paragraph shading where inline table is used
Indesign all versions:
I often use pararaph shading to give my text some extra attention. I may also have tables in this text, that require the same shading. But unfortunately, that's not possible with inline tables. When I instead use inline graphics, the shading works as expected.
Seems like a bug to me!

Indesign 2021 keeps crashing & closing for no reason
I have been working on the same document for a few days, and ever since the update of Indesign, it crashes at random instances.
It has crashed when I'm doing the following:
- Highlighting text
- Resizing text
- Moving an image
- Drawing a shape
- Just opening the document with inactivity for about 3 minsThese are small things & it is very time-consuming having to redo things several times.

Unable to drag & drop images into Indesign 2021 Open File
- Set-up a new document
- Have added text and images as normal.
- Command + D is successful when placing an image, however, drag & drop does nothing. No image shows in the thumbnail near the cursor either.
This is an issue as it is much quicker to drag & drop than placing the images from different locations.

Some spreads gone grey and only export as blank pages
I have an account report getting some problems. Some spreads have suddenly gone grey - as you see in screenshot. In the Pages panel they appear blank and when I export them - also blank. When I try to fix the page or add a new one the program unexpectedly quits.
I think this is an error from the file.1 vote -
Shortcuts 'Open' and 'New' not working when ID starts for the first time after quit
Key commands for 'Open' and 'New' are not working when InDesign starts for the first time after quit or restart.
However as a workaround I've discovered I can get things working again if I go to InDesign > Preferences > General and just click OK . For some reason that brings the functionality back.
Please provide a patch soon :)
I'm on ID 2021 version 16.0

Tags not Exporting Correctly and other Accessibility Issues
The latest versions of InDesign often does not export tags to PDF correctly. Other accessibility issues also tend to occur from time to time, but the most common is tagged artifacts lose their tags when exported to PDF. I backsave to InDesign 2019 and re export. All is consistently correct from that version. Would love for Adobe to look into this issue and correct. Our sight-impaired populations require software that makes accessibility easier with each upgrade, not harder. (Reinventing the process every few upgrades doesn't help either.) Thanks!

"Go-to-Folder" Shortcut Not Working When InDesign Opens Finder
About two updates prior to the last 2021 update that was released, the shortcut Commnand+Shift+G that would normally open the "Go-to-Folder" dialog box when doing something like relinking an image stopped working.
Unlike windows, where a file's location path can be copied and pasted at any time into an address bar, the "Go-to-Folder" menu can only be accessed via shortcut on Mac (as far as I am aware). It is very inconvenient to have to go through every folder individual folder, when I want to relink or place something, instead of being able to directly go to where the file…

Saving... way to define
With the version 16.0, InDesign doesn't find the way to the file when I save it. I have to define it every time, it is not very convenient.

Random pdfs displaying weird text placement
Since Adobe updated my InDesign to 2021, I have been having issues with fonts showing correctly in placed pdfs. Sometimes text will be completely removed. Other times text is displayed enlarged, upside down and reversed. It is not all pdfs. Sometimes it is just one page in a pdf that displays badly. Please fix this bug. It is very annoying when I'm trying to paginate and print files for clients.

Visibility of levels of embedded AI files are not kept
When I use an AI file with multiple layers, InDesign 2020 (v. 15.1.3) doesn't keep the right visibility of layers when I update the AI file. The same is true when I re-open the InDesign file.
Same for InDesign 2021 (v. 16.0)
Not sure if this also happens with multilayered PSD files, I didn't checked yet.
Tried to recreate the file from scratch, no way to solve the issue.The problem never occurred in previous version of InDesign.
