Multiple copy paste functions
I have been using the Indesign program for a long time. He has made very good progress. This is what I expect from you. We can only paste one copy with the copy paste command. It would be great if it could copy multiple texts separately. For example, when copy-pasting 3 or 5 different texts, you need to do each one by one. It would be much more practical if we could copy them all and name them like copy 1 copy 2 copy 3 and paste 1 paste 2 paste 3 options while pasting. I wish you good luck…

print booklet inside bleed bug
when exporting using "print PDF", there is a problem with the inside bleed. i think it is because the export booklet referts to left-right bleed instead of inside-outside.
if i set inside bleed-inside to 0, the pdf booklet is exported without the left bleed. if i set bleed-inside to 5mm then it exports with a bleed-left.
this is a bug

Ghost hyperlinks can't be fixed
With placed Word text, I often have 'ghost hyperlinks', meaning I need there's no active hyperlink in the text but I'm not allowed to select that text and add a hyperlink – 'New hyperlink' is greyed out.
Double-clicking the paragraph inspires this message: "all corrupt hyperlinks in the selected text have been removed," but I'm still unable to add a hyperlink. The only fix I've found is to cut the text, paste it in another app, copy and re-paste it into ID as fresh 'uncorrupted' text.
Cutting all relevant paragraphs makes ID crash.
Of course this is a real hassle,…

macOS menu bar covers InDesign title bar (multi-screen setup)
When running multiple screens connected to my MacBook Pro (14-inch, M1 Pro), InDesign's title bar will frequently get stuck under the macOS menu bar on the built-in screen, making it impossible to move the window either to another screen or within the built-in screen. I have to arrange the screens so the built-in screen is slightly above the others (even though it's below them physically) to get the title bar visible so I can move it.
Interestingly, this phenomenon only occurs on the built-in screen. It's likely that InDesign doesn't know how to handle the macOS menu bar being taller…

WordsFlow
When deciding against using WordsFlow plugin by EmSoftware, not renewing from trial license, it continued not only to be on the main FILE menu but it also is preventing normal (InDesign) placing of graphic files into InDesign files by a popup window asking for license renewal information. If I cancel that window, it cancels the PLACE... operation. In other words, WordsFlow does not extricate itself from the program even if no longer using and registered AND after uninstalling from the Windows APP utility, BUT it continues to interfere with normal InDesign operation.

Linked files cannot be found
Until the end of 2022, it was possible to share / exchange files and documents with linked files via Creative Cloud to edit them on another PC. We could copy, save, and modify the files and folders in any way. As long as the file linked to the document was in the same folder, it was no problem. After updating the data source, all the links were there. Since the beginning of 2023 with the 2023 version, this is no longer possible. InDesign always refers to missing images and the data path is always the originating PC where the file…

Paragraph Border rendering is filled in black -- randomly.
For two years now, paragraphs with double lines and a fill between the lines render as solid black randomly when building PDF output for printing. It's usually the first paragraph border that is rendered incorrectly, and if the PDF is recreated again and again, eventually an error-free PDF is produced.
See attached screencap.
All versions of InDesign, including the latest as of March 28 2023.

Window Resizing Bug
InDesign 18.2.1 on MacOS 12.3.1 (have been having the same issue for the past few ID updates)
When application frame is turned off so that document windows float, document windows cannot be resized as expected. When dragging one edge, other sides of the window resize themselves – example .mov attached.

Why is it so hard to handle type on a path in InDesign?
Why is it so hard to handle type on a path in InDesign?
At present is it clumsy, inarticulate and frequently unresponsive. You often can't select the path the type sits on.
As an example, try putting type on a circle. It is hard to centre and only sits at the top. It's quite common to want type on the bottom of a circle too, especially if you are creating a sort of stamp design.
In the old days of Freehand, which you own, all you had to do was specify centre, type away, and for text on the bottom…2 votes -
font menu scroll is jumpy and unresponsive on M1 MBP 16" / MacOS 13
Bug: Scrolling the font menu in indesign is jumpy and somewhat unresponsive at times on M1 MacBook Pro / MacOS 13.
It's hard to illustrate with video recording, so I do hope you test this.

IOS picking up URL in plain Text
Creating a QR using the "Plain Text" option, to generate a note when scanned. There are a few URL's within the plain text. Android phones are picking up the QR code as intended, opening a note on their phone. However, iPhones are picking up the first URL in the plain text, despite it being 1/3 of the way down the text. It doesn't matter what the URL is. Third party cameras and Android cameras work fine, iOS cameras don't.

Clustered QR Code
The QR codes are very clustered making them nearly impossible to scan. It would be helpful to have a QR Styles option or more options for editing the density of the QR code. It would also be great to have ability to add a Logo or image to the center of a QR code.

Publish Online Cover Thumbnail does NOT work when posting to social
Publish Online Cover Thumbnail does NOT work. No cover thumbnail appears when posted to social or sent via text message. I have tried using the first page of the publish online document as well as an independent image. Just a blank unappealing link appears for the post/text.
This is disappointing and needs to be fixed.
