Issue with Word Breaks in Dictionaries on InDesign (last version)
Dear Technical Support Team,
I am writing to inform you about an issue I am experiencing with word breaks in dictionaries, primarily in UK English (the Canadian one has fewer problems), German (2006 reform with Duden activated), and Danish, which are the languages I use the most. This problem has also arisen in other languages. I always switch the dictionary according to the language of the text I am working on. I have mainly encountered these errors using InDesign, but it has also happened to me in Illustrator. Clearly, the word break functionality is not working correctly, and syllabication is…

preferences
After updating to Indesign 18.5 on macOS Ventura 13.2, every time it starts up I have to hold shift+ctrl+opt+cmd to clear the preferences or it crashes after half a second. Doesn't matter if I close it immediately without doing anything and restart, it still crashes every single time, instantly. 18.4 worked perfectly and continues to work perfectly if I roll back, 18.5 continues to crash every time even on a reinstall.

ink limit not displaying correctly with 'flat' psd files, Indesign 18.5
Indesign doesn't correctly display zero ink levels when inspecting psd files with the ink limit inspector when the .psd file has the default 'background' bottom layer present.
first image uploaded shows two files with same colour profiles, from same scanner etc previewed in Indesign —top one still has a 'background' base layer and the white area around it shows red when there isnt any ink/colour — this is incorrect!
If I double click the background layer so it is no longer 'flat' and resave the top photoshop file, then Indesign is able to read the ink levels correctly!

InDesign Not Exporting Forms Correctly
InDesign 18.5 is not exporting form fields correctly. The fields have a description, which corresponds to a tooltip in Acrobat. The fields fail the Acrobat accessibility checker, which states they do not have a description. They do, but InDesign is not exporting it correctly. The only way to correct this is to delete and rebuild the form fields over and over and over until the error clears.

When importing HEIC image files, the orientation of the picture stored in the metadata is being ignored. This is very annoying, since one has to rotate the image manually each time this is imported.

Fonts only showing in drop down, cannot type them directly in
InDesign 18.5
Issue:
Highlight text
Click on the font Window (mine is displayed on right)
begin to type in installed or adobe font, font does not populateWhen I type in a font, I expect to be able to populate it
Wen I try to finish typing the font in the searchbar, it doesn't let me type in the next letter and just gives me a different font. Some fonts don't show up or do once and never again, yet are in font dropdown. This includes both installed OTC and installed Adobe fonts.

Saving activates the scale tool next time…
I've been encountering this for some time now. Might seem insignificant but can actually hinder workflow. When closing one InDesign file if the modal dialog appears and I hit 'S' on the keyboard to Save (rather than clicking) the next time I open an InDesign file the scale tool has become active. As I never use the scale tool, this can be a bit annoying if I don't spot it straight away

pdf export
Hello.
I've used until 2 weeks ago a CS4 version of Indesign.
Now I have the CC2023.
I've troubles with the pdf export.
The document is always the same, a 720 pages catalogues with Illustrator pictures.
With the CS4, I was able to export 2 pages in around 5 seconds.
With the CC2023, it takes arount 2 minutes, and after that the software don't answer for other 3 minutes.What happens?
Thanks.

V18.4-18.5 Text boxes shrinking fractional and hiding last line of text PLUS then 'over-set text' error message not flagging this problem up
I sent a job to print and after it came back 3 text boxes had shrunk fractionally to hide the last line of text. When I then went to make a press-ready pdf, it didn't flag up this error by warning me of "over-set text", so I did not catch this problem in time.
Please see attached files -
My stage 5 of the document, and then the final artwork file for it, with the boxes highlighted.
I didn't get any warning messages for 'over-set text' to flag this missing text up.

Panel flyout menus do not open on external displays/expanded desktops — they open only on primary display
I keep all of my tool palettes on a secondary monitor on Mac OS (now Sonoma) running the latest version of InDesign.
None of the flyout menus will open when the tool palettes are on a secondary display. However, I find if I drag the tool palette over to my Primary display, the flyout menus work again (until I drag them back to the external display).

Indesign Online Dashboard improvements - Custom URL, Google analytics, Fname direct to send clients
Indesign is hands down the best software to design & create digital brochures with its advanced technology & features its impeccable. HOWEVER talking about the Online Dashboard System its not leading the industry.
I've done my research and a lot of the online digital brochure creator websites are ahead.
I will list below a few new ideas/features I'd love to see Adobe implement to put them back in the lead when it comes to the publishing feature.
(Some of these ideas are already being done by the online companies)<> Custom URL, so it looks more professional to clients rather…

PDF Workflow shows syntax error in exported PDF Version 18.5
I read that there was some Problems with PDF export since InDesign version 18.4. And i want to report that there are still issues with the latest version 18.5. Our Workflow reports syntax error in pdf and aborts procession. Its a full stop, no detailed error messages were shown. The only solution for us is to place the PDF again in older InDesign (17.4) and export a PDF from there.

Wonky text on the Home Screen in InDesign OS Ventura
This has been appearing since I updated to a new Mac Studio and InDesign 18.5 on OS Ventura. The text goes all weird on the Home Screen. I can't read what the document title is. There's been instances where the same file name appears twice also. It's annoying!

Bug ao exportar PDF Interativo
Quando exporto pdf interativo, automaticamente ele insere links em urls, porém, quando a url ocupa duas ou mais linhas, ele insere apenas na primeira linha, tornando o link quebrado e sem funcionalidade. A única forma de resolver isso é colocando manualmente via ferramenta link. Tem com ajustar de forma que o Indesign consiga fazer a varredura do link, verificando se ele realmente funciona e criar automaticamente de forma correta? Obrigado.
