Bug: overwriting embedded objects with not embedded ones keeps them imbedded
Indesign CC 2022, v17.
Steps to reproduce :
1. open two documents which have the same linked file (image) embedded
2. edit the image outside of ID.
3. relink the file in one of two documents, so it becomes unembedded
4. copy the unembedded file to the other document, overwriting the same, but still embedded object/image.Exprect result: the object in the target document should not be embedded anymore and it should be up-to-date.
What happens: depending on how the files is placed (inside a table cell or not) ID will only mark it as "it has been changed" by…

lose keyboard shortcuts
InDesign 17.1 on 2019 MBP, Catalina 10.15.7
All of the keyboard shortcuts involving the "command" key stop working (command + spacebar, command + shift, etc.). This usually happens after leaving the app open for a long time (during a long call, lunchtime, etc.) and they don't work again until the computer is restarted.1 vote -
Direct PDF-Export in Data merge copies "page-1-text" to all other pages
In the linked video you can see a bug in Indesign 17.1 x64 on Windows 10.
Data Merge offers two ways to output pages. You can generate a merged Indesign-Document (works) and you can directly export to PDF.
The direct PDF-export doesn't work for me, because texts from page 1 get copied to all other pages instead of using each pages text.
The video shows the comparison between both methods and i just don't see a reason for what is happening.1 vote -
Anchored headings on even pages appear out of order in generated tables of contents
Using InDesign v17.1 on MacOS 12.2.1. On a 50 page document with facing pages, using custom positioned anchored level 2 headings that appear to the left of paragraphs and are aligned at the left side of the text frame. When generating a table of contents, the anchored headings on even pages appear before their corresponding level 1 headings. I've moved the anchored objects slightly inside the frame and changed the left margin but problem persists. When pushing this same text to an odd page and regenerate the TOC, the problem is fixed.

navigation
The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen is visible as soon as we hit a key.
It is a bit annoying when you use this tool to make a presentation..
Can we add an option to hide it ?1 vote -
Pasting forced line breaks instead of end paragraphs (InDesign)
When pasting data from Excel, each row comes in with a Forced Line Break marker at the end, instead of an End Paragraph marker. This is a recent change within Indesign, as you used to be able to paste from excel into a table in Indesign, maintaining the proper rows and columns. Now when you paste in the same information, it doesn't recognize the end paragraph, and tries to put all the data in one row.
The same issue has been found when pasting text from Microsoft Word into Indesign - instead of End Paragraph markers, you get forced line…

Poor GPU Performance
With the GPU enabled, InDesign is very slow. (everything is slow, even typing text is very long...)
On previous versions I did not encounter this problem.
If I disable GPU acceleration, and use the CPU instead, InDesign is a bit faster.I use inDesign 17.1 / MacOS Monterey 12.2.1
on a Macbook pro 15" 2015 (Intel Core i7 2.8Ghz + RAM 16Go + GPU : AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2 Go)

Share for Review / Hyperlinks not working
Hyperlinks are not working on Share for review, using image, text or even buttons. They work fine if you export the document as Interactive PDF. Already tried to delete the review and upload a new version, but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone else have this issue?

Horizontal lines appear on a regular basis
Horizontal lines appear on a regular basis. Very frustrating. They appear when I scroll up or down, generally when zoomed in. I have to clear them with 'Hide Guides' keys (Command, semicolon key).
Also, the 'Hide Guide’ feature is flaky when using the short cut command. The guides will not remain in the 'Show Guide'I mode. I then have to use the menu to activate.

Stripped down workspace when opening document
- Using 17.1 x64 on a Windows 10 machine
- When InDesign is closed, if I double click on a file to open it, the program opens with a minimal workspace; no panels, no toolbar at the top of the screen, nothing. If I open the program first, and then open a file (either through the file menu, or by doubleclicking on the icon in File Explorer, the program opens with my correct workspace.
- Opening the program, no matter how I access it, should open with my selected workspace.
- It opens without any panels, toolbars or the option to change to a…

popups
ISSUE: More than once, when I open InDesign, or access it for the first time that day, it'll come up with a popup spread across my workspace, inviting my feedback about something or alerting me to something. AND it will NOT go away.
Previous time it was alerting me to the coming end of support for Type 1 fonts. Today (03/03/22) it's asking me to share feedback on Copy Editor (Beta) (screenshot attached).
At this moment I need to work on my document, and I am not using Copy Editor, nor have I. But the popup can't be Escaped out…

Paragraph borders and shading
Corner size and shape arrows don't work. You have to manually type in a value. I thought that in doing so it would activate the arrows but no.

Drop Shadow is Very Buggy Within the App for Text
The drop shadow effect is very buggy in the editor and has been for quite some time. I just dealt with it for the longest time but it seriously slows down production when I'm constantly having to "fix" it by making a change to the text then Undoing it (i.e. delete a character, then press Command+Z). The bug happens when Drop Shadow is applied to text and you scroll down the page a bit. The attached images show the before and after. If I scroll down the page after "fixing" it, it just re-bugs out. I work with white text…

Home Welcome Screen Blank After Update on all Apps
After the recent set of updates, Indesign does not show the welcome screen. When i try to create a new document (CNTRL+N, File>New>Document) the app hangs and i have to restart the app. I am able to open existing files, but not create new ones. Worked around the problem by selecting "Use Legacy New Document Dialog", but i would like to get my home/Welcome screen back.
OS: Windows 10
Indesign Version: 17.1PS: having the same issue on Ilustrator and Photoshop, although those two apps dont hang

Cannot open file up. You may not have permission or the document may already be open.
I wish Adobe would fix the issue cannot openn file up. You may not have permission or the document may already be open so people like me don't have to rename the file that wouldn't open up or change the location where the file is saved at all.
