1. 'Use Spacing' *STILL* not working for multiple pages using Page Tool

   1. Indesign Beta v 18.9
   2. Turn off Facing pages and deselect 'Allow pages to shuffle'

   • create multiple pages and then 'attach' one to another, by clicking and dragging a page alongside another in the pages panel, until you see the grey 'hook' then release it, so they stick together.

   • Now select multiple pages using the Page tool and the 'Use Spacing' option appears at the top. Type in a number, say, 50mm

   1. Expected result: All pages move 50mm away from each other, and you should be able to attach as many pages together as required for the task

   2. Actual result: everything stays the same, no spacing between 'artboards/pages' is automatically inserted, and you can only attach 10 pages together.

   NOTES:
   • I was hoping this issue was resolved in Beta.

   • I've tried 3 different computers (MacBook Pro M1 Max, iMac 2017 5k, MacBook Pro 15inch 2015) and doesn't work on any of them.

   It's a feature that would save a lot of designers working with Point of sale and event exhibition design, to be able to organise 'artboards/pages' directly in InDesign.

   Thanks

2. Placed SVG bounding box not correctly sized to viewbox/clipping path

   When placing an SVG file in an InDesign document, the object's bounding box does not match the actual extent of the SVG file correctly. There are two issues I have noticed:

   1. When elements extend beyond the SVG's viewbox, InDesign incorrectly sets the bounding box of the asset at the full extent of those elements. This occurs even if those elements are contained within a clipping path (as defined within the SVG – not referring to ID's built-in clipping path feature).

   2. Placed SVGs seem to self-crop about 1px from the edges of the viewbox. Consequently the bounding box has a 1px inset border of transparency, after which the SVG contents are visible.

3. Table & mixed inks on InDesign 18.1

   I created a group of mixed inks from 2 Pantones (432 and 2995) in 10% increments (121 shades in total).

   I create a table with alternate backgrounds (FPGP2995 shades 1 and 12). Everything's good. But when I select the first line to change it to shade 121, it systematically puts it at 20%! And if I change the percentage, it selects PFGP2995, i.e. the ink group...and the line stays white! I am attaching screenshots.

4. EPS-Import CYMK swatch LAB

   InDesign 18.1, macMOS Ventura 13.1, Mac Studio M1 Max

   Lesen Sie auch hier für eine sehr ausführliche Beschreibung und Lösungsansätze mit Beispieldateien:
   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/eps-import-wandelt-vollton-darstellung-von-lab-in-cmyk/m-p/13512387#M512258

   Eine Volltonfarbe, z.B. Pantone, ist in InDesign bereits angelegt. Die Darstellung der Farbe ist in LAB.

   Wenn ich nun ein EPS (aus Adobe Illustrator) mit der gleichen Pantone-Farbe importiere, dann springt die Darstellung der Farbe von LAB auf CMYK um und wird dadurch wesentlich schlechter.

   Das geschieht auch mit anderen Farben, z.B. ANPA.

5. Footnotes still dropping out

   I'm using 18.1 and still having problems with footnotes dropping out randomly after I export to PDF. This bug has not been fixed, even though it's been a problem since at least 15.1.

6. problem of distorted previews even though their link is correct

   I am on indesign 18.1. Mac OS ventura 13.1.
   I have a problem displaying the images once I re-open my document. They appear stretched and refuse to export the pdf. The image links are correct and I have not moved the images from their original location. I have to manually update the links each time for the pdf to work. Can you help me?

8. Effect color cannot be changed, InDesign freezes

   Version 18.2.1 on Windows 11

   Steps:
   1. Open a new document
   2. Create a rectangle
   3. Right-click on it, browse to "Effects" and select "Drop Shadow"
   4. Click on the shadow color

   Expected:
   "Effect color" window opens

   Actual:
   "Effects" window is disabled (grey header), but no window opens. Furthermore, no InDesign window can be enabled when clicking on it. Documents can also not be saved via Ctrl+S. I have to close InDesign in Task Manager.

9. Indesign always crashes during batch processing (after 55 files)

   There is a great script for batch processing
   creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/batch_convert.html

   But on the last few versions of indesign, an error is generated after processing 55 files. It does not matter what documents and in what format to convert. For example, I created an empty document, copied it 60 times, and ran the script. Also on file 56, indesign crashed with an error.

   However, this is not an error of the script itself, the author could not reproduce it no matter how hard he tried. On previous versions of indesign (a year ago) everything worked without errors.

   I also deleted the settings, reinstalled indesign - the error persists

11. World-Ready Composer Breaks Text Variables on Export to Fixed Layout ePub Format

    If one inserts a current page number marker or a text variable on a master page and the paragraph style of that text specifies Adobe World-Ready Composer in Justification, when exported to fixed layout ePub, the page number or text variable will not print. This bug is present in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 and possibly earlier versions (haven't checked).

12. dark interface &

    Appearance dark theme not matching the settings or OS. I selected dark theme but pasteboard and window top bar light grey. It should be uniform dark.

    Other issue is workspaces often does not show up after launching app requiring me to select a workspace other than my custom setting to show up on screen and only then can I select my custom workspace to have it show up. If I select my custom workspace right away after launch when no windows or tools show up nothing happens the screen stays without any panels or tools. Clearly a bug

14. Inconsistent names of spaces in Czech UI

    There is a mess in the names of spaces in Czech UI. The names of spaces are not consistent:

    Em Space = "Em mezera" or "Dlouhá mezera"
    En Space = "En mezera" or "Krátká mezera"
    Nonbreaking Space = "Pevná mezera" or "Nedělitelná mezera"

    Depending on the situation, the user sees either one or the other name for an identical space.

    I suggest to:
    1. Use "En mezera" and "Em mezera" only. It is not the traditional Czech name, it is an Anglicism, but quite widespread and understandable
    2. Use "Čtverčíková mezera" and "Půlčtverčíková mezera", the traditional typographic terms, nevertheless some may find it obsolete

    Terms "Dlouhá mezera" and "Krátká mezera" are confusing. It means "Long space" and "Short space". But how long? What does short means? It indicates that it is shorter than the default space, but it is actually wider. Both terms were never used in Czech language. Professionals use "Čtverčíková mezera", young people use "Em mezera". No one would ever use "Dlouhá mezera".

    As for the nonbreaking spaces, correct options for "Nonbreaking space" and "Nonbreaking space (fixed width)" are:

    Nedělitená mezera
    Nedělitená mezera (pevná šířka)
    or
    Nezlomitelná mezera
    Pevná mezera
    or
    Nedělitená mezera
    Pevná mezera

    Explanation:

    "Nedělitelná mezera" or "Nezlomitelná mezera" is the correct term for Nonbreaking space of variable width

    "Pevná mezera" is the correct name for Nonbreaking space of fixed width

    "Nedělitelná mezera (fixed with)" is a weird neologism. It is something like "Horse (with stripes)" instead of "Zebra".

16. After typing values in dialogue boxes, InDesign list panels unusable + Mouse click outside InDesign window not working

    Hi all,
    I have a persistent issue with scrolling some InDesign panel lists such as swatches, font list, font weight.
    After I type any set value on a dialogue box (like font size, transparency, color tone, font spacing etc), some fundamental InDesign panels become unusable: list elements (swatches, fonts etc) slip away from mouse selection like they were anchored to cursor.
    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.

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

    More details about malfunctioning:

    • Paragraph/Font Style panel list, Glyphs list, Layers/Pages/Links panel lists work correctly.

    • If I set a Font/Paragraph Style: font scrolling and selection on Style Option window works, whereas swatch scrolling and selection has the same issue shown on the attached video.

    I already tried to delete InDesign cache and I also restored default InDesign preferences, but issue recurs.
    I think there could be a conflict between InDesign and hardware/OS settings, here details:

    InDesign version: 18.2.1 (+ ANY earlier CC version. I had identical issues on all previous versions on this pc).
    OS: Windows 10 x64, all updates installed
    PC model: Dell XPS-15 7590
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
    Mouse model: Dell WM615 (Bluetooth), drivers updated to last version.

    Thank you

17. InDesign 2023 (18.0)

    When attempting to switch the font family, the font menu jumps all the way to the top of the list instead of moving up to the previous font family in the list.

    Hack solution: If you choose a different weight and then attempt to change the font family, the font menu works correctly and doesn't jump to the top.

    This makes 2023 unusable, downgrading until fixed.

18. email QR Codes don't work with MATMSG formatting

    InDesign 18.1 on Mac OS 13.2.1 Ventura - Data merge for email QR codes specifically doesn't work, and your documentation is frankly non-existent. Using the MATMSG format doesn't produce a working QR with Data Merge, but using HTML format mailto in Plain Text does. I'm sure I'll run into the wrong version VCARD problem soon, too.

    This is consistent using the MATMSG format in a .csv with data Merge. Using the manual entry isn't a workable option due to the quantity of codes being generated.

19. Nothing changed, but InDesigns asks for saving changes

    When opening an object, doing nothing (or just print) and closing it, InDesign comes up with a dialog to save changes. That feels very uncomfortable - did I change something by accident?

    PS Pressing cmd-S for save brings up the Save As... dialog.

20. Descendant Report

    descendent over run the original person at more generations. This does not happen all the time, but occasionally. I uploaded first page and last page to illustrate. Didn't mean to load them multiple times I didn't realize I was doing it at first then I couldn't erase them. Hope this is not a dumb question sometimes I have a hard time explaining myself.
    Thanks
