cmd+shift G
In Place image dialog box, I used to be able to hit cmd+shift+G to pull up the Go to Folder dialog box in order to paste a file path. This no longer works on version 15.1.2.

Copy paste not working
I was designing a book by copying the text from word and pasting in indesign it was working fine. But now when I am trying to paste it, it is not working. At first I thought it is the systems problem and I tried troubleshooting but still the problem persists. I am able to paste the copied text in other docs but it is not working in indesign. Please provide a solution as soon as possible.

save document
I have InDesign 16.0 with a Dell Windows 10 platform. When i use the file->save option InDesign randomnly chooses the folder from all of the document folders opened during the current session for the document to be saved in, rather than the existing folder where the document to be saved originated. Since on any given day, i might have opened 10 documents in 10 different folders, i have remember EVERY document worked on to hunt for my file. It used to be that if i used file->save InDesign would automatically target the source folder from which the document opened.

Drop shadow in exported PDF is a different size
Certain drop shadows have a different size when they appear in an exported PDF.
In the attached example, the black shapes each have a drop shadow effect in yellow. When exported, the shadows appear shorter and narrower. The difference is approximately 20 pt narrower and 1 pt shorter. (Note the difference in proportion of the yellow drop shadow and black shape in the screenshots.) I've also included the drop shadow effect attributes.
This occurs with multiple PDF export settings including the default [High Quality Print]. I am able to reproduce this behavior in both InDesign versions 15.1.2 and 16.0.

Stuff missing when writing pdf
When I try to write a PDF using 2021, I often get a failure, or the PDF writes, but a load of detail is missing from it. The only workaround seems to be to write the PDF from the desktop.
What's going on?

line break between XML elements not behaving as expected
I have some XML in this format:
<ROOT><DOCUMENT>
<CHAPTER>Chapter One</CHAPTER>
<CONTENT>This is what happened in Chapter 1.</CONTENT>
<CHAPTER>Chapter Two</CHAPTER>
<CONTENT>This is what happened in Chapter 2.</CONTENT>
</DOCUMENT></ROOT>I have a pre-tagged template where the <CHAPTER> tag maps to a paragraph style with Keep Options, start paragraph=Next page (i.e., every new chapter should start on a new page). The <CONTENT> tag maps to a basic paragraph style, and <ROOT> and <DOCUMENT> are not mapped.
Notice there is a line break in the XML after <DOCUMENT>.
After importing, the result is that page 1 appears blank (because of the line break) and…

Scripts
When I updated to InDesign 2021 (V 16.0), all my custom scripts and their associated keyboard shortcuts were gone.
I had to go into my Applications/Adobe InDesign 2020/Scripts/Scripts Panel folder and copy them over into that same folder in the InDesign 2021 folder.
Not sure if it's happening across the board, but thought I'd point out my experience.
Thanks.

Impossible to copy text from InDesign 2021 to other applications
It is impossible to copy any text from InDesign 2021 to other applications as Notepad or Excel.
When copying any text in InDesign, the Windows clipboard becomes empty even if there was anything.
However, it is possible to paste into InDesign any text from InDesign and any other text from outside of InDesign.
Resetting settings using Ctrl-Shift-Del at InDesign start and changing settings “Copy/paste in PDF format” didn’t help.1 vote -
QR-Code Generator Problems with Umlauts in vCards
In the actual version of indesign (16.0) there is still an issue with internal generated vCard-QR-Code scanned by an iphone.
In germany there are special Characters called "Umlaute" (ü, ö, ä) or the "sharp s" (ß). If these characters are used in an vCard generated within the buildin function from indesign, they are replaced with other symbols on the iPhone QR-Code-Camera Reader.
I think this is only a Problem of the used vCard-Version. I think indesign uses Version 2.1 if you would just use Version 3.0 this issue does not appear.
please see attached one example
Kind regards from germany

InDesign 2021 is not allowing me to open files created in previous version
I cannot open any files created in previous version. I had to reinstall InDesign 2020 to be able to do my work. InDesign 2021 is giving me a message about damaged files, is trying to repair them but without any success. So this version needs to be fixed asap.

Selection tool issue in the latest version of InDesign.
The selection tool now only works to change the size of boxes (text, images), it no longer lets you move the boxes around the page. To move boxes you know have to switch tools to the Free Transform Tool which makes everything more time consuming.

items are missing from artwork when i copy it from illustrator and paste it into indesign. So frustrating!!!!
just make seamless copying/pasting between illustrator and InDesign.
would be even better if you can open an Illustrator file with InDesign. or if you could make InDesign like a render queue so you can better compress and save your photoshop and illustrator files to pdfs and other file types
