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 -
Hyperlink url gets cut off
When creating a hyperlink by selecting text, the hyperlink gets cut off if the selection exceeds a certain number of characters – and the link ends up invalid.
Easy to reproduce, see attached video.

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.

'Use Spacing' *STILL* not working for multiple pages using Page Tool
- Indesign Beta v 18.9
- 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
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

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:
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).
Placed SVGs seem to self-crop about 1px from the edges of the viewbox. Consequently the bounding box has a 1px…

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.

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#M512258Eine 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.

Indesign always crashes during batch processing (after 55 files)
There is a great script for batch processing
creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/batch_convert.htmlBut 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,…

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).

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
