Window Crop Issue
If I use multiple Screens, Indesgin and Illustrator (but mainly Indesign) has a huge problem of making the connection between screens. When I return after a short coffee break and unlock my device, indesign jumped in between my screens. I am not able to move indesign around in any screen as the menu bar is completely cropped and disappeared in between screens.
I can restart my computer and indesign multiple times but it does not change. Also deconnecting my screen does not help.I kindly ask you to fix this issue or to give a solution for a work around,…

Browsing, Searching, and Activating fonts
For the last long while I've been having trouble with fonts in indesign and I've heard that others have the same issues.
Only the first time I open the fonts list after restarting indesign, can I scroll through it with my arrow keys. After that, it doesn't work and therefore, it's very difficult to go through my fonts.
Additionally, when I try typing in to the fonts bar to search for a font, it often doesn't pull up the font, as though it's not installed, when I find it if I scroll through the list.
Also, if I try to…

double clicking (to select a word) or triple clicking (to select a line) is not working properly in the newest update.
double clicking (to select a word) or triple clicking (to select a line) is not working properly in the newest update. Double clicking may just insert the cursor in the middle of a word or worse is only selecting part of the word, triple clicking sometimes just selects the word and not the whole line. All preferences are properly set. It just started with 19.0.1

Defined Names in .xlsx files Do Not Work When not specified in A1:Z9 format
To Reproduce:
- Create an excel spreadsheet
- Create a table (example table below)
- Name a range:
- Insert^Name^Define Name
- Use the default "Refers to:" (=Table1[#All])
- Do this a second time
- Use a specific range that is the same area (=Sheet1!$A$1:$C$11)
- Save the fileAttempt to Place in Adobe. Note that the second range is available for placement, the first is not. It seems that any named ranges that don't specify cells, and instead specify other placeholders (i.e. =Table1[[#All],[Description]:[Amount]]) do not work.

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

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 originSummary: 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…

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.

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…

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.
