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.

Crashes when I try to export
InDesign 17.1 - Today something happend with my InDesign and I can't export anything anymore as it gives me this problem like in the two images. And it doesn't matter if I click on the ok or not, it simply closes. And when I try to open InDesign again, the loading screen appears and then crashes and closes. The second time I try to open and move to recover my file, it crashes. It also crashed even if I hit No. Only when I hit the Close button, then it moves on but I still can't export anything. And I…

Fixing images and text wrap
Since a longer time there is a bug, that makes it impossible to let the text flow around beside an image, while this image is fixed with a anchor mark. The line, where the anchor mark is set doesn’t flow around. That makes an unhappy compronise necessary: Either you don’t set the anchor mark and the image doesn’t flow with the text or you set an manual word wrap.
This should be fixed because in other programs it also works.

Printing to PDF: transparent images on a black background create two different blacks.
Export function doesn't tend to create this problem, but I have to use the Print Booklet function to get page layout and everything else correct.
I understand the difference between Rich Black and Accurate Black, but changing the settings for what InDesign will export seems to have no effect. have tried about 6 different solutions but none of them seem to work, short of me jumping through obscene hoops to cheat it. FIX YOUR CRAP ADOBE.
Attaching two images:
First is Screencap from InDesign viewport.
Second is PDF after print.UPDATE: The website doesn't allow me to upload jpegs, so…

Cannot click top MacOS Menu Bar with Indesign running
With Indesign 17 running, top menu bar on MacOS Monterey is unclickable (Apple menu onwards - e.g. File, Edit etc). Sometimes releasing the mouse makes the dropdown menu appear - but can't click on items - or the menu next to the one wanted appears). Quitting InDesgn restores the top menu to normal functions for other Apps.

page disappearing
Page has disappeared from behind objects. As if the artboard has disappeared, the page is gone but the objects remain. This has affected 20 pages or so of my document. It even exports in PDF as a blank page. I have attached images of what it looks like. This is a disaster and needs to be rectified.

Duplicating Document within Finder Causes Both to be linked to the same Review "Share For Review"
I just encountered a very annoying bug. It seems that if you duplicate a file in the finder (Mac OS) with a document that already has a review, the copy seems to keep the link to the Shared for Review review. Also the original maintains the link. Even if you try creating a new review it seems both files are connected. The way to avoid it is to do a Save Copy from with InDesign. So I guess within the InDesign document when you just duplicate in the finder there is some information that somehow keeps it lined to the…

InDesign 17.1 not working properly
InDesign (17.1) is acting very strange for the last two months. When I click on File, Edit, View or any other topic, the tab does not open. I cannot access any action under those tabs. Also, when I eventually get to work with my document, it is extremely slow to save. It turns, and turns forever. I've been working with InDesign for over 20 years and it's the first time I have so much trouble with the software. How can that be fixed?

BUG - Frame Fitting Option not saving Fitting:None
InDesign 16.4
When using frame fitting options > Fitting: is not retaining the option 'None' but defaulting back to 'Fill Frame Proportionally' when checking the frame fitting options.
Select a frame.
Choose Object > Fitting > Frame Fitting Options.
Select Auto-Fit> Fitting:None > Align From: Centre and then click OK:
Then Choose the same Object > Fitting > Frame Fitting Options. and the Fitting: has not saved 'None' but reverted back to 'Fill Frame Proportionally'.
I have to do this multiple times before it saves the correct Fitting:

Uservoice page bug
The uservoice page, when posting or updating an idea/bug report would not accept attachments where the extension is in capital letters, such as the Windows Snipping tool would save them when creating screenshots. Means, a file with appendix *.PNG is not accepted, but one with *.png is.
That's stupid programming!

Bug: wrong row/paragraph counting in tables
Version 17.1: if you have a table, for example 20 rows and 2 columns and you select 10 entire rows, i. e. 20 cells, ID would "Rows: 20" in the information window. If every cell has no more than one paragraph and two cells of the selected rows are empty, the paragraph count should be 18, but it's 21.
When selecting 4 rows, it counts 8 rows and 8 paragraphs, which is correct because it counts cells. When selecting 10 rows, it would could

Slow opening documents with links to a network drive letter that is not present
InDesign 2022 – version 17.1 x64 running on Windows 10.
Steps to reproduce the issues
Prepare a document in this way:

1d Close the document, and close the VPN connection.
1e Open the document.I would expect the document to open within 5 seconds or so.
It takes 18 to 20 seconds before the message about a missing link appears, and the document can open.

High CPU use with version 17.1
This has already been posted for 17.0 by another user. I installed 17.1 yesterday, because I needed to open a specific file and compared to the 14.0.3 which I use all the time, the 17.1 uses 1/4 of CPU power after start while no document is opened and it actually does nothing. This remains for several minutes, then goes down to 0. The attached picture shows that both versions are running (no files open).

findGrep() causes Indesign to hang and consume all available resources, eventually crashing the entire computer
This code will cause InDesign 17.1 to hang and consume all available resources until the computer eventually runs out of both real and virtual memory and then crashes.
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.properties = { includeMasterPages: true, kanaSensitive: true, widthSensitive: true };
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '^(.*)$';var found = app.documents[0].changeObject.findGrep();
If the runaway app is terminated using Task Manager (Windows 10), a stack of message boxes appear with the following message:
Unable to terminate process
The operation could not be completed

V2022 - Museo Sans fonts not working after InDesign update
I recently upgraded my InDesign on my PC, running Windows 10 Enterprise, from Version 2019 to Version 2022.
After the update, my Museo Sans from Adobe fonts stopped working in Version 2022. I couldn't convert my InDesign file back to 2019, so I ended up pulling it into a Mac environment and re-saving successfully from V2021 to an IDML file and re-opening it in InDesign V2019 on my PC. The fonts are visible in the newly re-opened V2019 file.
I've included screen shots of what I see in V2022 (most Museo Sans text missing) and V2019 (all Museo Sans text…

Export and Package dialog window not working when menu items are colored
Export and Package dialog window not working when menu items are colored.
If you customize the Export or Package menu item by making it a color under Edit-> Menus... , the dialogs that open contain drop-down menus that are not editable. You can't pick the PDF preset or the format for the packaged document. This can be replicated across different MacOS operation systems and hardware configurations. If you remove the color from the menu items the functionality returns.2 votes -
