Linked PDF images not exporting to PDF correctly
InDesign (16.2.1), Windows 10
Logos saved as PDFs and placed in an InDesign file appear with a gray vertical line on the right side of the image frame when the file is converted to PDF. There is no stroke or fill on the image frame; further, I checked a PDF with the same PDF logo in it that I created a month ago and it did not have the line. The line appears when the PDF is printed.
We found that reverting back to v16.1 resolved the issue. Also, relinking a JPG or TIF of the logo worked in 16.2.1,…

InDesign 2021 v16.2.1: Glitchy preview on opening
InDesign 2021 v16.2.1: I have been experiencing viewing issues with the latest update. Whenever I open a file the preview is either blank (grey) or doesn't show correctly/looks glitchy. This happens on all documents that were previously fine. The preview glitch appears periodically when I'm working on the document as well as first open so I have to either close the document and reopen or, strangely, turn on/off the rulers? I haven't seen this before – any help appreciated! I have attached an initial open and after I turn on rulers screenshots to demonstrate. Please can you help?

Comment pins move in spread with content
At the moment, pins on content in a story do not move with that text if the text ends up being pushed onto another page. This means we end up with seemingly random pins floating on the page.
Please allow pins to remain bound to their original location as text moves and flows into other pages.

New Bug Indesign 16.2.1 | Contours conversion error (inside/outside aligned)
This bug seems to only affect older InDesign documents and graphic elements from them that were created before the update to 16.2.1. The bug can NOT be reproduced in completely new 16.2.1 documents with newly created elements!
What happens:
For example, if you create a circle with the dimensions 200X200mm and a 10mm thick outline, this results in a circle with the dimensions
210X210mmBut if you now change the contour orientation from center to inside, the dimensions change unproportionally in height:
Instead of 200 x 200 mm the circle becomes quasi
an "egg" 200 x 199.999 mmIf you…

TOC is not reading page number correcting.
The title I'm creating TOC from contains the 'current page number' marker.
It doesn't matter the format of the numbering I have set, ie. a, b, c or i. ii. iii or 001, 002, 003.
it will only show the absolute number of the page in the document.

Hello,
The spellchecker does not highlight mistakes in InDesign, although it is "activated" in the preferences.
Sincerely

BUG : Red panels and shifted elements
It appears randomly, often when I open a second ID file, the first opened get some red panels and all the elements are shifted.
The only way to solve this for now is to close the document and reopen it.Here is the link to the ticket on Adobe Support Community I made earlier (it contains a video showing what is happening) : https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/indesign-v-16-2-1-display-bug-shifted-elements/m-p/12053732#M430155

InDesign UI frame changes colour
I guess this is a bug but i actually think it could be a good idea. Attached are a couple of examples of what's happened on my screen from time to time. The UI takes on a florescent colour - and all palette names/numbers, etc change to this colour.
Small appearing UI's seems to have been quite a big topic in recent years - especially as we all move toward 4K screens. So this 'bug', if that's what it is, seems to work really well for me and gives the whole workspace much more clarity. But i just have no…1 vote -

InDesign Beta Critical for Many M1 users.
I can't stress enough how important this is for many M1 users.
I have a $1.5 million grant proposal due in 6 weeks and depend critically on InDesign to draft the proposal. Things were going along great until a day or two ago when the beta expired.
Why not renew it until the public Beta is released? Or at least update the beta.
The non-M1 (Rosetta) version is very buggy and adds at least 10% extra effort to my workflow. Please help!

Best update in years...Thank you!
For years, Adobe has added cloud features, glitches, ignored issues, and created a more bloated and buggy program. This is the first update in years that has improved things people including myself have been asking for a long time (some since the birth of CC).
Thank you! I hope this is a shift in direction as there is more to be fixed (mainly resource utilization efficiency and long requested productivity features for professionals.)
Keep up this great work!
