1. Rendering intent not being respected switching color spaces inside Swatch-Panel

   Hi there,

   so apparently the rendering intent set in the document OR the application isn't being respected when the color space of a swatch is being changed e.g. from RGB to CMYK.

   Tested in InDesign 15.1.3 and 16.0.1

   Steps to reproduce:
   1 create a new document, with working spaces sRGB and "PSO coated v3" (profile available on eci.org)
   2 create a swatch, e.g. RGB 0 / 98 / 227
   3 change to CMYK, results in the correct 90,64 / 63,6 / 0 / 0

   Now
   - go back to step 2
   - change the "Solid Color" rendering intent of the document to Perceptual
   - now change the RGB swatch to CMYK again, results in the same, but now definitely WRONG color value.

   Expected behaviour:
   after changing the rendering intent the swatch should result into
   89 / 64 / 0 / 0

   Be aware: this only affects switching the swatch. If I keep the RGB swatch and export to PDF with color conversion the applied color is correctly converted.

   It doesn't matter which color space is used , RGB -> LAB also results in the exact same values.*

   [edit: * this sentence is nonsense since rendering intent is used for mapping LAB to CMYK/RGB]

   Thanks in advance

   Best regards
   Jens

2. Editing a Gradient Swatch affects orientation

   When a Gradient Swatch is edited, the orientation / position of that gradient on existing objects is reset. Changing colors / knots should not affect the position of applied gradients.

3. overprint function works wrong! > Illustrator & Indesign

   As Indesign & Illustrator unfortunately is doing right now:
   If the overprinted area contains a smaller amount of the same base colour (c/m/y/k) than the overprinted area, the overprint function mutates into a kind of cut-out function:
   in which case Adobe replaces the area of the cutoff area with the lower color value of the area to be overprinted.

   Example 1
   Area below to be overprinted (cmyk): 20/0/100/0
   Area at the top that is to overprint (cmyk): 40/0/0/0
   A.) Current result cut surface: 40/0/100/0 (okay)
   B.) Correct result cut surface: 40/0/100/0
   or C.) alternative result* cut surface: 60/0/100/0
   (*where the value is added until it reaches max. 100% of the color value)

   Example 2
   Area below to be overprinted (cmyk): 80/0/100/0
   Area at the top that is to overprint (cmyk): 40/0/0/0
   Current result cut surface: 40/0/100/0

   Example 3
   Area below to be overprinted (cmyk): 80/0/100/0
   Area at the top that is to overprint (cmyk): 40/0/0/10
   Current result cut surface: 40/0/100/10

4. "Load paragraph styles" changes CMYK numbers

   1. Version 15.0.1, Windows. (Tested with some previous versions also.)

   2. Steps to reproduce:
      First: I'm using "Europe General Purpose 3" colour settings, which should, in general, preserve CMYK numbers during workflows.
      Create a new document A.indd. Define a new CMYK swatch S (for example, C50-M0-Y0-K0). Define a new paragraph style P which uses S as character colour.
      Create another document B.indd. Assign it some different CMYK profile than A.indd has assigned.
      Use "Load Paragraph Styles" to copy style P from A.indd to B.indd.

   3. Expected result:
      In B.indd, I expect to have swatch S with exact the same CMYK numbers than in A.indd. (That is what I get with "Load Swatches" or with copy-pasting P-formatted text from A.indd to B.indd.)

   4. Actual result:
      Slightly different CMYK numbers for swatch S in B.indd. That is, Indesign is doing CMYK-CMYK colour conversion during style load.

5. Column Rule colour is inconsistent vs. Fill and Stroke

   The colour applied to a Column Rule is darker than elsewhere applied, e.g., Fills and Strokes.

   1. New file.
   2. Draw a text frame (no text needed) and set the Columns to 2 and turn ON the Column Rule with default values. However, set the Colour to 10% Black.
   3. Set the Fill and the Stroke of the text frame to the very same 10% Black.

   Notice that the Column Rule is darker than the Fill and Stroke. It shouldn't be.

   Hope this helps.

   Allan

   P.S. See the attached screenshot - I'm using Magenta rather than Black. Same results.

6. Color Dialog issue

   Right now, the color displayed is not the color of the item selected. The color seems to have frozen. If I attempt to use the eyedropper in the color palette selection dialog, the whole program freezes, and it is unusable.

   Second issue, If I double click to select an item in a group, indesign thinks I want to add text and automatically adds selects with cursor to start typing.

   so, two issues, color and forced type selection.

7. Radial gradient becomes oval when rectangle frame is vertical

   Radial gradient becomes oval when rectangle frame is vertical

   1) Version: InDesign CC 2018
   2) Draw a vertical rectangular shape and insert a radial gradient
   3) Expecting the gradient to be a perfect circle.
   4) Actual result is an oval gradient that is impossible to change into a perfect circular gradient, even when holding the Shift key while using the Gradient Swatch Tool.
   5) No matter what I do, the gradient remains an oval, unless I stretch the shape back to a square or a horizontal rectangle.

   The only annoying way I found to temporarily solve this problem is to rotate the horizontal rectangle 90 degrees. This allows me to use the Gradient Swatch Tool as I wish to create a perfect circular blend anywhere in the rectangular shape.

   Any solution to this without having to rotate the shape?

8. White shows as black

   All white (pure white such as paper, 0000, ffffff, etc.), shapes and even within linked images are showing black. Some pages are affected and some are not. If I go into the swatch slider CMYK mode, sliding K from 100 to 13 is normal, however, 12-0 starts scaling back down to black. I've tried linking to all types of images (TIFF, PNG, JPEG, transparencies). The file was fine last time I worked in it, but upon reopening this is happening. Is this a bug or a corrupt file?

10. Help with Swatches

    InDesign CC 2018
    Trying to create a new swatch with "none" selected, but when I roll over "new swatch" button I get this symbol 🚫. On another forum, the correct answer was to select a user defined swatch; however, I am new to InDesign and working on my first project, so I don't have any user defined swatches.

    Please help. TIA

15. Spot colors flagged because their name includes the word "pantone"

    InDesign 19
    Steps: Opening any file with manually-built spot colors with the word "pantone" in their names brings up the "this document uses Pantone colors" blue nag
    Expected: that spot colors built manually, not using any installed color books, will be left alone
    Actual: apparently the software flags the word "pantone", regardless of its origin

    Summary: Manually-created spot colors are being flagged in Indesign because they have Pantone in their names. I legally purchased Pantone books in prior years, and the colors I'm using were built by referring to the builds from those books. I am not using any installed software color libraries. I am not even using the color builds from the last several years' books. I may not use Pantone as a system anymore, but my printers do and pay their own licensing for its use. I have to tell them what color to use. How does Adobe propose I do this, if not in the way I have set up?

19. Error when pasting hex color code with #

    When pasting a hex code with a hash character prefix (#) in InDesign 18.3 (macOS 12.6.8) you get an error that it is a incorrect color format. Even if I try to "correct" the pasted text by removing the hash character, I can‘t get InDesign to accept the pasted color code.

    This annoying "bug" applies to the color window/palette.
