CC library issues - errors importing and no browser sync
I am using Adobe Cloud v17.3 and have 2 related issues:
When I try to import a CC library, it doesn't fully import. Only a few items appear.
This library has been successfully imported on other occasions, so I am confused.I have built another CC library within my InDesign environment. When I try to view it online, it says that I don't have any libraries?!

Strange blanks – personalization
I have a table that I use for data merge. There are empty cells in it: an academic title that not everyone has
Example
Salutation: Dear
Academic title: Dr.
Last name: MillerI I only have one text field, which makes things difficult for personalization for people who don't have an academic title:
" <<Salutation>> <<Academic Title>> <<Surname>> " --> " Dear Dr. Miller"
In the place where the academic title should be, these blanks appear, which can only be removed manually. With a list of 1,000 invitations, this is an enormous amount of time.
Via Search/Replace I cannot find…

QR-Code Generator Problems with Umlauts in vCards
In the actual version of indesign (16.0) there is still an issue with internal generated vCard-QR-Code scanned by an iphone.
In germany there are special Characters called "Umlaute" (ü, ö, ä) or the "sharp s" (ß). If these characters are used in an vCard generated within the buildin function from indesign, they are replaced with other symbols on the iPhone QR-Code-Camera Reader.
I think this is only a Problem of the used vCard-Version. I think indesign uses Version 2.1 if you would just use Version 3.0 this issue does not appear.
please see attached one example
Kind regards from germany

overprint
Overprint in my currently installed versions of INDD (17.2.1) and AI (262.1) is unpredictable. I have ust received feedback from a client, that the date on a recently printed flyer is illegible. It is overprinting on a dark background, but in INDD the element is not set to overprinting. A screen PDF from the same INDD-file is completely normal. I've had this happeining in a couple of INDD-documents since the last update. I have had the same issue with an AI document this week as well.

Cross reference broken by InCopy
A text element with cross references is added to an InCopy assignment. (The cross reference utilises the paragraph number - just in case, this should be important.)
After editing any text (not part of the cross reference source itself or the target paragraph) in InCopy, the cross reference is broken in InDesign. Same, if you change the target paragraph.
This happens in InDesign/InCopy 16.4 as well as 17.13 votes -
Adobe cloud app - Preferences under account - Notifications tab just spins
I open the Preferences pop-up under my account image. I click on Notifications tab but it just spins a blue circle and never shows me anything. All the other tabs in this pop-up work fine.

Find Font bug when multiple fonts begin with same name
When a document contains multiple fonts with same family names (e.g. Arial and Arial Hebrew), the search font dialog box only makes available one of the fonts (e.g. if I want to search Arial, even if I select Arial in the available fonts in the search dialog box, the Search Font line will automatically show Arial hebrew so i can't just find Arial. I also have the same problems with multiple Helvetica Family fonts.

Caption Metadata in Text Variables
InDesign version 17.3
A Metadata Caption set in Text Variables can be on a layer separate from an image. In my workflow, this is good!Unfortunately, InDesign treats images on layers that are turned off as if they are on, and hence a text box containing a Metadata Caption is presented with multiple images to read from and delivers the message <Multiple intersecting links>.
I discovered this by having a square image on one layer and a 4:3 image on another layer, a layer turned off. When the text box containing the caption touched the top or bottom of the…

Display settings affect Epub output
I just spent a couple of hours trying to figure out why one of my images (placed Illustrator file) was pixelating in EPub output. The same image is placed in 6 places, and only in three of those instances was the output incorrect. Image is identically placed in all six instances (size and scaling), the link is valid (not missing), and all export settings were correct. As a last resort troubleshooting this, I realized that in the three locations that were pixelated, the display setting for those three was set to Typical rather than High Quality. I set them to…

Indesign 2021 (16.0) IDLK file do not lock
It is currently possible that two users are able to open the same Indesign file. I am working on a network volume via VPN and it was possible for my colleague to open the same file i was working with. The *.idlk file was generated but it seems that it would not be recognized from the other Indesign my colleague was using.
I tried to reproduce this issuue with Indesign 2020 and all worked fine as expected.
This is an enormous issue for collaboration with other colleagues at the same projects.
74 votesThe fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2022(v17.0.0.96). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application and click on the context menu on the top right and click on Check for App Updates.

False icon
Indesign Version 17.2.1
If I save my file as an Indesign file (INDD), the icon on my desktop shows Photoshop and not Indesign. As a result I can't open the file via double-click because then Photoshop opens and says "Der Vorgang konnte nicht ausgeführt werden, weil dieses Dokument nicht vom richtigen Typ ist". So I have to open it via right click, open with Indesign. That's a little bit annoying.1 vote -
Language.
My InDesign is in Hungarian.
I would like to have it in English.
I have uninstalled.
I have changed language preferences.
I have installed.
It remained in Hungarian.
I have done this 3 times today. It was very boring. This is not a service.
Your chat support told me this is because I use my Windows in Hungarian.
This is ridiculous. This is a bug. You must fix it.
If I change the app to English it should be English for good no matter what my Windows is using.
E.g. Photoshop is in English!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 vote -

Even though I have uninstalled, changed the language preferences and installed it again, it remained in Hungarian.
I have tried 3 times. It was very boring.
Your help support said it is because I use my Windows in Hungarian.
This is not true, because Photoshop is in English for instance.
Change this!
If I set InDesign to English, it should be in English, no matter what language Windows is using,1 vote -
Rulers
In the latest version it is much harder to place a guide on the exact spot because the guide in the ruler itself has become much thicker/dotted when before it was just a thin line and was more accurately placed on the needed measurement.
