ID window stutters when minimizing on MacBook Air M2 running StageManager
I know you're working on making ID run natively on the M2 chip. One glitch...when minimizing the app on my new MacBook Air M2 /Ventura, the ID window stutters as it shrinks to the desktop -- instead of smoothly moving as other apps. This happens with all my Adobe apps, but it's most noticeable with InDesign. It's a minor glitch but visually annoying.

Importing PDF Comments: inclusion of Sticky Notes slows InDesign down to a crawl.
When importing PDF Comments, it is mostly a breeze until the editor/author applies a 'Sticky Note'.
Moving through a document where 'Sticky Notes' have been added, the page, and surrounding pages, slows InDesign to a crawl and can take a few minutes to apply one change.
While my workaround is to run through all the 'Sticky Notes' in the PDF file first and apply those changes independently before deleting them, I can then import the PDF Comments in the usual way to speed up the remaining part of the process without being hindered.

After Update to Indesign 18.4.: Bad Performance with anchored TextFrames and vertical jusitification
I have a document with a text frame which is vertically justified and contains some anchored objects. Editing text in this text frame works but it is very slow in 18.4
In version 18.3 it runs quicker.2 votes -
Metadata, text variables in Indesign
Indesign don't insert Metadata (XMP) from the orioginal images downloaded from stock.adobe.com (as text variable); the downloaded image has to open in Photoshop and to »Save as«. Then the XMP-Metadata could be read by Indesign (as text variable).

"Suppress Text Wrap When Layer Is Hidden" not working
InDesign CC most current version 18.5
1. Add text frame
2. Add overlapping object
3. Add text wrap to object
4. Set layer option to "Suppress Text Wrap When Layer Is Hidden"
- Expect that text wrap will be suppressed when I hide the object layer that has text wrap applied
- Text wrap is still applied when the object layer is hidden, whether applying the layer option first or last, creating a new document and starting over, or trying each text wrap option1 vote -
export to EPUB Fixed Layout drawing shapes incorrectly and font spacing is all wrong
I have a children's picture book that I am trying to turn into an ebook to go with the printed version. If I follow the menu path: File -> Export and choose EPUB (Fixed Layout), the entire book has the following issues:
1) Shapes are all square - ignoring corner or being a circle or a freeform shape
2) Fonts are set to some generic fonts and the spacing between lines and characters is all random and wrong.See three attached files to see how the pages are displayed with Indesign (source Indd file), and within the Kindle and Epudor…

Dialogbox "Fileinformation" nor correctly displayed
When opening the "Fileinformation" dialogbox , the box is displayed, but too big and can not be resized. When trying to moved it, it can suddenly disappear and Indesign can only be closed via Taskmanager.
This seems to be a bug existing since many years (since 2016 !!!) affecting HighDPI monitors and also being present in other Adobe CC apps:
https://helpx.adobe.com/de/illustrator/using/file-info-dialog.html
In my case it happened with latest Indesign (18.5...?), latest Win11 on a Lenovo notebook with a 15" HighDPI screen.
this makes it also imposible to read the "About Indesign
Wondering why Adobe is not able to solve this…

Grep Style at end of Frame Does NOT Map to XML or Show the Style is Applied
Have text lines in a contents like this, where the space is a tab:
DENTITION 287
INDEX 299The paragraph style uses these two GREP style lines to apply a character style that changes the point size of the number to 8.5 pt.
\t[ivxclm0123456789]+[\r\n]+
\t[ivxclm0123456789]+\zWhen the text line is at the end of a frame the number is formatted correctly per the character style at 8.5pt, but when the number is selected InDesign shows the wrong size in the menus, unlike the other numbers NOT at the end of the frame, which shows the point size the number actually…

Border style bottom is being applied twice to the same text.
This is a message for all the adobe indesign programmers, before adding new features can you at least fix all the bugs in this program!
I use the border feature a lot but lately it's been bugger than usual. I have a piece of text that has a border right and bottom. Under it I have another piece of text with the same settings and both have merge borders turned on. Please look at screenshot and tell him what the **** is going on! There is only 2 blocks of text but it's giving me 4 borders!

InDesign and PDF comments: extremely slow
- Version of Adobe InDesign V 18.0
- Importing the PDF comments to indesign, some tags when selected, makes the program extremely slow, taking several minutes to release the indesign again.
- The expected result would be that it was a matter of seconds and not minutes.
- The basic ones work very well, but markings like geometric figures and annotations make the indesign very slow.
- And here's a link to a video to see how you need to switch from one appointment to another: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jzxsh7t9ci0a8y1/teste.mp4?dl=0

Online Copy Editing for Cloud based InDesign file
The feature to export for InCopy isn't available in InDesign Beta. Will InCopy be available via cloud based InDesign files in future, or could there a new online copy editor? A more simple and paired back version of InCopy online just to adjust text within Cloud based InDesign file?

Override to Character Style Gets Removed
File from a client had a character style on a phrase making the phrase Italic. They then overrode part of the phrase with the character style back to Regular.
When a different paragraph style is applied (WITHOUT telling InDesign to remove overrides) the override within the character style goes away, reverting the overridden text back to the character style.
The problem seems to only occur when the font style of the new paragraph style being applied MATCHES the override that's applied.
I.e., overriding to Bold, then applying the a new paragraph style that is Bold, removes the override. BUT overriding…
