InDesign crashes when formatting footnotes
Formatting footnotes using InDesign 2022 v 17.1 causes severe lag and eventually the program seizes up and must be ended through task manager. Full details here:
The resolution to the issue was to roll back InDesign to 16.4.1, no such problems with that.
Sample files that caused the crash are here:

Script label changes not saved
With this post I would like to report a bug again.
When opening an existing document, selecting an object, adding a script label and saving it again, the changes are not saved! When also changing something else, all changes are saved.
When only adding a script label and saving a document, the script label will not be added.
This bug is more then 10 years old.
Please fix this. Thank you.

Acrolinx panel too narrow and can't be resized
Since I upgraded to InDesign 17, the Acrolinx sidebar is displayed at half the width it is supposed to be and can not be resized (see screenshot). It is completely useless this way.
With InDesign 16, everything is fine.
Running Windows 10 Enterprise. DELL notebook, DELL P2419H second monitor. All display settings on "recommended". Screenshot is from the notebook's internal monitor.1 vote -
PDF comments on footnotes import wrong
Whenever I receive PDF comments on footnote references, they import with the wrong position into InDesign.
In the attached screenshot you can see a delete/strikethrough comment on the footnote reference, yet after importing into InDesign it has moved to the glyph in front of the footnote reference. This needs to be fixed as it leads to errors, and forces me to check all the comment positions manually using Acrobat as InDesign cannot be trusted.
There are similar problems for bulleted/numbered lists (if the comment is placed on the bullet/number or at the end of a line).
Note: I've also seen…

text colour tint dropdown menu bug
Changing the text colour tint from 70% black to 100% black in Paragraph Styles crashes my M1 Mac mini 100% of the time.
Trying to manually change the text colour is not possible because when I click on the drop down menu for colour and tint in the control bar, the menu either doesn't appear at all, or appears for a few milliseconds and then disappears. I officially cannot work on my document now. What to do?!

Copying a URL Hyperlink auto formats to a opening another indesign file
I've been having URL hyperlinks that are copied Document A into Document B are auto format as a shared location that is Document A. But all I want is Document B to have the same hyperlinks, and nothing I've tried will prevent "shared destination" as being the default. All I wanted is the an image with a hyperlink to copy into Document B as a URL. Instead I have random InDesign documents opening without warning and then indesign crashes. I've ended up needing to delete all hyperlinks (attached to both text and images) and entirely reformat each one. Without accidently…

place file missing
I'm making a booklet identifying all 200 products for a client. I had been attempting to import 3-7 pdfs using the place function at a time. Show Import Options is on. Often one or two files will appear in the links list as if they were coming in with the others, but do not come up in the placing. They are in the links panel with no page number and no pasteboard indication. If I go back and place an item that has done this individually it will work. If I wasn't checking in each place that the "image file…

pdf export missing image
1- InDesign(17.0.1)
2- When importing this PDF file "Socredo.pdf" in an InDesign(17.0.1) magazine layout, then exporting it again in PDF, the upper background tatoo drawing disappears. This stays true even when trying different PDF export preferences.
3- The expected result would be to have the 2 pdfs identical visually
4- The file "105 Ecopol 2021-2022 Secteurs.pdf" is the actual result, with the missing upper tatoo background.

Share for Review - Public Recipients Still Can't Access Without Adobe Account
I'm using InDesign version 17.0.1. Using Share for Review, I was able to chose Public and send invitations. The recipients received the e-mail from Adobe, but if the recipient is on a computer without an Adobe account, when they click the button to access the file, it doesn't open - it will just spin for several minutes then display a File Preview Error . The instructions I have for Share for Review said that choosing Public would allow users without an Adobe account to access the file, but this does not seem to be the case. I first tested this…

scrolling causes screen distortion of document pages
Adobe Indesign 17.0.1 on a M1XMax 16" 2021 MacBook Pro. MacOS = 12.1
When scrolling through a document, the screen becomes distorted (per the attached video screen recording). The distortion becomes worse the more you scroll. Closing and re-opening the document is a (very) temporary fix but the distortion reappears almost immediately.
Theory: May be associated with using a 1x resolution on the screen display, rather than one of the 2x retina display resolutions.1 vote -
Type 1 error when opening InDesign file not reflected in Find/Replace Fonts window
I now regularly get a pop-up blue box error message regarding Type 1 fonts in the files I'm working in. Example: "Your document contains 6 Type 1 fonts." However, if I open Find/Replace Font dialoge, the summary at top of window says "Type 1 fonts : 0". That error message is annoying AND incorrect -- unless the Find/Replace Fonts window is incorrect. Can these be updated to align their messages?

wacom display
I just upgraded to a Wacom 32 tablet and am having this problem only in Indesign. There are random little grey squares all over the page - and not just the file window but the entire "artboard" area. Other apps are not doing this. I've tried zooming in and out, display quality settings, nothing has helped. And it's not an image issue - it's basically a display issue. I have no idea how to fix this and I'm almost rendered unable to do at least 50% of my job as I'm not just an illustrator but a designer too. The…

Return the use of "master pages" instead of "parent pages"
In the latest version Adobe decided that their job was to educate us to speak proper language, which is why the word "master pages" was replaced with "parent pages".
We do not find any problem with the phrase "master pages" and believe that it is not Adobe's role to dictate policy according to progressive agendas.
We demand to return to the previous concept of "master pages".
The term "parent pages" is confusing and misleading, with all the documentation of the software on the web for 2 decades referring to master pages.27 votes -
Share for Review Unreliable
I love the share for review function, however it is proving too unreliable to be used in a professional setting.
Here are the issues that my team and I encountered on a regular basis:
Review comment window is blank Updating sharing link freezes program Review page in browser won't load (spinning circle of death) Document in browser glitches and jumps around when trying to navigate
These are pretty serious issues that need to be resolved. I like the innovation, but in order to make it part of our process, reliability is the most important aspect.

Variable fonts: default face location included in style list even if not included in fvar
I sent a variable test font to Josh Hadley. It includes an fvar table that does not contain the location of the default instance. InDesign v17.0.1 on Windows will include the default location anyway in the list of styles for the font, with a made up name. Should it not restrict itself to what it finds in the fvar and STAT tables?

InDesign does not load type library on upgrade
Similar to the 2020 release (see https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/41072476-type-library-is-not-automatically-created-by-cc202), InDesign 2022 does not install the type library in upgrade. Please include this with the installation, as this will cause errors for many users.

Unable to print using Separations with trap Application Built In
When sending a 2+ color job with trap to RIP via Indesign, I keep getting "Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem." This seems to be an issue with the last 3 versions, along with the updates. I've uninstalled print drivers and reinstalled. Deleted cache files. For a short time I was able to print using an older version on Id but its no longer and option. My coworker who is on Mac has no problem printing with trap. Not sure what's going on. I contacted Adobe when the problem…
