InDesign does not appear in Windows Task Manager when restarted after a crash
When InDesign freezes or crashes (which happens pretty frequently), I go to Windows Task Manager and end the task. When I reopen InDesign, InDesign does open and has the autosaves of all my ID documents open, but InDesign does not appear in Windows Task Manager at all.
This is a problem because usually whatever caused InDesign to freeze/hang the first time will occur again very quickly, but this time I can't end the task. Nor can I end the task if anything else goes wrong. The only way to fix this is to restart the computer to force all applications…

Ctrl-0 then paste no longer quite centres
It appears the latest version doesn't quite centre when doing the normal 'cut object > ctrl/cmd-0 to centre and fill the page on the viewport > paste'. On a 210mm x 280mm layout it's giving a centre co-ordinate of 105.112mm x 140.112mm rather than 105mm x 140mm.

Bug: Indesign randomly doesn't save
System: Windows 19, Indesign 17.1
Steps to reproduce (though the trigger of this problem isn't known):
1. Open a file, change something. The asterisk next to the file name marks there are unsaved changes.
2. Hit Ctrl+s, then Ctrl+w to close. It will ask you to save again.
3. Cancel that requester and hit Ctrl+s again, plus Ctrl+w. The same.
4. Cancel again, then use the menu entry "Save", then hit Ctrl+w. Same story.The asterisk remains and ID also doesn't lock as it usually does when saving (I'm not network, saving files take a few seconds). In this situation…

CC library issues - errors importing and no browser sync
I am using Adobe Cloud v17.3 and have 2 related issues:
When I try to import a CC library, it doesn't fully import. Only a few items appear.
This library has been successfully imported on other occasions, so I am confused.I have built another CC library within my InDesign environment. When I try to view it online, it says that I don't have any libraries?!

Strange blanks – personalization
I have a table that I use for data merge. There are empty cells in it: an academic title that not everyone has
Example
Salutation: Dear
Academic title: Dr.
Last name: MillerI I only have one text field, which makes things difficult for personalization for people who don't have an academic title:
" <<Salutation>> <<Academic Title>> <<Surname>> " --> " Dear Dr. Miller"
In the place where the academic title should be, these blanks appear, which can only be removed manually. With a list of 1,000 invitations, this is an enormous amount of time.
Via Search/Replace I cannot find…

Mark positioning (GPOS) went wrong for text on path
Khmer rendering has been working well on most of the Adobe products. InDesign is one of them, especially after the fix: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/36534535-khmer-script-justification-is-broken.
However, I've just noticed that there is another bug with GPOS for Khmer (or maybe other scripts), when the text is on a path.

There does not seem to be a way to activate the Japanese Paragraph composer in the English version of InDesign
I am an native English speaker and use InDesign primarily in English. I sometimes have projects in other languages; i actually read a fair bit of Japanese and noticed that the lines were breaking even wtih World-ready paragraph composer turned on. I then learned that InDesign has both Japanese paragraph and single-line composers, whhich appear to be accessible in PREFERENCES under Advanced Type, but this does not seem to do anything I need done with the text.
i was told I must install the Japanese language version of InDesign to apply this feature. It would be wonderful if that would…

InDesign display shift problems
- Version: InD 17.3 x64, in Windows 10 Enterprise, Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-10885M CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz, 128GB RAM. I'm halfway wondering if having the system's display scaling set to 125% is disagreeing with the InD app....
- Steps causing issue: Make edits on a page with text frames and placed graphics.
- Expectation: Layout items render normally.
- Result: Sections of layout display shift by several pixels, creating broken display of layout. Uploading mild examples (part of top edge of graphic has shifted; section of edges of frames has shifted). Often lines of text are half cut off by the effect. Can happen…

Multiple line hyperlinks tab out of order when exported to PDF.
Hi there. For whatever reason, when I have hyperlinks that wrap to a new line in InDesign, Acrobat tabs through them in the reverse order when exported as a PDF. Here is an example:
[Let's say this sentence is a hyperlink that
has wrapped to a new line.]When exported to a PDF, the tab order starts at [has wrapped to a new line.] then tabs to [Let's say this sentence is a hyperlink that]. And it continues that method throughout the piece. This is with tabbing set to document structure. If I set the tabbing method to "row", it…

Font disappears when size of text is changed
When working in a text box and changing the size of the font, the text disappears altogether. If I change the font to a different one, the text reappears, then change font back to the one I used originally and text disappears again. (For example: changed font from default myriad pro to Ultra--text still showing; changed font size--text disappears; change font to Roboto (or anything else)--text reappears.)
No matter position of text box, size of box, size of font, changing to overprint view, nothing makes the text reappear except changing the font to something else. Font/text is also missing when…2 votes -
ID 2020 15.1 - All text variables (including page numbers) replaced by "ss" text
Just updated to ID 2020 15.1 and found a bug which makes the program unusable forcing me to immediately downgrade.
When I open on of my ID documents created in previous version of ID, all of my defined text variables as well as page numbers are corrupted and replaced by the "ss" text. Changing the style has no effect. I can create page number based on the 'Basic Paragraph' style but when i choose any other previously created style, the number changes to 'ss'.
Even the variable field preview shows 'ss' text instead of variable name.
The same document opens…-

High resolutiom
DEAR ADOBE!
I have a problem with Indesign that can not display images in high-resolution-mode.
All pictures turn black and striped. The problem started after upgrading to Monteray 12.4
I have already been in contact with your support via chat for two hours.
It looked promising, but when they then restarted my computer via remote control,
I lost contact with you and have not been able to give feedback since.
I am VERY disappointed and want help with this as soon as possible with someone who speaks
Swedish. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE / MARIA1 vote -

Share for Review strikethrough & highlight from online edits aren't visible in InDesign
InDesign Vs. 16 Share for Review: if the reviewer uses the strikethrough text or highlight option, I don't see these in my indesign doc. I can see the strikethrough text on the browser version, but the highlight disppears completely. The review comment is in both places, just not what it's referencing.
