1. BUG : Red panels and shifted elements

   It appears randomly, often when I open a second ID file, the first opened get some red panels and all the elements are shifted.
   The only way to solve this for now is to close the document and reopen it.

   Here is the link to the ticket on Adobe Support Community I made earlier (it contains a video showing what is happening) : https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/indesign-v-16-2-1-display-bug-shifted-elements/m-p/12053732#M430155

2. InDesign 16.2.1 completely broken (Big Sur)

   16.2.1 completely broken/unusable on Big Sur. View continually jumps around and fractures, whether you're interacting with the program or not. The moment you zoom/drag to the view you want, it jumps and fractures to another view. Had to revert.

3. InDesign 16.1 and MAcOS 11.3 Big Sur

   After the update to Big Sur, InDesign is very slow, the cursors have delays to change states. Very difficult to work with.

4. ID 2021 (16.1) slow performance with all palettes open

   Running ID 2021 (16.1) on MacPro (2019) 3.3 Ghz / 192Gb / AMD Radeon Pro W5700X 16 Gb / MacOS 10.15.7.

   So, I would like to report a bug related to the palettes in ID. I run a 2 monitor setup with my work on one screen and all my ID palettes on on the second screen. I have run this way for 10+ years. This has always been OK until I moved from InDesign 2019 (14.0.3) to ID 2021 (16.1) 2 months ago.

   The performance of ID 16.1 is unacceptably slow. It is as if you have a really intensive process running in the background (like Folding At Home) all the time.

   Now... if I hide all my palettes (press TAB) then everything speeds up and there is no lag at all, exactly like it was with ID 2019. Show palettes and everything slows down, LOTS of lag. No spinning beech ball, just lag.

   If I go back and use ID 2019 everything works perfectly. It is fast with all palettes open. The problem is in ID 2021.

   PLEASE, can Adobe take a look in to this. I am happy to take a movie for you, but the description above is what you will see.

   InDesign is so frustrating to use right now, please help.

   Thank you,
   Tom

5. no correct hyphenation of German words with dashes

   In German we have many terms consisting of two or more words with dashes in between. Everybody would hyphenate these naturally behind the dashes. InDesign is unable to do so, but suggests multiple wrong or ugly hyphenations and leaves the dashes as if they were non-breaking hyphens, which they are not! I know this problem since several years. I had it in CS5 and 6 as well as in every later version and today in InDesign 2020.
   For example: In cookbooks there are often intermediate products consisting of two or more ingredients. Some (artificial) examples:
   Das Mehl mit dem Kakaopulver, dem Backpulver und 1/4 TL Salz mischen und unter das Ei-Butter-Gemisch rühren. Die Mehl-Aprikosen-Flüssigkeit unterrühren. Die Eigelbe wie im Grundrezept beschrieben unter die Butter-Zucker-Mischung rühren. Ein Drittel Eischnee mit dem Mehl-Backpulver-Ansatz unterrühren, dann die restliche Ei-Bananen-Milch mit einem Holzkochlöffel vorsichtig unterheben.
   „Butter-Zucker-Mischung“ everybody would preferably and correctly hyphenate (\) like this: Butter-\Zucker-\Mischung, but InDesign produces only something ugly and devious like But\ter-Zu\cker-Mi\schung and so to speak considers both dashes as non-breaking hyphen. My only solution each time is manual hyphenation or an own entry in the user dictionary. The effort is too much because it happens too often.
   In German you can combine nouns arbitrarily and optionally separate them with dashes, so that the text is more clear and comprehensible. As the given combinations of nouns vary all the time it is an unnacceptable effort to define a hyphenation exception for every one of them in the user dictionary. InDesign just has to acknowledge that hyphenating directly behind the dash(es) is the first choice instead of simply wrong!
   I cannot imagine that a general rule like this would create a problem in other languages and different contexts. Hyphenation directly behind the dash(es) is always by far the most aesthetic solution.
   The problem does not only affect cookbooks. There are millions of possible cases, such as: Stephen-King-Filme, Agatha-Christie-Romane, Freund-Feind-Erkennung, Ein-Aus-Schalter, Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, Tag-Nacht-Schaltung, Willy-Brandt-Allee (along with thousands of other street names), Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität …

6. Hairlines/artifacts randomly appearing on screen

   1) InDesign 16.1 (and othre versions)

   2) Place an image or object. Apply a drop shadow. Pan/scroll, zoom, enable or dissable output preview

   3) Consistent rendering.

   4) Glitches of bands of light or dark pixels may appear over images, in transparencies and effects. These may come and go depending on resolution preview mode, zoom and/or if overprint preview is rendered. (The lines are similar to tiling lines in PDFx1a in that they are rendering glitches presumably caused by floating point calculations)

   See the thread https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/lines-appearing-in-effects-shadow-amp-gradient/m-p/11912229#M419035

7. shift to constrain and option-drag to copy only working intermittently now

   1. InDesign 16.1
   2. In a document, select an object. Then hold shift and scale the object. Or hold option and drag to copy the object.
   3. When holding shift, I expect constrained proportions. When holding Option, I expect a copy.
   4. Both key modifiers work perfectly in Illustrator, so it's not my keyboard nor my Mac. What I get when holding shift is the same as not holding shift - unconstrained proportions. What I get when holding option is the same as with not holding option - the object is just moved, not copied.
   5. I can't show a test because I can't show you when the shift or option key is pressed.

   I should clarify the intermittent part of my title. It seems that if I keep at it long enough, keep option-dragging, or shift-scaling, at some point InDesign wakes up and the key combination kicks in. But that's crazy. This is still a productivity killer. Please fix!

8. Duplicating Page with Alt + Drag Not Working Anymore

   I cant duplicate pages anymore using alt + dragging.

   Alt dragging the page to the side still works (so that the newly duplicated page appears at the end).
   But when I try to duplicate it to a specific location it just moves the page and does not duplicate it.

   This is really annoying....

9. Undo reverts to last save

   I'm using InDesign 2021 version 16.1, macOS version. Recently (maybe since the last update) it lost the regular undo ability. Instead of undoing by steps, it undoes all steps since the last save.

   It is similar to the issue reported with InDesign 2020 (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38991835-undo-not-working-properly-in-indesign-2020), but the bug persists in the current version even though it is reported as 'Fixed' in that thread.

   This happens every time when using Undo (Command-Z). It reverts to the last saved state. In the case that a document has been saved multiple times, it appears each press of Undo goes back to the previous save. (So if you have saved a document 3 times, you have 3 undo states, even though there may be 15 or 40 or 100 changes.) This happens even with a blank, newly created document.

   I am also experiencing lots of crashes (seemingly random, even when not interacting with the app), which is also new. But this thread is about the undo bug.

10. hide cursor in presentation mode

    When in presentation mode (shift+w) I would like to be able to hide the cursor. Even if I move it to the edge of the screen, it's still visible and distracting from the presentation itself.

12. Crash on save, all work lost

    Version 16.0.1 x64
    Working on an existing document. Nothing out the the norm. Just basic single-user InDesign. Upon save, it said the "document needed to be repaired and some unsaved changes might be lost". Well it lost everything and I lost 2 hours of work. I think InDesign is becoming like the old Quark XPress where you had to hit Ctrl-S like a rabid monkey to save your work from loss.
    It might be just like this forum "Post Idea" it says you're not logged in, and then you lose everything you typed.
    The other thing is lately InDesign crashes on startup.

18. Verifying "Adobe InDesign 2021"

    Since updating to 2021 versions of Creative Cloud applications, there's a persistent 'Verifying "Adobe _____ 2021" message that pops up frequently.

    Once you see these, you can't get rid of them. A restart is required.

    The version is the latest version (16.0.2)

    Steps to reproduce: Update and then open InDesign

    Expected result: InDesign opens normally, verifies and the verification message disappears

    Actual result: The verification message never goes away. The cross icon doesn't work.

20. Temporary file not working

    In the company I'm working at we have our files on a server that we share. When a customer have some edits requested we get an email in our system with the changes required. Me or one of my colleagues dive in to the job and fix the things in InDesign and then send a pdf back to the customer.
    This works really great and it's usually small changes here and there in quarterly and annual reports we work with.
    But now it seems like the temporary file saved on the server isn't working like it used to.
    This morning I jumped in to fix one job that came in the email system and I saved the pdf and sent it to the customer. And a few seconds one of my colleagues said he tried to save a pdf, but it was already saved. So he was working in the InDesign file the same as I was working on it.
    This couldn't be done before. InDesign said the file was already open and I guess it's because the temporary file was in the folder while someone was working. Now it doesn't care if the file is open by someone else.
    We did a test now (we have contact over Zoom during the Corona), but I opened the file and then my colleague opened the same file with no problem.
    This is something that needs to be fixed. Otherwise we need to call each other and ask about every single file before we start working with it.
    Something must be wrong here. It used to work fine before.

    I hope you understand what the problem is and please let me know if this can be fixed.

    In the company I'm working at we have our files on a server that we share. When a customer have some edits requested we get an email in our system with the changes required. Me or one of my colleagues dive in to the job and fix the things in InDesign and then send a pdf back to the customer.
    This works really great and it's usually small changes here and there in quarterly and annual reports we work with.
    But now it seems like the temporary file saved on the server isn't working like it used to.
    This morning… more
