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 -
Nothing changed, but InDesigns asks for saving changes
When opening an object, doing nothing (or just print) and closing it, InDesign comes up with a dialog to save changes. That feels very uncomfortable - did I change something by accident?
PS Pressing cmd-S for save brings up the Save As... dialog.

Gradient palette window is cutting off -- Show Options turned on
Gradient palette not fully expanding after clicking "Show Options". Everything below the Reverse Gradient option is cut off and there's no way to expand the palette window to make edits to gradient bar. See attachment.
Tried restarting computer and made sure InDesign is up to date (18.2.1)
I should also note that this is an issue on multiple computers.

Window Resizing Bug
InDesign 18.2.1 on MacOS 12.3.1 (have been having the same issue for the past few ID updates)
When application frame is turned off so that document windows float, document windows cannot be resized as expected. When dragging one edge, other sides of the window resize themselves – example .mov attached.

Workspace not loading on open in 2023
So, today's thing that's broken is when I boot up indesign for the first time of the day all my panels and toolbars are missing. Selecting my workspace doesn't bring them back, I have to select a different workspace, then select mine to bring them back. Does anyone at adobe actually care about Indesign any more? This app has been riddled with bugs now for around 4 years - stuff that's been flagged up years ago still not fixed, like the graphics streaking across the page causing objects to disappear for example

Pages panel thumbnail resolution
When InDesign 2022 (17.0) came out, the resolution of the thumbnails in the Pages panel was lowered, even with Display Performance set to High Quality Display. It's not just the greeking of the text. I can see the pixels themselves.
This forces me to still have to use InDesign 2021 so that I can see the contents of the pages in the thumbnails.
Screenshots posted for comparison.

Cursor continually freezes, Indesign auto shortens swatches pane
Glitch happens at random intervals, but so frequently that it's becoming maddening. Right now it's happening every 30 seconds to a minute, seriously F'ng my workflow today.
M1 MacBook Pro, occurs whether I'm using my Wacom tablet (often I blame this first). It seemed to have happened after the last updated, along with an accompanying issue where I have to continually reset my workspace if I disconnect/connect to an external monitor. If I don't reset my workspace, Indesign refuses to show any tool panels.
See attached video.

Presentation mode InDesign resizes window bug (Mac OS Ventura)
Hello, there is a annoying bug, that drives me crazy.
If you setup the UI-size to position 1 in the preferences, InDesign can’t remembers the window size correctly (see. video).
When I’m in the presentation mode (shift w) and after I left it, the app window of InDesign is resizing small (or another wrong size).
If you change the UI-size back to position 2 (standard setting) this bug doesn’t happening. I checkt it again and again.And it only happens when the two 27" 4K displays are connected.
I’m working on a MacBook Pro 16" M1 Pro in MacOS Ventura.…

system prompts glitch out and bug the program
So, sometimes when I get a prompt, that might be rare I got it once for now but still wanted to share it, so when I get a prompt sometimes, like a system prompt from Indesign like those ones that say some warning and have an ok button(basically a dialog box) so when I get a dialog box it glitches out, disappears but stays active and not clicked and thus you can't do anything in the program because the dialog is in focus so naturally until you click it all the options in the program are greyed out(almost all) including…

Inconsistent names of spaces in Czech UI
There is a mess in the names of spaces in Czech UI. The names of spaces are not consistent:
Em Space = "Em mezera" or "Dlouhá mezera"
En Space = "En mezera" or "Krátká mezera"
Nonbreaking Space = "Pevná mezera" or "Nedělitelná mezera"Depending on the situation, the user sees either one or the other name for an identical space.
I suggest to:
1. Use "En mezera" and "Em mezera" only. It is not the traditional Czech name, it is an Anglicism, but quite widespread and understandable
2. Use "Čtverčíková mezera" and "Půlčtverčíková mezera", the traditional typographic terms, nevertheless some…3 votes -
Palette management is a nightmare. What happened?
M1 Macbook Pro connected to dual displays. Adobe user for 20+ years.
There seems to be no hope for palettes and window positions on Mac OS. I run multiple resolutions at different times based on the displays that are in use. Adobe apps are simply unable to maintain any palette and window locations. The application window moves to half the screen. The documents become dislodged from overall application frame. Palettes "jump" when I move them.
As a user I understand that I have a responsibility to manage my settings, but after repeatedly resetting workspaces and trying to re-arrange palettes. I…

Bottom toolbar/scroll bar dissapears when in fullscreen mode
At first i thought it was my monitors, but it also does it when I have InDesign open on my laptop. I'm running the latest Microsoft update, and when I select Fullscreen on the InDesign window, the bottom bar disappears, so I'm unable to use the bottom scrollbar. It only re-appears when i minimize the window

Won't let me scale gradient panel up/down
Indesign won't allow me to scale the gradient panel up or down, it is stuck at a constant size which makes it hard/impossible to work with complicated gradients. The issue doesn't appear to be on any other panel that i'm using.

different color appearance of different files of same settings and colors when both windows are open and change by mouse over
Two documents with the same settings. The same graphic in these documents appear differently in each document. But the appearance of the colors change by mouse over to look alike the colors in the other document. Both windows of the documents are opened at the same time. It must be a bug in the software.

Layer selection window size in import options
When importing a .psd or .ai file, the layers selection window is ridiculously small (you can only view 4 layers at a time), making it a real pain to select layers on a big file. Please, at least make it resizeable.

%-Sliders not working properly anymore when palette attached to the right edge
InDesign 17.2 / 17.4: Ever since these two releases came out, I am not able to use my palettes when they are attached to the right edge of my workspace. Example: I want an item in 76 % magenta. I select the item, click ”effects" (Effekte for me, since my default language is German), then choose magenta. Finally I want to slide the percentage to 76. As soon as I touch the slider, the tool disappears. This happens to sliders as in Colors and Transparency, and only if the tools are arranged in a list view in the sidebar. Setting…
