Links panel content overflow
Since upgrading to InDesign 2024, we've encountered a persistent issue where the Links Panel becomes overwhelmed with linked assets. This overflow makes the panel difficult, if not impossible, to use effectively.
Problem Description:
The issue manifests when working with documents that contain a large number of unique linked assets. Upon selecting an asset (e.g., an image) within a page, the Links Panel attempts to highlight the corresponding link. However, instead of functioning as expected, the panel becomes cluttered and overflows with the document's other links, severely hindering our ability to work efficiently.
Steps to Reproduce:
Ensure your document contains a significant amount of unique linked assets.
Open the document and select any asset on the page.
Observe the behaviour of the Links Panel as it tries (and fails) to highlight the selected link amidst a chaotic overflow of other links.
Troubleshooting Attempts:
Reinstalled InDesign 2024.
Reset InDesign’s preferences to default.
Switched from a custom workspace back to the default workspace.
Despite these efforts, the problem persists. Attached is a screenshot illustrating the issue we're experiencing.
