1. Type tool still lags when hitting the (T) shortcut key

   Hi, the type key short cut bug seems to have been fixed but when you hit the shortcut to bring up the type tool it is still very laggy. Any thought on this?

   When disabling character in the settings it is instant. But i don't want to keep having to do this.

   Thanks,

2. Create Merged Document causes Indesign to hang and crash

   2. Steps to reproduce the issues: Select Data Source in Data Merge panel options Assign data placement field in document's master page Click "Create Merged Document..." in Data Merge panel options
   3. Expected result: InDesign should insert data from selected source document and create new pages for all records.
   4. Actual result: Source document is imported correctly, and preview in Data Merge panel displays correct data, but when I click "Create Merged Document..." in Data Merge panel options it cause Indesign to hang, the application stops responding and I need to Force Quit.

3. Share for review automatically loads when opening a file

   I have am using version 16.4. Every time that I open a file, a Share for Review pops up on the screen. I have NEVER shared an InDesign document for review with this feature. Even if I click it away, as soon as I open another document (2 files now open), the Share for Review pops up again. How do I stop this from loading every single time? I just want to get to my documents without any slow down, and am frustrated that I can't find anything in any of the menus to turn this off.

5. Review Link Lost

   I found a bug with the latest Indesign v.16.4.

   STEPS:

   1. Review link from my indesign file created.

   2. Editors made comments on the review file.

   3. Two months later - opening the source Indesign file the review link was lost. The file did not retain a review link was already generated and asked to establish another one.

   ---

   NOTE: No adjustments where made to the file and no comments where ported over to the original source file. It simply forgot the link association.

6. Workspace reverts to Essential every time a document opens

   Hi there, I'm having an issue where every document that I open reverts the workspace to Essential. Is there a way to set this to my desired setting and make it stick. I've scoured the forums and tried everything mentioned from clearing caches and preferences to uninstalling and reinstalling. I've set the workspace with no documents open and closed and reopened the app but it just reverts back to Essential when I open a new/existing document. 
   Please help! This is driving me crazy as I have to do it every time I open a document. 
   I'm on an iMac (2020) with InDesign 16.4.
   Thanks

7. Layer visibility toggle should indicate mixed visibility status of sub layers

   InDesign V 16.4, Current Creative Cloud as of 2021-11-14.
   Currently - The top Layer visibility icon (within the layers palette) does not indicate a mixed visibility status of sub layers.
   I have a rather complex layer set in a document I'm working on where I have master pages with master pages based on other master pages and linked objects within the document.
   I just spent over an hour trying to locate a hidden object. I incorrectly assumed that, when looking at the layers palette, with all the layer stacks closed (layer list contracted where only the top level was shown) that the visibility icon would indicate there was mixed visibility of all layers within that stack or they would all be visible or all would be off.
   When a layer is visible you have an eye icon showing. If the layer is not visible there is nothing. If the layer has sub layers where some are visible and some are hidden each level above and within the same layer stack should have an icon like an eye with a cross out or an X, Therefore when the layer stack is closed you know some of it's sub layers may be visible and some maybe hidden. When the top layer visibility is toggled there are indications for the lower levels as to there independent status and that is great but it should work in reverse as well.
   This concept should also be carried out on the locking toggle as well.

8. Transparency issue when placing from CC Library

   Transparent items and graphics that have been saved into the CC library for YEARS that when placed into InDesign would place with those transparency settings and no issues.

   NOW I've updated to Adobe 2021 and suddenly those graphics that have been saved in there for years and even very recently before the update, are now placing into InDesign with white backgrounds. This seems to be a problem for many users.

   This is causing so many headaches and I don't know how to fix this for hundreds of graphics saved in various CC libraries. So far, the only fix I've found is exporting them all on seperate dartboards as transparent PNGs and then placing them all into an InDesign doc and THEN uploading them all to the CC library. Not an efficient or pleasant use of my time.

   I'm hoping this can be fixed ASAP. Or someone can tell me how to uninstall the 2021 version and reinstall the 2020 version as it can do the most basic of functions.

9. Data merge Unicode not working

   Hi everyone,

   I'm experimenting some issue with data merge.
   When I try to import a CSV file using Unicode UTF-8 (I'm using Apple Number to do that) inDesign simply ignored encodage and brought many undesirable characters to my import.
   I tried to fix that enabling option when importing CSV file, but if I change from ASCII to Unicode nothing happens.

10. Disable automatic sect-tags on PDF export

    When exporting a tagged PDF, InDesign automatically creates Sect-Tags for each story. I would like to be able to disable this feature on export for the following reasons:

    1. As far as I know, they are of limited value for screen reader users. The content is usually already well structured by means of an appropriate heading structure.
    2. It is very difficult to integrate figures into a story in a semantically correct/meaningful way. When anchoring them in the text, they will be nested in p-tags, which is according to PDF/UA not correct semantically. Hence, I avoid creating stories and use the article panel for setting up the reading order. This makes the sect-tags very redundant though.
    3. Often, pre-edits of the tagging in Acrobat Pro are necessary. All those Sect-tags bloat up the tagging tree unnecessarily and obfuscate the actual tagging structure. I want to be able to see heading and p tags without expanding large amounts of Sect-tags.

    For these reasons, I suggest to add a checkbox "Disable automatic creation of sect-tags" on export for interactive PDF.

11. Two finger trackpad zoom in OSX is broken

    I use Option + Two Finger Up Or Down on the track pad to zoom in InDesign.

    While it seems to zoom in fine, it almost never zooms out properly. Often when I try and zoom out it zooms in further.

    This behaviour works just fine in other Adobe apps such as Illustrator.

    I'm running Mac OSX Catalina 10.15.7 on a 2019 16" Macbook Pro.

12. Fonts' OpenType features not working in Composite fonts in InDesign

    When using any Hebrew font in InDesign, the diacritics (nikuds) are displayed in their correct location. This location is set within the fonts by using OpenType features such as ccmp (for glyph substitution) and mark (for glyph positioning). InDesign recognizes and applies these features.

    When this font is used as part of a Composite font in InDesign, the result is quite different. It seems like the ccmp feature is honored but the mark feature is not.

    The diacritics shift and the length of the text increases. Some of this fluctuation can be mitigated by Diacritics Position feature in InDesign however this feature only works on a paragraph level and applies the correction to ALL diacritics uniformly whereas the whole point of the OpenType feature is to adjust diacritics on a character level.

13. keyboard shortcuts not working

    2017 iMac Retina 5K 27", running Big Sur 11.5.2, InDesign 2021.

    Suddenly, without warning or explanation certain keyboard shortcuts have stopped working.

    The T shortcut to change to type tool flicks to type tool and then back to original tool (eg Selection tool).

    Hand tool on space bar does not work and zoom on space bar + cmd does not work.

    For some time now, you can't hide ID when there are no documents open by using cmd–H.

    I have been using ID since almost the very beginning and these have always worked. As I'm paying a monthly sub for this very expensive but necessary software you need to get it right every time before release. These are shortcuts that I use as second nature but are now for some reason faulty.

    This isn't really an idea, it's a complaint.

14. publish online mobile

    InDesign 16.4

    When i publish a document using 'publish online' it doesn't work correctly on mobile. When you first load it up on mobile the navigation bar at the bottom is there, but if you click anything on the page the navigation bar disappears. This then means you can't navigate through the rest of the brochure.

    I've tried this on multiple mobile browsers including Chrome, Edge & Brave and the same happens on each.

    This is a major issue for us as a lot of people will want to view this document on mobile.

    I've attached a couple of screenshots

    Thanks

15. Stalling

    Within the last couple weeks, Indesign has been acting very glitchy for me. I've never had these problems before, but when I open a document the application seems to stall for a bit. This is happening in all my documents (so it isn't one file that is the issue). Indesign doesn't ever crash, but seems to get hung up within the first couple minutes of use.

17. Nested anchored tables are tagged as artifacts in PDF

    1. Adobe InDesign, v.16.4
    2. Create three text frames, with a table in the third. Anchor the frame with the table into the second frame, then anchor the second frame into the first. Style and create Articles for an accessible PDF. Export to an Interactive PDF.
    3. Table would appear tagged and in same order as it was anchored in the INDD file.
    4. Table is set as an artifact and does not appear in the tag tree at all.

19. Stylistic Sets do not work alongside feature variations

    Hi there! There seems to be a bug when applying OpenType Stylistic Sets to fonts that have feature variations. This has occurred with multiple fonts produced by me and colleagues, so I have made a simplified test font that you can use to duplicate the issue.

    A summary of the issue is below, and you can find full documentation and the test files here: https://github.com/djrrb/Italic-Alternates-Test

    Version of Adobe InDesign: InDesign 16.2.1

    Steps to reproduce the issues:
    - select variable font with feature variation
    - use variable font slider or select named instance to apply feature variation
    - apply opentype stylistic set that affects same glyph as feature varation

    Expected result: Alternate glyphs from Stylistic Sets are applied to font.

    Actual result:
    - Selecting alternates from tooltip does nothing
    - Applying stylistic set to selection does nothing
    - Contextual menu says “OpenType properties are not available” even though they are

    (This seems like a distinct issue from
    https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/43153443-variable-fonts-feature-variations-not-working but perhaps they are somehow related.)

    Many thanks!

20. Paragraph border/ shading error with anchored objects

    when anchored objects (such as column Text or line numbers) are anchored in a Text using the options "Paragraph border" and "paragraph Shading" the borders and Shades will "randomly" disappear, or new border-lines will appear (when more then one paragraphs are merged, the lines always appear between the different styles, even though they work fine again when the object is de-anchored). Sometimes the appearance doesn't change when an object is anchored, but when the anchored object is edited (for example, when the size of the anchored object is changed).

    This is reproducable on my Windows 10, using InDesign 15.1.4.

    The problem also sometimes appears when an object is anchored in a text using Paragraph border/ shading, when text anywhere else in the same story is edited.

    This issue continues to be seen in a PDF, which makes it really hard to have a stable document using this paragraph style options.
