For some reason my design in indesign is not fully visible when i am working on it, even when i select fast display or high quality display
it is so annoying to be working on my design and not to be able to see all of my work on my screen as so much of it is blank, and is only visible when i export it as a jpeg. THis is so unprofessional and inconsistent when trying to design that i can clearly see all of my work as i edit and improve it. Can you please investigate and improve the software so my work is visible as i continue to edit. Also have the screen is in grey and the other half in white like a…

Weird display bug in bookmark panel
- Latest Indesign on Windows 10 (1709)
- Open document, open bookmark panel
- Show all bookmarks correctly
- Bookmarks are randomly cut in the middle of letters
- Screenshot attached.
Info: the INDD file was made in ID CS6 and now opened in ID CC, then saved. TOC and bookmarks have been recreated after this, but the problem remains. The weird thing is, this suddenly happened today. I've been using CC since 11-30-17 and before today it was OK.

Object style size property crashes InDesign when used with Libraries
I have recreated this bug on both Mac and PC InDesign 13.0
- Create a text box
- Insert a table with any number of table cells
- Draw a rectangle anywhere
- Create a new Object Style and set Size and Position Options -> Size -> Adjust: to Height Only
- Apply the Object Style to the rectangle
- Cut and past the rectangle into one of the cells of the table
- Create a new Library file
- Drag the text box into the Library
- Try drag the Library item back out onto the page... It should crash.
This has become very problematic for us because…
1 voteFix is available in version 13.1 of InDesign.
Please update to the latest version available to you via Creative Cloud Desktop application.Thanks,

clicking when I don't want it it
Very jittery, hyperactive indesign. This is happening in Indesign and Illustrator for me.
Even though I'm only clicking once, Indesign and illustrator will register 2 or 3+ clicks. This happens when I'm changing my point size, when I'm drawing anchor points, moving and image box, or alt-clicking to copy an item. The program will register numerous click even if I'm holding it down and ll get 5 text boxes when I was only trying to copy one.

supscript
When building (or rebuilding) an index all the "see abc" entries using in place of "current page" have the "see" in superscript. I've written a GREP to correct, but it is annoying. Also get some random superscripts in various places in the main text.

InDesign CC2018 – loss of Options from text frames when copy a frame from an older version
All the formattings of text frames, which I have entred in for example CC2017 or earlier, will not be transfered to CC2018.
This is scarry, and as I do not have any idea, I'll change back my work zu CC2017.

cmd+v not working in scripts
- InDesign 2015, 2017 and 2018 on Mac OS (only on Mac. Works on Windows)
- Run the sample script "ImageCatalog.jsx". When the save dialog opens create a new folder. Name the folder by pasting a text using cmd+v.
- Any copied text would be expected to be pasted to name the folder.
- Nothing happens. But if you right click and choose "Paste" it works fine.

glow
I had created a 1-up postcard for a proof in InDesign, and then placed it in a second InDesign document 3-up. When I exported it to PDF from the 3-up document using "Fiery Optimized" settings, the resulting PDF was missing all outer glow effects. Looking at the PDF, the outer glow on page one was on the "Sacramento Investor" logo on the lower left positions, and on page two, on that same logo, plus the text on top of all the property photos
I packaged the doc and links, which are attached. As part of that process, I created a…

Type on path ID CC 2018
creating a path then adding type to the path causes the terminal beachball of death– tried 4 times, restarted app and Mac tried again. Force quit required each time. I was able to copy a path with type on it from an older document. Very painful

Problem with Ctrl+A
When you select a file with more than 500 pages with the command Ctrl + A, (to export RTF) Indesign hangs for many minutes. It did not happen in previous versions. Problem detected in Win10 64bit, the last 2 versions of Indesign.

If you still face this issue even after updating, please send the following information to santalwa@adobe.com :
Reproducible Steps –

The killing of hard returns in ToC
This is a new feature with version 13 ... but (I think only on WIN machines) that can not be stored with the rest of the settings. After saving and creating a table of contents, the check mark is no longer set.
