Verifying "Adobe InDesign 2021"
Since updating to 2021 versions of Creative Cloud applications, there's a persistent 'Verifying "Adobe _____ 2021" message that pops up frequently.
Once you see these, you can't get rid of them. A restart is required.
The version is the latest version (16.0.2)
Steps to reproduce: Update and then open InDesign
Expected result: InDesign opens normally, verifies and the verification message disappears
Actual result: The verification message never goes away. The cross icon doesn't work.

Guides/Grids not showing
InDesign16.02 & 16.01
For some reason today, when I opened an InDesign file from a packaged InDesign folder in the latest version of InDesign, I could not view the page margins, document grid, baseline grid or ruler guides. I tried toggling them with the shortcuts and by directly selecting them from the InDesign menu. I uninstalled the latest version and tried the previous to make sure it wasn't a version issue. I had the same result. No grids or guides would show no matter what I tried. I checked the threshold and made sure I was within it which I was.
I tried opening another InDesign filed that had been packaged and I had the same result. I have tried this both on my iMac and my Macbook with the same result.
I was finally able to get the guides to show when I opened the IDML file from the packaged folder.
I believe this is a bug when opening packaged INDD files.

Share for Review -Disappearing tools
I have Indesign 16.0.
On my first test of share for review, all the tools appeared.
after saving it they disappeared. Then I saw that save as function disrupts the process.
Then I signed out of my account and rebooted.
When I signed back in the tools were there again.
I opened another document (made in InDesign 16.0) and the tools were gone.THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!
How do I get the tools to stay consistently?2 votes -
Exporting Fixed Layout ePub files from InDesign has errors
A document exported from InDesign with a fixed layout selected has errors included in the file. Actually, the fixed layout epub is not able to be opened even in Adobe Editions PC version. Can this error be addressed and fixed?

Text anchors in alternate layouts break
If I create a document with text anchors and then make an alternate layout, InDesign gets confused as to where the links should go. I would love to be able to create the alternate layout and have InDesign understand that those links go to the locations in the newly created layout.
Apparently, the broken text anchors in alternate layouts have been an issue for a while. Here's a thread on Creative Pro (https://creativepro.com/topic/text-anchors-in-alternate-layouts-broken/) from 2013 about it.

Document Fonts slows everything down
There is a huge speed / usability problem with text boxes that happens when there is a Document Fonts folder contiguous to the InDesign file. I think it doesn't even have to be a text box with a font from Document Fonts.
Clicking into or escaping out of text boxes impossible or freezes InDesign. Whole app is super slow, and unusable.

spacebar used as toggle for hand tool from another tool
When using any tool—after using the spacebar to access the hand tool temporarily, the hand tool then remains. It does not toggle back to the tool used previously.

Rendering intent not being respected switching color spaces inside Swatch-Panel
Hi there,
so apparently the rendering intent set in the document OR the application isn't being respected when the color space of a swatch is being changed e.g. from RGB to CMYK.
Tested in InDesign 15.1.3 and 16.0.1
Steps to reproduce:
1 create a new document, with working spaces sRGB and "PSO coated v3" (profile available on eci.org)
2 create a swatch, e.g. RGB 0 / 98 / 227
3 change to CMYK, results in the correct 90,64 / 63,6 / 0 / 0Now
- go back to step 2
- change the "Solid Color" rendering intent of the document to Perceptual
- now change the RGB swatch to CMYK again, results in the same, but now definitely WRONG color value.Expected behaviour:
after changing the rendering intent the swatch should result into
89 / 64 / 0 / 0Be aware: this only affects switching the swatch. If I keep the RGB swatch and export to PDF with color conversion the applied color is correctly converted.
It doesn't matter which color space is used , RGB -> LAB also results in the exact same values.*
[edit: * this sentence is nonsense since rendering intent is used for mapping LAB to CMYK/RGB]
Thanks in advance
Best regards

Organize styles per book, not per file.
Having to synch the styles manually instead of just having the styles available throughout the book is a pain. Also I cannot synch single styles. There is an object style I use for chapter headings, the objects get displaced everytime I synch.

Email Hyperlink Breaks
In the Hyperlinks panel, Email hyperlinks that include a subject that includes an ampersand will change from an Email-type to a URL-type when you click OK. Status will then appear as a red dot in the Hyperlinks panel instead of an envelope. Opening it again from the Hyperlinks panel will show the subject gone and in a URL format.
TO TEST - Highlight text in your document. Open the Hyperlinks Panel. Create a new hyperlink with the [+] button at the bottom of the panel, choose email as the type, type a valid email address, then enter a subject line that include an ampersand (&) . Click OK.
THE FIX - Removing the ampersand from the subject line will keep the issue from occurring.

Indesign 16.0.1 on my month-old iMac, crashes daily usually when I'm saving my 80 page catalog, I don't know when it will happen. The book contains links from Drive, Dropbox and another computer.

InDesign 16.0.1 can't recover file from crash
Running InDesign 16.0.1 on Catalina. Mac workstation connected SMB to Windows server.
InDesign crashes shortly after working in a different program and returning to InDesign. Report the crash then try to reopen InDesign from doc icon (or CC). It crashes again. Report, reopen from doc icon (or CC, or in applications folder). Get error message that InDesign crashed trying to load the recovery file, can't locate the recovery file. In order to open InDesign I must click "no" to not try to recover the file.
I have reset preferences, created a new workspace (instead of using previous version's saved workspace), uninstalled and reinstalled several times.
Mostly returning to InDesign from Chrome – Version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (x86_64). Or from Photoshop 22.1.
The recovery folder has 70 files from Oct.-Dec. 2020.
Attached are screenshots of the crash reports and the error message from InDesign. There was only one doc open and it was saved with a filename, there was no "untitled" file open.
