Indesign is unusable
Since the last update Indesign is barely usable. It crashes 10 times a day and with no explanation. Changing fonts, placing objects, updating graphics, all seem to cause it to crash. Suitcase is also causing problems with Adobe fonts which I can't seem to resolve. This is by far the worst update to Indesign that has come out. Forget adding new features, fix the problems with the program first so it is at least usuable.

object export options does not open
Click on Object export options (I assigned ALT+E) does not respond either from shortcut key or from menu, therefore unable to assign alternative text, any structure instructions for export to accessible pdf. Using latest version and only a problem since new licence deal signed with NSW DPI.

Object→Object Export Options: EPUB tab:

Optical kerning too wide between apostrophe and lowercase d
I'm using InDesign 17.1 but I believe this is a longstanding bug. When using optical kerning, the visual distance between an apostrophe and a lowercase d is too wide. I'm attaching a screenshot with examples using I'd, She'd, and Who'd. The upper version of each one uses optical kerning, while the lower version is where I have manually adjusted the kerning to something more like it should be. I also include examples of the pleasing optical kerning shown by other apostrophe-letter pairs.
Most relevant is the apostrophe s combination. The lowercase s has an upper left curve similar to the…

object size and position options doesn't work as expected for grouped objects
Currently if you use the size and position options in the object styles panel, it applies the x,y position to all objects individually in a group rather than to the group itself.
Anchored objects currently handle grouped objects in the correct way. This feels like a bug/oversight.
Would expect a group of objects to behave as 1 rather than being each item being treated individually within a group

InDesign 2021 PDF saving & exporting before settings can be applied
Running InDesign 2021 16.4.0.54
When connected to the 3rd party plugin, Agility I can export 1, sometimes 2, files the way I want, i.e. pg. 84 then all pages on another file. After that once I choose save location, the file immediately exports & is usually done by the time the export dialog box comes up. So if I want pg. 50, it's still looking for pg. 84 so it does all pages. Or it'll do all pages if that's what was done beforehand. I can't change any export settings, even if I do & click export they are not…2 votes -

There does not seem to be a way to activate the Japanese Paragraph composer in the English version of InDesign
I am an native English speaker and use InDesign primarily in English. I sometimes have projects in other languages; i actually read a fair bit of Japanese and noticed that the lines were breaking even wtih World-ready paragraph composer turned on. I then learned that InDesign has both Japanese paragraph and single-line composers, whhich appear to be accessible in PREFERENCES under Advanced Type, but this does not seem to do anything I need done with the text.
i was told I must install the Japanese language version of InDesign to apply this feature. It would be wonderful if that would…

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.2 votes -
Persistent Spinning Beachball
I am using InDesign 2022 v. 17.1. I get a spinning beachball that lasts for six seconds each time I click. Opening a file or switching between InDesign and another program results in a much longer beachball. Several minutes after the document is open, the beachball becomes permanent and the program becomes unresponsive.

Fixing images and text wrap
Since a longer time there is a bug, that makes it impossible to let the text flow around beside an image, while this image is fixed with a anchor mark. The line, where the anchor mark is set doesn’t flow around. That makes an unhappy compronise necessary: Either you don’t set the anchor mark and the image doesn’t flow with the text or you set an manual word wrap.
This should be fixed because in other programs it also works.

Slow opening documents with links to a network drive letter that is not present
InDesign 2022 – version 17.1 x64 running on Windows 10.
Steps to reproduce the issues
Prepare a document in this way:
1a Create a new document.
1b Place an image from a network letter, that you can disconnect (VPN).
1c Save the document locally (the linked file should just be on the network).
1d Close the document, and close the VPN connection.
1e Open the document.I would expect the document to open within 5 seconds or so.
It takes 18 to 20 seconds before the message about a missing link appears, and the document can open.

Export and Package dialog window not working when menu items are colored
Export and Package dialog window not working when menu items are colored.
If you customize the Export or Package menu item by making it a color under Edit-> Menus... , the dialogs that open contain drop-down menus that are not editable. You can't pick the PDF preset or the format for the packaged document. This can be replicated across different MacOS operation systems and hardware configurations. If you remove the color from the menu items the functionality returns.2 votes
