Renaming CC Library Elements
Renaming elements that have been stored in the Creative Cloud Libraries panel is unstable and can use improvements.
• There is no clear cursor to know where you are in the name.
• Double clicking to highlight a word, once in the rename mode, common practice everywhere else, ends up opening the library item, not selecting the word you intended.
• Doing a slow double click on the name, like you can do in the Layers panel to rename a layer doesn't work either.4 votes -

user preferences not holding
Adobe InDesign CC 2017 - being used in a Virtual Machine (VM) - VMware Horizon Client.
User preferences are not holding when I switch them to what I like. Yes I quite the application after setting them and then sometimes they will be the same but then sometimes when I open ID they revert back to the default settings.

macOS full screen support please
My workflow makes use of macOS workspaces, but this requires my applications to support Full Screen mode in macOS. Adobe CC apps do not and I'm fairly sure this is intentional, but it doesn't align with the way many users work.
Please add macOS Full Screen/Workspaces functionality in future updates of InDesign and other CC applications. Thanks!

The ability to resize all suitable dialogue boxes
There are some boxes that aren't resizable that make work frustrating to have to scroll back & forth - e.g. the "Table of Contents..." box - would like to be able to resize these sort of boxes to be able to see the entire list in a view. There are others but they escape me atm. I'll post the list as I come across them.

Adobe Indesign Ruler - Corrupt Display
Adobe Indesign Ruler - Corrupt Display.
When opening a document and mousing thru the document the display of the ruler starts to add "marks" in the measurements.
We have been able to reproduce this in versions 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018.
We have gone and used the rename "enUS" method and it only works temporarily.
The issue is sporadic and can happen on new documents or old.
Also sporadic through out the versions as well - same document can happen on one version and not another version.
All application updates have been applied as well as Mac OS updates for…4 votes -

Can't use num. keypad for shortkeys
Hi, I'm using InDesign v 13.1 x64 (up to date) on my laptop (Windows 10).
On Photoshop and Illustrator, I've no issue with shortkeys but on InDesign, I can't do "CTRL+0" for example. When I try to edit shortkeys, the software doesn't recognize my input, as if I wasn't pressing "0".
Thanks for fixing it. :)4 votesIn InDesign, the numeric keypad is only meant to assign shortcuts to Styles – Paragraph, Character, Object, Table.
For assigning shortcuts to other Application’s commands, you’ll have to use the other shortcuts – for e.g., to use Cmd+1 to bring image to 100%, you will have to press Cmd and the ‘1’ key that is above the letter keys (on English keyboard, 1 is above letter Q).
Hope it helps to clarify how shortcuts work in InDesign.

InDesign resets window position set by Magnet utility on macOS
In the current v19.4 (2024), when I use the common utility Magnet to resize the InDesign window (i.e. the Application Frame) to full screen, InDesign itself will reset the window position as soon as I ⌘-tab out of InDesign and return to it. No other app on my Mac does this, and it's very frustrating. Manual window size changes are honoured.
There are other inconcistencies about InDesign's window positioning on macOS too — if it opens on my laptop screen, the application bar (above the control panel) appears under the menu bar and is almost invisible.
Please fix.

Inconsistent names of spaces in Czech UI
There is a mess in the names of spaces in Czech UI. The names of spaces are not consistent:
Em Space = "Em mezera" or "Dlouhá mezera"
En Space = "En mezera" or "Krátká mezera"
Nonbreaking Space = "Pevná mezera" or "Nedělitelná mezera"Depending on the situation, the user sees either one or the other name for an identical space.
I suggest to:
1. Use "En mezera" and "Em mezera" only. It is not the traditional Czech name, it is an Anglicism, but quite widespread and understandable
2. Use "Čtverčíková mezera" and "Půlčtverčíková mezera", the traditional typographic terms, nevertheless some…3 votes -

pages breaking and vertical lines on screen
When i am working in any document since updating to Indesign 17 including the recent 17.0.1 the pages start to get vertical lines and horizontal lines, and the design elements start overlapping or having duplicates, tables will not display as aligned, trying to select text and my curser is really clicking 2 lines above. If i click "W" to toggle between Presentation view and back sometimes that will fix some of it and other times it will make it worse. I have attached a few screen shots to show how it will display different pages. When i go to export…
