InDesign v 16.1, Mac OS 11.2.3 on M1 laptop. Adobe Typekit does not consistently load fonts into InDesign.
Please check the Typekit usage and activation in InDesign. This is a huge problem that is slowing me down. I am trying to load Freight Neo Pro and it is missing intermittently from my files. Other fonts from Typekit have also done the same thing. I also use Suitcase Fusion to manage my own installed Fonts.

Balance Columns leads to severe performance issues
Whenever I have longer text documents with multiple columns I want to use "Balance Columns" to make it, well, better.
However, whenever I start using Balance Columns in my documents I always run into severe performance issues.
Example: Right now I have a document of ~100 pages (one text flow). I have not enabled "Balance Columns" on all pages due to performance (and the fact that another bug prevents you from doing this from the master page), so I have manually enabled it on a page-by-page basis for pages I feel need it (I'd much rather just turn it on…

library panels display
the background color of the library panels in Indesign and Illustrator take on the same color of the interface (as from the latest version of indesign CC 16.1) As I have the dark interface selected, the icons and other assets are almost invisible. There is no way to change it, switching to the light interface is the only thing that helps.

Overprint Preview switches off when viewing Story Editor
I view the InDesign file in Overprint Preview.
I then need to check some text that isn't quite visible on the page.
Select the text frame and view it in Story Editor so I can ensure it matches what was supplied.
Once you do this - Overprint Preview switches off.1 vote -

Indesign 16.1 Insert new cross reference takes 20 minutes for the panel to load
Indesign version: 16.1
Steps to reproduce: Insert new cross reference
Expected result: New Cross-Reference panel should load within an acceptable delay
Actual Result: New Cross-Reference pane takes extremely long time to load.To add a new cross reference takes about 20 minutes for the panel to load, while editing an existing cross reference is normal. The issue is common to many documents.
I tried to go back to versions 16.0 and 16.01, but had the same issue.
I have used this feature in the past and every thing was normal.

Can't see highlighted input numbers in Medium Interface after upgrading to Mac OS 11.2.1
I just upgraded my Mac to OS 11.2.1 on Sunday and noticed that when I try to highlight numbers in the medium interface in both InDesign and Illustrator I can't see what I've selected. I think the highlight color is too close to the background color. The attached file shows that Photoshop has an option for "highlight" that is not available in Indesign or Illustrator and I have also included what it looks like when I try to highlight a number. You will see a tiny blue border on the boxes where I have highlighted the numbers.

Adobe Publish Online lacks a search bar
Having used InDesign 16.0.2 to successfully publish my document, I discovered, unlike "other" online publishing tools, the end-user has no search bar. Worse yet, typing "command" + "k" — while it does work in all browsers and in all PDF files — does NOt work in an online published document. Basically, the document is NOT searchable? That is a critical misfire for an "online" publication. Please add a search bar immediately, if not sooner. I love this new publish online feature, but cannot justify an unsearchable web document to my higher-ups.

dialog window of Export
I have noticed a very troublesome change in the export window.
In CS6, which I use frequently, the "range" item lists the prefixes used in the document.
There is no hint in CC; ranges must be entered "manually" each time1 vote -

last window size unremembered when application frame turned off
InDesign on Mac 16.102 will not remember last open document size when Application Frame is turned off. When no document is currently open and I want to open a new document it always fills the entire space on my monitor between the tools on the left and the pallets on the right. I have to manually drag the new document window to the size I want. It's not convenient and user friendly! If the Application frame is turned on - it WILL remember. But as a Mac user I want that frame turned off - like it used to be.

Selecting 'Save as' from drop-down – nothing happens
Using InDesign 16.0.2, opened a local .indd file, made an iterative change and selected 'Save As' to create a derivative file. Nothing happened, no save dialog box at all. I quit InDesign and relaunched, and that seemed to clear the problem. This has happened at least once before in the last month. Though that might have been in the previous build before the most recent InDesign update (18days ago). The app wasn't frozen or inactive in other ways, it just wouldn't let me 'Save as' until I relaunched the app. So no crash report to send on. I use the…

Command-N for "New Folder" within "Save" dialogue box doesn't work
This is a bug – or at least, it doesn't adhere to the Mac standard for commands for "new folder." Such basic commands seem to fall by the wayside for flashy new features – but, why? It impedes workflow.
It hasn't worked for a number of versions.

Autosave issues? More frequent spinning beach ball for 15-20 seconds - unable to do anything
I assume this is related to Autosave because it only happens in Adobe products. I just upgraded to Big Sur (another buggy and annoying "upgrade") and the spinning beach ball happens twice as often now, and it lasts almost twice as long.
It's so f*cking annoying because I'm unable to do anything. It just happened and lasted 20 grueling seconds.
I bought a new MacBook Pro (late 2019) and I've never had more annoying bugs and intrusive, workflow-killing weirdness going on in the 15 years I've been using both. Apple blames Adobe and Adobe blames Apple.
