cells selection
Bug 1:
See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.
Make a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.
Merge the first 2 cells of the first row.
Now you have 2 cells in the first row. (A and B).
Set the contents of other cells to C, D, E, F, G, H.
Now select cells B, D and E.
If you click on the Edit menu, InDesign crash.
If you choose File -> Export, InDesign crash.

Slow creation of PDF low-res
In addition to the problem I posted regarding a conflict between ID and Windows 11, I did resolve that by moving to an earlier release of ID. However, the creation of the low-res PDF now consumed the time it normally takes to produce a high-res print-ready export. Something is going on with ID 17.1.

Chinese character page number rule needs to following Chinese grammar
Chinese page number grammar after 10 is not following Chinese grammar.
For example, page 21 in Chinese is written as 第二十一页, instead of 第二一页.It's horrifying seeing Chinese is been butched likt this.

uneven / unlevel pages side by side in spread
2 uneven pages left right 16, 17 in a document of 64 pages in spread of same double master page spread.
only 2 in whole doc.
mac os x mojave 10.14.6 indesign cc 16.01 (adobe rep told me this is the only version that works w/mojave and my late 2015 imac 5k)
i finally resolved by adding 2 new blank pages ahead of those 2, (applied master), copy pasting the content to those 2 new pages (singe spread), then deleting the original wonky pages.I didn't want to take a chance the spread was transmitted wrong to the printer even…

Shared CC Library
The WHOLE purpose of a "SHARED CC LIBRARY" is to be able to keep a single and universal source of truth for EVERY element within the library across all uses of the element – on all files.
There is an issue achieving this.
When I add an illustrator file to the CC Shared Library from within Indesign, and I go to edit that element, it:
Opens a new InDesign file, where you can make the change,
save the change, and the change is displayed on the thumbnail of the shared element, and does in fact update the shared element.HOWEVER....

Accessibility square bullet issue
Document is set up following Accessibility guidelines, but instead of round bullets, we used square ones, colored red. All set up correctly using paragraph/character styles. When we use the read out loud voice in Acrobat, it reads "Black Square". A quick search found others with the same issue, with no work around. I should be able to define the square as a bullet, so that Acrobat would know, but even though the bullet is set up in character styles, the reader doesn't see it that way... and it gets the color wrong... though I'd rather it read simply "Bullet."

Creating a new Cross Reference - Automatic select [All Paragraphs]
When creating a new Cross Reference entry, the windows that pop automatically pick [All Paragraphs] and in document with many table or lots of text frame, this can take very, very.... long time before the window popup.
This was introduced with CC 18.1 and is still the case up to now with CC22 (17.1).
It was ok with CC20017.
I have been reporting this behavior since April 2019 and for each release.

Publication Analytics
We need reliable analytics on epublished documents to show to our clients. Over time we update the documents and for some mysterious reason the "Originally Published" date is wrong. How am I supposed to know if the numbers are from the update I made a week ago or or from our first publishing last september. And no... There are no dublicates of that document.

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…

language quote typographer
I create epubs which contain different languages so need the language correctly attributed on xhtml files after exporting –
selecting different languages in different paragraph styles affects typographer's (curly) quotes/straight quotes – I'd expect the to follow the app preferences setting –
Advanced Character Formats > Language > [No Language] = gives straight quotes
Advanced Character Formats > Language > English: UK = gives typographer's quotes (curly)
Advanced Character Formats > Language > cy_GB = Welsh = gives straight quotes

Workspace disappear when opening some files
I am currently on the latest version of ID (17.1) on a PC. I noticed that on a number of occasions, when double clicking an ID file (while ID is initially closed) it launches to a screen without any panels. Only the top menu is available. Checking the Workspaces options, it shows that non of the workspaces is chosen. Only when selecting any workspace that panels appear.
Not sure if this is a bug or if I am missing a particular setting that would have it default to a particular workspace.
Any assistance will be very much appreciated.2 votes -
Indesign 2022 (17.1.0.50) IDLK file does not lock
This problem was recently flagged as resolved, but despite the newest InDesign and MacOS versions it is still possible for two users to open the same Indesign file. We are working on a network volume over SMB and it is possible for my colleague to open the same file I am working with. The *.idlk file was generated by the first user, but it is not recognized by the second Indesign user and sometimes subsequently just disappears.
I also tried to reproduce this issue with Indesign 2020 but all worked just as expected.

InDesign 17.1 generating enormous PDF
I am a book designer and have been using InDesign for years. Just upgraded to 17.1 and finding its exporting massive PDF of a simple text file (60 page novel - no images, no colour, no charts, no graphics...just black text on a white page). I cant get it below 18mb using 'Smallest File Size' which is ridiculous. Previously this would have been 1 to 2 mb. Can you fix this please?

Review: Previous feedback is no longer displayed in previous file version
Previous feedback is no longer displayed in previous file version! This is extremely tedious when checking the files, because even if you make a copy of the file and assign a new review link to it, your colleagues cannot compare the corrections with their comments. Likewise, I cannot check whether I have received the feedback with the subsequently marked errors and thus adopted them.

인디자인 밑줄 기능에서, 밑줄 색깔을 정할 때
현재 인디자인 기능이서
밑줄 의 색깔을 넣어주는 기능에,
메뉴의 아이콘을 클력해서 들어가는 간단한 경로로도
밑줄 색갈을 정할 수 있도록 ,
기능을 추가해 주시면 좋겠습니다.
일일이 복잡한 경로로 들어가는 방법도 한가지 방법이고,
아주 직관적으로 들어갈 수 있는 방법도
있으면,
사용자가 사용하기 편한 방법대로,
찾아서 사용할 수 있도록 만들어 주시면 좋겠습니다.
고맙습니다.

links buttons causes crash
Adobe InDesign 2022 ver 17.1
Trying to fix a link but when I hit the links button, the whole program crashes. Sent a report every time.
Have rebooted computer, restarted computer, uninstalled/reinstalled InDesign with no luck.
It just shuts down and wants to send a report. I have tried to recover, not recover, and cancel. Still no resolution.1 vote -
Cross reference broken by InCopy
A text element with cross references is added to an InCopy assignment. (The cross reference utilises the paragraph number - just in case, this should be important.)
After editing any text (not part of the cross reference source itself or the target paragraph) in InCopy, the cross reference is broken in InDesign. Same, if you change the target paragraph.
This happens in InDesign/InCopy 16.4 as well as 17.13 votes -
Persistent Spinning Beachball
I am using InDesign 2022 v. 17.1. I get a spinning beachball that lasts for six seconds each time I click. Opening a file or switching between InDesign and another program results in a much longer beachball. Several minutes after the document is open, the beachball becomes permanent and the program becomes unresponsive.
