Adjust Layout Options - retain object adjustment but lock ruler guides in place
When ruler guides are locked and the option to adjust locked content is deselected, the guides still move proportional to the margins. There needs to be an option to treat ruler guides as objects are treated, where it's possible to actually lock the ruler guides in place while still utilizing Adjust Layout.

Add transparency option to paragraph shading
Paragraph shading is super nice, but a lot of people would like to have them a little transparent over images. I know there is a option for overprinting, but this also change the color and is not a real transparency. Without this option it has to be done manually on each element.
So please add this additional feature to the settings. Thx

Issue with Right clicker users and selecting anything from any menu that requires them to scroll
Hi
We have 2 Indesign users who users the right click on their mouse as their primary button.
Both have been having issues when going to swatches for example and they have to scroll to select a swatch, when the mouse cursor moves the selection moves with it.
We have done these things to try to resolve the issue without any luck.
- For the first user we gave her a brand new laptop with Windows 11, and installed a fresh install of Indesign 2023, but still has the same issue.
- The second user is using Windows 10, we…0 votes -

tool panel/character panel disappears
Since INDesign 2023 my tool bar and character panels occasionally disappear. When I click out of the app and then come back to it later. They aren't there. When I go to the Window menu, I can get them back, but this is happening a few times a day and is an annoyance.
Never had that in 15 years of InDesign.
p.s. It happened once in Photoshop too!

Wrong hyphenation Spanish
Indesign 2023 Spanish hyphenation is wrong.
Some words starting with "des-" are hyphenated after "des-" and should be hyphenated after "de-". Example of right hyphenation:
- desempeño > de - sem - pe - ño
- desagradecido> de - sa -gra - de - ci -do
- destilar> des - ti - lar
This problem has appeared in last versions of indesign.

Buttons do not work in Indesign
Certain buttons aren't working in Indesign. E.g. I can't click into the preflight panel, or the pop-up comes up for a millisecond, too fast for me to click into it. This is happening with the Preflight panel, the 'align to' button in the Alignment panel, and other toggles like it. Incredibly frustrating. I've tried restarting but the issue persists.

PDFs Export to Google Drive as 0 Bytes, for Anyone on MacOS Ventura
Sometime in approximately late January 2023, my workgroup began having difficulty exporting PDFs from InDesign to our Google Drive. The PDF files appear on the Drive but as 0 bytes and can't be opened/viewed from the Chrome side of the Drive. We have isolated the problem as specific to anyone who is on MacOS Ventura. We believe the problem stems from a late January/early February upgrade to either the Google Drive, InDesign or Ventura (or perhaps a perfect storm combo of all three). We have 8 InDesign users in our workgroup and only the three who upgraded to Ventura are…

Pages panel thumbnail resolution
When InDesign 2022 (17.0) came out, the resolution of the thumbnails in the Pages panel was lowered, even with Display Performance set to High Quality Display. It's not just the greeking of the text. I can see the pixels themselves.
This forces me to still have to use InDesign 2021 so that I can see the contents of the pages in the thumbnails.
Screenshots posted for comparison.

Color Picker causes InDesign to Crash
Every time I try to use the eyedrop Color Picker tool in InDesign it causes InDesign to crash and close. It will not allow me to drag the eyedropper to pick up a color, and if I try to drag the eyedropper it makes the color box freeze to where I cannot click "Ok" or "Cancel" and I need to press the "Esc" button on my keyboard to get out of the color box. Shortly after closing the color box, InDesign will crash and close. I have tried updating InDesign to the newest version, turning on/off my computer multiple times,…
7 votesIf you are still seeing this crash happening in InDesign, please do the following:
- do a screen recording
- attach a test file
- mention the OS version, InDesign version.
Put the screen recording and test file in a shared drive and share the location of the same with us.

Don't provide the GPU Performance menu for Windows
It's outrageous that a giant corporation doesn't have support to GPU Performance for windows, when we sign the creative cloud plan doesn't shows that works differently in each operational system. Please, develop this functionality as soon as possible!!
