Rendering of Bitmaps with High Sierra not as smooth as they should be.
Since upgrading to High Sierra, I am finding in High Quality Display, bitmaps are not rendering smoothly on screen or in print.
Exporting to PDFs gets over this, but not great when composing, and needing to see images as they will be.

search
I use CC 2017, but of course have seen this issue in other versions, Mac, and PC. When typing in a search term, like search term, the letters I type in show up backward, if at all, so mret chraes... which of course makes searching impossible. I can close the program, close the dialog box, and it still keeps coming up. It's so frustrating when you have 1000s of pages and need to find multiple words in between to keep opening/closing/shutting down

Can't scroll through pages in presentation mode
2017.1 Release, 12.1.0.56 Build
macOS Sierra version 10.12.6When I go to the presentation mode, I am not able to scroll through the pages. Whether i use the trackpad, arrow keys, or change the keyboard shortcuts.
6 votesHello All,
There has to be a scenario in which the scrolling of the document is not working in presentation mode because, otherwise it is not reproducible at our end.
I can observe that, pages do not scroll while making a vertical gesture on the mouse, but through other methods such as, click, arrow key pages can be scrolled easily.Are you able to scroll using clicks and arrow keys?
Is it the case that, the issue is intermittent or only happens in a specific scenario?
Also, let us know your machine details such its configuration, OS version and Id versionThis can help us to get to the bottom of the issue
Thanks,

When clicking on the dropdown menu to select a CC library, the tabs do not open unless I hold down the ^ button. When opened, I cannot select a CC library. Have refreshed several times but it still doesn't let me change the library! This is on InDesign for Mac.

Command + option + drag no longer copies text box
Have used this feature for 20 years and now the double arrow indicating that a box is being copied shows up, but the text box is not actually copied--the box just moves.
7 votesThis is working as it should – that is, duplicating the selected object.
Please update to the latest available version of InDesign (13.1) via Creative Cloud application. Before launching InDesign, delete the Application Preferences and Caches to ensure that any corrupt preferences are not causing this issue to happen.
Please let us know if you still experience this issue.
Thanks,

Scrolling too slow
Adobe needs to improve scrolling speed. When using the slider, InDesign can't keep up with it.
8 votesWhich version of InDesign are you currently using and what is the operating system you are on? Does this happen in some specific cases or always for you?
