I HATE that I have to literally individually select each text in order for me to manipulate it in any way whether its changing the colors or size or the formatting. Its SUPER annoying and makes me and most of my classmates want to avoid using inDesign at all costs. We use it because our teacher makes us and there aren't many ways to do text formatting on illustrator. But on illustrator it can be easily done by just selecting all the text or using the eyedropper tool. But on indesign there are these stupid useless features like text box color. Im sure nobody uses that. And it it needs to go. If we want a background color for text we would just put a colored rectangle behind it. Im frustrated and annoying that when I select multiple texts it automatically assumes I want the background of that text to be that color NO ! NOBODY wants that! Highlighting each text individually is a PAIN and it takes forever when you have to do so many of them
I also find it super annoying that even if I copy and paste a text box with certain formatting on it the minute I erase the text and replace with another text it takes out all of the formatting. Again on Illustrator I don't have this issue.
This is supposed to be a publishing software please do better, and its 2021, but this is still an issue. Please do better.
