Font list scrolling performance is laggy even on loaded M1 Max laptop
When slowly scrolling through my font list with a text box active on the page, the scrolling is laggy. It halts regularly.
When scrolling fast, there is no problem.I guess the slowness has to do with the preview function when text is active.
Preferred solutions would be
1) better performance
2) only preview when you click the font or
3) provide a setting to turn previewing on the page off.
I don't have an extreme number of fonts, and I use FontExplorerX to manage my fonts.
I would expect this to be a fluent experience on a 32Gb RAM…2 votes -

Data marge help page QR code section needs visual help
I'm not doing QR codes daily, only on some jobs and some trainings. SO I often refer to the right help page.
Where the image field section is precise, and adds visuals of the table itself :
"Add image fields in the data source file
(…)
At the beginning of the data field name, type an “at” symbol (@) to insert text or paths that refer to image files.
The @ symbol is required only in the first line; subsequent lines should include the image paths. Paths, which are case-sensitive, must follow the naming conventions of the operating system in…2 votes -
Text boxes only showing the line I'm editing and not the entire paragraph
Not an idea. a bug.
Come on guys this is basic stuff - can barely layout info like this.
Text boxes only showing the line I'm editing and not the entire paragraph
This is constantly happening. I'm on the latest everything. M1 MacBook Pro.I have to zoom in and zoom out to fix. This is unworkable. Just get the basics right guys... Adobe is impossible for reasons like this. If you can't get the basics right - don't bother developing new features. No wonder Apple think you develop below par software. This is your job to develop software that…

Fonts (TTF) work in InDesign 16.4 but not 17.0
InDesign 17.0 on Windows 10 x64
Opened document from InDesign 2021 in InDesign 2022; it was converted as part of that process. All fonts in document highlighted in pink as unavailable. Fonts are all part of Whitney family in TTF format, installed on my local computer. I verified they were still there in the fonts folder.
Used Find/Replace font and there weren't any alerts to say the fonts weren't available, but I tried updating them anyway (including changing to Minion - which worked - and then back again to Whitney, which brought back the highlights).
Could not export to PDF…

Two finger trackpad zoom in OSX is broken
I use Option + Two Finger Up Or Down on the track pad to zoom in InDesign.
While it seems to zoom in fine, it almost never zooms out properly. Often when I try and zoom out it zooms in further.
This behaviour works just fine in other Adobe apps such as Illustrator.
I'm running Mac OSX Catalina 10.15.7 on a 2019 16" Macbook Pro.

Stalling
Within the last couple weeks, Indesign has been acting very glitchy for me. I've never had these problems before, but when I open a document the application seems to stall for a bit. This is happening in all my documents (so it isn't one file that is the issue). Indesign doesn't ever crash, but seems to get hung up within the first couple minutes of use.

subscription status.
I get the following message at random times when launching InDesign - I do not have issues when launching other Adobe Products and I can have PS open and launch ID and still get this issue so I have to believe that this is a issue with ID.

cannot scroll to preview corner options
InDesign 16.3 CC download, Win64: In previous versions of InDesign I could select a text or image box, open the 'corner options' drop-down list, and arrow/scroll through the options to preview the effect of each on the selected box. In InDesign CC, I can arrow through the list but no previews are shown on the selected box. Instead, it takes 12 clicks to re-open and select each of the six options. I have posted this problem in the community, with responses from Bill Silbert and Steve Werner. They concur that it's an InDesign/Windows Bug.

InDesign Workspace Keeps Disappearing
Since the latest update of InDesign every time I leave the program and then come back my side panel workspace goes away. I have to select a different workspace and then reselect my saved space to get my setup to show up.

FontExplorer Error
Hi -
Everything's been working great for months, but after updating to InDesign 16.3.2 recently, I started getting the error message attached and am not sure why. It's also functioning fine in my other Adobe apps.
"Could not start FontExplorer X Pro because it could not be found or the license file is missing"
FEX 7.2.6 (build 20687)
InDesign plugin 3.5.6
InDesign 16.3.2
macOS 10.15.7 (19H1323)I'm not entirely sure if it's an InDesign or FEX issue, but have reported the issue to Monotype as well.
Thanks!

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

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.

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…

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:
