locked into program
While working in InDesign, I have to right click anywhere in the window to be able to access anything else on my computer. It's like it doesn't want me working in any other program except InDesign so it's trapping me. This has been a problem since pretty much the first day I started using creative cloud. There are 6 other people in my office that have never had this problem and we all use the same version of InDesign.

find/change missing from menu (PC)
I am using Adobe inDesign CC 2018 on a PC and since the most recent update (March 2018), I have lost the Find/Change option from the Edit menu. I have searched all over in case it was moved somewhere else, and also tried different workspaces, to no avail. Old document, new, it doesn't make a difference. Where did this go? I use it all the time. :( The keyboard shortcuts related to Find/Change don't work either. (Spellcheck isn't working correctly either--I posted a separate bug report about that. Are these related issues?)

Datamerge Slow
The datamerge feature is unacceptable. I am creating about 100 nametags for a small event, and am merging data from a Tab Delimited Text file (CSV files DO NOT work apparently). I even replaced the 3x4 nametag graphics (.ai) with a frame to minimize graphics usage. I am only including first and last names, and it can’t even merge that!!! Any suggestions or is this feature just complete garbage?
I’m on a late 2014 15” MB Pro with NVIDIA graphics card, running High Sierra with APFS.

Numbering and section options
If you have multiple types of numbering options in one document, (say using Roman for your intro pages, and then convert to regular numbers for the main document) you can't change them even though the option is not grayed out in the Numbering and Sections Options dialogue box. If you click on it, it just reverts back to what the document started as and won't select that other numbering option.
Exact same document, and I (on 13.1) cannot change it, but my co-worker who has 13.0.1 can.
Adobe INDD CC 13.1

1. Which OS version are you using?
2. Is it specific to a document?
3. Does the issue happen with other dropdowns as well?-Abhinav Kaushik

Choosing a link's page or layer right in the links panel
I would love to be able to change the page of my links without having to replace the file and select the page through import options. I use a lot of nested indesign files where I'm duping up business cards with multiple sides. It gets timely when I have 4 sides and I have to replace them all 8 times. Keep it in mind guys! You're doing an awesome job! I <3 adobe people!

No longer able to use arrow keys in outer glow size
I used to be able to arrow up or down in the "size" for an outer glow and other transparency effects and the increment would increase or decrease. I am no longer able to do that. It is a bit frustrating. I'm working on a Mac with the latest operating system and my programs are all up to date. Please fix this bug!

Window freezes
the indesign document window tends to freeze, I can fix it by creating a new window for the document and closing the old one. But it's pretty annoying, as you can imagine.

Place Multipage PDF script not performing how it should
Hi,
I am experiencing trouble within my InDesign using the "PlaceMultipagePDF" java script under the scripts panel. My issue is that when I go to choose my file for my document and choose which page I want the PDF to start on (like page 5 out of 130) it no longer goes to the page I choose, but adds on top of the content on the last page (like page 105) and adds extra pages with the rest of the import of the pdf at the END of the document and not the one I chose.
Thughts?

Button area changes size when adding object that only appears on rollover
Hello!
I am having issues with buttons, rendering my project entirely unusable.When creating buttons on a map:
- Each button is a building on the map.
- When you rollover the building with your mouse, a box appears that gives more information about the building.To accomplish this, I create the button, set it to change on rollover, and drag my additional graphic into the rollover state for that button on the layers panel.
The issue I'm having is that instead of the overall button size staying the same, once I add that additional graphic in the rollover, the…

high sierra and Creative Suite
I discovered an interesting bug concerning the Adobe CC suite and the HighSierra OS. Let me explain :
I'm using a LaCie Firewire 800 external hard drive on which I'm recording completed jobs.
Regularly, but not always, when using the InDesign or PhotoShop drop-down menu, the cursor takes the form of the multi-color wheel and blocks any action until I force the external hard drive to eject.
I use many other software publishers such as Panic, Apple, Google, GitHub, ... that never presents this dysfunction.Here is the LaCie drive information:
Volume Name: LaCie
Volume type: Physical volume

XML tagging with GREP
GREP is a great tool, but when we use GREP to highlight more than one character style in a paragraph there is an issue with the XML tagging tool.
Only the first GREP expression applies a character style that can be automatically tagged by character style. All further GREP expressions apply the character style but don't then go on to automatically tag by character style.
Currently we have to work around it with scripting, but it is a very strange bug to have.

Importing files - file sort is off
When importing a group of files InDesign used to sort them alphabetically so that when you place them they are in order. This is no longer the case...it seems to place the files in a random order. This is a task I do often and not having this feature adds A LOT of work to my workflow. Please fix this asap.

clicking when I don't want it it
Very jittery, hyperactive indesign. This is happening in Indesign and Illustrator for me.
Even though I'm only clicking once, Indesign and illustrator will register 2 or 3+ clicks. This happens when I'm changing my point size, when I'm drawing anchor points, moving and image box, or alt-clicking to copy an item. The program will register numerous click even if I'm holding it down and ll get 5 text boxes when I was only trying to copy one.
