Data Merge causes crash/lock-up when displaying panels on second screen
When displaying my panels on a second monitor using InDesign and then trying to begin a data merge the application crashes and becomes unresponsive.
If I change the layout of the panels to one screen (the default layout) it works fine.
I've uninstalled InDesign and reinstalled, also deleting my preferences folders/files.
I can select the data source and insert one field, but then clicking on anything else after the first field has been inserted causes the application to stop responding.
I've attached a screenshot of the panels on the second screen for your reference - there are no panels on…

On the Radar? New character for uppercase "ß" in germany – dont forget to be able to disable auto-"ß" into SS…
If I use shift+"ß", InDesign changes to "SS" – so far so good. But that got revised 29.7.2017. I hope thats on InD's radar.
"Anfang 2008 wurde das große ß als neues Zeichen in den internationalen Standard Unicode für Computerzeichensätze aufgenommen, am 24. Juni 2008 trat die entsprechende Ergänzung der Norm ISO/IEC 10646 in Kraft.[1] Seit dem 29. Juni 2017 ist das ẞ Bestandteil der amtlichen deutschen Rechtschreibung.[2][3]"

InDesign freezing when pressing backspace in a text box of more than 500 or 600 words
This only seems to be a problem when using long text boxes more than a few hundred words. InDesign starts to slow down while I'm typing, but if I then select text or press backspace (mostly the latter) then InDesign freezes for 10 to 15 seconds.
I've searched the problem, but the only solution I have found is to try closing the info panel, but this seems to be a CS3 fix and doesn't work.

CC Files in InDesign not showing up
I shared files using CC Files for teams using my work account, and the sync with my account on my home computer in the user folder/creative cloud files, however they don't show up in the START workspace when I launch InDesign. How do I get these files to show up in the application?

The order of Arabic digits is reversed when changing their character direction
- Adobe InDesign CC 2017.1
- Create a textbox, type Arabic characters including some digits. Change character direction from 'Default' to 'Right to Left'.
- Arabic letters are RTL, but Arabic digits are written LTR; So when you change character direction to RTL, they should be in their right direction.
- Letters are RTL, but digits are reversed. The problem is that Arabic script is written RTL, but its digits' direction is LTR. Just like when you move caret and logically it moves in correct direction.

Hyperlinks
I use a lot of hyperlinks in a document which link to the individual products on our website for online ordering and stock levels.
The Hyperlink panel frequently corrupts - I lose the ‘traffic light’ link status indicator and location of the link (page No.) - meaning I have to remove InDesign and execute a clean install to get the feature back.

The first letter typed in is English even when my system is set to Hebrew
I'm using Indesign 20.5 on an Intel Mac Pro running Mac OS Sequoia 15.6.
Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Insert a new text box and enter some English text.
2. Select the text
3. Change the keyboard input to Hebrew.
4. Start typing in Hebrew.The resulting text will be an English letter (corresponding to the Hebrew letter typed in) followed by the correct Hebrew letters typed.
Two things to note:
1. You must select all the text in the text box for this issue to take place.
2. For some reason Adobe fonts are immune…2 votes -
Preferences reset popup penalty
When an existing user has been driven by degrading performance to the extreme step of resetting user preferences, please do not also make us undergo the maddening experience of dealing with the ENDLESS blue popups / tooltips / ads for the features we've already seen and considered. You could make an argument for forcing a user to deal with the blue boxes on a major upgrade. A preferences reset is not the same situation. Please consider reducing the burden of this type of visual pollution in our workspaces.

Add colour values to swatch list when placing file from Illustrator
It would be beneficial if, when placing a file in an InDesign document from illustrator, that the colour value information of that file be added to the Swatches menu. Strangely, the colour values do import into my Swatches when I copy and paste an object I’ve created in Illustrator onto my artboard but not when I place/import that object within a picture box.
Another minor gripe - when pasting an object it does not retain the name of the colour if it has a custom name - it only brings the swatch in as the colour values.

Despite having named the pages with a letter (here, "C" in the screenshot) the pages are not correctly named.

Bug: Wrong centered text justification in round text frames
Center-aligned text in round text frames is misaligned, i.e. too far to the left. Please see screenshots for all details.
As soon as you convert the frame to a rectangular one, text is aligned to center correctly.
This is simply a calculation bug which should be fixed now finally - it persists for years already.2 votes -
Eyedropper tool should not copy content fill by default.
I don't think I have ever needed to copy the content fill settings from one image frame to another, but by default the eyedropper tool copies how the photo fills the frame, which is pretty annoying.
Requested Feature: Please add a checkbox specifically for content fill. Please have it unchecked by default.
Right now you can only disable content fill from being apply by unchecking "color and tint," which doesn't make sense and is not intuitive.
Expectation 1: eyedrop a frame to copy it's color/stoke/ other attributes, but not content fill which changes the size/position of the image within the…

Creative Suite apps are INSANELY slow
All Creative Cloud programs are insanely slow and lagging. It's nearly impossible to use 2 or 3 of them at the same time, and I need to restart my computer every hour to even be able to do some very basic tasks. The problem is happening in all programs, Indesign, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro ertc.
This is happening on ALL computers I used in past years, and everything was up to date. It's not about 3rd party add-ons or resetting preferences, or any advice you offer.
Some weeks ago I killed off all Adobe/CC background processes and everything worked perfect until…2 votes -
