1. Auto-fit label confusing

   The "Auto-fit" option to keep an image's fitting method and cropping position active (as far as possible) while scaling the frame, can be confusing.

   Since the implementation of it, many users are not aware of what it does, because they assume it DOES something (make it fit automatically, right now) in stead of that it will RETAIN its current crop and fit. Especially in Dutch, where it is translated as "Make it fit", which is even more misleading.

   So when explaining what it actually does to many users (as a trainer, presenter) they always sigh...

   Please use a more clarifying label, like "Keep current fit or crop" or "Retain fitting method" ("Houd passend" in Dutch) to let more users know what it does precisely.

2. Control Panel missing fields for Type

   Updated to InDesign 17.2 and noticed that some of the fields to the right in the Control Panel are missing for type. Using 27-inch monitor in full screen mode. If take out of full screen mode and move my window way over to the left off screen, and pull the Control panel out, then I see the fields. They used to fit.

5. [ID 17.2.20] Import xlsx spreadsheet: formatted numbers are truncated

   MacOS 10.15.7 (19H1824) French localization
   InDesign 17.2.0.20 (17200)
   Excel 16.58 (16.58.22021501)

   When importing an Excel sheet as a table, every number is truncated before the first thousand separator (which is a space in French).
   1 457 will be imported as 1
   21 457 >> 21
   (21 457) >> (21
   -210 457 >> -210
   621 457 >> 621
   and so on…

   After a lot of tests on several configurations and discussions on the Adobe forum, I can say that the issue will only occur on French macOS systems, starting with Catalina. No matters what version of InDesign is used (15.0 thru 17.2).

6. .TTF and .OTF font display/loading BUG InDesign 17.2

   Fonts that used to load fine in InDesign appear missing even though they are installed and work in other apps like Illustrator or even Word.

   Specifically this is occurring with a font that has unique glyphs: Noto Sans - Canadian Aboriginal Regular.TTF this has also been tested with a conversion to .OTF with the same result and this error has been confirmed across multiple devices.

7. inDesign creates an invalid href for an Archive.org link

   When InDesign creates the href for a link from Archive.org it does not href to archive.org, but to the dead link.

   example:
   https://web.archive.org/web/20220320173121/https://freewheelingeasy.com/
   creates the href for "https://freewheelingeasy.com/"
   rather than the correct href of "https://web.archive.org/web/20220320173121/https://freewheelingeasy.com/"

8. Section addition applescript splits last spread (applescript only)

   1. Version
      InDesign 16.4.1 CC2021 (macOS 10.16 Mojave)
      Only in applescript, not in javascript.

   2. Steps to reproduce the issues
      step1. prepare a spreads document. Total number of pages must be an odd number.
      step2. Use AppleScript to set the new section at even-numbered page.

   3. Expected result
      The state of the spread is not changed.

   4. actual result
      The spread at the end is split into two spreads.

   5. --code

   main()

   on main()
   mySetup() of me

   tell application "Adobe InDesign 2021"
   
       set mydoc to document 1
       set mypage2 to page 2 of mydoc
   
       tell mydoc
           set newsection to make section with properties {continue numbering:false, page start:mypage2, page number start:4}
       end tell
   end tell

   set mydoc to make document
   set properties of document preferences of mydoc to {facing pages:true, pages per document:5}

10. enorme problème d'affichage dès que je scrolle ou zoome

    J'ai un énorme problème d'affichage depuis quelques temps, lorsque je scrolle mes pages sont illisibles, comme si il manquait des morceaux comme si elles s'auto-aspiraient par leur centre... ça se décale par le bord et le milieu.
    ca m'est devenu très difficile de travailler, je ne sais pas comment faire.
    Régulièrement ma barre d'outils disparait également.

13. [ID-4261015]Can't grab window

    When working on an InDesign file, when I need to grab the InDesign window (by clicking and dragging) and move it, I usually have to make three attempts before my mouse "catches" the window. InDesign 17.2, Mac Studio OS 12.3.1. It's very random when it works and not works, but mostly it doesn't work on the first attempt.

14. tracking

    Having lots of issues since the latest update (17.2) with the character box.

    When I highlight my text it won't allow me to click the dropdown to change the font or the tracking.

    If I click on the 'tracking' field, I can type the number in manually but I can't see it. I also cannot click the up and down buttons to change it that way.

18. Placed PDFs and Images Not Rendering

    I'm on InDesign 2022 (17.2) and have started recently having issues with placed images and PDFs after an update. I have a 2021 silicon Mac Mini for Travel and an Intel 2019 iMac for home use. Both on Monterey 12.3.1

    The rendering issue began after certain documents originally worked on in the silicon version had issues when opening in the Intel version.

    This happened with both images (TIFs, JPGs) and PDF files. After placing the files in InDesign (in the mac mini) they rendered fine. Upon opening the files though in InDesign on my iMac. The renderings did not appear. Deleting the image box and re-importing did not help. Trashing the ID preferences did temporarily help though.

    Unfortunately, upon opening another file this morning the same issue occurred.
