Ventura Indesign file not found
I have a number of files when I double click them to open, I get an error saying "<file name> not found. If I make a copy of the file, I can then open it. I don't know it that's an InDesign issue or a Ventura issue.
Running an Apple M1 Max, with Ventura 13.2.1, and Indesign 18.1

"Paste into" not working in Layout Split View
When the layout view is split and you copy something and try to "Paste into", the option doesn't appear. You have to exit split view and toggle it again so it works.

Buttons do not work in Indesign
Certain buttons aren't working in Indesign. E.g. I can't click into the preflight panel, or the pop-up comes up for a millisecond, too fast for me to click into it. This is happening with the Preflight panel, the 'align to' button in the Alignment panel, and other toggles like it. Incredibly frustrating. I've tried restarting but the issue persists.

Frozen Blue Banner about Pantone changes
The temporary blue banner alerting me to the changes to Pantone's integration with Indesign has frozen in place partially off the screen and cannot be dismissed. I haven't restarted as I'm in the middle of a task and the functionality remains, it's just overlaid with the banner near the bottom.

Selection extends in wrong direction - all other thext editors are doing well, except InDesign
There is a very annoying behavior in InDesign - when using the Shift+Arrow keys to extend the selection, the selection grows in a wrong direction.
To reproduce:
1. Click and drag the text cursor to select text.
2. Shift + Arrow left to make the selection smaller.
Bug: the selection starts to grow/shrink AT THE BEGINNING OF SELECTION, not at the end of the selection.
Why is this a problem?
When selecting text, the cursor must be left where the mouse button is released. If selecting from left to right, the cursor must be left at the end of the…1 vote -
Paragraph values not appearing – SOLUTION
Paragraph values not showing in panel when text is selected.
SOLUTION I use is to hide options then show options which resets panel, rather than quit and restart InDesign or reboot Mac.

InDesign 18.0 keeps hanging when hyperlinks panel is open (checking links)
In InDesign 18.0 on Windows 10:
When I have a document open that has a lot of hyperlinks in the text and the Hyperlinks Panel is open, InDesign becomes unusable, because it constantly keeps checking the validity of the hyperlinks as a foreground process. So it keeps hanging and on the spinning blue circle. As soon as I manage to close the Hyperlinks Panel the problem dissapears, but sometimes I actually need to use the hyperlinks panel, and then the problem is back again. It becomes almost impossible to do/click/select anything in InDesign at that moment. This needs to be…1 vote -
hand tool stuck after sleep
Almost always after computer screen sleep, InDesign is stuck with hand tool selected. Switching tool appears to work (changing in the panel), but cursor is still showing (and working) as the hand tool. Works after restarting Indesign. Sometimes it also resolves itself after a while, if I go working in other apps.
The problem has been present for several versions of both InDesign and macOS, so it's not a recently appeared problem.

InDesign 23 has screwed my comp.. Can't even open file explorer tabs. Lost access to all work
After attempting to export a PDF from InDesign with 'Full screen' opening, it crashed and closed InDesign and ever since I have no access to any of my files.
Everytime I try to open a folder (even ones that have nothing to do with Adobe CC or programs etc.) it just freezes and crashes. So now I can't access anything on my PC. I've uninstalled & reinstalled, reset preferences on boot, saved as idml and re-saved, reset the computer.. Nothing is working.
So not only am I unable to work today because of this (which means lost money) I imagine…

Very slow screen response with Mac OS Monterey
Since upgrading to an Apple Silicon Mac running Monterey OS with a Dell 4K screen, Indesign has become sluggish when scrolling through documents, especially those with placed images.
Also, if I highlight text and make a change to the formatting (make it Bold, for instance, or apply a different paragraph format) the change does not appear until I deselect the text. It will show up correctly before I deselect the text sometimes, but more often than not it doesn't.
InDesign version 18.0 with the latest updates.

Cannot open certain files
I recently installed InDesign 2023. Now I can't open a lot of files through DropBox. InDesign simply does nothing (no error code or spinning wheel, etc., just... nothing). So far the only fix is to download it to my hard drive, but since these are team documents that isn't a good solution. Help?

Windows Warning Beep
UPDATE: I've narrowed down the problem to the Exclamation Program Event in Windows Sound. With that set to (None), the beeping no longer occurs.
When I go into inDesign, I go to any window and I hear Windows warning beeps non-stop, like I'm doing something inDesign doesn't like. If I go into Pages or Layers, they cause no issue. If I go into Preferences or Margins and Columns, then I get the beeping.
I am using Windows 10 with the latest updates.
I haven't used inDesign within the last few months, and it wasn't do it then. I used the…1 vote -
Keep scroll position in Pages Panel
In Pages Panel I scroll to a position so I can select a small range of pages (both ends of selection is visible in the Panel), I switch focus to another document, afterwards when return to edit the original document the Pages Panel scroll position is not where I left it, it is scrolled away so only the first page of my selection is visible at the bottom.
Please leave Pages scroll where it was when refocusing to a document.1 vote -
multiple versions of files from book open upon "converting"
- Opened book (.indb) file saved in previous version of InDesign.
- Double-clicked all the individual files to open them up in InDesign which is a new version (18.0 x64). A warning appeared saying the files will need to be converted if I renumber, etc.
- I used the book file to open all the files and immediately resaved them to update them.
- I made edits to one of the files from the book, and saved.
- Colleagues came on and I used the Book file to bounce between the different document files.
- To quickly save out all my changes, I simply close InDesign…
