  1. Clearer online navigation arrows on web - Accessibility & UX Improvements

    Currently, the page navigation arrows are not defined enough for accessibility and clearer navigation. If someone has a published doc that is a white background, one can not see the page navigations in the main view clearly at all and people assume it's just one page. Also, the hover-over fade also can cause the assumption that it's one page.

    A suggested solution is to make the directional arrows, non-fade and a 1pt thicker and more defined drop shadow...

  2. Unreliable color management with object layer options

    (Indesign-Version 16.2)

    Hello. I've already posted in the Community and we think, it's a bug in Indesign. This was the description of my post:


    The problem is: When I use Object > Object Layer Options to show and hide layers in a .psd file, I have had the problem that the color management isn‘t working reliably.

    Sometimes, the ICC profile „Document RGB“ is displayed in the InDesign document by mistake, even though the linked image is using the ICC profile „sRGB“.

    If I do the same with placing (File -> Place -> Show Import Options -> Layers), it works.

    So…

  4. Interactive "Go to Page" destinations don't update when pages are added or removed from document.

    One of the possible interactive actions in a document is "Go to Page." I can have a button jump the Publish Online view to a different page in the document. Unlike EVERY other page-related function in InDesign, the page number designated doesn't update if a page is added or removed between the button and the target page.

    Example:

    I set a button on page 3, that when clicked jumps the view to page 10. If, later in the document creation/editing process, a page is deleted between these pages, the view still jumps to page 10, not page 9 which is…

  5. publish online doesn't respect layout

    I can't drop screenshots for confidentiality reasons, but the proportions of objects in the exported 'Publish online' site don't match proportions in the inDesign document.

    -images are strangely blurry even though they have more than enough resolution
    -online objects not aligning with where they appear to on page in working doc, and scaling/cropping within their boxes differently too.

  7. command and option keys stop working

    Several times a day my command and option keys stop working in Adobe products. Only logging out will briefly fix the problem.

  10. Spell check does not work

    When I open the dialog, it already says "Spell Check Complete" at the top. I changed what to search, to get it to say "Ready to Check Spelling" then clicked "Start", but nothing happens—just goes back to saying "Spell Check Complete".

  17. The number on the Image Place Thumbnail is not correct

    It should reflect the number of images 'in' the cursor. But its 1 too high.

    To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received an email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.

    We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding: Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

    We recommend you upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2023(v18.2.1.455) as it is more robust and contains a lot of bug fixes.

    We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.
