Window Resizing Bug
InDesign 18.2.1 on MacOS 12.3.1 (have been having the same issue for the past few ID updates)
When application frame is turned off so that document windows float, document windows cannot be resized as expected. When dragging one edge, other sides of the window resize themselves – example .mov attached.

IOS picking up URL in plain Text
Creating a QR using the "Plain Text" option, to generate a note when scanned. There are a few URL's within the plain text. Android phones are picking up the QR code as intended, opening a note on their phone. However, iPhones are picking up the first URL in the plain text, despite it being 1/3 of the way down the text. It doesn't matter what the URL is. Third party cameras and Android cameras work fine, iOS cameras don't.

Publish Online Cover Thumbnail does NOT work when posting to social
Publish Online Cover Thumbnail does NOT work. No cover thumbnail appears when posted to social or sent via text message. I have tried using the first page of the publish online document as well as an independent image. Just a blank unappealing link appears for the post/text.
This is disappointing and needs to be fixed.

Underlining out of position when text in a table cell uses a World-Ready composer
When the text in a table cell uses a World-Ready composer and is underlined, the underlining in the last line is out of position. The invisible end-of-cell mark is underlined, but the first character in the line is only partially underlined. The workaround I've been using is to add a nonjoiner character at the beginning of the line. Doing so shifts the underlining into the correct position.
- Adobe InDesign 18.2.1
- Type enought text in a table cell to fill at least two lines; justify it with either of the World-Ready composers; underline the last line of text.
- Underlining should begin…

BUG: nothing shows when first opening a file until you click on the page
Newer small bug but updates have not fixed this. When opening a file, especially a placed indd file inside a indd file, the page is blank until you click on the page. Not a huge issue but very strange as some may just sit there and wait without clicking.

Menu bar gets stuck - Indesign on M1 Pro mac
On a regular basis the pull down menus in Indesign will stop reacting properly: Clicking menu item will select the topic (screenshot 1), but not pull down the menu. A second click AND hold will pull down the menu, but all the sub-menus remain unavailable, they will not pull out. The issue is persisent: Restarting Indesign does not fix it once it starts occuring, but restarting the computer will fix it. The issue may be OS related, but it only occurs in Indesign, and only on my M1 Pro computer, not my older Intel mac.
The issue usually occurs after…

Spinning Beach Ball appears every time I try to highlight text
- InDesign 18.0
- Seems just clicking with the Text Tool gets a spinning ball. Even worse if I try to highlight after clicking. 30-60 second wait. 3, Expect to highlight text as in the past.
- Once the ball stops spinning, maybe one character has been highlighted.

Tried resetting preferences. No change.
Checked for corrupted fonts and removed. No change. (I'm using fonts from TypeKit, which don't appear to be installed in FontBook.)
Uninstalled InDesign. Shut down computer. Reinstalled InDesign.
Checked for corrupted file. (Saved copy. No change. Saved to imdl. No change.)
Tried opening file on different computer. Same…2 votes -
Cannot place .xlsx spreasheet
InDesign 18.2.1
MacOS Ventura 13.2.1Attempting to place an .xlsx spreadsheet goes no where - freezes about 3/4 of the way through process.
(left for longer than 10 minutes, nothing changed, still stuck at same point).If I export the .xlsx from Numbers it won't place at all (get the error 'Cannot place this file') (original file was made with Microsoft and supplied to me).
I have 'Create Links When Placing Text and Spreadsheet Files' enabled, as well as 'Show import options'.
I have tried disabling both - same thing happens.1 vote -

Paragraph panel very slow to open
InDesign v. 18.0 / working on Macbook Pro, macOS Ventura 13.0.1
Help! When I click on the Paragraph tools panel, it takes about 3 seconds for it to open. Other panels (characters, styles, swatches, etc.) open immediately.
This is a new issue with this version of InDesign. Is there something I can do to fix this?

matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor resets pasteboardMargins to [0,0]
In a script, app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor to 1 causes app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.pasteboardMargins to reset to [0,0].
Furthermore, setting the pasteboardMargins doesn't work after setting app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor to 1.
(While matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor is set to 0 everything works fine.)

Numeric pad Key "3" not working when specific char style is present
I have the same issue with Num pad Key "3" and I have narrowed it down to one specific character style. When this style is present in a document, then Num pad 3 is not working. I have an indesign file with nothing else inside other than this character style but it is not accepted for upload.

한글 입력 모드 인지, 영어 입력 모드인지, 알려주는 부분이 필요합니다.
인디자인 프로그램 사용할 때,
현재 한글 입력 모드인지, 영어 입력 모드
알려주는 표시가 안보이는 것으로 보아서,
이런 기능이 없는 것으로 생각하고 있습니다.
인디자인에서 글자를 입력할 때,
한글 모드 인지, 영어 모드 인지 표시가 항상 있어서,
글자를 입력할 때,
사전에
어느 입력 모드 상태인지
인식을 한 상태에서
한글이나 영어를 정확하게 입력이 될 수 있도록
이 기능이 보완이 되면 좋겠습니다.

Opening documents as tabs cannot be deactivated
Always open documents as tabs even if you have not selected this in the settings under User interface -> Open documents as tabs. I need different window sizes and find tabs impractical.

Text mode always open in a tab
Text mode CMD-Y always opens in a tab and thus reduces the size of all other open windows. Text mode becomes almost unusable.
