1. frame background showing behind polygon that's been pasted into it

   Indesign v18.4

   Steps:
   - make a rectangular frame, give it a background color
   - make a polygon the same color as the page background, that intersects the edge of the frame
   - cut and paste-into the polygon into the frame

   Expected
   the combination perfectly simulates the appearance of subtracting the polygon from the rectangular frame, but in a way that preserves editability.

   Actual
   works imperfectly: a tiny sliver of the background is visible on the edge of the rectangular frame. this very thin line gets thickened by the "enhance thin lines" function on adobe reader (but is still visible without it, if you zoom in). that's a problem because I can't exactly go ask my end audience to go turn that off for optimal viewing.

   screenshots
   first shows the paths of the frame and the polygon, second shows end result: a thin line visible where it shouldn't be that persists when exporting to pdf.

2. Metadata, text variables in Indesign

   Indesign don't insert Metadata (XMP) from the orioginal images downloaded from stock.adobe.com (as text variable); the downloaded image has to open in Photoshop and to »Save as«. Then the XMP-Metadata could be read by Indesign (as text variable).

3. Page tool causes layout shifts on parent pages

   When the Page Tool is used to resize parent (master) pages, unwanted shifts of page items may occur. These can occur directly in the document or also after an IDML export. Whereby with the IDML export the order of the sample pages plays a role

   Concrete example: When the right bottom corner of the Page Tool is selected and the page size is changed, a position mismatch occurs on the inherited master page.

   It is expected that on master pages of the same size the position of objects and inherited object is the same.

   This does not occur if the upper left corner of the Page tool is used when resizing.

   You can see this also in the different matixes of the inner coordinate system of the master pages.

   Resize master page in UI – top left corner selected:
   app.activeDocument.masterSpreads[0].pages[0].resolve(AnchorPoint.TOPLEFTANCHOR,CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES)[0];
   › 0.0

   Resize master page in UI – bottom right corner selected:
   app.activeDocument.masterSpreads[0].pages[0].resolve(AnchorPoint.TOPLEFTANCHOR,CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES)[0];
   › 28.3464566929137.48.1889763764252

   After the IDML export, guides are also partially displaced. See attached screenshots. Whereby here also the order of the sample pages in the page panel plays a role, thus:

   Page Panel

   A-Master Page
   B-Master Page

   or

   B-Master Page
   A-Master Page

   non of my short cuts are working. I cannot resize an object and its frame at the same time, I cannot resize an image holding shift to keep it the same shape. Spacebar to move, option to duplicate, everything. none of it working. this is a brand new computer, installed InDesign, and the shortcuts have not worked at all.

   instead of normal number order

6. Black Backgrounds When Copying PNG from Web to Indesign (Return of Bug)

   This is a recurring bug that was solved in a few past updates, but, it's back in InDesign V. 18.5.

   When you copy a transparent background PNG from Google Images (or any website) and paste it into InDesign, it will display a black box as the background.

   If you paste the same image into Photoshop, copy that, paste it into InDesign, it will not show the black background.

   This was working 100% flawlessly over the last year, but, is now broken in this new version on multiple Macs. Tried different browsers. Reset preferences, same issue.

   This was a bug that has come up multiple times over the years, and seemingly was solved for quite awhile, until now upon its return.

7. Datamerge QR-code cannot be colored

   When performing a datamerge, the generated QR-codes are black (C0 M0 Y0 K100) and cannot be set to another color prior to merging. This video shows the issue (and complex workaround).

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. set up a datamerge with a qr-code field in data source.
   2. try to color the QR-code any color not black (eg. using Object > Edit QR-Code > Color)
   3. execute datamerge

   Actual result:
   All QR-codes are black.

   Expected result:
   To set the color of the QR-code placeholder the same as a normal QR-code, and for the QR-codes to be colored after the merging.

8. Display glitch when Placing multiple images

   Adobe Indesign 2023 and prior.

   When several large images are selected in the 'place' dialog box to place one after another, the first image often does not display the green guide arrows for matching existing object sizes. Subsequent images in that set do, but these often display the preview for the image just placed rather than the image currently loaded.

9. Nach jedem update gehen Verknüpfungen verloren

   Es ist ein Graus! Seit ewigen Zeiten gehen nach jedem Update (aktuell 18.4) in jedem Dokument jegliche Verknüpfungen verloren. Gerade bei umfangreichen Dokumenten, die Verknüpfungen aus vielen verschiedenen Ordnern enthalten, ist das schier untragbar! Dieser Arbeitsaufwand ist nicht nur zeitintensive, sondern auch nervenaufreibend, und müsste in meinen Augen auch programmiertechnisch behoben werden.

10. Align panel issues

    I'm using v 18.3 on mac.

    My align panel isn't completely viewable and looks different that it ever has before. The normal options are gone. Also, in the top toolbar, the align tools only show up when I try to align objects. The tools don't appear when I attempt to align text boxes.

    I've attached a screenshot showing how the toolbar has always looked when I've selected assets to align, one showing how those options are gone unless I'm aligning objects, and a final one of the align panel. This has been very frustrating.

11. Gros bug d'affichage

    Bonjour, j'ai un bug d'affichage intermittent sous InDesign que je constate depuis plusieurs versions (depuis au moins fin 2021) : lorsque j'appuie sur "w" pour passer du mode de l'écran "Normal" au mode de l'écran "Aperçu", j'ai parfois des aberrations graphiques qui m'empêchent de voir correctement la double-page et qui persistent jusqu'à ce que je revienne en mode "Normal".

12. Object Layer Options is broken in v18.3

    When turning off a layer in a placed PSD file with "Object Layer Options", other layers in the PSD are also turned off, even though their respective visibility icons indicate they are showing.

    See the attached file. The "Gradient Map 100" layer makes the image purple. However, when hiding the "Generative Layer 1" layer, the effect of the former layer is broken.

14. Default Relink Folder not honored

    1. InDesign 18.2.1 x 64 on a Windows 10 Pro machine
    2. a. In my preferences, I have set the Default Relink Folder to Original Link Folder. 2b. I have a document that includes a linked image. I move the linked image out of the folder where the link is pointing, and add a replacement image to that folder. Use the links panel to relink the missing image.
    3. I expect that when I click on the relink icon that I will be directed to the folder where the image used to be stored. Then I can easily link to the replacement image that I have placed in my folder.
    4. Instead, when I click the relink icon, I am directed to a folder that includes images that I used while working on a different InDesign document earlier in the day. Then I have to manually find the location where the replacement image is stored.

15. Edit Original no longer automatically updates the placed file

    1. 18.2.1 x64 on Windows 10 Pro
    2. 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
    3. 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 in InDesign, unless I wanted to update the linked document?)
    4. Now, when I follow the process above, and then return to InDesign, the link shows as Modified, and I need to manually choose the Update Link icon at the bottom of the Links window

16. 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.
    How can i fix it?

18. Placed SVG bounding box not correctly sized to viewbox/clipping path

    When placing an SVG file in an InDesign document, the object's bounding box does not match the actual extent of the SVG file correctly. There are two issues I have noticed:

    1. When elements extend beyond the SVG's viewbox, InDesign incorrectly sets the bounding box of the asset at the full extent of those elements. This occurs even if those elements are contained within a clipping path (as defined within the SVG – not referring to ID's built-in clipping path feature).

    2. Placed SVGs seem to self-crop about 1px from the edges of the viewbox. Consequently the bounding box has a 1px inset border of transparency, after which the SVG contents are visible.

20. Screen Draws Bizarre Patterns

    This has been happening for the past several versions. Im using ID 2023 on a 27" 2019 31. Mhz iMac with 64GB. It runs a Raedon Pro 575X 4GB.

    While I am moving the document, sometimes these bizarre dark patterns form. Sometimes it happens when just an item is moved on the document. But it appears to be random. Scrolling off the page and back onto it seems to solve it.

    This only happens in InDesign. None of the other Adobe apps or other graphic apps have this issue. So it leads me to believe it is not the video card, but one specific program.

    I also own an M1 Mac Mini which runs the exact same software...but has no such issues. I keep hoping an update will fix this but it remains for the past two years...
