    Indesign refused to open any panels that were not already docked to the side e.g. Effects, Pages. Fixed with a restart of Indesign.

  3. InDesign 16.2.1 Mac unwanted automatically full screen

    InDesign automatically changes itself into full screen mode. Which I don't want. There is no setting to be found to correct this. Illustrator does the same thing but there you can change the UI navigation size and then it behaves like it should.

  4. cursor stuck on pencil

    When I open a certain file, the cursor is stuck on the pencil tool. I can't select any objects in the file. The cursor still operates menu selections, but doesn't work inside the document.

  5. Id CC 2021 pdf export failure

    This is an issue I and my coworker have been having with previous versions of INDD CC, along with 2021 (16.1). It's been a problem for about a year now. We work off of a server, and exporting to a PDF fails frequently. It usually works if we export to our desktops, but exporting to the server is very hit-or-miss. It doesn't matter if the file is older or has just been created, and it doesn't matter whether it contains linked files or not.

    I have never had it fail to export to my desktop, but she has. She had…

  6. table content moving even if there is enough room

    This is getting ridiculous, there are so many bugs in this program it's barely usable anymore. I have a 2 column layout, some content spans to 1 column. Sometimes when there is a table that spans it moves the table to the next page even if there is enough room. The only way to fix this is to make another text box and link them together. This is a huge pain ********** and makes it difficult when there are footnotes. It's a span bug and has been around for a while. Instead of making new features can you fix the…

  7. Please Allow Mutliple Text Modification!

    I HATE that I have to literally individually select each text in order for me to manipulate it in any way whether its changing the colors or size or the formatting. Its SUPER annoying and makes me and most of my classmates want to avoid using inDesign at all costs. We use it because our teacher makes us and there aren't many ways to do text formatting on illustrator. But on illustrator it can be easily done by just selecting all the text or using the eyedropper tool. But on indesign there are these stupid useless features like text box…

  10. Naming layers in the docked layers panel and naming things in paragraph styles details box

    As described in this thread :
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/can-t-rename-layers-indesign-2021-16-0-also-happened-in-2020/td-p/11550199/page/2?page=1

    It's impossible to rename layers when the panel is docked
    I also have problems in naming things in some particular panels like the Paragraph styles details box when i want to create a nested style and type the exact word i want the style to stop
    (see screen capture) i manage to click it but it's like magic clic and clic and clic... sometimes work sometimes not... i'm getting crazy with it and loos a lot of time.

    Thank you for updating

  11. Indesign type/font glitch

    Has anyone experienced a glitch which means whenever you type a certain letter in indesign it glitches?? Every time I (or others working off the same server) type "r" when writing text in a specific indesign doc (both using most up-to date version 16.1, on either mac catalina or big sur), it doesn't type "r", but also causes the text style to change to the basic paragraph text style. It does this for all fonts.
    It doesnt happen in any other documents, and we can paste "r" in or correct spelling in this document without it glitching.
    We have been…

  12. Everything on artboard goes to bitmap intermittently

    Running iD (15.1.3) on Windows 7 - Don't laugh this isn't my machine but the one I have to work on. grrrr!
    Every now and again the entire artboard contents and surrounds (not the UI), changes to low resolution resulting in something resembling a scene from the game Minecraft, fonts images imported vector graphics etc. This is only on inDesign, no other program, so it's not a system or graphics card error. The attached image shows up as all bitmapped but tin reality it's just the artboard that goes pear shaped. Is there a fix for this or is it…

  13. character style list flashes but won't open

    Sometimes, ID gets into a state where the Character Style drop-down list will not drop down. I can click either the list item itself or the little [v] button to its right, nothing happens. If I click it again, the screen will just flash open the list for just an instant, but it will not drop down the list and let me select from it. The only workaround is to use View › Character Styles, which slows me down quite a bit, because I usually leave the View › Paragraph Styles window open.

  15. Column rules generate overlapped lines in PDF

    InDesign 16.2 (Windows 10 and macOS Big Sur on M1 have the same behaviour).

    I have a text frame with common rules active.
    When I export a PDF (print) InDesign creates two overlapping lines in the exported PDF instead of a single line, to create the rule.
    If I export a PDF (interactive) from the same document, the line is not doubled and overlapped.

    I upload the resulting PDFs made with print and interactive.

    In some workflow, like laser engraving, this is a problem.

    Can you fix this in some way?
    Thanks

  16. Text with missing fonts are invisible in InDesign 16.1 macOS Catalina

    Missing fonts in a document were usually showed with a replaced standard font and a light red highlight, so it pops you in the eye directly.
    In the new InDesign 16.1 on macOS Catalina 10.15.7 this feature is suddendly missing for me. The text with the missing font is completely invisible. Just an empty textbox. Just when you klick in it or open the preflight window, there you can see the errors.

    Did I miss some new settings? Sometimes you just want to quickly edit the text and generate the final pdf later. Would be great if can enable this…

  17. Clearer online navigation arrows on web - Accessibility & UX Improvements

    Currently, the page navigation arrows are not defined enough for accessibility and clearer navigation. If someone has a published doc that is a white background, one can not see the page navigations in the main view clearly at all and people assume it's just one page. Also, the hover-over fade also can cause the assumption that it's one page.

    A suggested solution is to make the directional arrows, non-fade and a 1pt thicker and more defined drop shadow...

  18. Interactive "Go to Page" destinations don't update when pages are added or removed from document.

    One of the possible interactive actions in a document is "Go to Page." I can have a button jump the Publish Online view to a different page in the document. Unlike EVERY other page-related function in InDesign, the page number designated doesn't update if a page is added or removed between the button and the target page.

    Example:

    I set a button on page 3, that when clicked jumps the view to page 10. If, later in the document creation/editing process, a page is deleted between these pages, the view still jumps to page 10, not page 9 which is…

  19. publish online doesn't respect layout

    I can't drop screenshots for confidentiality reasons, but the proportions of objects in the exported 'Publish online' site don't match proportions in the inDesign document.

    -images are strangely blurry even though they have more than enough resolution
    -online objects not aligning with where they appear to on page in working doc, and scaling/cropping within their boxes differently too.
