Toolbars and palettes missing on startup
Since upgrading to Ventura I have no toolbars or palettes – the whole workspace in effect – every time I open InDesign. I can always get them back by switching to a different workspace and back but this happens every time I reopen it.
I have reset preferences and caches, reinstalled the software and removed plugins but nothing works.

libraries
I like working with libraries. which are anchored to the side. sometimes when i open indesign, the libraries are gone or messy on my screens.
it is always difficult to find them again, to place them in the quietest. it is an unnecessary waste of time for me and I have to reorient myself again.
i had this problem with all indesign versions so far i haven't complained.1 vote -
With GPU preview page's content vibrates constantly | InDesign 18.2.1
I use InDesign 18.2.1 on a MacBook Pro 2023 (M2 Max) with macOS Ventura 13.2.1. When the GPU preview is enabled, the page's content vibrates constantly. Please check the attached video (I made it by putting my iPhone on a tripod in front of my display because if I start a screen recording, the issue disappears).

Book project list shows warning on recently-saved file
When I open a layout that is part of a book - currently have 24 different chapters in a book format - I make changes and save and close that file. It is saved. The book project palette shows an error symbol. Why? That file was just saved. So I double-click that file, it opens, the warning symbol goes away, I close that file off without needing to save it. Annoying bug needs to go away. Immediately.
Latest version - probably been a bug for a decade or more.
Steps - open file, edit, save, close off, error flag shows…

2023 | Indesign 14.00 (2019) was the last known version to successfully export interactive elements to PDF
A bug with Traditon! Happy Birthday you are four years old.
That since the end of 2019, interactive animated element can no longer output, I had unfortunately recently forgotten (Earlier I had done that more often)! So: Once again I have invested time, things pretty animated, only to realize that the bug still exists!
Say: All these pretty functions are pointless and useless.
They are purely for the optics still there, chic to look at .... but unfortunately not intended for use (something I know with Adobe Illustrator for a long time).The solution Support suggested at the time was…

Workspace not loading on open in 2023
So, today's thing that's broken is when I boot up indesign for the first time of the day all my panels and toolbars are missing. Selecting my workspace doesn't bring them back, I have to select a different workspace, then select mine to bring them back. Does anyone at adobe actually care about Indesign any more? This app has been riddled with bugs now for around 4 years - stuff that's been flagged up years ago still not fixed, like the graphics streaking across the page causing objects to disappear for example

Scrollbar is hidden upon defocusing the InDesign window
Upon defocusing the InDesing window, the scrollbar disappears.
This issue is creating usability problems - working on 2 monitors, clicking on the other monitor to grab some image or text, then trying to return to InDesign by clicking the scrollbar to scroll to the desired position does not work. Instead, randomly clicking the empty scrollbar randomly scrolls to the left or to the right.
Whoever had the idea to hide the scrollbars had a very bad decision. None of known apps are hiding the scrollbar upon defocus, also, hiding the scrollbar has absolutely no benefits, just drawbacks.
Please stop hiding…2 votes -

Unable to Underline Numbering in List
I have been facing an issue while trying to underline the numbering in a list.
I am able to underline the text, but not the numbering.
The character style is also not helping me in this case.

Problem loading font blocks export
It is common that when importing a text from Word or simply activating a new font (I use FontXplorer X Pro) InDesign stays in the activation process infinitely. This unfinished process blocks any export. The solution is to close InDesign.

Conditional texts applied to wrong parts when exported to an idml
- Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server: v17.4.1 x64
2.Steps to reproduce the issues:
Export an Indesign file with conditional text settings as an idml file and open the idml file in the InDesign application.Expected result
Conditional text settings are applied to the same paragraphs and texts as the InDesign file from which the idml was exported.Actual result
Conditional text settings are applied to unexpected paragraphs and texts! Seems like this only happens when one or more of the condition is displayed and does not happens when all the conditions are hidden...

Numbering restarts from 1 after an unnumbered style in exported html
- InDesign 18.1 (since 17.2.1)
- Create a numbered list paragraph, insert a line of a different paragraph style not containing numbers, continue the numbered list on the next line, the number continues from the previous list. Export this file to an html file.
- Expect the number to follow what we see in the InDesign file
- The number restarts from 1 after the inserted line of a different paragraph style
6 votesThis issue has been resolved in the latest version of InDesign 2024(v19.0). Please update to this version of InDesign from Creative Cloud Desktop application to get the fix.

Objects drawn with Pen tool (including paths for text) disappear when placed over Photoshop file—text wrap is NOT the issue.
As a children's book designer, I often type on paths, and almost always place text over images. Everything was fine until InDesign's February 2023 update. Now, anything I draw with a pen tool on my text layer—shapes, or paths for type—are invisible, unless I turn off the image layer below it. Note that text wrap for the image is turned off. Text wrap is not the issue!
Attached are side-by-side screenshots showing my attempts to type on a path. The text disappears when the image layer is turned on. As an experiment, I also drew a random shape with the…

split layout view, copy, paste, undo, paste without formatting, crash
Reproducable crash in InDesign when working in split layout view.
1) move to split layout view
2) copy text from right window
3) Ctrl V in left window
4) Ctrl Z to undo
5) Ctrl-Shift V to paste without formatting
6) crash (the expected result here obviously being InDesign not crashing but pasting the text without formatting).Filed multiple reports from these crashes.
Currently working on PC with Win10 and InDesign 18.2 x64, but this has happened on both Mac and PCs, with 2 different employers as well as privately (and thus 3 different server/hard drive configurations), clean installs as…

Unable to resize textbox from bottom
The Open Type option prevents us to resize the box from the bottom, which is annoying. Please move it slightly off-center. Thank you.

Ventura Indesign file not found
I have a number of files when I double click them to open, I get an error saying "<file name> not found. If I make a copy of the file, I can then open it. I don't know it that's an InDesign issue or a Ventura issue.
Running an Apple M1 Max, with Ventura 13.2.1, and Indesign 18.1
