2. 18.1 Workspace resets to 'essentials'

   I'm working with Indesign 18.1 (issue also has occured with other older versions).

   My custom workspace utilizes a two-screen setup, one screen for the actual layout and the other screen for all the menus/palettes etc.

   Everytime I close out of a document and reopen a new document, the custom workspace resets from my custom workspace to a generic one-screen workspace. In previous versions, that reverted workspace was 'essentials' but with 1.81 it seems to be a partially custom / nondescript workspace....most likely because I went and deleted the 'essentials' workspace here:

   /Applications/Adobe InDesign 2023/Presets/InDesign_Workspaces

   I am working with a lot of different files everyday so this constant "reset, reapply the workspace" process is a real chore.

   I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app, I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling/updating to the current version from an older version also.

3. Spot colors flagged because their name includes the word "pantone"

   InDesign 19
   Steps: Opening any file with manually-built spot colors with the word "pantone" in their names brings up the "this document uses Pantone colors" blue nag
   Expected: that spot colors built manually, not using any installed color books, will be left alone
   Actual: apparently the software flags the word "pantone", regardless of its origin

   Summary: Manually-created spot colors are being flagged in Indesign because they have Pantone in their names. I legally purchased Pantone books in prior years, and the colors I'm using were built by referring to the builds from those books. I am not using any installed software color libraries. I am not even using the color builds from the last several years' books. I may not use Pantone as a system anymore, but my printers do and pay their own licensing for its use. I have to tell them what color to use. How does Adobe propose I do this, if not in the way I have set up?

   Resolved For User  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

   The Style Packs feature is currently available only in English (International), English (North America), and German locales of InDesign.

   If you are using InDesign on any other locale than the ones mentioned above, you will not see this feature.

   Hope this helps.

5. Recent File menu text garbled

   When opening InDesign and seeing the Recent File menu filter screen before opening a document, the text is garbled, almost as if it's layered over previous versions of the same file. See screengrab attached.

6. Auto-Size Frames create Overset Text when scaled or embedded

   Indd 2022 (German), v 17.4.2.77

   A recurring Bug: when auto-size text frames are embedded into each other and then placed from CC Libraries into a document and/or the included paragraph styles are updated, the frame collapses and creates overset Text.

   Similarily, the frames sometimes expland to ridiculous sizes. Usually, this can be "fixed" by typing in a new character and then deleting it, causing the frame to reevaluate its size. However it severely impacts the usability of our standard assets.

   Another issue: if a text frame is set to "auto-size" and there are borders set within the text frame, it will create Overset Text after scaling. The frame has to be fit to content anew to get rid of it. This should not happen.

7. Design disappears in workspace, only selections are visible

   This issue seems to happen out of nowhere. Sometimes when revisiting InDesign, sometimes when zooming in or out. My whole design disappears into the workspace, only showing the selections when I click them.

   The only fix for now is saving and restarting InDesign, but it's very inconvenient.

   I am using macOS Sonoma 14.1, and InDesign 18.5.1.

8. About the default file format for PDF export of a book

   Indesign 18.5 x64
   Windows 10 64bit
   Japanese version

   Selecting the default format for pdf export of books
   Due to the file type being in string order, the interactive format pdf is the default.
   It takes a step to select the print-ready format pdf, and one out of two times I accidentally select the interactive format.
   I almost never select the interactive format in my work.
   That being said, I think some users would prefer the interactive format to be the default, so we should be able to set the default format for the book's PDF output from the settings. Or, I would like PDF export for printing to be a separate menu item, just as PDF export for documents is a separate menu item.

10. Adobe InDesign list panels unusable + Mouse click outside InDesign window not working.

    After I type any value by keyboard entering on a dialogue box (like font size, transparency, color tone, font spacing etc), all InDesign list panels become unusable: list elements (swatches, fonts etc) slip away from mouse selection like they were anchored to cursor.

    In the video:
    1. two panels working correctly (not important which panels, the issue appears on ANY panel);
    2. typing of a random value on a random box (not important which box, the issue appears after ANY keyboard entering on ANY box);
    3. the same panels not working anymore (in the video I am only moving the cursor over them, without pressing any mouse button).

    Mouse click outside InDesign window to desktop or other apps also doesn't work.
    Functionality can be restored only by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Canc and then Esc.

    InDesign version: 18.2.1 (+ ANY earlier CC version. I posted an identical report for version 16 too).

    OS: Windows 10 x64
    PC model: Dell XPS-15
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

13. [ID-4261362] When using real endnotes in InDesign and exporting as a tagged PDF, the tag tree isn't created correctly.

    When you use real endnotes in InDesign and export as a tagged PDF, the resulting tag tree is not generated properly.
    This behavior can be reproduced for at least for InDesign 16, 17, 18.

    Result now:
    <P>
    --<Note>
    ----<Link>
    ------OBJR
    --ALL CONTENT

    Minium correct result:
    <Note>
    --<P>
    ----<Link>
    ------OBJR
    ------Endnote number
    ----Endnote content

    In addition: The placement attribute for <Note> should be "Block".

    This can only be fixed with a lot of work in the PDF.

    Best, Klaas

14. Bulleted and numbered lists, "Restart Numbers at This Level After:" behavior is not consistent

    1. create a document with "Bulleted and numbered lists" and List Type "Numbers" 　* There are 3 types of headings and 3 levels.
    2. set the levels so that each heading is renumbered according to the higher level heading. 3.
    3. re-set the numbering style to "none" or remove "^#" from the "Number" to indicate numbering
    4. the numbers are no longer re-numbered.

    Workaround: set Mode to "Start At: 1" instead of "Continue from Previous Number

    I had quite a bit of trouble finding a workaround. Also, it is often the case that the higher levels do not want to display numbers, so the behavior should be consistent.

    箇条書き、「指定レベル以降で番号を振り直し」の動作が一貫していない
    1.　箇条書き、自動番号を設定したドキュメントを作成する
    　※見出しは3種類あり、レベルは3段階あるものとする
    2.　各々の見出しは、上位の見出しによって番号が振り直されるようにレベルを設定する
    3.　番号の種類を「なし」に設定し直すか、テキストから番号を表示するための「^#」を削除する
    4.　番号が降り直されなくなる

    回避方法：モードを「前の番号から継続」ではなく「開始番号：1」とする

    回避方法を見つけるまでかなり苦労した。また、上位レベルでは番号を表示したくない場合も往々にしてあるので、動作は一貫していることが望ましい。

15. Stile di carattere

    Non è una nuova idea. è un bug dall'ultimo aggiornamento. Se faccio una stringa di testo e seleziono stile di carattere ad esempio corsivo, tondo chiaro ecc. selezionando la singola parola e applico lo stile influisce sull'intera strinca a differenza della precedente versione che teneva lao stile solo sul testo selezionato pur nella stressa riga.

17. Certain placed PDFs look fine but become strange when part of InDesign export to PDF

    InDesign version 18.3. The issue is explained thoroughly in this forum thread, with lots of example exports: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/pdf-export-messes-up-placed-pdf-and-is-affected-by-mark-bleed-settings/m-p/13957529

    Summary: If you place either of the attached PDFs (which were made in Word for Mac), and then try to make a PDF from InDesign, the black rectangle that is in the background of the content will change size unexpectedly. It will always look fine in InDesign but mess up when exported. And the degree to which it changes will vary depending on various factors like marks and bleed, which should have nothing to do with the placed PDF.

18. Images are being flipped on InDesign 2023 > 2024 update

    As title describes, I have a file that is suitable for InDesign 2023 (18.5.0.57), when I open it in InDesign 2024 (19.0.0.151) some rare cases (twice in 1 day) there have been images that have been flipped upside down.

    Fortunately both times the client's have picked this up, I work for a print industry and send back PDFs for print approval. This is the final stage before print.

20. After IDS install or update calls to preflight() don't work unless you manually edit ExportPreflightReport.jsx

    Whenever we install or update InDesign Server we can't call preflight() unless we manually edit the ExportPreflightReport.jsx file found here:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign Server 2023\Scripts\Preflight

    We've had to do this for every version of IDS we've installed or updated (v15, v18.2.1 and 18.5). We're using Windows Server 2022 in Azure (Win64).

    I can't attach jsx or zip files but edits required are described at the bottom of this post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/problem-with-save-preflight-report-using-javascript-in-macintosh/td-p/5831477

    If we don't make these changes, calls to preflight on IDS don't produce a report. The script (ExportPreflightReport.jsx) works on InDesign Desktop.

    It would be great if IDS shipped with this ExportPreflightReport.jsx ready to go.

    Thanks.
