1. InDesign Window Keeps Moving

   I keep running into issues with my InDesign application window moving around. The window continually resizes itself slightly or moves to the side of the monitor (cutting off access to some of the tools) when I haven't tried to resize it. This isn't a 'once in a while' issue; it's happening consistently, multiple times a session.

   I'm running Indesign 2024 on a MacBook Pro with Apple M2 Pro Chip and macOS Ventura 13.5.1.

   The issue also persists on my laptop monitor and when connected to external monitors (I run one 4K colour-accurate monitor and one standard 1080p monitor).

   It would be fantastic to have my application stay in the same place so I could focus on designing, and I haven't found any suggestions for fixes!

2. 19.2 Arabic version, missing periods in exported PDF

   In an exported pdf, periods (or other ending characters) at the end of paragraphs are missing, if the paragraphs were aligned right or justified in the original English version.
   The time-consuming work-around option is to make the period LTR char direction.

3. Objects transformed with the Shear-Tool aren't displayed correctly in Review and with Acrobat Extension for Chrome

   In my corporate design, I use rectangles with a shear angle of 45°. However, these rectangles are displayed incorrectly in the Review and in the Chrome browser with the Acrobat extension. Such rectangles are then not displayed at an angle, but as a larger rectangle. In the two uploaded images you can see the comparison of how it is designed in Indesign and how it then looks in the Review.
   Correcting this display error is very important to me. Of course, I could also draw the slanted rectangle with the path tool. But this is very impractical because I can't adjust the height and width.

4. Apple's Spoken Content not functioning in InDesign 19.2

   I use Apple's Spoken Content to have my Mac read my documents back to me as a way of proof reading sections at a time for continuity and structure (something no spell check provides). When I highlight text I want read aloud and hit the keyboard commands for Spoken Content, the Mac reads the actual file name of the document! If I copy and paste the text into a .indd file for InDesign 18.5.1 and repeat the steps, it works correctly and reads my text out loud. It works if I open any .indd file that is not saved in 19.2.
   PLEASE FIX THIS - accessibility for Spoken Content is a necessity for ADA users.

5. 19.2 Performance (esp. Type Tool)

   Starting with version 19, but especially with v. 19.2 (MacBook using Sonoma 14.3.1), InDesign just SLOGS. Every time I select the Type Tool, it's about 3-4 full seconds (including the "spinning ball" every time) before the type tool is accessible to me.

   I am a long-time power user of InDesign and this is incredibly frustrating. My brain and hands now work much faster than the application — didn't always used to be true. Click and wait...click and wait...click and wait. That's what using InDesign is like now. For 700 bucks a year. Yuck!

   Have you made the program TOO FAT, with too many features, so that core performance can't handle the weight anymore? I just want to make beautiful pages, meet my deadlines, and not want to punch the screen.

6. Hide spread does not work with publish online

   InDesign v 19.0 - Publish Online
   I welcomed the fairly new 'Hide Spread' option, which is long overdue. But unless this is a bug, I am astonished that the hide spread feature does not work when you use the Adobe Publish Online option!?
   I think the initial message said the hidden pages will be excluded when exporting (to PDF I presume), but I assumed it would also work when using the Publish Online option!
   But my experience publishing online just now shows me the hidden pages are always included. I changed paste board set-up to 'Digital Publishing' in case that was needed (made no difference), and checked the preferences in case there was a specific option to take up (there wasn't).
   Frustratingly a search of Adobe help and Google did not reveal whether this feature should work in Publish Online, or whether it did not.

   It doesn't sound like a stretch to have that hide spread feature working on Publish Online, and it just seems like an error or massive oversight for it not to be included or referenced.

7. XML tags are not allowing inside Footnotes

   We are handling huge STM Books and Journals and following XML workflow. Some of our books and journals will have huge footnotes with contents coded with client provided DTD. When applying the XML tagging to footnote contents, InDesign showing a warning that it's not allowed (attached the screenshot for reference)

   Due to this limitation, we're handling the XML based footnotes with different approach and unable to utilize the benefits of usual footnotes features, which includes footnotes moving to next page when the footnote references are moving, flowing the part of footnotes into next page(s) when the contents are exceeding the pages, etc.

   Please start enhancing the footnote features by allowing the XML structure as well to the contents, will benefit us and across globe to handle InDesign smoothly

9. Small implied movement when selecting elements

   I have an issue with the latest versions of InDesign.
   Whenever I select any element/object/text/images etc inside my Page or any pages, there is a delay in the selection with a tiny registered displacement of the selected object by one or 2 pixels.

   My only solution to fix it is to Cmd+z to invert the latest action that resulted from it. I didn't have that issue a month ago and it is very disruptive, could say that it is anti-productive. I am running Indesign on the latest version of Mac OS sonoma on a M1 max machine. The problem occurs in any situation (trackpad, inboard screen, second display, external mouse etc)

10. Link Name as Page Title in Share for Review

    I have no idea why it isn’t set up this way, as the title of "Link Name" certainly makes it sound like that would be the page title, but instead I find that every single document I share for review has the page title of "Files | Adobe Creative Cloud" which is supper annoying when I have to share a few different proofs in a messaging app. Messaging apps (like Skype) convert the link to a card that features the page title in bold, so I end up with a series of links that all look the exact same, with no way for the recipient to know what they are until they click on them. Can the page titles of Share For Review pages please be changed to what we set as the Link Name?

11. composite fonts

    InDesign VERSION 19.1
    I Created a new font using "composite fonts", chose the base font, latin & Numbers. after creating the new font, i selected the text frame and applied the new font i created (like i always did)
    the problem is, tha the latin letters showed up with wide spacing (wide tracking) - shown in the attached image.
    While teaching my student that, they told me the encountered the same problem. Since i have used it in the past i assume it is a bug

    Regards
    Erez

13. Disable the download video link in Publish Online

    When viewing video on Publish Online, there's an option to download the video. It would be nice to be able to turn that off when uploading in the same way that the sharing can be turned off.

    Thanks in advance.

14. Hebrew that is conditioinal text does not export properly to PDF.

    1. This is the case in InDesign 19.0, 19.0.1, 19.1, current beta version. 2-4. Hebrew text with diacriticals (vowels and others) that is marked as conditional text exports to PDF incorrectly. Diacritical marks are missing or misplaced. Sometimes an unexpected box appears. The same file, with conditions removed exports correctly to PDF. (Other exports, e.g., JPG) are correct. The same file exports properly in 18.5
    2. Attached files: a. Hebrew text with condition applied and same text without condition applied. This is the pdf export. I would provide the indd file but this webpage does not accept indd files. b. Screen with example of a strange box appearing and diacritical vowels missing on text that has an indesign condition applied.

15. Glitching and Lagging

    Mac OS Sonoma 14.2.1 (as well as previous release)
    InDesign 19.01 (as well as previous releases)
    Apple M1 Max

    InDesign (and Illustrator) have become infuriating to use. All graphics and text are constantly glitching when scrolling or zooming. When selecting an element for some reason there is a lag where it things that I am clicking and dragging the element cause it to move. Sometimes it moves a pixel or get thrown across the page.

    I have tried the following
    In Preferences,
    Disabled Animated Zoom to no effect.
    Disabled GPU Performance to no effect.
    Changed Both Display Performance options to Fast, to no effect.
    I have reinstalled InDesign, to no effect.
    I have uninstalled all of Creative Cloud (including apps) ran the clean up application and then reinstalled, to no effect.
    I completely wiped and reinstalled a fresh copy of Mac OS, Installed Creative Cloud and InDesign only and still had the issue.

    Ive had this issue for at least a month but the bug reporting process is so dogshit I figured someone else would report it. I guess not.

16. Footnotes won't number sequentially; cannot select multiple or all footnotes

    When I place a Word document with footnotes into InDesign, the footnote paragraphs become separated from each other. I cannot click and drag to highlight text from more than one footnote, and I cannot use Command>A to select all the footnotes. Command>A only highlights all the text from the single selected footnote. Furthermore, the numbered paragraph style applied to the footnote paragraphs won't recognize that there was a previous paragraph flowing to it, so each paragraph is numbered as number 1. Even though "continue from previous" is selected in the numbering options. Also, the numbering style from Word imports as just a text number at the beginning of the first sentence of each paragraph, rather than being converted into the numbering of the paragraph.

17. dual monitors - UI stays the size of the small monitor even when I drag it back to the large HD monitor

    Windows 10

    Monitor 1 is my Huion display tablet 16”
    Monitor 2 is main 32" Samsung monitor

    If I open InDesign with "extend these displays" checked in the windows display settings and then drag the program back to Monitor 2 (32" Samsung) - the work area is smaller and I cannot drag it to fill the screen. Also the text for all dialog boxes is too small and the program will not release from the settings of the Huion tablet.

    I need to be able to have InDesign behave like Photoshop - which opens up with the same scaling and text size for menus and normal sized dialog boxes on either monitor.

    This is a huge issue for me. I need to use the Huion tablet for Photoshop retouching and also need to be able to view the long document in InDesign on the larger monitor to view the original at a normal viewable size.

    Can you please fix this?

    I am not sure why it would be different for InDesign. Photoshop works seamlessly and retains the same appearance when dragged between the two monitors.

    It would be great if we could select which monitor to open individual programs on - but I am not sure how that would work.

    Thanks.

18. IDML export = master page items shift

    When a file is exported as IDML, master/parent page items have shifted. Happens most consistently on pages that are “based on” other pages. This happens whether an object style with positioning has been used or not, but is generally worse when positioning has been defined.

    This has been a persistent issue through the past several versions of ID.

19. Blank Document/Pasteboard when Display Profile Changes

    When the display profile changes, i.e., when using automatic profile switching when room lighting changes (Spyder), document pages and any items on the pasteboard disappear. The rest of the UI remains the same.

    The 'fix' suggested elsewhere is to turn GPU preview off. However, when you do that, clicking on the document/pasteboard makes both flash white and can also make the document jump leftward to the edge of the window.

    The only real fixes are to close and reopen the document(s) or restart InDesign.

    And just in case anyone is tempted to suggest I stop using Spyder or any other display calibrator, please don't.

20. Dragging the cursor and highlighting text not working

    Hello. I just updated my iMac to Sonoma (14.1.2), and now InDesign (19.0.1) has some new performance bugs.

    When using the "Type tool" and dragging the cursor over the text I want to select, the text flashes, and the page briefly goes completely white. When I stop dragging, the text appears normal, but because the page is a whiteout while dragging the cursor over the text, I have no idea what text I'm selecting or where my cursor is going.

    A similar thing happens when I want to select a few objects using the "Selection tool" to move or copy them. The disappearing text, objects, and flashing happen in both Normal view and Preview.

    Has anyone else had this experience?

    Addendum: BTW, this problem does not happen on my MacBook Pro, which has an Intel chip and is about three years old. However, my iMac is about a year old and has an M1 chip. Could this be the issue?
