1. Actual Size is not Actual Size

   I was trying to view art at "Actual Size" under "View" and using the shortcut. The art is 9" and it is showing 11.0625" instead in InDesign 2022 (v17.2). I would really appreciate this being fixed as soon as possible. Or a solution as to why this is happening to be forthcoming. Thanks!

2. file name

   I'm in InDesign 17.1. File names under Recent Files are overlapping and become illegible. Restarting the device and application doesn't solve this issue.

4. [ID 17.2.20] Import xlsx spreadsheet: formatted numbers are truncated

   MacOS 10.15.7 (19H1824) French localization
   InDesign 17.2.0.20 (17200)
   Excel 16.58 (16.58.22021501)

   When importing an Excel sheet as a table, every number is truncated before the first thousand separator (which is a space in French).
   1 457 will be imported as 1
   21 457 >> 21
   (21 457) >> (21
   -210 457 >> -210
   621 457 >> 621
   and so on…

   After a lot of tests on several configurations and discussions on the Adobe forum, I can say that the issue will only occur on French macOS systems, starting with Catalina. No matters what version of InDesign is used (15.0 thru 17.2).

5. Placed PDFs and Images Not Rendering

   I'm on InDesign 2022 (17.2) and have started recently having issues with placed images and PDFs after an update. I have a 2021 silicon Mac Mini for Travel and an Intel 2019 iMac for home use. Both on Monterey 12.3.1

   The rendering issue began after certain documents originally worked on in the silicon version had issues when opening in the Intel version.

   This happened with both images (TIFs, JPGs) and PDF files. After placing the files in InDesign (in the mac mini) they rendered fine. Upon opening the files though in InDesign on my iMac. The renderings did not appear. Deleting the image box and re-importing did not help. Trashing the ID preferences did temporarily help though.

   Unfortunately, upon opening another file this morning the same issue occurred.

6. Persistent graphics issues

   There are STILL graphics problems in Indesign 17.2. Things disappearing off the screen that don't reappear unless you try and move them (zooming in and out doesn't work), streaks appearing across the screen.

   I am so bored of the constant bugs in this app.

7. Column Rules will NOT overprint when option [x] Overprint is checked and color is NOT [Black]

   Use a swatch like CMYK 0,0,0,100 or CMYK 0,0,0,90 or CMYK 100,0,0,0 for a column rule and turn on overprint.

   Overprint attribute will not applied to the column rules.

   Tested with InDesign 17.1.0.50 on Windows 10.

   For more details see into this discussion at the InDesign User Forum:

   NOTE: It seems that ONLY [Black] will overprint.
   Or all tints of [Black] as long as the tints are applied to the column rule in the text frame options dialog for column rules.

   Also tested color "Cyan" by scripting. But also this color will not overprint.
   See page 5 in my sample test document.

8. resize document view

   I am using Indesign 17.2. When I try to resize the art board by clicking on the bottom right corner, the whole thing automatically becomes larger than my screen so that I have no way to adjust it from there.

   The uploaded image shows the bottom of my screen without any way to access the bottom of the document.

10. Opening a document now causes lag for about 30 seconds, where I have no control

    1. Version of Adobe InDesign: 17.1
    2. Steps to reproduce the issues: a. Open document from the Mac Finder. (This lag happens whether I start with InDesign open or closed. b. I have zero control of anything while a progress indicator spins for about 30 seconds. c. A font error dialog pops up, and then I can finally control InDesign, starting by dismissing that dialog. Expected result: I expect instant control of InDesign, since my computer isn't that old and it's a pro model. Actual result: Slowness, lag - way too much, considering most of my documents are 8 pages long with maybe 30 or so links to placed graphics... The test file I'm attaching has a bunch of master pages and a bunch of embedded graphics, but the thing is, it used to be that there was no lag with this document... Now there's lag. That's an issue. Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional): Test file attached.

11. Bug: Table/cell styles don't define cell height and character format

    Indesign CC 2020, v17.1

    The dialog to create a new cell style doesn't have a definition for the cell height (value "At least" / "Exactly") like we find it in the table properties panel. Table styles also don't define cell height and that is all we can use. If you adjust the cell height manually and redefine the cell style, it's also not submitted. So there is no chance to format an entire table just by selecting a table style.

    Next is characters. If there is supposed to be text in a table, that text gotta have a style. Since we want to be able to define different styles for the header row(s) and body, the styles would be nested. Means, a cell style defines the style of the cell, but also of the text by using a character style.

    So, while a table style can define how the different cells shall be filled/stroked it can only format half of the table. Why? Why not make it complete?

12. M1

    I have issues with basic tasks in InDesign. I ordered a new MacBook Pro 16, M11 Pro, 16GB Ram, 1TB SSD
    And just scrolling around in InDesign gave me the rolling spin.

    After updating to the newest indd Version and newest MacOs Version it did get better with small files, and moving a textbox worked finally.
    But working with a bigger magazine file with 50 pages is not doable.

    I ordered a second m1 pro (same config) as thinking it might be a Hardware Issue. Same result.
    I made a clean wipe of MacOs, only installed CC and Indd (and OneDrive for the files) and still same issue.

    Turning GPU OFF or ON did not change a thing.

    My old intel Windows with 6700HQ and 20GB Ram is working better in the same file.

    Btw. Photoshop worked perfectly fine and is waaay faster as the Win Laptop, as it is supposed to be.

13. Cross reference broken by InCopy

    A text element with cross references is added to an InCopy assignment. (The cross reference utilises the paragraph number - just in case, this should be important.)
    After editing any text (not part of the cross reference source itself or the target paragraph) in InCopy, the cross reference is broken in InDesign. Same, if you change the target paragraph.
    This happens in InDesign/InCopy 16.4 as well as 17.1

14. InDesign 17.1 not working properly

    InDesign (17.1) is acting very strange for the last two months. When I click on File, Edit, View or any other topic, the tab does not open. I cannot access any action under those tabs. Also, when I eventually get to work with my document, it is extremely slow to save. It turns, and turns forever. I've been working with InDesign for over 20 years and it's the first time I have so much trouble with the software. How can that be fixed?

    Select a frame.

    Choose Object > Fitting > Frame Fitting Options.

    Select Auto-Fit> Fitting:None > Align From: Centre and then click OK:

    Then Choose the same Object > Fitting > Frame Fitting Options. and the Fitting: has not saved 'None' but reverted back to 'Fill Frame Proportionally'.

    I have to do this multiple times before it saves the correct Fitting:

16. Linked Image Canvas Resampling Pixelated Issue

    When a linked image canvas size greatly exceeds the image frame size, the linked image is pixelated in both the InDesign preview and the PNG export. JPG exports do not exhibit this issue.

    Please note in the attached images two different linked PSD files. The file on left is cropped to the extent of the rasterized letter 'a'. In the file on the right, the rasterized 'a' has the same pixel dimensions as the first, but the Photoshop document canvas is much larger. This results in a poorly resampled PNG export.

17. 17.0.1 crashes adding links

    Every time I try to add or change a link in the links panel, InDesign crashes.

    I restart InDesign and it tells my my file might be damaged. Do I still want to open it.

    I open it. All seems ok. Try to change a link again, and InDesign crashes.

    This is so frustrating!!

19. 2021 variable font repeatedly unavailable causing InDesign to freeze

    In InDesign (version 17.0.1), I am using Acumin Variable, which initially shows up with no issues. However, InDesign begins freezing and minutes later, a pop up notification says the variable font is unavailable. This has been on-going and other designers I collaborate with are experiencing the same problem with this font.

20. pages breaking and vertical lines on screen

    When i am working in any document since updating to Indesign 17 including the recent 17.0.1 the pages start to get vertical lines and horizontal lines, and the design elements start overlapping or having duplicates, tables will not display as aligned, trying to select text and my curser is really clicking 2 lines above. If i click "W" to toggle between Presentation view and back sometimes that will fix some of it and other times it will make it worse. I have attached a few screen shots to show how it will display different pages. When i go to export this it is fine in PDF format, but it is making it very challenging to work with, and with some huge 150+ page books we are working on, the file is saved in this version now and we are afraid to revert back to the 16.X version of indesign for fear of creating issues with out client document. I have uninstalled indesign completly including all settings and preferences and reinstalled but that has not helped with the issue.
