1. Can't change the names of Object States

   In InDesign 16.1, the entry box for changing the names of Object States flashes open and closed in a fraction of a second—too fast for entering a new name. This was not a problem in previous versions of InDesign.

2. The UI is not scaling correctly on Windows 4k screens - UI too small

   Hi, I am having problems with the UI Scaling on InDesign on my 4k laptop. I am using the recommended system scaling of 250% which works well with other apps except for Adobe, most noticeably InDesign. I pay a premium price for Adobe CC which should be reflected in their products. The UI is way too small on InDesign compared to Illustrator and Photoshop.

   I also have problems in all adobe apps when using an external monitor to expand my screen size. Dragging the apps from one monitor to the other does all sorts of weird things.

   I have attached images showing the difference of the UI between Illustrator (which looks normal) and InDesign.

3. PDF comment zoom changes

   Steps to reproduce: .When clicking through the list of PDF comments and a new entry is called there is a chance that the zoom level of the Indesign view is being changed from its original setting. Expected result: the zoom level should be kept in line with the users setting. The focus should jump to the position even when a marked area might not be visible in full in that zoom level. Actual result: Zoom level changes, sometimes even when only a full stop has been marked in the PDF comment to e.g. full page view zoom which is time consuming as additional clicks are required to find the relevant position.

4. Share for Review breaks when INDD files are duplicated for versioning

   Everyone I know who uses InDesign duplicates files regularly to create various versions of documents. Share for Review seems to have a major problem with this. When I create multiple versions of a document by duplicating an original, InDesign cannot seem to differentiate between the various versions, even if they have different names and are completely separate files. The only solution seems to be if you have only one document open at a time and break the link to start over. It's maddening, as I have 9 versions of important documents that I need to share for review, and when I try to share, it thinks they are all the same file. This makes no sense.

5. endnotes hyperlinks

   Endnote hyperlinks are not working both ways.
   
   (1) I can go from text to the endnote by clicking on the endnote number in the text.
   
   (2) However, I can not go back to the text from the endnote by clicking on the endnote number. This is because the endnote number has been modified - font type, font size, and indents.

6. indesign crashes when inserting copied text from an external document

   indesign cc 2021 16.1

   I open an existing indesign document
   I copy text from a google doc / external file
   I insert text into existing connected text frame with the text spreading over both frames

   -> indesign crashes

   (restarting indesign did not help. restarting the mac did not help. wirting text by hand without copying works. copying text within the document works.)

7. UI Contextual Interface

   Contextual Menu

   In the latest update to the application, support for contextual UI interface management has actually got worse.

   I utilise a 'dual screen' like many, may designer. I find it unbelievable that Adobe continue to ignore professional reporting of your bugs and lack of real support for the program.

   Indesign's lack of contextual UI management is poor, inadequate and pretty much makes using dual screen even more difficult than the last release.

   Today, 31/01/2021 (Australia). I find that clicking on the type panel (which I have setup on the right monitor - displays the dropdown for the font size and many, many other components display of the left of the screen!

   Who is responsible for this woeful oversight? Who is actually trialling this software (in real world environments)?

   I'll also tell you, this isn't this first time I have report this inadequate UI.

   Forget some of the irrelevant updates and focus on ensuring the product is fit-for-purpose, because I can tell you - you're not making it easier to use the product, you're making it a lot harder.

   What's the point of having two monitors if you are going to force the UI components to render on the opposite monitor?

   Version: Latest: 16.1
   Steps to reproduce: Dual Monitor setup
   Expected Result: Correct display of contextual menus for all components, regardless of dual monitor use
   See example uploaded

   Regards, Paul.

9. InDesign 16.0.2 exports improper TAGS for "lists" (bullets)

   The InDesign source file, which we use annually to produce a report, is now exporting all lists (bullets) with individual <P> tags and not as a grouped (nested) list of <L> tags.

   Prior to the upgrade to InDesign 2021 (v. 16.0.2), the source file exported proper <L> tags. The same file, now converted (saved) as InDesign 2021 (v.16.02) has bad tags for bullet/list formatted items.

   V. 16.0.2 gives LESS ADA 508 compliancy on the export than the prior 2020 version.

11. windows moving out of sight

    I work with 2 screens. After a timeout (screen wakes up from afterdark), the floting tool windows jumped back to the main screen, partly out of sight. I can't use them anymore because the upper handle jumped above the workfield.
    The problem is not solved with returning to my saved workspace.
    I can only choose a standard wordspace, and have to order my tools again as prefered. (Quit anoying).
    I solution could be, that you can pick up a window also at its bottom. (Is now only at the top).

13. scale tool freeze

    I am using the latest InDesign CC 2021 and my operating system is: MacOS Catalina version:10.15.4. I can't use the scale tool very often. It happens to any file, not limited to a specific file. What happens is if I use scale tool for more than 3-4 times, the software will freeze. So in the dialogue box, I am not able to click into and enter any number, it is just frozen. I can't even right-click at the app icon to select "quit", I can only force quit through Apple command.
    Guess what! I just create a new Indesign file, drew a simple rectangular shape and tried to do the scale tool to get a screenshot for you guys then it froze straight away 😞
    This bug is there over years at my different working places through different imac and operating systems, it hasn't been fixed. I used "scale tool" in Illustrator a lot but I never had any problem. I hope I explained things well, really hope you intelligent technician can fix it.

20. InDesign stalls with with new MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

    InDesign is stalling (pausing for up to 30 second) regularly on my new MacBook Air with the Silicon M1 chip. I know it is an Intel Based program but I don't think the emulator is working. Shouldn't Rosetta 2 download automatically when I use InDesign? I presume you (the good folks at Adobe) are working to make it native to the new chip. Happy Holidays. Seth
