When copying text between InDesign documents, the Word order changes
When copying text between InDesign documents, the Word order changes
I have a textlbox with this content:
"22. DEZ - 03. JAN Weihnachtsferien Ende"I copy this block of text to the clipboard. Then I switch to another InDesign document and paste the text from the clipboard into it. In the target document, however, InDesign changes the order of the text components into a completely meaningless sequence
"JAN Weihnachtsferien Ende .03 - DEZ .22"I made another attempt with this text:
"Eins 6 Zwei 5 Drei 4 Vier 3 Fünf 2 Sechs 1"In the target document, InDesign turns it…

Display misalignment when dragging left and right.
When using Adobe InDesign, I encounter a display glitch whenever I pan left and right by holding down the spacebar, resulting in visual artifacts as shown in the screenshot. The display returns to normal after zooming with the Alt key, but the issue consistently reappears upon panning again.
I am running InDesign v20.5 (64-bit) on Windows 11.

incorrect work with layers
I have 2 layers in the template. On the first - various elements, which does not matter, on the second (top) - a group of text blocks. I put a lock on layer 1, remove the lock from layer #2 and ungroup the group of objects. They all jump from layer #2 to layer #1 and immediately become inaccessible, because that layer is locked!

error with image display
in a large brochure with a large number of images, some of them are not displayed in "Display Performsnce - Typical" mode - instead of the image, only a rectangle is visible. Moreover, in the "High quality display" mode, these images appear, and those that were displayed in the Typical mode, on the contrary, disappear. This all happens in the "normal" screen mode. In the preview screen mode, everything is displayed. (Display via the GPU is set)

Recursive packaging
That's a old problem for me : I link Illustrator / Photoshop files in Indesign, and these files can also have various links to various files. When I do a "package" in Indesign, it copies the links but not the links of links, and that often cause problems.
Can you make all the softwares capable of recursively package sub-links, and also check for doubles (because various links sometimes have links to the same sub-files).1 vote -
suggest an idea
InDesign would benefit from an option that allows Apply Next Style (or a Paragraph Style setting) to automatically detect the final paragraph in a contiguous sequence and then apply an alternate “last paragraph” style. This is especially useful for designs where a repeated list uses a separator — for example, in a “Materials and Tools” box where each item has a rule below, but the final item should appear without the rule.
At present, this requires manually applying a separate “last item” style to the final paragraph every time such a box is created. Giving InDesign the ability to recognise…

History panel erases undo option and history steps (behavior different from previous version) and
The history panel seems to be limited to 5 actions. Additionally, with the latest update (20.2), if you access the history panel at all, it overtakes the Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z function for undo/redo as it has worked in the past.
When the history panel is opened, it selects the most recent action. Even if the panel is closed, whatever is done after this point erases all the other actions, so that you are left with "open" as the previous step. Edit>Undo (Ctrl+Z) is disabled, and you can no longer undo work.
Additionally, steps will sometimes combine themselves without any user…

Bug Report: “Find/Change” Story Option Not Appearing
Hi Adobe Support Team,
I would like to report a bug in Adobe InDesign. When using the Find/Change command, even though I select Story in the selection area, the Story option does not appear in the Find section.
Currently, the only workaround I’ve found is to close and reopen InDesign, but the issue recurs every time. I can provide a screenshot to illustrate the problem if needed.
Please let me know how I can assist in resolving this issue.
Thank you.

Stuck on adding font, other background task get stuck in queue that never clears
Occasionally I open a document that tries to add fronts in background, it fails then the task is added to Background Tasks and hangs indefinitely. Then if I try to export a PDF, it is added to background tasks but will not progress until the fonts are added, which they never finish loading.

Conversion Process
I have ran into a bug twice now where InDesign is forcing me to run a conversion on my indd files and when it does it inserts a '/' symbol in a paragraph. Unfortunately this was not apparent and the typo went into 145 paperback copies.
