Alternate glyphs change order unpredicatably
If I show some alternate glyphs (whether in the tiny popup - can we resize this? - or in the Glyphs panel), when I select one, the order of the other glyphs changes. This is really annoying - can they PLEASE stay in the same order, so I can easily switch between them. The current (wrong) system goes like this:
Type a word
Highlight a character
The miniscule glyphs pop-up pops up
I choose the second (miniscule) glyph in the pop-up
I don't really like it
I choose the third glyph in the pop-up
Hold on - isn't that the…1 vote -
current page marker font malfunction if 3 digits or more
The third digit and beyond in the "current page number" marker is distorted in certain fonts, and almost appears to be an old style number (shifted down and squished), even when I set the font's Figure Style to "Proportional Lining" under Paragraph Style > OpenType Features > Figure Style. In fact, it also seems to do it in automated footnote reference numbers, where control of the Figure Style doesn’t seem to work either. However, when I just type out the number using the same style, it appears correct. This issue appears to be in Adobe InDesign 2024 (19.3), but when…

2024 lag
InDesign 2024 is lagging a lot—there's a delay in response when clicking onto a text or content box to edit the content. Even moving from page to page (at typical or fast display) there's a lag.

Preferences: Type: Use of Typographer’s Quote reset to off
- Adobe InDesign 14.0.3
- Create or open a document with Use of Typographer’s Quote checkbox ticked. Copy/Paste text from a document (Word, TextEdit) into the InDesign document. Note that the resetting of the Preferences doesn't happen all the time, only sometimes and I haven't been able to narrow it down to a certain context.
- The pasted text should use Typographer’s Quote according to the Preferences.
- The quotes from that pasted text use straight quotes instead, and when opening the Preferences, the checkbox is now unticked.
Note: I've encountered this bug in previous versions of InDesign from CS5 up to the current…

Whenever I use psd files in the links the pdf export file becomes huge like 10x bigger than when I a flatted version
I have a digital catalogue and in working with lots of psd in the links. To create a small pdf I have to instead of links the psd, to export to png and than put it in the indesign.

And yes, I'm checking the export only appearce on the export.

pdf import corrections
Indesign 19,.5 Imac 2020. When there are many corrections in a file it would be great if after accepting the correction, the correction would be deleted from the list of corrections, because Indesign can become very slow with 700+ corrections. And whats the use of keeping it in the list after accepting the correction.

OpenType mark positioning messed up when using bidi text with Thaana font
The font uses ccmp feature to build dotted glyph from base glyphs.
When a LTR character comes into question, these glyphs are rendered incorrectly.
See the screenshot.

Deleting spreads takes many minutes
The time it takes to delete spreads increases with the number of spreads being deleted. To delete 200 spreads in one go, it takes ten to twenty minutes. This operation should be instantaneous.

BUG: Word import: Styles
InDesign 19.5 x64 (Win) 2024
When importing Word files wrong styles are applied:
- with no frame selected a style is chosen (p.a. Style-A)
- click in a frame, selected Style is different (p.e. Style-B)
- Word is imported (formatting removed, local overrides kept) -> Text (even if cursor is within text formatted in Style-B) is formatted in Style-A
This is bad p.e. when italics is needed as local override, and the wrong style is italics too (then evereything is italcs ...).

Table Stroke adjusment panel
On the Table Stroke adjustment panel, the thin blue lines are difficult to see for someone with color deficient vision or reduced visual acuity. I suggest increasing the width of the highlighted stroke to indicate which are selected.

Keyboard shortcuts to resize assets suddenly stop working
InDesign V19.5 on MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1.
Keyboard shortcuts to resize assets on a spread stop working once a document has been open for a while. Shortcuts such as CMD+ALT+Click to resize container box and the asset within, while maintaining proportions, CMD+click to resize container, while maintaining proportions, don't work.
The only fix I've found is to restart my Mac. Closing and reopening InDesign doesn't fix the issue.

review search
When sharing a review: On the review web page, there is no longer a possibility to search for text. This makes reviewing long documents with many pages nearly impossible. Reviewers have to manually go through all the pages to find the content that's relevant.
Until around mid-2024, it was possible to use the browser's search function (CTRL+F). This has been disabled. Even if enforced (entering search through the browser's menu), it does not work.
To me, having no possibility to search for text in a document that should be reviewed, sounds like a severe, obvious oversight and should be addressed…

Error with InDesign (Beta): "Some files required for color management are missing"
Hi, when I start the just-released InDesign (Beta) on Windows ARM, I get the error "Some files required for color management are missing. Please re-install the application to ensure proper functioning".
I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and have used the Creative Cloud Cleaner, but it doesn't resolve the issue. InDesign seems to be running OK even after getting the error, so it's more of a nuisance than anything. I may run into some issues in future with color management though.

cross-reference
Bonjour,
Je travaille présentement sur un long document dans lequel j'ai intégré un lexique à la fin. J'utilise des cibles hyperliens pour afficher les entrées du lexique à partir du texte au moyen de références croisées.
Or, les cibles hyperliens disparaissent aléatoirement et fréquemment. Si j'essaie de réparer tous les liens brisés, je n'arrive pas à terminer toutes les réparations avant que des liens réparés soient à nouveau brisés.

Text and picture boxes flash white when selecting and moving
This is a problem I’ve been experiencing for some time and it’s still present in the latest version I’ve updated to.
Whenever I select any item on the page - a picture box or text box - and I drag to another position, the item flashes white for a frame as I move it. This occurs whether I move the item with or without holding down the Shift key. It is only the item that flashes, not the rest of the page, but if I am moving a large shape or the background image, it becomes uncomfortable to the eye.
