animated zoom
The animated zoom isn't working in InDesign on external monitors. This happens across the board for all documents. Doesn't happen in Photoshop or Illustrator.

Split columns not working in cell
The span/split column paragraph setting doesn't work if the text happens to be inside a cell.
So you can't have your paragraph split into two columns inside a table.
Please fix!

cannot select footnote with mouse
Sometimes, when entering multiple footnotes, I can't select the bottom or next-to-bottom ones with the mouse, as shown in the jpg I just uploaded. File shown in the screenshot also uploaded to my FTP site at http://www.conovers.org/ftp/AppSAR-1-Survival.indd, page 80 is where the problem is. Thank you.

Indesign 16.1 x64
Spell Checker from time to time switches from checking a story to checking the entire document. This is a pain when I'm working in a large document with hundreds of stories. Is there a way to make Spell Checker default to checking story?

Applying a different swatch not always working (bug?)
It happens every now and then that changing the color of text by selecting the text with the text tool and clicking on the desired swatch does not change anyting. You can select the desired color, but the text color stays the same. It does not seem to be document related and is not always happening. If you use the color picker to select a random color from the document, the problem disappears. You can find more comments and examples on this issue in the Support Community: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/can-t-change-colors-from-the-swatch-panel/m-p/11859690

tables jumping to next page
Sometimes tables that fit on one page jumps to the next page causing reflow. It does this randomly and can't figure out why. This has to be caused by bug in indesign. I really wish Adobe would focus more on fixing the many bugs in its programs rather than adding new features.

{{docInfo.map.documentName | limitTo: (isTouch ? 30 : 80)}}{{docInfo.map.documentName.length > (isTouch ? 30 : 80) ? '...' : ''}}{{pageDetails}}

Emailing a document video won't go away
Opening a saved document and a 'helpful tip' video clip about emailing a document is stuck in the middle of the screen and won't close or go away, can't click on it and nothing works to get rid of it.

Hidden characters not showing
Hidden characters are not showing up in version 16.1, either from keyboard shortcut or from drop down menu. I ensure that overprint preview is not on and I'm in normal mode (not preview mode). If I quit and restart InDesign they come back for a bit but then disappear again.

Layout adjust badly deforms vector graphics
Vector images pasted from Illustrator (without any raster effect added) become badly deformed when using Layout Adjust. Parts of the image may become bloated, extended, compressed, text is deformed, rectangles become squares; circles, ovals, parts shift, etc. In short, a total mess

can't type in text box
I create a text box, but when I type in it, no text appears. My keyboard works, and the rest of InDesign's functions work. And I'm updated to the most recent version of INDD--v16.1.

Page/Spread Duplicate and Place doesn't work after last update update
When duplicating pages (or spreads) using Option (on Mac) and dragging inside "Pages" window, it no longer allows you to drag this duplicate anywhere in the page order list, but all the way at the end. This is extremely inefficient now and a lot more work to re-organize pages again after the duplicate is made. This is frustrating since this was a feature before and now it's gone. Please, bring it back.

Coruppt HTML Export in Indesign v16
I have a document, which is created in an older Indesign-Version. It contains many HTML-Export Tags - no Problem in Indesign v14 (CC 2019) and v15 (2020). When I export a HTML-File from Indesign v16 (2021), all n-characters in the span-class-Attribute are replaced with blanks!

Undo reverts to last save
I'm using InDesign 2021 version 16.1, macOS version. Recently (maybe since the last update) it lost the regular undo ability. Instead of undoing by steps, it undoes all steps since the last save.
It is similar to the issue reported with InDesign 2020 (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38991835-undo-not-working-properly-in-indesign-2020), but the bug persists in the current version even though it is reported as 'Fixed' in that thread.
This happens every time when using Undo (Command-Z). It reverts to the last saved state. In the case that a document has been saved multiple times, it appears each press of Undo goes back to the…
