Clustered QR Code
The QR codes are very clustered making them nearly impossible to scan. It would be helpful to have a QR Styles option or more options for editing the density of the QR code. It would also be great to have ability to add a Logo or image to the center of a QR code.

Duplicated page removes some character styles
Duplicating a page removed some character styles in my document. Only on half the page though.
Super weird bug, tbh.
Your site does not allow uploading indesign files (!) but I can supply it upon request.
It'd be better if that were not a public upload :)

[BUG] PDF export creating with hidden attribute
We are an enterprise customer who haven't been able to get anywhere with the following:
Issue occurs on Ventura 13.1 and Adobe InDesign 18.1.
When exporting a PDF file to Mac desktop the file exports as expected.
When exporting to a remote SMB share file creates with "Hidden" file attribute applied making the file invisible for those who do not have "Show hidden files" enabled.This is the same file, from the same computer at the same time with the only difference being the remote location.
Tested on two different Imac's (None apple silicon) running Ventura 13.1

W switch between normal and bleed mode
Pressing W switch between normal and bleed mode and not between normal and preview mode for this specific document.
And sometimes no shortcut is working for this INDD.
It seems I can't upload an INDD (but no rules for uploaded files, why?) so I put the document and a screenshot with the version of InDesign here for 2 weeks: https://we.tl/t-z2fsKnVm8o

some of the objects seems to be missing although they are appearing on the page
some of the objects seems to be missing although they are appearing on the page. you can see them only if you press - select all, but can't select separately.
But when I create a pdf file all the "missing" objects appears on the page. It's a big and complex file of about 70 pages.

Toolbars and palettes missing on startup
Since upgrading to Ventura I have no toolbars or palettes – the whole workspace in effect – every time I open InDesign. I can always get them back by switching to a different workspace and back but this happens every time I reopen it.
I have reset preferences and caches, reinstalled the software and removed plugins but nothing works.

Workspace not loading on open in 2023
So, today's thing that's broken is when I boot up indesign for the first time of the day all my panels and toolbars are missing. Selecting my workspace doesn't bring them back, I have to select a different workspace, then select mine to bring them back. Does anyone at adobe actually care about Indesign any more? This app has been riddled with bugs now for around 4 years - stuff that's been flagged up years ago still not fixed, like the graphics streaking across the page causing objects to disappear for example

Information panel not usable
I use Indesign 18.3 on MSI CreatorPro X17 W11 (last version) PC and the Information panel is not usable. The panel is far to big, and not movable !!!!
The monitor setup is 3840x2160 with zoom factor of 225%.
It seems the zoom factor is appied to the text but NOT to the Information panel size. The app and other panels are OK.
I reset completely the caches and personal parameters, nothing helps.1 vote -
Multiple cross-references for same index entry are not in alphabetical order
When multiple index cross-references ('See' and 'See also' references) are added under an index entry, they are listed in the order they are added, and not in alphabetical order, as they should be. Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the order afterwards. The only way is to add the cross-references in alphabetical order from the beginning.

Shuts down without any error message
Adobe Indesign v 18.2.1 on Windows 11
The app just decides to close by its own at somepoint during the work, without any error message.
If you open the same file again, it closes again when you repeat your last action.
I tried saving it with another name, close the app, restart the notebook, and it keeps heappening.
I tried starting a new file, it keeps heappening. At some point it just closes without any error message.
I tried opening the same files at another computer (also v. 18.2.1 on win 11), with another adobe account, it keeps heappening

Scrollbar is hidden upon defocusing the InDesign window
Upon defocusing the InDesing window, the scrollbar disappears.
This issue is creating usability problems - working on 2 monitors, clicking on the other monitor to grab some image or text, then trying to return to InDesign by clicking the scrollbar to scroll to the desired position does not work. Instead, randomly clicking the empty scrollbar randomly scrolls to the left or to the right.
Whoever had the idea to hide the scrollbars had a very bad decision. None of known apps are hiding the scrollbar upon defocus, also, hiding the scrollbar has absolutely no benefits, just drawbacks.
Please stop hiding…2 votes -

Unable to Underline Numbering in List
I have been facing an issue while trying to underline the numbering in a list.
I am able to underline the text, but not the numbering.
The character style is also not helping me in this case.
