18.5 crash on exit
Ever since updating to 18.5, InDesign hangs on exit (by clicking the x in the top right or exit from menu) and I have to force quit the process in task manager.
I have gone back to 18.4 until this issue is resolved.

Indesign v 18.0 will not open on 16" Macbook pro
Every time I try to open Adobe InDesign it blows out and won't open.
If I delete all preferences it will open. ONCE. I tried launching it in safe mode and that didn't work either. This is a brand new install of an Ventura 16" Macbook Pro M1 Pro Max chip.
I uninstalled and then reinstalled the software. Did not help.
I deleted all the preferences. Opened once. Quit the software, wouldn't open again.
Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Bridge all work fine. InDesign does not.

launch failure
Indesign 2023 (version 18.5)
Running on Mac OS Ventura (13.1)Indesign fails to launch. Whether clicking the application icon through finder or from the Creative Cloud window. The app starts loading, then after scanning for plugins it instantly closes with no crash report. I was able to launch after uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling Indesign version 18 but after closing the program once, the problem returned and I had to repeat the above. This method is not acceptable for daily use.

InDesign won't quit
Since the update to v18.5, InDesign won't quit after working on a document. If I simply just open the program and won't open or create any document, it closes perfectly. But once a document is created or opened, the program itself won't quit afterwards and just sits/hangs there requiring force quit.
Resetting the preferences and dumping the caches didn't help either. Running Win 11 Pro x64. Nothing else is changed except ID got updated yesterday to v18.5.
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall because it's not a 'major' issue - just posting here so it's known and hopefully they…

Indesign CC 2023 Freezes/Crashes on Noto Sans (Google Fonts)
Even in the 2023 version of InDesign, using the following complex characters, Noto Sans Font, and Adobe World-Ready paragraph composer can cause the Indesign to crash or freeze. The list might be few more. Nothing wrong found in the fonts, only Indesign crashes. If use other fonts these characters are ok in Indesign.
Word file attached. Place this in Indesign and see the results.

Crashes on "Object Layer Options" for an AI file in a table
I'm using v18.4 (x64) on Windows 11 Pro, v22H2.
I have a two-layer vector graphic created in Illustrator (current version) placed in a table cell. If I select the graphic and then select "Object layer options," the correct dialog appears. But when I click on the visibility "eyeball" on either of the layers, InDesign immediately vanishes, having crashed.
This is repeatable.

18.4 crashes on splash screen. Have to rebuild preferences
Updated to 18.4 and now have to rebuild my preferences file each time I want to start InDesign. If I don't it crashes within milliseconds of the splash screen appearing. The splash screen appears momentarily, goes away and the programme doesn't load. I don't get a crash report as the programme never loads.
Seems to work OK once I've rebuilt the preferences but I have to do it EVERY time I launch InDesign. It is annoying.
I'm using InDesign 18.4 and iMac running Ventura 13.1.

InDesign hangs for minutes when I/O for Document fonts is slow
Using version 18.2.1 and opening a document that has an associated "Document fonts" folder alongside, the app performs a lot of I/O on the main thread. If the fonts are on slower storage, the app will open the document, but the window is completely frozen, since all those I/O calls are performed on the main thread.
Note the attached traces: some calls are even performed twice for the same file. Can the CT calls be moved off the main thread?

Shift W - Window Resizing after exiting presenter mode
Upon exiting presenter mode (entered by pressing Shift+W, then exited with another press of Shift+W), the InDesign window/interface resizes dramatically and I'm having to resize and enlarge it every time which is really disruptive.
I'm using a late 2015 iMac running Catalina 10.15.7 (recently updated from Sierra), InDesign 18.4.
Have attached screenshots to show the resizing of the window.

Greyed out screen when I open InDesign
Help! I am desperate to figure out why this was happening. I recently cleaned out my computer library/cache to free up storage, then updated to InDesign 2023. For the past couple hours I keep getting this screen. Everything is updated, but I have no idea how to fix this.

Crash on pdf export
We do a lot of sometimes large presentations in Indesign that have other external Indesign documents in them, that pdf fine, yet when I add pages to them it crashes when I export and there's nothing I can do to fix it other than removing the pages I've added.

Indesign CC 2018 crashes while selecting the type tool or font option from type menu
I am running Adobe InDesign CC 2018 13.0 x64. Whenever I open a new document and select the type tool, InDesign crashes. Same thing happens while clicking font option from type menu. Also, any premade INDD/INDT files aren't opening, it crashes every time. I have reinstalled several times, trashed preferences but of no use. I am running a Windows 10 version 1909 64 bit with OS built 18363.1801.
