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.

Redefine style changes Grep Style
When redefining a style based on changes to an existing style (and that existing style has a GREP style in use), the style parameters of the style or grep style are changed. Whereas, if you edit a style directly and apply the same changes, the grep style is unaffected. See video.
1 voteIn the 1st case in your video, you have applied a local override to the Style by changing. That's why you see a + in the name of the Style. When you Redefine that Style, the overrides go away and the Style gets redefined with the new attributes.
However, in the 2nd case, you are Editing the Style directly by opening the Style dialog. So any changes you make in the dialog automatically becomes part of the Style itself and there is no need to Redefine it from the panel menu.
It is working correctly.

eyedropper + shift
Eyedropper tool bug, when I'm trying to use the optionnal command "Shift" (the eyedropper become a target), it supposed to grab only color, which is not the case on 19.0 on mac, it seems to work as a normal eyedropper :s
1 voteIn InDesign, pressing Shift with the Eyedropper Tool to grab a specific color from an Image (like JPG, etc.) works.
It will not work if you try to grab to use Shift with Eyedropper to grab a specific color from a Gradient filled object.

Application Window Bug
Please fix this annoying bug, Adobe! Ever since I updated to the latest version 18.4 the application window has broken. I have uploaded a screen recording to demonstrate what is happening. I use Shift + W a LOT to view my work in presentation mode. everytime I exit this view the entire application shrinks!! And I have to keep manually resizing the application window. But it doesn't happen when I uncheck 'Application Window' from the window menu. Please fix this. I have never had this issue before.

Input Options for Place aren't remembered
When I go to place a page from a pdf into an indesign document, the selection is set to transparent. I uncheck transparent, but I have to do that again each time I place a new page. The crop options don't stay either. Can't this be remembered?

Indesign file shows as modified upon opening a page with placed PNGs
- InDesign 19.0.1
- Steps to reproduce: open an InDesign file with a placed PNG.
- Expected result: file opens, no asterisk appearing next to file name.
- Actual result: file opens, PNG re-renders in high quality, asterisk suddenly appears next to file name.
As of this morning, every time I open a file that has placed PNGs, InDesign flags the document as modified, with the asterisk and asks me if I want to save the document before closing, even I made zero edits. To give even more credence, it only happens when I navigate to a page that has a linked PNG file…

Page tool causes layout shifts on parent pages
When the Page Tool is used to resize parent (master) pages, unwanted shifts of page items may occur. These can occur directly in the document or also after an IDML export. Whereby with the IDML export the order of the sample pages plays a role
Concrete example: When the right bottom corner of the Page Tool is selected and the page size is changed, a position mismatch occurs on the inherited master page.
It is expected that on master pages of the same size the position of objects and inherited object is the same.
This does not occur if the…

InDesign incorrect font.version when SUBSTITUED
In an InDesign document when a font.status is SUBSTITUED, both the xmpTPg:Fonts/Resource/stFnt:versionString and also font.version property show the value of the font which is used by InDesign for the substitute font, and not the original (now missing) font version.
As anyone who has worked with font purchasing knows, the font version is extremely important. Both because of licensing reasons (previously purchased font licenses for font versions may need to be repurchased with newer versions), and also because even in a font produced by the same foundry or designer, a minor version change can include optical differences, spacing differences causing text…

interactive pdf export hangs forever
ID 2023 won't finish the export to Interactive PDF task and hangs for minutes on the "finishing document" stage. It must then be force quit to continue. Cancelling the export doesn't work. Screenshot attached.
ID 18.5.1.79, M1 Max MacStudio, MacOSX 14.2.1
I must use ID 2022 in order to export interactive PDF because ID 2024 is impossible to use with Hebrew files. see here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/47461556-you-have-screwed-up-hebrew-in-indesign-19-0-1

Share for Review is very buggy
In InDesign lately when I Share for Review the following things happen often:
1. InDesign thinks that the document I've shared (and for which I've received feedback) is NOT shared. I know it is.
2. I can no longer highlight a comment and copy it to paste it into the actual document.
3. When I click on a comment it will take me to a page/spread but there's no pin/highlighted text/etc. to inform me where on the spread the change needs to be implemented.
4. I get a message that InDesign "cannot load comments" no matter how many times or…3 votes -
connected frames
Create text frame with paragraph attributes, the text changing alignment depending on the text box attributes
Ideal for making annual calendars with connected frames from the left pages to the right and the text alignment changes depending on the style applied to the text frame, for example: (Left Page, text aligned to the left), (Page Right, text aligned to the right, if left page text change to right page the alignmento change.
