Swatches panel missing options at the bottom
The swatches panel usually has buttons for "New swatch", "Delete Swatch" etc at the bottom. These are missing since the latest Indesign update.

doc:1, doc:10, doc:101, doc:2, doc:21
instead of normal number order
doc:1, doc:2, doc:10, doc:21, doc.101.Indesign 18.4

Tools are now blocking me from being able to close open documents in InDesign
Since updating to the newest version: V 18.5 the tools bar is now blocking the name and the ability to close down the first document. For accessibility reasons, I need the toolbar to remain on the left without blocking access to the document.

Gradient Panel and Color Panel missing all options
After using InDesign 18.5 for some time the options for adjusting color in the Color Panel and Gradient Panel go away. This can be fixed by resetting the user preferences/settings (hold shift/cntrl/option/command while opening Indesign). This fix is only temporary and eventually the options disappear again. This is driving me nuts!

InDesign Tool Flyout Menu on Wrong Monitor
I am working in InDesign 18.5.0.57 on a 2019 MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.3.1.
I have three external monitor, two 24-in. DELL monitors, and one 25-in. ASUS monitor, configured as InDesign-Tool-Flyout-01.jpg shows.My problem is the InDesign tool flyout menus popup on my laptop screen rather than the center upper monitor as shown in InDesign-Tool-Flyout-02.jpg
I know that the flyout menu can show up on the center upper monitor because it has in the past. This problem showed up after upgrading to OS 13 and InDesign 18. This has happened to before with InDesign 17, but was solved -- I…

Share for Review is very buggy
In InDesign lately when I Share for Review the following things happen often:
1. InDesign thinks that the document I've shared (and for which I've received feedback) is NOT shared. I know it is.
2. I can no longer highlight a comment and copy it to paste it into the actual document.
3. When I click on a comment it will take me to a page/spread but there's no pin/highlighted text/etc. to inform me where on the spread the change needs to be implemented.
4. I get a message that InDesign "cannot load comments" no matter how many times or…3 votes -

Copy and Paste from Share for Review Comments panel not working
You used to be able to copy/paste directly from the REVIEW panel COMMENT when you receive feedback. Now it won't allow you to copy what someone has reviewed and suggested as replacement text. This is very important as it makes it much more efficient to copy it from within InDesign rather than swapping between screens to do it from the browser. Please can you fix this! Thank you!

InDesign won't quit
Since the update to v18.5, InDesign won't quit after working on a document. If I simply just open the program and won't open or create any document, it closes perfectly. But once a document is created or opened, the program itself won't quit afterwards and just sits/hangs there requiring force quit.
Resetting the preferences and dumping the caches didn't help either. Running Win 11 Pro x64. Nothing else is changed except ID got updated yesterday to v18.5.
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall because it's not a 'major' issue - just posting here so it's known and hopefully they…

A simple visual Notificacion of the depending preformatted Styles
As I highlight a character or Paragraph style, I would like to see a bullet on the left side of each style who is based on the currently highlighted style in the Style box.
So I would not forget to verify some consecuences of the dependent changes on each of the dependent styles.1 vote -
Ability to create shortcuts with double or triple letter: For ex CTRL-f f f
It would be great to memorize shortcuts wo referrs to similar function:
Here a simple example, just to understand:
Ctrl -S =save, Ctrl-S-S (double click on S) =Save as, and Ctrl-S-S-S = Save for web
or:
Ctrl -S =save, Ctrl-S-A (Rapid click S, thanA) =Save as, and Ctrl-S-W = Save for web1 vote -
The shortcut for “Apply default fill and stroke color” doesn’t work as expected.
InDesign 18.5
MacOS 12.6.8To reproduce the issue:
Change the definition of your [Basic Graphic Frame] Style (say Black Fill, No Stroke).
Draw an object, then press the D keyboard shortcut (set to “Apply default fill and stroke color”).
Expected result: [Basic Graphic Frame] style is applied to the object (Black Fill, No Stroke).
Actual result: “No Fill, 1 pt Black Stroke” is applied instead. Impossible to change the definition of “Default Fill and Stroke” applied.1 vote -
Shadow Style
Would it be possible to create a shadow style? It would be really helpful to be able to create the shadow you need, and then to be able to quickly apply it across a document(s).

When a comment is made in a PDF using the Insert Text tool, that comment doesn't map to ID 18.5 and previous versions.
For the past month or so the insert text comments made in a PDF do not map to the InDesign doc. I'm getting comments from multiple users. All other mark-up is mapping as expected except insert text. I update ID every time a new version is released but this bug seems to be persistent.

Black Backgrounds When Copying PNG from Web to Indesign (Return of Bug)
This is a recurring bug that was solved in a few past updates, but, it's back in InDesign V. 18.5.
When you copy a transparent background PNG from Google Images (or any website) and paste it into InDesign, it will display a black box as the background.
If you paste the same image into Photoshop, copy that, paste it into InDesign, it will not show the black background.
This was working 100% flawlessly over the last year, but, is now broken in this new version on multiple Macs. Tried different browsers. Reset preferences, same issue.
This was a bug that…

export, printing
I am unable to export or print a document through InDesign 2023. I have no errors in the document, but whenever I try to export the document (which is 113 pages long and has quite a number of images throughout), it just says "Failed to Export PDF File", but gives no reason for why this happened. I do get a pop-up window before the one that says the document failed to export and the pop-up says that some links for either files or hyperlinks are not accessible. I have removed all hyperlinks and all the images are linked properly. Also,…
