Windows 10 / InDesign 19.5 x64 - Text Frame and Zoom Window Problems
When attempting to use the Text Tool to creat a text frame by using the click / drag / release method either nothing happens (99% of the time), the text frame is invisble (I confirmed a text frame was created by viewing 'Undo Create Text Frame'), the release of the mouse pointer occurs on its own.
Expected result: create a text frame in a single movement: left click the mouse on a location, drag while the mouse button is held down, release the button to create a text frame

Drawing glitches when placing transparent PNGs in RGB documents on monitors with specific color profiles
Applicable to Any Version of Mac/InDesign
When using an EIZO color management monitor with a profile created by ColorNavigator where "Reflect Black Level in Tone Curve" is enabled, placing a transparent PNG into an RGB document causes severe drawing issues, rendering the document almost unusable.
This issue occurs only when GPU rendering is enabled and does not happen with CPU rendering. Additionally, it does not occur when placing a transparent PNG in a CMYK document.
Even under the same conditions, this issue does not occur in Photoshop or Illustrator, only in InDesign.
While creating a profile with "Reflect Black Level…

ePub 2.0.1 export creates invalid ePub files
InDesign creates incorrect ePub in latest version (19.5) when exporting reflowable ePub 2.0.1.
This is the result of any ePub generated with InDesign from the Draft2Digital Epub validator:
- ERROR(RSC-005): /OEBPS/content.opf(2,105): Error while parsing file: attribute "xml:lang" not allowed here; expected attribute "id"
The "xml-lang=" attribute should not be removed from the "package" tag, as it is not in the ePub 2.0.1 standard.

Every possible action on notes freeze or crash InDesign 2024
I had this issue in a very simple one A4 page document that has a single text area filled with text and some not complicated header elements (including a placed image) in InDesign 2024 (v. 19.5) file.

Anything I did with notes after that, the app freezes or crashes each time. Is that a known bug?

Pages of my 300-page file disappear
Hello,
I recently took over the creation of my company's general catalog (300 pages), which I had previously entrusted to another graphic designer, who transferred the file to me. Since I've taken over the design of the catalog, I've run into a lot of different problems:
Sometimes, entire pages disappear. Sometimes, text and images are preserved and visible when I'm in “W”, but the background of the blank page is no longer visible. As a result, when I'm no longer in “W”, the page disappears completely.
Also, sometimes images disappear, for no reason at all, or strange shapes appear next…
