opening an IDML zeroes the pasteboard dimensions
EVERY time when I open the IDMLs (probably from previous version of indesign - now I have 19.4 x64) the pasteboard dimensions are set to zero.
And only with IODML - opening INDD goes normal.I think its a last update issue.

Find/change
Find/Change is really slow to search when i add a Find Format style [None] in the search.
The search works fine in my document if I just search on a text word or other styles but when I add [None] to ensure it doesn't change other character formats applied it then takes forever to find it.

InDesign black screen after I disconnect from the external monitor
Black screen in InDesign after disconnecting from external monitor. If I close InDesign and restart it, it works again. But that's very annoying for my colleagues and me.

InDesign 19.4 crashing when clicking on text box
I have a Lenova ThinkPad Windows laptop on Win 10 Enterprise, Build 19045. After updating from 19.3 to 19.4, the program began crashing whenever I clicked on a text box.
I tested with different documents with the same results. I tried a few of the "usual" fixes for crashes (including removing the prefs folder and exporting to IDML) with no success, so I downgraded to 19.3. Downgrading fixed the problem, so there appears to be a compatibility problem with my system.

undesired text reflow
When anchoring an object to which text wrap has been applied, the text in the paragraph receiving the anchor reflows in an undesired manner, affecting layout in minute but important ways. Trying to fit book copy around an image without creating spaciness within the shortened lines is hard enough without having all one's adjustments made null when the text shifts due to an anchor that has nowhere else it can be placed.

Logical error: searching words in selected text with Find/Change unselects text
When using the Find/Change dialog to find text, there is an option to only search in a "Selection" of text. When the word is found, Indesign will mark that word, which would also unselect the text and no further search in the selection could be done. This is a logical bug.

p.s. this is fixable by deleting preferences, but I don't want to lose all my preferences. Is there a way to save preferences before deleting them and restore without reintroducing the problem? I will find out.

horizontal and vertical restrain with shift key not working.
InDesign 19.4 will not allow me to constrain proportions when resizing a photo box. The window simply closes to re-crop the image. It does allow resizing the photo IN the box with the direct selection tool. It also will not allow me to constrain horizontally or vertically when shift-dragging any item. It also does not restrain the line tool. It also does not allow me to rebuild preferences.

Scaling problem multiple monitors
InDesign Version: 19.4
Open InDesign on an external monitor (on Mac OS–Sonoma)Problem:
InDesign is in many cases unusable for me, because the window sometimes just scales itself down to a very tiny size without any reason.
Sometimes it happens when I try to zoom in in a document and in many other situations too.1 vote -
misaligned InCopy Galley/Story cursor when World-Ready composer and inline notes are used
The cursor in InCopy's Galley/Story view is misaligned when the underlying paragraph style specifies a "World Ready" paragraph composer AND inline notes precede the cursor in the same paragraph as the cursor.
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch InCopy 2023
- Make a new document.
- Enter text for two paragraphs.
- Make a paragraph style for the first paragraph and specify the "Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer." Apply that style to the 1st paragraph.
- Make a 2nd paragraph style based on the first, but specify the "Adobe Paragraph Composer" (i.e., NOT World-Ready). Apply that to the 2nd paragraph.

Improve/Simplify Gradient and Gradient Feather tools
Why is it so hard to create a simple Colour to Transparent gradient in InDesign? Why can’t we select 'None' in Gradients instead of having to revert to the Gradient Feather Tool to do the same job? And even then it’s difficult to change the colours because you can’t simply just drop an alternative colour swatch onto the Effect.
Unlike Illustrator, in Gradient Feather, you cannot click on a selected colour in the slider to access your colour palette to change the colour. In fact, you cannot even edit the colour selection. 2 Tools, 2 ways of creating a gradient…

InDesign - OneDrive- Sync problems
I have synchronized a OneDrive image folder without downloading the image files. When I drag an image directly into an InDesign page, the file usually was downloaded automatically. But now I get an error message that the file might be in use and can only be opened after another user has closed it. If I use Ctrl. + D to import the same image, it works. Is InDesign maybe too fast for OneDrive to give access to the file? My collegue doesn't experience this problem but works with the same InDesign version and file directory.

Problem with endnote formatting when converting to EPUB
I was converting a print book file to an EPUB using the 19.4 updated version of Indesign. The print file had footnotes on every page.. In the conversion options box, I selected the option to convert footnotes to endnotes, but the formatting of the numbers in the EPUB were not consistent. Each footnote number that was on a new page in the original Indesign files was bigger than the other numbers (see screenshots). To attempt to fix the problem, I converted the footnotes to endnotes in the actual Indesign file before exporting to EPUB. This fixed the numbering issue but…

User Generated Templates that can be Accessed from the Home Screen
It would be very helpful to be able to access user generated templates from the home screen, similar to presets. This will allow teams to quickly access documents and keep layouts consistent, instead of taking time to search for templates on the network.

Randomly occuring corruption in PDF export.
Two variations of this issue. Both occur when processed by a Fiery RIP. Screen Preview and PitStop show nothing wrong.
1) PDF starts to RIP, but partway through it fails.
2) PDF RIPs, but (some) sections of text containing ligatures are substituted for completely wrong glyphs.
In both cases, re-RIPing the same PDF gets the same error, but exporting a new PDF solves it. (It occasionally takes more than one attempt at re-exporting)
We also use Xmpie to generate personalized letters, and the glyph error text issue will start at some increment of 100 records and last exactly 100 records…

pdf export failure background task
hello,
my indesign (19.4) doesn't want to export the pdf file for print, which is really annoying.
1) all photos are cmyk;
2) all colors are cmyk;
3) if i export the pdf in pages as separate files, it works.otherwise no can do. pic attached.
it is the second project this situation occurs and the first time the workaround was to save the file again, with another name, then work with this new copy.
also i mention that the indesign file seems very large (177 mega), although it has 42 pages only... may be some pics are big and…
