Spellcheck marking correctly spelled words as incorrect
Using the most current version of CC ID
I always have dynamic spelling turned on, and my dictionary is set to English USA, however, some files appear to have flagged correctly spelled words as incorrect, while other files appear to be normal. Screenshot examples, 'Dark' and 'Inspiration'.The issue seemed to come on randomly
Saving as IDML does not fix the issue, nor does restarting the program2 votes -
Endnotes remain editable when parent story is locked
InDesign versions 14, 15, & 16
An endnote should be locked for editing if its parent story is checked out.
Currently, endnotes can be edited in InDesign even if the parent story is locked (if it's being edited in InCopy, for example). This can create a situation where content can be lost without any warning. When the link is updated in InDesign, InCopy's endnotes "win" and overwrite any changes that were made in InDesign (see attached 1_conflict.png).
Worse, an endnote can be removed while its parent story is checked out. The endnote marker is removed even though the parent story…

Endnotes user content can leak into the main story
InDesign/InCopy 2021 16.x
Editing a story with InCopy shouldn't cause user-entered extra endnote content to leak into the main story.
The first character of user content directly after the terminating endnote marker (so in the same paragraph as the terminating endnote marker) can leak into the main story when the story's link is updated.
The attached screenshot (leakedtext.png) shows Story A (Id1), which has some user content directly after each endnote, being exported to and viewed in InCopy (Ic), where an X, Y, and Z have found their way from the endnotes into the main story during the opening of…

Spell Check keeps defaulting to Polish.
I need to spell check my document but none of the words are in the dictionary. The spell check dictionary keeps defaulting to Polish even when I change it to English. I have set it as English US in every place I can find but it keeps defaulting to Polish for spell check.
Help.

Split columns not working in cell
The span/split column paragraph setting doesn't work if the text happens to be inside a cell.
So you can't have your paragraph split into two columns inside a table.
Please fix!

Fit Content to Frame on textbox makes huge gap at the bottom
InDesign 16.1 x64 on Windows 10
When I select a textbox and select Fit Frame to Content (by shortcut, menu or toolbar button), the textbox is resized correctly on the horizontal plane, but the height of textbox jumps to an incredibly stupid size.
Double-clicking on the bottom centre textbox frame handle then resizes the height correctly - thus creating an extra step for the functionality that was previously a single shortcut key.
Video attached.

Cannot place Excel .xlsm files
Adobe InDesign 2021's File > Place... dialog does not allow the selection of Excel .xlsm files even though it appears to be capable of importing them.
On Windows, this can be worked around somewhat painfully by showing "All Files" in the Place dialog, but in macOS there is no similar workaround.

Apple M1 Mac mini. Big Sur, InDesign CC 2021, tables are SLOW
I've created a 6 column, 355 row table. No fill, default black stroke. I've created this same table, from the same data 100 times on my 2015 imac, running InDesign 2017 thru 2020. High Sierra was the highest MacOS on previous computer
When I copy a word or phrase (100 or fewer characters) and paste it into another cell, it is showing the thinking beachball for 15 seconds. I'm simply double clicking on 5 characters to copy, then clicking into another table cell to paste the word. Everything that I had previously completed using tables in previous versions was quick.…2 votes -
Document Fonts slows everything down
There is a huge speed / usability problem with text boxes that happens when there is a Document Fonts folder contiguous to the InDesign file. I think it doesn't even have to be a text box with a font from Document Fonts.
Clicking into or escaping out of text boxes impossible or freezes InDesign. Whole app is super slow, and unusable.

Type tool deselects itself InDD 16.0
Type tool deselects itself InDD 16.0
The bug has been already reported, it's been claimed to be fixed a while back, but actually still persists. I personally never had this problem before, but after updating to v16 a few weeks ago I get it now.
Typing "T" just selects the type tool very briefly, then changes back to the previous tool. Clicking inside a text frame has the same result, even if you get to select some part of the text, it just changes back to the previous tool in most of the cases. The only way to get it…

'Apply italic' Shortcut Issue
Prior to v16, Shift-Command-I applied the active font's italic to selected text. But in v16, it is applying the font's bold italic.
I see no way to affect this in the Keyboard shortcuts panel. It simply lists "Apply italic" with the correct shortcut.

Stroke Drawing Order | Row Strokes In Front issue
Hi everyone,
I'm facing a problem in indesign and I assume this should be reported as a bug unless someone has a solution to it, so…
I work with a lot of tables, and sometimes, for more lisibility, I have a insert "gutters" to table columns (actually it's white right strokes on my cells), sometimes it's just the client who wants them everywhere on tables. Anyway, there's a great feature in table styles that let me decide whether the row stroke is above the column stroke or the other way.
it works perfectly when choosing Column Strokes In Front, every…

Paragraph bottom border overlaps the text
As I mentioned here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/paragraph-bottom-border-overlaps-the-text/m-p/11348398?page=1 the issue occurs when I set a paragraph style with a border and additionally anchor a text frame at the end of it. The border overlaps each time changes to text are made (additional lines, adding a page, deleting a page – everything that causes the flow of the text).
Some similar issue was reported here https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38784706-footnotes-in-paragraph-borders-style by swapan.
InDesign version ID 2020 15.1.1 and PR Installer (15.1.2.221) on Windows 10. The problem occurs since I have started using a combination paragraph border + anchored text frame (more than 8 month ago). For testing I…

Czech Winsoft dictionary is broken: all lowercase words are marked as misspelled (CC2020)
The spellcheck of Czech text is not working correctly if you select Winsoft dictionary in all versions of CC2020: it marks all words starting with lower case letter as wrong and recommends capitalising ALL words. Unfortunately the Winsoft dictionary is the only option for Czech language as both Hunspell and Proximity are really bad.
1 Type Czech text
2 Set Winsoft dictionaries in InDesign preferences
3 Run spell checker
4 All words in lowercase will be marked as misspelled (each word is treated as if it stands at the beginning of a sentence)Expected result: see CS6, Winsoft dictionaries work…

rectangle frame tool
The large X in the frame has disappeared when using the rectangular frame tool. Is this a preference issue or a change to the basic functionality of InDesign? I would really like to be able to use it again. It made my work a lot easier.
