1. InDesign Server removes locks from locked layers during opening the document

   Hi,

   We ran into to the following issue on InDesign Server: after opening, saving and closing a document that contains layers that are locked, these layers become unlocked.

   The issue is reproducible on InDesign Server 16.4.0, 16.4.1, 17.0.0.

   The issue is not reproducible with version 15.x and 16.0.0, so it must have been introduced in InDesign Server 16.2.1 or 16.4.0.

   Scenario (on IDS 16.4.1):

   1. InDesign: create a document ‘~/Desktop/local2021.indd’

   2. Create 3 layers

   3. Lock all layers

   4. Save and close the document

   5. Run the script below on InDesign Server 2021 (16.4.1),

   ---

   targetengine "session"

   function main()
   {
   try {
   var docFile = new File("~/Desktop/local2021.indd");
   var doc = app.open( docFile );
   doc = doc.save( docFile);
   doc.close(SaveOptions.YES)
   } catch (error) {
   alert( "message: name =[" + error.name + "]; message = [" + error.message + "];" );
   }
   }

   main();

   ---

   (6). Open the document again in InDesign

   → the layer locks are gone!

   The same scenario is reproducible on InDesign Server 17.0.0.

   We found that the removal of the locks from the layers happen during the opening of the document.
   Evidently, the locks on the layers should remain untouched when opening a document in InDesign Server.

   We reported this issue directly to Adobe. It's known as #ID-4228851.

   regards,

   Carlo

2. scroll arrows missing

   Here is a new bug in InDesign 2022
   This bug didn't exist in InDesign 2019
   Here isi it :
   In OBJECT menu > Object's layers options :
   The small window doesn't have scroll arrows anymore. They are very usefull to scroll the list screen per screen.
   Now, ther is only a vertical scroll cursor and it isn't precise at all : impossible to use with a list of 40, 50 layers.

   The window should be resizable too please.
   Thank you for reading

3. Switch off UI scaling feature in ID v17

   @Adobe programming team:

   Please add a switch that let the user decide to turn on or switch off the UI feature invented in ID v17. Please see attached screenshot (german version).

   Reason: Users with a Windows scaling factor above 100% can no longer display all panels because they overlap and are way to big. No lower scaling possible, only higher.
   ID misinterprets that the user has high-DPI monitors when using a scaling factor of e.g. 125%.
   Alternatively, the scaling range could be extended having additional lower "stops".

   It was no problem to display panels in the correct size in ID 16.4 before the new feature was added. Can't work with ID v17 since a bunch of weeks and had to rollback to 16.4.

   Please ask the programming team if such a switch can be added in an upcoming update. Myself and sure a lot of other Windows users don't need the feature or it's not working correctly like in my case.

   Thanks,
   Regards

4. space bar and tab bugs

   InDesign 17.1 is impossible to use with macOS 12.2.1 Monterey.
   Using the space bar puts the document in the dock. Using the tab freezes the document.

5. cells selection

   Bug 1:

   See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.
   Make a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.
   Merge the first 2 cells of the first row.
   Now you have 2 cells in the first row. (A and B).
   Set the contents of other cells to C, D, E, F, G, H.
   Now select cells B, D and E.
   If you click on the Edit menu, InDesign crash.
   If you choose File -> Export, InDesign crash.
   On the scripting side, calling document.selection throw an exception and it is not possible to get the current selection.

   Bug 2:
   See "Table 2" in the provided screenshot.
   Make a table with 2 columns and 4 rows.
   Split the second cells of the first row.
   Now you have 3 cells on the first row.
   Set the contents of the cells to numbers from 1 to 9.
   Now select cells 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (skip cell 3).
   Run this code:

   var doc = app.activeDocument;
   var selectedCells = doc.selection[0].cells;

   var i, ilen, contents = [];

   for (i = 0, ilen = selectedCells.length; i < ilen; i++) {
   contents.push(selectedCells[i].contents);
   }

   alert(contents.join('-'));

   expected result: 1-2-4-5-6-7-8-9
   current result: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (cell 3 is not part of the selection, cell 9 is missing).

   Applescript and VBscript don't have this problem, only ExtendScript.
   This happens with all versions of InDesign.

   This bug was already reported over a year ago (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/41451565-script-selection-on-merged-row-makes-indesign-cr)

   Please fix as soon as possible!!!!

   why is it not possible to upload .indd files? You are talking about InDesign bugs and it is not possible to provide a .indd file???? Why???

7. Slow creation of PDF low-res

   In addition to the problem I posted regarding a conflict between ID and Windows 11, I did resolve that by moving to an earlier release of ID. However, the creation of the low-res PDF now consumed the time it normally takes to produce a high-res print-ready export. Something is going on with ID 17.1.

8. Chinese character page number rule needs to following Chinese grammar

   Chinese page number grammar after 10 is not following Chinese grammar.
   For example, page 21 in Chinese is written as 第二十一页, instead of 第二一页.

   It's horrifying seeing Chinese is been butched likt this.

9. uneven / unlevel pages side by side in spread

   2 uneven pages left right 16, 17 in a document of 64 pages in spread of same double master page spread.

   only 2 in whole doc.

   mac os x mojave 10.14.6 indesign cc 16.01 (adobe rep told me this is the only version that works w/mojave and my late 2015 imac 5k)
   i finally resolved by adding 2 new blank pages ahead of those 2, (applied master), copy pasting the content to those 2 new pages (singe spread), then deleting the original wonky pages.

   I didn't want to take a chance the spread was transmitted wrong to the printer even thought it was probably only a visual glitch/bug.

10. Shared CC Library

    The WHOLE purpose of a "SHARED CC LIBRARY" is to be able to keep a single and universal source of truth for EVERY element within the library across all uses of the element – on all files.

    There is an issue achieving this.

    When I add an illustrator file to the CC Shared Library from within Indesign, and I go to edit that element, it:

    Opens a new InDesign file, where you can make the change,
    save the change, and the change is displayed on the thumbnail of the shared element, and does in fact update the shared element.

    HOWEVER....

    It does not update the element displayed on the InDesign file you're working on!

    If The same illustrator file is added to the shared library FROM Illustrator directly, then when you double click on that element in the shared library from within InDesign, it will open IN Illustrator where you can make your changes, and when you save it, it also AUTOMATICALLY updates every instance where that element is used across ALL shared files.

    This doesn't;t make any sense. It should not matter how you add the element to the library, IF the library accepts the element.

    There is another glitch that even makes this more confusing.

    If I have multiple items on a page in InDesign, and I group them together and drag the group over to the CC Shared library, The Library "accepts" the group.

    Then, when you double click the element, it opens a new page in InDesign.

    when you go to edit the text in InDesign – Text that was created FROM INDESIGN, and save your change, it updates the Library element BUT does not update any instance where that is used.

    Again, this doesn't make any sense and seems to defeat the purpose of storing universal items in the library.

    The WHOLE purpose of a "SHARED CC LIBRARY" is to be able to keep a single and universal source of truth for EVERY element within the library across all uses of the element – on all files.

    There is an issue achieving this.

11. Accessibility square bullet issue

    Document is set up following Accessibility guidelines, but instead of round bullets, we used square ones, colored red. All set up correctly using paragraph/character styles. When we use the read out loud voice in Acrobat, it reads "Black Square". A quick search found others with the same issue, with no work around. I should be able to define the square as a bullet, so that Acrobat would know, but even though the bullet is set up in character styles, the reader doesn't see it that way... and it gets the color wrong... though I'd rather it read simply "Bullet."

12. Creating a new Cross Reference - Automatic select [All Paragraphs]

    When creating a new Cross Reference entry, the windows that pop automatically pick [All Paragraphs] and in document with many table or lots of text frame, this can take very, very.... long time before the window popup.

    This was introduced with CC 18.1 and is still the case up to now with CC22 (17.1).

    It was ok with CC20017.

    I have been reporting this behavior since April 2019 and for each release.

13. Publication Analytics

    We need reliable analytics on epublished documents to show to our clients. Over time we update the documents and for some mysterious reason the "Originally Published" date is wrong. How am I supposed to know if the numbers are from the update I made a week ago or or from our first publishing last september. And no... There are no dublicates of that document.

14. Menu bar gets stuck - Indesign on M1 Pro mac

    On a regular basis the pull down menus in Indesign will stop reacting properly: Clicking menu item will select the topic (screenshot 1), but not pull down the menu. A second click AND hold will pull down the menu, but all the sub-menus remain unavailable, they will not pull out. The issue is persisent: Restarting Indesign does not fix it once it starts occuring, but restarting the computer will fix it. The issue may be OS related, but it only occurs in Indesign, and only on my M1 Pro computer, not my older Intel mac.

    The issue usually occurs after Indesign crashes, something which unfortunately happens multiple times a day using Indesign on M1 Pro. Having to restart the computer multiple times a day has not happened to me since the days of OS 9. I am using a couple of plugins in Indesign, which may contribute to crashes, but I also have an Intel Mac with the same version of Indesign, and the same plugins, and am having no such issues there.

15. language quote typographer

    I create epubs which contain different languages so need the language correctly attributed on xhtml files after exporting –

    selecting different languages in different paragraph styles affects typographer's (curly) quotes/straight quotes – I'd expect the to follow the app preferences setting –

    Advanced Character Formats > Language > [No Language] = gives straight quotes

    Advanced Character Formats > Language > English: UK = gives typographer's quotes (curly)

    Advanced Character Formats > Language > cy_GB = Welsh = gives straight quotes

17. Workspace disappear when opening some files

    I am currently on the latest version of ID (17.1) on a PC. I noticed that on a number of occasions, when double clicking an ID file (while ID is initially closed) it launches to a screen without any panels. Only the top menu is available. Checking the Workspaces options, it shows that non of the workspaces is chosen. Only when selecting any workspace that panels appear.
    Not sure if this is a bug or if I am missing a particular setting that would have it default to a particular workspace.
    Any assistance will be very much appreciated.

18. Indesign 2022 (17.1.0.50) IDLK file does not lock

    This problem was recently flagged as resolved, but despite the newest InDesign and MacOS versions it is still possible for two users to open the same Indesign file. We are working on a network volume over SMB and it is possible for my colleague to open the same file I am working with. The *.idlk file was generated by the first user, but it is not recognized by the second Indesign user and sometimes subsequently just disappears.

    I also tried to reproduce this issue with Indesign 2020 but all worked just as expected.

19. InDesign 17.1 generating enormous PDF

    I am a book designer and have been using InDesign for years. Just upgraded to 17.1 and finding its exporting massive PDF of a simple text file (60 page novel - no images, no colour, no charts, no graphics...just black text on a white page). I cant get it below 18mb using 'Smallest File Size' which is ridiculous. Previously this would have been 1 to 2 mb. Can you fix this please?

20. Review: Previous feedback is no longer displayed in previous file version

    Previous feedback is no longer displayed in previous file version! This is extremely tedious when checking the files, because even if you make a copy of the file and assign a new review link to it, your colleagues cannot compare the corrections with their comments. Likewise, I cannot check whether I have received the feedback with the subsequently marked errors and thus adopted them.
