Half of the Tools Don't Work!!
This issue used to only happen sparingly and now its happens almost every time i try to use InDesign — making a 5 min edit take over an hour!
Here are the common uses I experience...
- I can't click on the bottom that lets you toggle from preview and regular mode, I have to right click it
- Changing a color gets very glitchy, doesn't actually change the color to what I tell it to, just says the same
- Can't click on the toggle to get the shape tool
- When I click export or "save as" literally…2 votes -

InDesign 18.1 x64 crashes depending on AppliedLanguage
InDesign 18.1 x64 will open the de.idml file from the archive attached below* but crashes when trying to open cs.idml. The only difference between these two files is a single AppliedLanguage attribute set in Styles.xml.
Please look into why this happens with only one of them (or if both files are considered incorrect, let us know why).
*What I have attached is a .zip archive renamed to .txt. Please rename it back and extract the two files I've mentioned. Your form did not allow me to upload neither .idml nor .zip files.
Thanks for any help! Arnold

custom dictionary
We had spent a lot of money creating user dictionaries for Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu many years back. The dictionaries that worked with CC 2014 are not working now. I have tried many times and my complaints get closed. I have even given ideas of how to solve the problem, but no response. I

Source Sans shifting down issue
Source Sans or INDD has changed from version 17.3 to 17.4. All of the type gets baseline shifted down when you create a new file or if you open up an existing INDD file with Source Sans. It all pushes down inside the text window.
Either an INDD problem or Source Sans coding has changed. Please resolve--its our house typeface.

Palette management is a nightmare. What happened?
M1 Macbook Pro connected to dual displays. Adobe user for 20+ years.
There seems to be no hope for palettes and window positions on Mac OS. I run multiple resolutions at different times based on the displays that are in use. Adobe apps are simply unable to maintain any palette and window locations. The application window moves to half the screen. The documents become dislodged from overall application frame. Palettes "jump" when I move them.
As a user I understand that I have a responsibility to manage my settings, but after repeatedly resetting workspaces and trying to re-arrange palettes. I…

Pantone swatches being removed
I am currently using (and will continue to use) V 17.4 to retain access Pantone colours. I will not be updating my software as I need the Pantone colours to perform the basic duties of my job.
Please do not remove Pantones from Adobe products.

Paper color should be RGB when document is RGB
When I create a new INDD in RGB or convert from CMYK to RGB, the formula for the [Paper] swatch should change with it. Currently the [Paper] swatch is CMYK. This is causing an issue whenever I create a gradient from a vibrant RGB color to [Paper]. The vibrant color gets muddled down to the look of a CMYK conversion. The workaround I've been using is to create a custom white swatch for the gradient, or manually convert [Paper] to RGB. Both workarounds are less than ideal: having a second white swatch in the file may lead to confusion down…

Indesign 2022 (17.1.0.50) IDLK file does not lock
This problem was recently flagged as resolved, but despite the newest InDesign and MacOS versions it is still possible for two users to open the same Indesign file. We are working on a network volume over SMB and it is possible for my colleague to open the same file I am working with. The *.idlk file was generated by the first user, but it is not recognized by the second Indesign user and sometimes subsequently just disappears.
I also tried to reproduce this issue with Indesign 2020 but all worked just as expected.
