unaffected through the transition. Could Adobe please fix the issues (flickering, windows acting like panels and floating above the active application like happening right now with InDesign).

resize
Just updated to Indesign 2024 (v19), and it appears the method of resizing/scaling an image or shape has changed. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it has changed to. Before this update, cmd-shift/drag the corner would resize an item proportionately. That doesn't work anymore. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

Print files do not get overwritten.
Whether i'm trying to overwrite a print file created with PDF or .vps using ID 2022 (17.4.1) through the XMPie plugin compatible for this version, it will not overwrite a previous PDF or .vps. This is a very frustrating issue since I've had to update to 2022. the only way around this is to delete the old PDF or .vps prior to running the new /updated print file, which is time consuming step. I constantly have to check time stamps to be certain that the files I send to our presses is the most current files needed, especially if a…

Image Frame distorts with customization
I'm trying to change the width and height of an image (cropping), and it used to never change the image within the frame. Now whenever I change the frame, the image inside changes proportion instead of cropping. Very frustrating.

anchored object ignores textwrap of the first line
When anchoring an Object in a text and selecting the object to wrap around the text, the first line ignores this command.
When searching for a solution, i stumbled upon this entry describing the problem.the only solution seems to be to anchor the text in a previous line.
However, I want my textanchor to be on the right spot, so a screenreader can read it correctly - so anchoring it one line above is no option for me.
Is there a fix to this problem?3 votes
