Edit Original no longer automatically updates the placed file
- 18.2.1 x64 on Windows 10 Pro
- Using the Place command, place a PDF form in my InDesign document. Open the links panel, select that link, and choose the Edit Original icon. Once the PDF is opened in Acrobat, make the change to the form, save and close the PDF. Go back to InDesign
- In the past, when I made edits to a PDF using the Edit Original option, once I saved and closed the PDF in Acrobat, the link would be automatically updated in InDesign (which makes sense, as why would I open a file through the Edit Original link…

text box link
This is a bug affecting my Windows 10 version (18.3 x64) that has been happening for the last week or so, presumably with the latest update. Text box links will break for no reason leaving the content displayed in each text box as its new content. I actually watched it break the connection between the text boxes while I was doing nothing to my document.

nonprinting text boxes disappear in normal view. Create a text box and type text into it. Select Window/Output/Attributes, and tick the box.
InDesign 18.2.1, Mac Mini Apple M2 Pro, Ventura 13.3.1 (a). Create a text box in Normal View and type text into it. Select the box, then Window/Output/Attributes, and tick Nonprinting. The text box on the page becomes invisible, although you can still select it if you know where it is. What should happen is that the box and text remain visibile but do not print. This makes the nonprinting feature useless. This was OK in my last version of InDesign, CS6 on a PC.

Major Bugs Lately in InDesign
I have noticed some major issues with InDesign lately. Today I uninstalled InDesign completely and reinstalled it, but I am still having some problems. My computer is barely a year old, MacBook Pro, so it shouldn't be a computer/power issue.
The first thing I noticed was duplicate pages appearing in a long document I was working on. I deleted the "extra" pages and continued working on the document until I realized now I didn't have those pages at all! So I had to go back and add them back in all over again and reformat everything and add in hyperlinks.…

Variable font changes to Italic when a custom axis value is set, without user input. Also, the Italic axis cannot be controlled.
This may be related to a somewhat similar Illustrator bug:
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/46249144-variable-font-changesSummary:
1. Variable fonts that have separate but related roman/italic font files are handled badly by InDesign (and Illustrator). In InDesign, if you set a custom axis value such as Weight or Optical Size, the font changes to Italic immediately. This issue occurs in fonts such as Roboto Serif and Apple SF Pro, which are well-tested, popular, and important by many measures. It also occurs in fonts that have internal data that is known to be good, at least as far as FontBakery testing shows. It doesn’t occur in…3 votes -
Duplicated page removes some character styles
Duplicating a page removed some character styles in my document. Only on half the page though.
Super weird bug, tbh.
Your site does not allow uploading indesign files (!) but I can supply it upon request.
It'd be better if that were not a public upload :)

some of the objects seems to be missing although they are appearing on the page
some of the objects seems to be missing although they are appearing on the page. you can see them only if you press - select all, but can't select separately.
But when I create a pdf file all the "missing" objects appears on the page. It's a big and complex file of about 70 pages.

Links panel doesn't honor Section prefix
- 18.2.1 x64 Windows 10
- Using the pages panel dropdown menu, select "Numbering & Section Options" and then use the flyout to start a new section with page numbering starting at 1 and adding a section prefix. Select the "Include Prefix when Numbering Pages" option. Make a change to something that has been placed on one of the pages that includes a Section prefix. The links panel will show that one of your links needs to be updated, but it will show that the link is located on a page number without the prefix. Clicking on the page number takes you…

Information panel not usable
I use Indesign 18.3 on MSI CreatorPro X17 W11 (last version) PC and the Information panel is not usable. The panel is far to big, and not movable !!!!
The monitor setup is 3840x2160 with zoom factor of 225%.
It seems the zoom factor is appied to the text but NOT to the Information panel size. The app and other panels are OK.
I reset completely the caches and personal parameters, nothing helps.1 vote -
Multiple cross-references for same index entry are not in alphabetical order
When multiple index cross-references ('See' and 'See also' references) are added under an index entry, they are listed in the order they are added, and not in alphabetical order, as they should be. Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the order afterwards. The only way is to add the cross-references in alphabetical order from the beginning.

Shuts down without any error message
Adobe Indesign v 18.2.1 on Windows 11
The app just decides to close by its own at somepoint during the work, without any error message.
If you open the same file again, it closes again when you repeat your last action.
I tried saving it with another name, close the app, restart the notebook, and it keeps heappening.
I tried starting a new file, it keeps heappening. At some point it just closes without any error message.
I tried opening the same files at another computer (also v. 18.2.1 on win 11), with another adobe account, it keeps heappening

Adjust Layout Moves Locked Guides when "Adjust Locked Content" Option is Disabled
Locked guides that overlap the page margins move when using Adjust Layout while "Adjust Locked Content" is unchecked.
Expected behavior: Locked guides shouldn't move when using Adjust Layout unless "Adjust Locked Content" is checked. Unlocked guides should move regardless of the option being checked.
Steps to reproduce:
Add ruler guides to a page that overlap the page margins
Lock guides "View > Grids & Guides > Lock Guides"
Open "Layout > Margins & Columns"
Enable "Adjust Layout" and uncheck "Adjust Locked Content"
Increase or decrease the size of a margin that overlaps the guideI haven't found any workaround for…
