White Screen on drawing a marquee in CPU and Overprint Preview modes.
Hi,
Since I've updated my mac mini to Sonoma, when I use InDesign, the documents flash every time I click on it. If I click and hold, the screen become completely white. This is very annoying, almost impossible to work.
Please help me!

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 recieve feedback. Now it wont 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!

Gray boxes behind photos in Share for Review
I have been using the new Share for Review for the last little while and am enjoying receiving feedback directly on my documents for import into InDesign. However, I recently went to a published file and noticed that all of the images in my design now have a light gray square behind them. Additionally, the colours and blending on some of the images are all off or look odd. The gray boxes appear on all of my previously uploaded documents, and I've checked from multiple computers and they all appear to show these boxes.

Adobe Caslon Pro: Glyph as bullet does not function
InDesign version 18.2.1 (Windows 10 x64). I would like to use a glyph as a bullet (the opentype digit 3 of Adobe Caslon Pro - an acorn). In the paragraph style box for my "Bulleted list" style, I am trying to add the bullet. When I click "add" and then click "ok," a standard round black dot appears in my list of bullet characters to choose from. If I try to add my preferred glyph (or any of the other opentype glyphs from the font's set, for that matter), the program tells me: "The selected bullet already appears in the…

Opening documents as tabs cannot be deactivated
Always open documents as tabs even if you have not selected this in the settings under User interface -> Open documents as tabs. I need different window sizes and find tabs impractical.

InDesign 2023 (18.0) Screen not refreshing
Half the time or more, page down/up and zoom do not refresh the screen. Attempting to select something just draws the rectangle around nothing. Finally through a variety of erratic body movements, thrashing and random gestures, ID wakes up. This is a huge step backward from v17. Productivity severely hampered.

PDF/X-1a運用において、危険度が高い「画像の配置方法」を発見しましたので報告させていただきます。
Indesign (15.1.3)(16.4)(17.3)などで以下の現象を確認できます。
表を作成し、「セルをグラフィックセルに変換」という機能を使用せずに、空のままのセル内に画像を配置します。
配置方法は、何も選択していない状態で「ファイル」、「配置」、画像を選択して「開く」、配置先のセルをクリックといったものです。
この配置方法でドキュメントを作成し、「プリント」より出力して確認したところ何の問題もありません。
印刷会社へ渡すためのPDF/X-1aを「書き出し」より出力します。
期待する結果としては、「プリント」からの出力結果と同等のPDFが作成されることです。
実結果は、Illustratorのドロップシャドウが黒ベタに、同ぼかし効果が無効に、Photoshopのレイヤマスクが黒ベタになったPDFが作成されてしまいます。

object style override plus-sign when multiple elements selected
Object style made. Works fine.
Multiple items on page need same style. When applied to ONE item, styles menu looks "normal." When applied to multiple items, with items selected, the styles menu shows plus-sign after style name.
All of "clear overrides" options tried. Does not fix. Cannot verify that use of style is correct if styles panel gives false feedback.
In the past, earlier versions, I don't remember ever seeing this apparent conflict.

Anchored text box in a table cell with text threads crashes when cutting
As the title says. It sounds similar to past bugs.
First, create a text box and add a table.
Create a separate, new text box and add a single character in it.
Anchor the text box to any cell in the table.
Enable "Show Text Threads" from the View > Extras menu.
Selecting and attempting to cut the table will lead to a long hang and crash.This is on the latest version of InDesign at the moment, 17.0. I am on Windows 10 20H2 19042.1288. I can verify this occurring on two separate systems.

(2) Create a new empty document
(3) Create a text frame that is 100 mm by 100 mm
(4) Place Text4.txt
(5) Go Type > Story > check Optical Margin AlignmentExpected result:

WorldReady settings go missing in [Basic Paragraph] style
Adobe InDesign (ME) 2021, 2020, CC 2019, ..., CS6
macOS and WindowsInDesign's WorldReady settings (Paragraph Direction, Kashidas, etc.) are being stripped from a document's [No Paragraph Style] style when opened on a machine with a missing 3rd-party plug-in (like Em Software's InCatalog). This appears to happen with any 3rd-party plug-in that adds a text attribute with a prefix that's lower than the WorldReady plug-in's prefix. While the following steps use the Middle Eastern app (English Arabic), where there's a UI to see the style's empty/blank WorldReady entries, we've confirmed that this problem affects all app variants (including English (Roman)).

Serious GREP style bug: ampersands
Hi, InDesign team.
I've run into a serious bug with GREP styles. Any GREP expression containing an ampersand character that is entered as a GREP style in a paragraph style will suddenly acquire additional ampersands whenever I scroll through the list of GREP styles.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Create a simple GREP style as part of a paragraph style.
The entire GREP expression should consist of the single character &. (Though this also happens when the & is part of longer expressions.)
Make enough other GREP styles that you need to scroll in the window to see them all.

GREP search failed to match all text in a story
We use to be able to search all text in a story by using this (?s).+ code. It’s working fine in CS6. But in CC2019, 2020, and 2021 on both Mac and Windows it will fail to select all text in the story if there is more than ~ 50000 character. Only the first ~ 50000 will be selected.
This might be related to an old bug that was introduced in 14.0.2 that was fixed in 14.0.3.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document with one story containing more than 50000 characters
2. Do a GREP Find using (?s).+A…
