can't select objects
ID version 18.3
I have a massive page with a lot of objects, and now I can't select any of them. It is as if every object is locked; effectively the page now behaves like a pdf. I have tried to unlock all objects, over and over, and although "Unlock all on spread" is not greyed out, it does not respond. I have tried quitting and restarting, to no avail. Is it because my system just can't cope with the size? This is months of work down the pan...1 vote -
InDesign Beta doesn't open my file
When Indesign Beta is open and I want to open an additional file, Indesign doesn't open the new file, but seems to ignore tha prompt to open the additional file. If the program is closed, the files will open the program and pop up, but if the program is already open with or without a file, InDesign ignores the opening of the new file.

InDesign 18.3 Arabic variable font bug (MacOS)
In an Arabic variable font it is not possible to apply the font variation to a single glyph without breaking the shaping. In Illustrator 27.5 the expected behaviour (variation of an individual glyph without breaking shaping) works.

Shared Documents - Make Available Offline Always
For documents I create and that appear under the "Your Files" section, I see that I can choose the "Make Available Offline Always" option. However, for documents that have been shared with me and appear under "Shared With You," I don't see this option.
Will this option be available for shared documents in the near-future?
It's a critical need for my team since our workflow sometimes includes starting a project that has to be handed off to someone else for completion. Having the ability to work offline as the starting lead OR as the finishing lead ensures we can safely…

selection story
I have a couple of documents with the same type of tables on several pages. I mark 2 of 3 columns and want to change all letters and numbers in that one to x. So I use the search/find to do this and I mark "Selection" to just change the selected ones. Works fine. So I move to the next page with the Search/Find Windows still open. Then I mark the new 2 columns and want to change them as well. But now the "Selection" have changed to Story".
Every time I mark a new set of columns, it changes…1 vote -
Relinking a .webp image with an embedded ICC profile freezes InDesign 2023
When you try to relink a new image to an existing one, and the new image is in .webp format with an embedded ICC profile, InDesign 2023 hangs. This is reproducible. Relinking works as expected if the .webp image does not have an embedded ICC profile.

Indesign not reading fonts correctly.
I've been using our corporate fonts (Concon and Avenir), successfully for months. Using latest updates from CC Indesign and Photoshop and Illustrator. Never any font conflict issues.
All of a sudden last month one document in Indesign stopped recognising the fonts. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling both the fonts and the program apps. I've tried installing the fonts in Adobe folders as well as on my PC.
It's super frustrating as every time I open the document, I need to go back and correct all the fonts. It let's me resolve them by re-selecting a font for highlighted text, but doesn't…

objects in a page disappear when reapplying master page to that page
INDD v18.2.1
this is a new bug in CCOn a page, when re-applying the same master page (e.g parent A) to it, all text frame box will disappear. Why do I wanna reapply the same master page to it? Because sometimes the text box is moved by accident, so I re-apply the master page so that it will go back to the original position. It used to work in order versions of INDD. Not anymore.
Is this a bug or a feature that no longer exist? Please fix. thank you.

When deleting or adding one single page in the middle of a facing page document, the images in the pages that follow will shift of misalign
INDD V.18.2.1 (it applies to V17 too)
Hi developers, this is a long-lasting problem n it really affects work flow.In a multiple facing page document, if you delete or add one single left or right hand page (in my example it's p.36), all the images in the pages that follow will shift in their positions. And if you add one page, then delete that page, the images will not go back to their original position. Allow document or spread to shuffle is checked. This is a MAJOR issue when you are working on document over 100 pages.

RGB Gray are not exported in PDF with the same values.
InDesign Version: 18.2.1 x64
When setting a gray scale in InDesign with different patches of equal R=G=B and inspecting the resulting PDF the % values are correct but when inspecting the color values in Acrobat Pro Object Inspector there are some slight differences in the R G and B components.
When doing the same in Illustrator with the same profiles and exporting settings the components are equals.1 vote -
The shortcut for Bridge opens Bridge every day, repeatedly by mistake. Can it be altered?
It's kind of a bug since it opens when I don't want it to, so I placed my question here. As I type, every day I open Bridge by mistake. Can I change the shortcut, or disable it, and how do I even find it?
As far as a bug alert, could Adobe change the default shortcut to Bridge, so it doesn't open 10 or more times a day as book editors like me edit text for 8 hours. I don't even know what I am typing incorrectly to open Bridge.

Path to images in linked InDesign documents not adjusted when packaged
I have packaged an InDesign document with linked InDesign documents for the printer. The images inside the packaged InDesign files have the wrong path, it has not been adjusted to the packaged images.
Our printer has printed the product therefor without the linked images which is a desaster. Please fix linked image paths within linked InDesign documents.

Why can't InDesign import and edit pdfs or images without plug in
When I try to import pdf or jpeg into Adobe InDesign 2023 desktop it says required plug in is missing. Since I am paying monthly for the full 2023 version why do I need a plug in? I am on older computer that uses Windows 10. Will I have this problem if I upgrade my computer?

text box link
This is a bug affecting my Windows 10 version (18.3 x64) that has been happening for the last week or so, presumably with the latest update. Text box links will break for no reason leaving the content displayed in each text box as its new content. I actually watched it break the connection between the text boxes while I was doing nothing to my document.
