Random blocks of color, screen skipping
InDesign v16.2.1 - Started getting large blocks of color in my InDesign docs - never in the same file, appears randomly but always when scrolling. And this morning, a weird "skipping" thing happened - see attached. I've updated my iOS, un- and reinstalled InDesign to no avail.

Chinese character page number rule needs to following Chinese grammar
Chinese page number grammar after 10 is not following Chinese grammar.
For example, page 21 in Chinese is written as 第二十一页, instead of 第二一页.It's horrifying seeing Chinese is been butched likt this.

Vector Objects changing size when page layout is duplicated
While using InDesign v17 I've encountered a bug where some small rectangular vector objects will get larger when a page is duplicated using the "Create Alternate Layout" feature in the "Pages" tab. This has also occurred when a page or layout is dragged and dropped to the "Create New Page" icon to create a duplicate in the "Pages" tab. Design elements should not change when a layout is duplicated, and this did not happen in previous versions.
This first appeared in an .idml file that was created in 2019, and carries over to new files based on that .idml. It…

Can't open some Indesign files in finder
Since the latest 2022 update certain Indesign files will not open via finder - either by double clicking the file icon or going command>O. The app doesn't even acknowledge your action, only workaround is by opening via the app which is an absolute pain. Absolutely ridiculous.

page disappearing
Page has disappeared from behind objects. As if the artboard has disappeared, the page is gone but the objects remain. This has affected 20 pages or so of my document. It even exports in PDF as a blank page. I have attached images of what it looks like. This is a disaster and needs to be rectified.

Ajouter une fonctionnalité "État d'objet" pour les objets non imprimable en pdf intéractif
Est-il possible d'ajouter une fonctionnalité sur indesign permettant de rendre un objet (exemple : lignes noirs sur un formulaire interactif) non imprimable lors de l'impression de ce document. Donc attribuer à cet objet un "état à l'impression" dans un sens comme dans l'autre.
Une fonctionnalité qui permettrait à une entreprise de remplir son document interactif de type formulaire et si elle souhaite l'imprimer sur son copieur, que celui-ci sorte proprement sans les petits lignes. Ou à l'inverse que les lignes ne s'affichent pas en pdf intéractif mais à l'impression s'imprime pour permettre de compléter le document à la main.

Script label changes not saved
With this post I would like to report a bug again.
When opening an existing document, selecting an object, adding a script label and saving it again, the changes are not saved! When also changing something else, all changes are saved.
When only adding a script label and saving a document, the script label will not be added.
This bug is more then 10 years old.
Please fix this. Thank you.

The thumbnails displayed in the Pages Panel show up blank even though there is content in the pages themselves. See attached. This is most likely a bug.

Sporadic, haphazard emboldening of footer font on document pages
Adobe InDesign v17.0.1
2020 Mac Mini, Apple M1 chip, 16 GB memory
macOS: Big Sur, V11.5.2I have a multipage document with a folio and page number in the footer. The footer text is a regular weight Helvetica Neue LT Std (OT) font, and the folios (page numbers) are bold; the bold is nested into the paragraph style for the footers with a GREP designation. The footer text boxes are NOT active on the pages but are linked to the parent pages. Expected result: all footers match the font weight of the footer in the parent page to which they’re…

Big Bug?With the same page size and margins, there is an offset after A is moved to B?
A file and B file have the same page size and margins.
I moved pages 1-8 of A to page 2 of B. As a result, starting from page 3, the horizontal position would shift.
They should all be right in the version, but they don't.However, if you move all the pages (pages 1-17) of file A to the second page of B at one time.
If it is correct.why is that?
The reason for the coordinates? I didn't find the reason
I tried: it has something to do with the chapterFile is here

Dragging the mouse to select text randomly moves the entire sheet
When dragging the mouse to select text in a text box it would sometimes move the entire page and pasteboard to the left or right when reaching the text box frame. This is a very old, extremely annoying behavior. It exists at least since CS4.
The biggest question: why does it move at all?1 vote -
Child masters don't update
I have child masters that are based on a parent master. When I update margins etc on the parent, the child masters are not inheriting those settings as they do in InDesign 2021. The only resolution appears to be changing 'based on' to something else, and then going back and changing 'based on' to its original parent.

InDesign ignores colore profile settings
When I create a new document, InDesign no longer uses my default color profile settings. InDesign uses the default settings (sRGB/Fogra39). I can't switch it around either. I always have to manually assign my color profiles. All other apps are using fine my settings.
