Tagged artifacts are not propery exported to PDF
- CC 2017.1
- Create an InDesign Document with correct tagging, articles, etc. Spend hours because there is no simple way doing this without expensive plugins. Our small monthly payment is used to include more important functions like Stock-Photos. Export PDF, correct some minor errors and check it with PAC. You´ll get many Content errors, because artifacts are not properly tagged. Try to solve it in Acrobat with the tags/order/...-panel. Spend more hours with vanishing objects and many other amusing bugs. Find the Preflight-Tool to tag all objects at once.
- Correct tagging while generating the PDF.
- Lost my mind ... Please overhaul…

eyedropper tool doesn't work any more and scrollbar disappears in color panel
Since i update MacOS Sierra (10.12.6 version), when i try to copy a text style with the eyedropper tool, it doesn't work. Instead to copy the right style, the text becomes always white.
Other problem: in the color palette, there is no more the scroll bar: haw can i see the colours continue below the end of the window??
And also the indicator of the color type (rgb, cmyk, pantone...) doesn't appear next to the single color.
Other problem: sometimes when i open in design, it doesn't show the palettes. I have to restart several times. I verified the same…4 votes -

Master-double-page with bleed makes mistake in assigning a single page
- InDesign 2017.1
- DIN A5 document with double-page and 3 mm bleed. On master-double-page A is no background and on master-double-page B is a full-faced background on the left page and a full-faced background on the right page. If I assign the right page of master-page B, the left page-background will also displayed on the left page (assigned with master page A, where is no background!!!). This just happens if the background of the master-page is set to the bleed (on top-left and bottom). The backgrounds are exact positioned and are not on the opposite page. See screenshots!

Text Frame Otpion
Text hops around in text box from top to bottom when moving text frame. I have seen a lot people online having the same issue. Only work around, and it's just that a work around not a fix, every time you place text you have to go to Object>Text Frame Options>Baseline Option and click "Use Custom Baseline Grid". Doing this every single time I place text is getting rather tedious. Just encountered bug today, restarted both indesign and imac, the bug stayed. About to re-install indesign all together.

Locked objects get selected
Not sure why adobe changed the lock of an item. It used to work perfect to lock my background objects. Now, it I have background objects; they still get selected even if they are locked; it's such a huge inconvenience and waste of time to sort selected objects. Please fix or put back the lock object.

Change to gap tool made it useless for measurement
PRior to the latest update I could use the gap tool to hover between items and see in a moment the distance between them. Now the text color is so pale I can barely see it when hovering. Probably not an intentional change.
4 votesWe have made improvements to the readability aspect in the Control panel fields when using the Gap Tool in InDesign CC 2018. You will see a marked change as compared to InDesign CC 2017.
Closing this thread as we are no more hearing from users about this issue.Thanks,

InDesign interface has issues after exiting touch mode
To replicate the bug, have at least two documents open.
After using touch mode and then switching to normal (essentials), the status bar at the end of the current document (contains pages, etc.) will look a little rough. In the document that was not focused, the entire status bar background is missing. In addition, on that document the scrollbars disappear and flash while you scroll, which is a little disturbing for your eyes.4 votes -

History / Control + Z, Control + Shift + Z Functionality Broken
When using the program normally, indesign will periodically delete ALL history between the current action and "Open" and erase it. Often within seconds of performing said actions. This has hamstrung all functionality of indesign in the context we use it for.
Reproduction: Normal Use
Version: Indesign 20.5.1
Expected result: History stretching back to document open, related undo/redo functionality
Actual result: Not that. No document history besides open, no related functionality.
Attached file shows a document that had been open and actively worked on for 3 hours prior to viewing the history panel, as well as the history actions being removed…

Highlighting or Changing Text
I’m experiencing an issue when highlighting text to delete it, changing the case, or switching fonts. The entire text, including the text above (on the same page), disappears. If I scroll up and then back down, I can make it reappear.
