2. table of contents very buggy

   i think i know how to use indesign cc's table of contents feature, but it doesn't seem to work as advertised, or demonstrated in numerous videos. i cannot get the revisions to the toc paragraph styles to effect changes in the toc itself. despite the revised and selected paragraph style showing the new redefined settings, the toc only changes what is highlighted (not the rest of the elements in that style) and then reverts back to the original display on update. will be faster to just design it as a text block, which i don't think is the point. anyone?

4. Indesign 16.1 keeps crashing

   Hi,

   My Indesign keeps crashing when I paste or modify the text (both inside Indesign or imported from Word) beyond very simple modifications: if I replace one word it still works, but it crashes when I replace a paragraph or a text box.

   It became impossible to work on Indesign and I really need to get my work done. Help!

   I'm working on a macbook pro (mid-2012, non-retina) + macOS Catalina (10.15.7).

   I also sent the crash report (I also saved it as a text file if needed).

5. Mouse does not move/work on pc not possible when rendering a PDF

   It would be great if I could keep working on the PC and InDesign keeps rendering the PDF. But this is not possible because the mouse can not moved as soon as inDesign saves a book as PDF.
   I sit in front of the PC for almost 5 minutes and can't do anything else on the PC.
   Fixt this now finally!!!

6. What if I could double click the application title bar to minimize a window into the dock?

   Dear Adobe,
   Double-clicking a title bar to minimize a window is Mac behavior that goes back to the first release of OS10 in 2001. It is based on an even older behavior from OS9 where double clicking a title bar would "windowshade" the window like a roller blind rolling up into itself.

   Apple and Adobe train us all the time to adapt to new technologies and interfaces. Some behaviors we learn are easy to shake off and adapt to the new ones, especially if we haven't done them for very long. As a creative professional who has obviously done this for a long time, I've learned to be flexible. But this one, the reflex is so second-nature to me. Double click the title bar, the window should minimize to the dock.  I still have this problem, Adobe, and I cuss a blue streak every time I double click the title bar in indesign and instead of minimizing, it mocks me and fills the screen! 

   Adobe please be consistent on these matters. Either return this functionality back to indesign and illustrator, or remove it from ALL the apps so users can move on. 

   Don't get me started on all the different ways each program resizes objects uniformly. Or zooms, for crying in a bucket. :)

   Your pal,
   Brant

7. Effects affecting all elements instead of the selected

   Recently I've noticed that whenever I try to add an effect, it affects ALL elements as opposed to just the selected object.

   The first time I noticed, I thought it would go away when I restart the computer but it's still happening! In the screenshot below, the top left was indeed the only one that got the dropshadow treatment but as soon as I hit that add dropshadow button, all the box changed their colors (see the purple and blue box)

   Tried Googling for a solution but couldn't find any. Anybody experienced(ing) the same thing? How did you fix it?

9. WorldReady settings go missing in [Basic Paragraph] style

   Adobe InDesign (ME) 2021, 2020, CC 2019, ..., CS6
   macOS and Windows

   InDesign's WorldReady settings (Paragraph Direction, Kashidas, etc.) are being stripped from a document's [No Paragraph Style] style when opened on a machine with a missing 3rd-party plug-in (like Em Software's InCatalog). This appears to happen with any 3rd-party plug-in that adds a text attribute with a prefix that's lower than the WorldReady plug-in's prefix. While the following steps use the Middle Eastern app (English Arabic), where there's a UI to see the style's empty/blank WorldReady entries, we've confirmed that this problem affects all app variants (including English (Roman)).

   To reproduce:
   1. Install ME version of InDesign 2021 (English Arabic).
   2. Install Em Software's InCatalog plug-in (http://emsoftware.com/products/emcatalog/ ) or any plug-in that adds a text attribute with a prefix ID below that of WorldReady's 0x50f00. (The SDK's BasicTextAdornment sample will work if its kBscTAPrefixNumber is changed to something like 0x43a00.)
   3. Restart InDesign while holding down Shift-Control-Option/Alt (to ensure the session workspace's [Basic Paragraph] style is rebuilt to include the new plug-in's text attribute).
   4. Create a new document and add a text frame containing a few paragraphs using the [Basic Paragraph] style. This text should compose as right-to-left (the ME version's default direction, as specified by WorldReady's kParagraphDirAttrBoss). Create a numbered list, since that's a great way to see the problem.
   5. Save the document.
   6. Quit InDesign.
   7. Remove InCatalog (or whatever plug-in was installed in step 2).
   8. Restart InDesign.
   9. Open the document that was saved in step 5.

   Alternatively:
   1. Install ME version of InDesign 2021 (English Arabic).
   2. Restart InDesign while holding down Shift-Control-Option/Alt (to ensure a clean session workspace)
   3. Open the attached SavedWithInCat(2021ME).indd file. (Well, UserVoice won't let me upload it. Ask & I can send directly.)

   Notice that the text frame in the opened document incorrectly flows left-to-right and the numbered list's numbers wrongly show on the left rather than the right. Edit the [Basic Paragraph] style and note that the WorldReady settings in the Middle East Character Formats and Indents and Spacing panels are blank/empty. (See attached before-after screenshots.) One would expect a style to survive intact even when opened on a machine with a missing 3rd-party plug-in, but instead some of its settings may be at risk of being lost.

   We've used WorldReady as the victim here, but this problem affects any plug-in, Adobe or 3rd party, that adds a text attribute with a prefix that's higher than the missing plug-in's prefix (such as Em Software's InData).

   Details: We've isolated what looks like a long-standing problem (bug?) with the SDK's AttributeBossList::CopyInto(), where it stops the copy when it encounters an attribute whose plug-in is missing. Instead, the copy should continue after the missing plug-in's entry order to produce a complete list of non-missing attributes. Copies produced by AttributeBossList's Duplicate(), ApplyAttributes(), and its copy-constructor are all affected.

12. Indesign 2021 'preflight in all documents' causes the application to freeze (not responding)

    preflight for all documents turned on causes the application Indesign 2021 to freeze, (not responding) each time it runs an automatic preflight, then 5 minutes later it finishes and the document unfreezes.
    Turning off the "Preflight in all documents fixes the problem

13. 复合字体(fuheziti) in CHINESE INDESIGN CC 2020 & 2021

    First reported in case : ADB-18557554-K6D2

    Any one of these action will definitely CRASH InDesign:
    1. Try to create a character style using a predefined fuheziti
    2. In default mode (no page opened), try to import character/paragraph/object styles that uses fuheziti from a page.

14. no correct hyphenation of German words with dashes

    In German we have many terms consisting of two or more words with dashes in between. Everybody would hyphenate these naturally behind the dashes. InDesign is unable to do so, but suggests multiple wrong or ugly hyphenations and leaves the dashes as if they were non-breaking hyphens, which they are not! I know this problem since several years. I had it in CS5 and 6 as well as in every later version and today in InDesign 2020.
    For example: In cookbooks there are often intermediate products consisting of two or more ingredients. Some (artificial) examples:
    Das Mehl mit dem Kakaopulver, dem Backpulver und 1/4 TL Salz mischen und unter das Ei-Butter-Gemisch rühren. Die Mehl-Aprikosen-Flüssigkeit unterrühren. Die Eigelbe wie im Grundrezept beschrieben unter die Butter-Zucker-Mischung rühren. Ein Drittel Eischnee mit dem Mehl-Backpulver-Ansatz unterrühren, dann die restliche Ei-Bananen-Milch mit einem Holzkochlöffel vorsichtig unterheben.
    „Butter-Zucker-Mischung“ everybody would preferably and correctly hyphenate (\) like this: Butter-\Zucker-\Mischung, but InDesign produces only something ugly and devious like But\ter-Zu\cker-Mi\schung and so to speak considers both dashes as non-breaking hyphen. My only solution each time is manual hyphenation or an own entry in the user dictionary. The effort is too much because it happens too often.
    In German you can combine nouns arbitrarily and optionally separate them with dashes, so that the text is more clear and comprehensible. As the given combinations of nouns vary all the time it is an unnacceptable effort to define a hyphenation exception for every one of them in the user dictionary. InDesign just has to acknowledge that hyphenating directly behind the dash(es) is the first choice instead of simply wrong!
    I cannot imagine that a general rule like this would create a problem in other languages and different contexts. Hyphenation directly behind the dash(es) is always by far the most aesthetic solution.
    The problem does not only affect cookbooks. There are millions of possible cases, such as: Stephen-King-Filme, Agatha-Christie-Romane, Freund-Feind-Erkennung, Ein-Aus-Schalter, Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, Tag-Nacht-Schaltung, Willy-Brandt-Allee (along with thousands of other street names), Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität …

15. Hairlines/artifacts randomly appearing on screen

    1) InDesign 16.1 (and othre versions)

    2) Place an image or object. Apply a drop shadow. Pan/scroll, zoom, enable or dissable output preview

    3) Consistent rendering.

    4) Glitches of bands of light or dark pixels may appear over images, in transparencies and effects. These may come and go depending on resolution preview mode, zoom and/or if overprint preview is rendered. (The lines are similar to tiling lines in PDFx1a in that they are rendering glitches presumably caused by floating point calculations)
