1. Bottom toolbar/scroll bar dissapears when in fullscreen mode

   At first i thought it was my monitors, but it also does it when I have InDesign open on my laptop. I'm running the latest Microsoft update, and when I select Fullscreen on the InDesign window, the bottom bar disappears, so I'm unable to use the bottom scrollbar. It only re-appears when i minimize the window

2. Save as... Open, Place... dialog panels too small

   In Big Sur, the Save as... (cmd-S) Open (cmd-O) and Place... (cmd-D) dialog boxes are too small. They only offer between three and six lines of text. However, you can drag the panel out to see more folders/files, BUT, it doesn't stick. When you've closed the dialog and open it again, it has reverted to the smaller size.

   Photoshop doesn't seem to suffer with this issue, but Illustrator does.

3. Hello, I am using online document sharing to retrieve comments directly into inDesign. Unfortunately, the name of the correctors are display

   Hello,
   I am using online document sharing to retrieve comments directly into inDesign.
   Unfortunately, the name of the correctors are displayed but their comments are invisible (text crossed out, underlined or added text).
   A small blue wheel spins next to the filters icon.
   Moreover, since this document sharing online, InDesign crashes every open.
   Thanks for your help

4. Disappearing panels

   Sometimes, when switching applications then back to InDesign, some of the panels are turned off. One that's particularly annoying is the Swatches panel. It doesn't always do it but when it does it's really annoying having to open it back up again.

   Resetting InDesign preferences doesn't fix it.

   This only seems to affect one Mac that's running El Capitan. We have others that are also on the same version of OS and same version of InDesign that don't do this.

5. InDesign not exporting chunks of tags

   Happening in multiple documents. Some of these documents were originally created by other people and some documents I have created from scratch.

   Set up indd file for accessibility. Everything done correctly: all text boxes linked, all tags applied, articles created, articles have "Use for Tagging Order in Tagged PDF" checked. And yet, whole pages of the document are not tagged at all in the pdf.

   I go over the said pages with a fine tooth comb and there is nothing I can see that would stop them from exporting tags. Only solution I've found is to recreate the text box and reflow the copy or, in some cases, create two single text boxes instead of a 2 column text box.

   Considering that I have to work on some long documents sometimes, this troubleshooting can be painful and time consuming.

   indesign export to pdf unusable for Thai

   Basically all the diacritics are messed up, regardless of font used. The PDF looks fine but the text if copied from the PdF is garbled.
   This is in 16.2.1 (2021). It was working in 2019.

8. Preflight bug for non-proportional scaling glyphs text

   Still, I think it's either a bug with preflight or at least an unexpected behavior of the preflight function.
   Preflight had an error with the first insertion point after the auto bullet; not with a specific character.
   At least it says that the error is related to the bullet, but it is showing an insertion point only when I click to select the error on the page.

   FWIW: At least the individual information on the shown error is highly misleading.

   Problem is described here and ID sample with the problem available at this address: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/new-problem-with-non-proportional-scaling/m-p/12903503#M474837

9. Paragraph border and shading error with anchored objects

   when anchored objects (such as column Text or line numbers) are anchored in a Text using the options "Paragraph border" and "paragraph Shading" the borders and Shades will "randomly" disappear, or new border-lines will appear (when more then one paragraphs are merged, the lines always appear between the different styles, even though they work fine again when the object is de-anchored). Sometimes the appearance doesn't change when an object is anchored, but when the anchored object is edited (for example, when the size of the anchored object is changed).

   This is reproducable on my Windows 10, using InDesign 15.1.4.
   Steps:
   - create a new document
   - create a paragraph styles using paragraph borders/ paragraph shading
   - create 1 or 2 more styles, based on the previously defined style
   - create an object-style using "benutzerdefiert" (individual?) - positioning
   - anchor 2 or 3 objects in the shaded text/ the text with borders

   The problem also sometimes appears when an object is anchored in a text using Paragraph border/ shading, when text anywhere else in the same story is edited.

   This issue continues to be seen in a PDF, which makes it really hard to have a stable document using this paragraph style options.

    When printing files from InDesign, we are experiencing issues. Random text is appearing bold that is not formatted as bold in the original working file. Also we are experiencing pictures imported that are pdfs as a black block and not showing the imported picture on the printed document. Do you have any recommendations on how this can be resolved? The only way we found to get around the matter is to create a pdf and print from the pdf. This issue has just been happening recently, we’ve never had this issue before.

    To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.

    We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding : Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

    We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2020.0.1 (if you’re not already on it). It contains a lot of stability fixes.

    If you still face this issue even after updating to the latest version of InDesign, please submit the crash report to us. (The guidelines to submit crash are available at (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html)

13. Text wrap - select subject - cancelling progress causes crash

    Clicking an image/object, choosing wrap around object shape and then type: Select subject will bring up the progress bar whilst it thinks about it. If you choose to cancel the progress then indesign crashes without an error code or crash dialogue.

    Have tried on 2024/2025 windows 10 and 11 and bug persists.

14. Tables with slanted header row

    When tables have long names for column headers, a good design solution is to ***** the header cells and their text, from 20-70 degrees.

    The table still needs to be live, editable, and adjustable (both the cells AND text) so that when needed, the headers can be changed from 60 degrees to 45 degrees.

    And when exported to PDF and EPUB, it needs to have the required accessibility tag structure:
    <Table>
    <TR>
    <TH> (header)
    <TH> (header)
    <TH> (header)
    <TH> (header)
    <TR>
    <TD> (data)
    <TD> (data)
    <TD> (data)
    <TD> (data)

    See attached screen cap of slanted column headers.

    All we can do at this time is merely rotate the text at fixed amounts: 90, 180, and 270 degrees (shown in the bottom of screen capture). This isn't enough for many table designs, especially for those needing to design for accessible PDF and EPUB.

15. OpenType features bug, missing glyphs on PDF export and convert to outlines

    I've run into a bug when converting text to outlines, and PDF export, relating to OpenType Features.

    I have a font, Chartwell, that has worked perfectly in InDesign for 13+ years. I recently received this bug report from a customer, but am able to recreate it on my end.

    In InDesign’s UI, everything still seems to work correctly. However, when exporting a PDF or converting the text to outlines, some glyphs disappear completely. (See image)

    The font uses complex Discretionary Ligatures to pull off substituting pie chart shapes. The issue doesn't appear for all discretionary ligatures, but something about this specific feature code is triggering something in InDesign? I’ve done some debugging, but can’t find the exact thing that is triggering it, although it may be related to changing text colors breaking context in a substitution.

    I believe the issue in InDesign, since this hasn’t been an issue in the past, doesn’t show up in Illustrator, and only happens on PDF export and creating outlines. I also believe I’m following the OpenType Feature spec correctly. (See second image for a simplified example of the feature code)

    I've created a simplified example InDesign file and OTF that shows the issue. I’m happy to send this over or talk directly to engineers, or help debug this further. Thanks

    More about the font in question: https://www.vectrotype.com/chartwell

16. Source Sans Pro latest version's properties have changed

    The latest version of Source Sans pro (version 3.006) appears to start lower down text frames than the previous version did which messes up months worth of existing projects. When I go to edit the copy, it all shifts down the text box by a few millimetres.

    In the attached image you can see two of the same text boxes - one is correct, and one has shifted down due to the font updating.

    I've spoken with InDesign support who said to log the issue here.

    As a temporary fix I have downloaded version 2.040 of the font from Github and this works perfectly.

17. PAC 2021 Error for InDesign generated PDF : Object reference not set to an instance of an object

    I am still getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object when testing pdf files in PAC 21. This error apparently relates to 'PDF Export using ZIP compression for images shows an “Insufficient data for an image” error on opening in Acrobat.

    This was supposed to be fixed in ID 18.5 but its now happening with every PDF I check for accessibility, even a single page with simple text.

    Working for local government and its imperative our PDF files exported from ID are fully accessible and tested. Seek an urgent fix.
