Paragraph shading randomly disappears in some places when working in Indesign
Expected result: the shading is always displayed as it is applied in the settings.
Actual result: after making an adjustment, the shading disappears in some places and the shading edges that are displayed are not the actual edges, which makes it impossible to make accurate changes in the shading. When a pdf is made, the shading looks how it should look, so no issues there. It is merely when working in Indesign that the display of the shading is faulty. At first, when opening the Indesign file, the shading is displayed correctly, but when a change is made in the…

Inset spacing no longer working after re-installing InDesign 2025
I re-installed InDesign 2025 because some windows were blank ('Text Wrap', 'Paragraph' & 'Colour'). It solved that issue but developed a new issue - it wouldn't save. So I re-installed again without keeping any settings/preferences, this time it developed a new issue - Inset spacing no longer works.

Linhas
Gostaria que o indesign pudesse numerar linhas/paragrafos através da janela de estilos assim como tem os marcadores, e podendo definir de quantas em quantas linhas ele vá numerar, Acho que não seria algo difícil de fazer.

InDesign windows do not allow resizing from top to bottom
InDesign windows do not allow resizing from top to bottom. Typically, the mouse pointer should change to a drag icon to indicate this functionality, but this does not happen with InDesign, while it works normally with other applications.

Adobe InDesign, 29.2: Last three spaces on justified page are blank and then the first three spaces on the next lone
Adobe InDesign, 29.2: Last three spaces on justified page are blank and then the first three spaces on the next line on the next page. Should I take out full justification and then restore afterwards? It's a 200 page book of prose.

1:1 print size zoom scale please !
Please add a feature to select/setup a 1:1 screen to print scale, so that the 100% zoom can display the document at "real life" output size. (both on computer and monitor, hence the need for a personalized setup for different monitors)
This could ideally be saved, the same way worskpaces can be saved.
Thank you !1 vote -
Rounded corners on rectangle get rounder every time the rectangle is clicked into
Sometimes when I click into and out of a rectangle, or click and move the rectangle, the rounded corner value goes up from 0.0625 to .1667. I am using about 30 identically sized rectangles on the page, and I would like them to have identically rounded corners.

Alignment Options Removed from Floating Panel in Latest InDesign
Is it possible that the latest version of InDesign removed the option to choose whether to align to objects or to the page from the floating Alignment panel? It was great that we could align via the top toolbar with page alignment selected while keeping object alignment in the floating panel, so we didn’t have to constantly switch between the two modes.

adobe communicating across screen withs images
For some reason whnever indesign opens it opens super huge (I have 3 screens) and across all the screens and I always try and make it smaller but I cant even reach the bottom and its super frustrating because for some reason it communicates across my screens so when I move an image IN INDESIGN it moves it onto the desktop of the screen over? I think its got something to do with how big indesign always opens but like how does it even do that??

Inversed Rounded Corners Don't Match on All Sides
When using the Inverse Rounded Corners in Corner Options, the corner shape doesn't match another box right next to it with the same settings when side by side. So when 2 boxes with the same corner options are next to each other it doesn't make a circle in the empty space but rather an angled rounded rectangle. It seems the top left and bottom right are one way and the top right and bottom left are another. It doesn't matter if the boxes are the same size or different. This issue was present in both InDesign 2020 and 2024 versions…

If the two text boxes are connected, how does the footnote restart from ①
I have a book that needs to be typeset that is single-column and contains footnotes, but the footnotes start at ① for each article.
I don't want to go through and break up each article. I'd like to typeset it in just one text box, but it seems like the footnotes can only be connected.
Is there any solution to this?
It would be nice if it could be split by "page breaks(~P)" or "frame breaks(~R)" or "column breaks(~M)".

Small arrows to adjust the coordinates
I love the new "Properties" window that adjusts automatically. But I really miss the little arrows next to the x/y coordinates and width/height to be able to adjust the values. Please add them back! :-)

align panel
My Align panel is just blank. Some of the Align options are showing up in my top dock area, but I need the Distribute options and those are nowhere to be found. All of my software is up to date (I'm on an iMac), I've tried restarting... still nothing. This was working find just last week and a couple days ago I noticed the panel was blank.

A Tabulação não aceita imagem Wrap
Quando faço uma tabulação na largura da coluna e coloco uma imagem com text warp do lado esquerdo da imagem eu tenho que tabular linha por linha (ver Arquivo), do lado direito da imagem que é o início da coluna de texto funciona perfeitamente.

horizontal and vertical restrain with shift key not working.
InDesign 19.4 will not allow me to constrain proportions when resizing a photo box. The window simply closes to re-crop the image. It does allow resizing the photo IN the box with the direct selection tool. It also will not allow me to constrain horizontally or vertically when shift-dragging any item. It also does not restrain the line tool. It also does not allow me to rebuild preferences.
