Paste with Formatting Button Obscures Text
The new button to paste with or without text formatting is positioned so it covers up punctuation at the end of the text. This is a problem because you can't tell if the punctuation is correct and present unless you deselect, press Esc, etc. The button should be positioned lower, like the old OpenType button so all the text and punctuation can be clearly seen.

Activated Fonts aren't showing in the font drop down
The activated fonts aren't showing in the font drop down. They are showing under the Type menu at the top though. Nothing that I can't work with, Just very inconvenient

hand tool stuck after sleep
Almost always after computer screen sleep, InDesign is stuck with hand tool selected. Switching tool appears to work (changing in the panel), but cursor is still showing (and working) as the hand tool. Works after restarting Indesign. Sometimes it also resolves itself after a while, if I go working in other apps.
The problem has been present for several versions of both InDesign and macOS, so it's not a recently appeared problem.

text typed on path distorts when converted to outlines
Using InDesign v17.2.1, text typed on a path becomes distorted when converted to outlines. As you'll see in the attached before/after images, the converted text is mostly okay, but the last few words become almost illegibly small. The characters also become reoriented relative to the path ... some characters are vertical, others upside-down. I've tried changing fonts, creating new documents, and typing on paths of different shapes, but the problem persists. I was hoping that this problem would be addressed in the latest update, but it wasn't.

Embed Image Blocks not supported in PublishingOnline
Adobe Indesign CC 2023 (18.1)
I recently wanted to create a more immersive viewing experience of my 3D designs by inserting holographic image blocks as an embed in a PublishOnline document (if you haven't seen this excellent technology you should check out "LookingGlass" https://blocks.glass/).
While testing this out I've run into a problem with the publishing of the document. Using the "Object/Insert HTML" and pasting the Image Block's embed code:
<div class="lkg-blocks-player" style="padding:133.333% 0 0 0;position:relative;"><iframe src="https://blocks.glass/embed/3450" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media; xr-spatial-tracking; accelerometer; gyroscope; magnetometer" allowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true" execution-while-out-of-viewport="true" execution-while-not-rendered="true"></iframe></div>
everything works great while in Indesign (screenshot of the…

Character control panel is cut off
The Character panel is currently cut off, so I can't change the font easily like I want to. I restarted InDesign as well as my computer but so far no luck.

Shift+Enter (Num-Pad) no longer opens a file with options
Up to InDesign 2022 one had the possibility to open/place a file with additional options by hitting Shift+Enter (NumPad), instead of checking the box "open with options". Shift+Click on Open still works.

addidtionl layer(s) are invisible in embedded INDD
The objects on layers except the main layer are invisible if you place the indd document in another indd document. If you move the object to the main layer and refresh the link they are visible again. PDF export is not effected by this.

Typesetting changes on paragraphs that are not touched
while working on texts - like doing corrections or micro typopraphy – InDesign changes the line breaks to other paragraphs that I am not working on.
On the same page, but when I work on details sometimes I zoom and do not see that things are changing. This often causes changes to several pages and I need to fix everything back!1 vote -

Graphics glitches galore on M1 MacBook Air + external 4K monitor
InDesign 17 on an M1 MacBook Air with Big Sur is barely usable with an external 4K monitor. There are graphic artifacts everywhere, especially near the margins/edge of boxes which makes it hard to know if anything is aligned properly. Everything looks okay on the laptop's built-in display but is distorted on the external.
Also, when scrolling, the screen updates sporadically and usually does the Windows 95-looking stuck window effect.
If I turn off the GPU it looks better when working statically but when scrolling it is even worse.

Object effects not scaling when using numeric adjustment
When I scale an object using the actual size of the object, say I have a rectangle 40x40mm with a stroke size of 4 point, and I increase the size to say 80x80mm the stroke still stays at 4 points. This also applies to effects that I have given the object, like a drop shadow. All the effects are not scaled if I scale the object numerically. No matter which panel I use and of course the transformation panel is marked to scale strokes and effects. The effects do scale if I scale it by percentage like they should.

Publish Online thicker navigation arrows - option to turn OFF
The hard coded previous/next page arrows are noticeably thicker and can spoil some designs and therefore the user experience. Can we have an option to turn them OFF.
Ajar In5 already has this. Seems like a simple enough option?

Publish Online documents have become very slow to load
Since the dashboard update, analytics 'since published' will NOT load.
We're also noticing publish online documents are very slow to load initially.
I'm presuming this is all server side issues at Adobe and would like to know if its being fixed.
Are you forcing browsers to cache online publications before loading?
These are both major issues that might force us to see alternative solutions if not fixed soon.

Quick Action 'edit with' not working with creative cloud files
Normally I can quickly edit the placed PSD-files in Photoshop with option-click. But with the PSDC-files this option no longer works. From the Quick Options menu there are no apps under the 'edit with' menu. If the files are on the computer, it works fine.
Will this option also be available for PSD files that are in the Creative Cloud?1 vote -
