Adjusting the pasteboard size between pages is broken - see screenshot, I've set it to zero and still each page is miles apart. Sick and tired of these endless bugs.

The workaround is to save the linked file to Adobe Libraries.Expected:
The file link should show that it is updated in the links panel.

Edit -> Duplicate - keyboard shortcut broken
It has been broken for years actually, you cannot use a keyboard shortcut to duplicate. It's in every version of InDesign for years.
Easily reproducible - select an object and try to duplicate via keyboard shortcut (command - option - shift - D).

Style "based on" another doesn't inherit Export Tag settings
When a paragraph style (or character style) is created that is based on an existing one, Export Tagging attributes should be inherited just like all the other attributes are - that one category of settings seems to have been overlooked in the code. You can see screenshots and my example use case at: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/style-quot-based-on-quot-another-doesn-t-inherit-export-tag-settings/m-p/11981317

File Info > Raw Data panel doesn't allow to select text and search
The File Info > Raw Data panel stopped working as expected:
-The search field doesn't work
-It's impossible to even select text in the panelI'm pretty sure it worked earlier - so something probably got broken recently.

bullet numbering not resetting
To make numbered lists automatically reset between body copy text, I set body copy to be a numbered list without any numbering at level 1.
Numbered lists are level 2. With tick box 'reset numbers at this level after Any Previous Level'
But the numbered list doesn't get reset when there are body copy between.
It only resets if the level 1 paragraph style is actually numbering.

turn off Touch workspace!
Can Adobe PLEASE stop making the Touch workspace compulsory every time the app launches. Not all users want this. We didn't ask Adobe to turn off our usual interface and replace it with a Touch version.
When we have to go through the mandatory 'hey this is new examples' EVERY TIME just to get into the app, only to have to turn it off by choosing "essentials" (top right) EVERY TIME we launch the app, it becomes a major pain.
Who on earth at Adobe throught this would be a good idea? Surely this is just a bug? Why isn't…
