dark interface &
Appearance dark theme not matching the settings or OS. I selected dark theme but pasteboard and window top bar light grey. It should be uniform dark.
Other issue is workspaces often does not show up after launching app requiring me to select a workspace other than my custom setting to show up on screen and only then can I select my custom workspace to have it show up. If I select my custom workspace right away after launch when no windows or tools show up nothing happens the screen stays without any panels or tools. Clearly a bug

Links palette issue
Hi there;
I'm encountering a bug with the "Links" palette. Specifically, for a long list of links, the "Link info" panel doesn't preview properly, but rather overlaps the main list of links. Similarly, if a link alphabetically appears towards the bottom of the list, it isn't possible to select it from the Links palette.
Hoping this can be fixed with the next INDD update?!

Adobe Indesign 17.3 (also happened in 17.4).

Source Sans shifting down issue
Source Sans or INDD has changed from version 17.3 to 17.4. All of the type gets baseline shifted down when you create a new file or if you open up an existing INDD file with Source Sans. It all pushes down inside the text window.
Either an INDD problem or Source Sans coding has changed. Please resolve--its our house typeface.

Indesign - main navigation menu glitch
When I hover my mouse over any of the main nav items (file or edit or layout etc.). and click the menu does not appear. When I click a second time it appears but does not allow me to browse down to select any items - them menu items disappear as soon as I move my mouse. This happens on tool menu items too such as the links window menu. It doesn't do it all the time, but say 1 in 4 times I open indesign. Super frustrating - any one else have this bug/ issue?

Trackpad pinch to zoom stops working
I'm working on a new 2021 Mac and across all adobe programs pinch to zoom on the track pad will often stop working. I then have to turn the gestures settings on and off either within the app or on System Preferences (it varies on which one works) to reset it. Or I have to quit the app and restart, which is very disruptive to my workflow.
I am up to date in creative cloud as of today – 22/04/22

Fonts defined in existing Paragraph / Character Styles Missing after Creative Cloud font type change
VERSION: InDesign 2022 V 17.0.1
We activated the Museo Sans Rounded font via Creative Cloud and have used it in our documents since 2015. Until recently, the font activated by CC had a font type of OpenType Type 1. This font is still available on CC, but its font type appears to have changed to OpenType True Type.
Documents that used the OpenType Type 1 font in a Paragraph or Character style now show this font as missing. The missing font name now displays as Museo Sans Rounded (OTF) in Find / Replace fonts and Paragraph and Character Styles panels.…

Workspace reverts to Essential every time a document opens
Hi there, I'm having an issue where every document that I open reverts the workspace to Essential. Is there a way to set this to my desired setting and make it stick. I've scoured the forums and tried everything mentioned from clearing caches and preferences to uninstalling and reinstalling. I've set the workspace with no documents open and closed and reopened the app but it just reverts back to Essential when I open a new/existing document.
Please help! This is driving me crazy as I have to do it every time I open a document.

Fonts' OpenType features not working in Composite fonts in InDesign
When using any Hebrew font in InDesign, the diacritics (nikuds) are displayed in their correct location. This location is set within the fonts by using OpenType features such as ccmp (for glyph substitution) and mark (for glyph positioning). InDesign recognizes and applies these features.
When this font is used as part of a Composite font in InDesign, the result is quite different. It seems like the ccmp feature is honored but the mark feature is not.
The diacritics shift and the length of the text increases. Some of this fluctuation can be mitigated by Diacritics Position feature in InDesign however…

keyboard shortcuts not working
2017 iMac Retina 5K 27", running Big Sur 11.5.2, InDesign 2021.
Suddenly, without warning or explanation certain keyboard shortcuts have stopped working.
The T shortcut to change to type tool flicks to type tool and then back to original tool (eg Selection tool).
Hand tool on space bar does not work and zoom on space bar + cmd does not work.
For some time now, you can't hide ID when there are no documents open by using cmd–H.
I have been using ID since almost the very beginning and these have always worked. As I'm paying a monthly sub for…
