text wrap
InDesign 16.1v64
Text Wrap controls behave different with transformed objects.
At first I was going to report this as a bug and saw one other post where they were having the same issue but then I realized what is really going on so I'm making a suggestion.
Look at the Text Wrap for an Image object with the controls unlinked.
I was seeing the bottom control affecting the right side. And the Right side control affecting another side.
After some research I realized this was only happening on the images I'd imported and rotated 90 degrees.

no correct hyphenation of German words with dashes
In German we have many terms consisting of two or more words with dashes in between. Everybody would hyphenate these naturally behind the dashes. InDesign is unable to do so, but suggests multiple wrong or ugly hyphenations and leaves the dashes as if they were non-breaking hyphens, which they are not! I know this problem since several years. I had it in CS5 and 6 as well as in every later version and today in InDesign 2020.
For example: In cookbooks there are often intermediate products consisting of two or more ingredients. Some (artificial) examples:

Hairlines/artifacts randomly appearing on screen
1) InDesign 16.1 (and othre versions)
2) Place an image or object. Apply a drop shadow. Pan/scroll, zoom, enable or dissable output preview
3) Consistent rendering.
4) Glitches of bands of light or dark pixels may appear over images, in transparencies and effects. These may come and go depending on resolution preview mode, zoom and/or if overprint preview is rendered. (The lines are similar to tiling lines in PDFx1a in that they are rendering glitches presumably caused by floating point calculations)

Any suggestions anyone.. on How I can fix? I have already Uninstalled InDesign 16.1 and then reinstalled. I tried outputting to pdf in Photoshop it seems fine - all options showing.
I looked in Library in Presets and there only seems to be a in Alias see attached2 votes -
Mac InDesig 16.1 opens files on Synology NAS as read-only
Has anyone report any permission problems with Mac OS Big Sur 11.2.3? I am opening InDesign files and on my Mac and they open fine. On another Mac, same OS, they are opening READ-ONLY. The permissions on the Synology haven't changed since we bought it.
I already contacted Synology. We have 4 Macs running the latest InDesign. This read-only problem is happening on 2 of them. We are connecting AFP.
We did try on one Mac to reboot in recovery-mode and reinstall the OS. We also uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign. Neither fixed the problem.2 votes -
find/change text missing search: selection
after making a selection, the Find/Change text dialog sometimes does not offer Selection in the Search dropdown. It will be present under GREP and Object, but not Text and Glyph. Closing/reopening Find/Change does not fix it. Restarting InDesign usually fixes it...until it goes missing again.

When switching from normal to preview, the type on a book page reflows and some type disappears.
InDesign 2020: During work I often switch between normal and preview. Working on a long book, type has been disappearing on the Preview Page when I switch to that view from "normal". I quit InDesign, re-start, and things go ok for a while.

Problem with the display of the navigation bar on an Android smartphone and tablet of a document published by publish online
Hi all,
I have a strange situation with a document that I created in InDesign and then published online using "Publish Online". From there I got a link to share.
On the desk, everything is fine. But the problem is with Android devices where the options tab with next page, previous page, download button and others disappears after a few seconds and there is no way to get it back.
It is not possible to navigate between the pages of the document.
This is the bar with the options I am talking about in the attachment.
Is there something that…

shift to constrain and option-drag to copy only working intermittently now
- InDesign 16.1
- In a document, select an object. Then hold shift and scale the object. Or hold option and drag to copy the object.
- When holding shift, I expect constrained proportions. When holding Option, I expect a copy.
- Both key modifiers work perfectly in Illustrator, so it's not my keyboard nor my Mac. What I get when holding shift is the same as not holding shift - unconstrained proportions. What I get when holding option is the same as with not holding option - the object is just moved, not copied.
- I can't show a test because I can't show…

Incorrect replacement of special characters in hyperlinks while exporting to interactive PDF
In InDesign, the special characters in hyperlinks are converted while exporting as interactive PDF differently depending on the platform (Windows or Mac) and the type of hyperlink and are thus made unusable.
If the hyperlink replaces a text without further intervention in the document, special Characters are sometimes incorrectly replaced.
The replacement is different depending on how the hyperlink is used in the document:
- text that is a hyperlink
- Assigned hyperlink to a text
- buttonIn addition, Mac and Windows export result in further differences.
So far I only have tested the letters äüö, but cannot rule…

Duplicating Page with Alt + Drag Not Working Anymore
I cant duplicate pages anymore using alt + dragging.
Alt dragging the page to the side still works (so that the newly duplicated page appears at the end).
But when I try to duplicate it to a specific location it just moves the page and does not duplicate it.This is really annoying....

Split columns not working in cell
The span/split column paragraph setting doesn't work if the text happens to be inside a cell.
So you can't have your paragraph split into two columns inside a table.
Please fix!

tables jumping to next page
Sometimes tables that fit on one page jumps to the next page causing reflow. It does this randomly and can't figure out why. This has to be caused by bug in indesign. I really wish Adobe would focus more on fixing the many bugs in its programs rather than adding new features.
