Horizontal lines appear on a regular basis
Horizontal lines appear on a regular basis. Very frustrating. They appear when I scroll up or down, generally when zoomed in. I have to clear them with 'Hide Guides' keys (Command, semicolon key).
Also, the 'Hide Guide’ feature is flaky when using the short cut command. The guides will not remain in the 'Show Guide'I mode. I then have to use the menu to activate.

Stripped down workspace when opening document
- Using 17.1 x64 on a Windows 10 machine
- When InDesign is closed, if I double click on a file to open it, the program opens with a minimal workspace; no panels, no toolbar at the top of the screen, nothing. If I open the program first, and then open a file (either through the file menu, or by doubleclicking on the icon in File Explorer, the program opens with my correct workspace.
- Opening the program, no matter how I access it, should open with my selected workspace.
- It opens without any panels, toolbars or the option to change to a…

Paragraph borders and shading
Corner size and shape arrows don't work. You have to manually type in a value. I thought that in doing so it would activate the arrows but no.

Drop Shadow is Very Buggy Within the App for Text
The drop shadow effect is very buggy in the editor and has been for quite some time. I just dealt with it for the longest time but it seriously slows down production when I'm constantly having to "fix" it by making a change to the text then Undoing it (i.e. delete a character, then press Command+Z). The bug happens when Drop Shadow is applied to text and you scroll down the page a bit. The attached images show the before and after. If I scroll down the page after "fixing" it, it just re-bugs out. I work with white text…

Home Welcome Screen Blank After Update on all Apps
After the recent set of updates, Indesign does not show the welcome screen. When i try to create a new document (CNTRL+N, File>New>Document) the app hangs and i have to restart the app. I am able to open existing files, but not create new ones. Worked around the problem by selecting "Use Legacy New Document Dialog", but i would like to get my home/Welcome screen back.
OS: Windows 10
Indesign Version: 17.1PS: having the same issue on Ilustrator and Photoshop, although those two apps dont hang

I wish Adobe would fix the issue cannot openn file up. You may not have permission or the document may already be open so people like me don't have to rename the file that wouldn't open up or change the location where the file is saved at all.

won't save
InDesign 2021 randomly looses the ability to export or save. The dialog box won't even come up, even though the menu option isn't greyed out. This makes me loose all progress.

When adding a swatch color to a flat grayscale image, setting the tint makes the color darker in stead of lighter.
See how the color preview behaves the right way, but the image does not.1 vote -

InDesign v.17.1: Crashes while pasting.
InDesign v.17.1: Crashes while pasting. Elements disappearing. Working on an InDesign 2020 file, 2nd edition of a book. It's a 496-page book, full of tables and images. For some unknown reason, a lot of elements have just disappeared from a few pages and when I try to paste anything into the file, InDesign just shuts down. Please help.
PS: After a couple of hours of searching, I found this text frame containing the text that has disappeared. It has a chapter name that had gone missing. This has happened only in one section of the book. This particular style 'Chapter…

InDesign is removing caps from file names
InDesign 17.1 x64 Often (most of the time, but not always) when I overwrite (File Save As) or Export to a PDF that already exists and overwrite the current file, the new file name becomes all small letters (removes my caps). It only happens with InDesign. I can overwrite PDFs from Word, Access, etc and it never happens. This is very frustrating. Just started happening with version 17.

PDF's Exporting at Large File Sizes
I've been running into an issue with PDF's exporting at large file sizes. This became apparent to me after the 2022 update. Here is an example of how this occurs and disrupts my workflow.
I recently sent a exported a PDF from an indd project that linked to 13 PSD's. The exported PDF file size came to relatively manageable 10 MBs.
I later updated the same project, now including 20 linked PSD's. This PDF export came to 184 MBs!
When I've run into this in the past, I've had to either convert the PSD's to JPG's, or run some kind…

InDesign Server removes locks from locked layers during opening the document
Hi,
We ran into to the following issue on InDesign Server: after opening, saving and closing a document that contains layers that are locked, these layers become unlocked.
The issue is reproducible on InDesign Server 16.4.0, 16.4.1, 17.0.0.
The issue is not reproducible with version 15.x and 16.0.0, so it must have been introduced in InDesign Server 16.2.1 or 16.4.0.
Scenario (on IDS 16.4.1):
InDesign: create a document ‘~/Desktop/local2021.indd’
Create 3 layers
Lock all layers
Save and close the document
Run the script below on InDesign Server 2021 (16.4.1),
targetengine "session"
function main()
{
try {
var docFile = new…1 vote
