Window resizing doesn't work in 18.1
Hi, just updated to ID 18.1 and when I go to resize the document window to make it narrower (just grabbing the right side), it resizes the entire thing – height and width, doesn't go back to the way it was properly and ends up on the bottom of the screen, instead of just making the window narrower.

Fonts search and list not working properly
Indesign doesn't let me search for fonts in the search bar of the fonts list dropdown. I can start typing, and then one font comes up, and I can't continue typing to bring up the font I want.
Also, once I start typing in the fonts bar, I can no longer use my arrow keys to scroll through the fonts list and it's very frustrating.2 votes -

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

[BUG] PDF export creating with hidden attribute
We are an enterprise customer who haven't been able to get anywhere with the following:

please add back the pantone solid color books to indesign. It's the most needed pantone set and I can't use Indesign 2022 until this is fixed.

?bug re bulleted lists in v18
I have just opened an InDesign document I created in Aug 2022. I am now using InDesign v18.1 x42. It converted the document from Shivani.indd to Shivani.indd[converted], as I see it does when you open documents created in previous versions.
However, all my bulleted lists are no longer bulleted lists, they are just text, with the bullet symbol and a single space at the start of each line. When I select the text the bulleted list icon in “Bullets and Numbering” is no longer highlighted. But more of a problem is that clicking on “options” in “Bullets and Numbering” brings…

InDesign: Insert authors document's metadata without quotes
Version
Adobe InDesign up to 2023.Steps to reproduce the issues
Setting the active document’smetadataPreferences.author
with multiple authors, separated by comma or semicolon in a string via extendscript:
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.author = "Elric Wade; Anne Emu; Sophie Kumpir";
Expected result
The authors should be placed into the "Author" metadata field, separated by comma or semicolon.Actual result
The authors are placed into the "Author" metadata field, but all set within double quotes, so they appear to be one author, not multiple authors.Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)
See attached screenshot.Please make it possible to add…

Links palette issue
Hi there;
I'm encountering a bug with the "Links" palette. Specifically, for a long list of links, the "Link info" panel doesn't preview properly, but rather overlaps the main list of links. Similarly, if a link alphabetically appears towards the bottom of the list, it isn't possible to select it from the Links palette.
Hoping this can be fixed with the next INDD update?!

Paragraph panel very slow to open
InDesign v. 18.0 / working on Macbook Pro, macOS Ventura 13.0.1
Help! When I click on the Paragraph tools panel, it takes about 3 seconds for it to open. Other panels (characters, styles, swatches, etc.) open immediately.
This is a new issue with this version of InDesign. Is there something I can do to fix this?

matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor resets pasteboardMargins to [0,0]
In a script, app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor to 1 causes app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.pasteboardMargins to reset to [0,0].
Furthermore, setting the pasteboardMargins doesn't work after setting app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor to 1.
(While matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor is set to 0 everything works fine.)

EPUB Export with JPG images causes a validation error for the cover image due to an **already identified** InDesign bug
When you Export an EPUB with JPG images, it always causes a file type validation error for the cover image.
I have already identified the bug in InDesign. Instead of turning the cover art into an actual .jpg format, InDesign instead just rasterizes the first page of the book as a .png and changes the extension name of a .png file to .jpg without actually being the correct file format.
Please fix this.

InDesign 2023 18.0 /Users/user/Library/Application Support/Adobe InDesign/Version 18.0/en_US/InDesign Recovery/ filling up with DBTmp files
We have an automated process using InDesign to export the XML out of a .indd files. We are experiencing a scenario where InDesign is leaving behind numerous DBTmp files in /Users/user/Library/Application Support/Adobe InDesign/Version 18.0/en_US/InDesign Recovery/ to the point that our Mac is filling up a 500 Gig SSD. These files do not clean up after Quitting InDesign, a Reboot, attempting the Reset InDesign Preferences Shift-Control-Option-Command startup of InDesign. These files are also locked. In our scenario, we hit 119,000 files or so and InDesign just quit working due to the drive being full. I have attached a list of the…

Mysterious page breaks
Through several InDesign versions there is a problem with unintended page/column breaks. The bug is discussed in this forum thread:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/trouble-with-quot-mystery-quot-page-breaks-in-indesign/m-p/10838596
The workaround to remove Keep options and Balance ragged lines isn't a good one, I really need those options in a lot of my styles.
Sometimes it's enough to type a space at the end of the paragraph before the mysterious break for everything to pop back. This bug is a huge problem in collaboration with our InCopy clients who are not experienced users.
The bug is currently frequently encountered in both ID 17.4 and 18.0, but have been…2 votes -
Paste with Formatting Button Obscures Text
The new button to paste with or without text formatting is positioned so it covers up punctuation at the end of the text. This is a problem because you can't tell if the punctuation is correct and present unless you deselect, press Esc, etc. The button should be positioned lower, like the old OpenType button so all the text and punctuation can be clearly seen.

Font menu doesn't jump to the selected font in the list when font menu preview is enabled
Pre-Indesign 18.0 when accessing the font menu it jumps to the position in the list of the current font.
The same action in indesign 18.0 - the current font is selected in the Recent Fonts section as the top of the list. This is quite annoying.
If Front Preview is disabled in preferences, the pre-18.0 behaviour is the result, but of course there is then no preview.
EDIT: I set Type preferences - Number of recent font to display = 0 which has resolved my issue.
