Page navigation information built incorrectly in epubs exported from books (.indb files)
In InDesign 19.4 x64, when an epub export is created for a book (.indb file), page navigation links restart at page 1 for every document (.indd file). The toc.xhtml file looks okay despite this, but in the document xhtml files, the software is treating duplicates as non-unique and appending a sequence number to them. As a result, many of the links in the toc.xhtml file are broken. I've attached a text file showing portions of the relevant xhtml files illustrating this problem.
This is a major issue, because some epub distributors catch the error in validation and prevent the book…

PNGs will often export at low resolution unless "high quality display" is selected
I have a graphic which includes a cropped part of a PDF which is a CAD drawing. I select it all, export to a PNG at 600dpi. Put it into Word and when I zoom in it's fairly pixelated: definitely not 600dpi.
If I select the placed PDF, turn the display performance to "High Quality Display" and re-export, it's a beautiful 600dpi file. This screams "bug" to me.
I'll add this to another bug report of mine, which is that if a link is modified or missing, you won't get a warning when exporting a PNG that uses it (you…

Is this a text wrap problem or something else??
I use InDesign 2022. My Text wrap is set to 'none'.
When I open a new text box it’s automatically applying a 1" a white space top and bottom that is the width of the text box. Also a 1/4" white space to each side of the box, that is the height of the text box. These 'white panels' (I hesitate to call them text wraps) blank out other text boxes and photos, but sometimes the text from the underlying text box shows through. Bringing the photo to the front can help where a photo is concerned.
This is especially…

Window with InDesign document goes black with clicks etc. when using 2 screens
I am using InDesign 19.4. on a MacStudio with MacOs Sonoma 14.4.1. 2 screens are connected: Apple Studio Display 27 inch (main screen), to the right BenQ PD2710QC.
When I have an InDesign document open on the main screen (left screen) and the window of the document touches the right and bottom edge of the screen, the window with the document constantly goes black when I perform various actions such as right-clicking or moving an object in the document. When I click again, the screen returns to normal. This problem is terribly annoying.
The only solution so far: The window…

Version 19.4 - InDesign mangles keywords so that they are not searchable
Placement of a valid keyword searchable PDF or EPS file into InDesign and subsequent export to PDF leads to mangling of original words with the addition of one letter from another word.

html footnote
I have the problem that the export of HTML from InDesign CC24 spits out a completely different structure for the footnotes, now the footnotes are a ordered list, even if the lists are output in text during export.

Variable Font Custom Weights Not Available
InDesign 19.1. I recently installed a new variable font from Monotype (https://www.myfonts.com/collections/unitext-variable-font-monotype-imaging). When using the slider to adjust the weight variable, the font breaks and defaults to the regular weight.
The same font works fine on Illustrator. Other variable fonts on InDesign (e.g. Acumin Variable) also work fine, so the issue seems to be tied to this specific font and InDesign only.

Password protect bug
The new password protect feature worked fine on the 25th April.
However I've noticed a bug on a document I was testing today 27 April.The same document was showing a 'access denied' page though would allow me to see page past page 1.
Page 1 would not load.
The same thing happened on a newly uploaded version of that document.
The document has 16 pages with animation to the first page.
This error happened across safari and chrome browsers.
The document works fine when re-uploaded without password protection.2 votes -
Files won't open
Trying to open some files from File Explorer or within InDesign: Adobe Creative Cloud message states: "InDesign could not open "[file name]" because it has been created in a newer version - Adobe InDesign 19.4. You can convert and open this file but you may lose out on content created using the features specifgic to the latest versions. For the best experience, we recommend updating InDesign to the latest version." I am always updated since I use the auto-update feature for all products. If I attempt to use the "Update" link provided I get this message: "You're up to date!".…

Small implied movement when selecting elements
I have an issue with the latest versions of InDesign.
Whenever I select any element/object/text/images etc inside my Page or any pages, there is a delay in the selection with a tiny registered displacement of the selected object by one or 2 pixels.My only solution to fix it is to Cmd+z to invert the latest action that resulted from it. I didn't have that issue a month ago and it is very disruptive, could say that it is anti-productive. I am running Indesign on the latest version of Mac OS sonoma on a M1 max machine. The problem occurs…

Text selecting freeses program
Today I updated InDesing to 19.4 It is no longer possible to work - every time you mark the text block, the clock starts spinning and everything hangs. ****, why publish an update without testing it well and thus hinder our work. I was forced to install version 19.3 back.

Issues with Color Picker in InDesign: HSB and RGB Confusion Leading to Unexpected Colors
When I open the color picker to adjust a shade, I usually automatically do so in HSB, since I usually want a lighter or darker shade of what I'm working on. But if I don't actually click on the radial buttons for the HSB value I'm working on, InDesign will give me some wild colors! It seems to be confusing HSB and RGB somehow--but I don't know why or how, since I'm editing in the HSB boxes.
If I'm using an HSB Swatch and open the color picker to get a different shade, the "original" color box shows something completely…

TOC Paragraph Styles not Applying Properly
I'm using InDesign version 19.4. I am trying to generate a TOC for my document. I have ensured that all my paragraph and character styles are appropriately titled and applied throughout my document.
When I produce my TOC, the entire thing is capitalized, despite the paragraph style having "normal" case set. When I highlight the auto-generated TOC, it is indicating that the correct paragraph style is applied, however, it is not reflecting it.
If I click around to my different paragraph styles, it alters the font size, color, etc. but everything remains capitalized, despite none of the styles having that…

Lower Case with Caps Lock and Shift
In my new install, InDesign24, pressing shift while using caps lock doesn't make the text lower case, despite this working in other programs. Is there a preference or setting in InDesign I'm not aware is clicked to make this function as before?

Adding words to Thai User Dictionary does not add whole word recognition
In Thai, you can add a word with or without hyphenation to the Thai language User Dictionary and that word does not become recognized as a whole word. If you double click on the word, it will still only highlight parts of the word that it recognizes as forming a word (leaving the rest of the added word not selected).
This leads to hyphenation problems because if InDesign still sees the word in three parts then it will break the word into those parts without recognizing the need to hyphenate the word.
So there needs to be a way for…
