Pasteboard settings are broken
Adjusting the pasteboard size between pages is broken - see screenshot, I've set it to zero and still each page is miles apart. Sick and tired of these endless bugs.

I work with book interiors. Have been reading about the nightmares designers have had adjusting the margins of text boxes
I am not a cool millennial but I work with book interiors. Have been reading about the nightmares designers have had adjusting the margins of text boxes once there are several hundred pages and changing the master pages doesn't alter the actual position of the text boxes. Can I agree with the comments attached below -- to you Adobe company people -- don't **** off loyal users who were using Adobe before the millenials were born -- PLEASE STOP taking away features!!!!! I have recently updated to ID2021. Am I still going to have this bug -- as I now…

text wrap
InDesign 16.1v64
Text Wrap controls behave different with transformed objects.
At first I was going to report this as a bug and saw one other post where they were having the same issue but then I realized what is really going on so I'm making a suggestion.
Look at the Text Wrap for an Image object with the controls unlinked.
I was seeing the bottom control affecting the right side. And the Right side control affecting another side.
After some research I realized this was only happening on the images I'd imported and rotated 90 degrees.

Layout adjust badly deforms vector graphics
Vector images pasted from Illustrator (without any raster effect added) become badly deformed when using Layout Adjust. Parts of the image may become bloated, extended, compressed, text is deformed, rectangles become squares; circles, ovals, parts shift, etc. In short, a total mess

bug: empty textbox
InDesign 16.1 x64, Windows 10
InDesign wraps text incorrectly when layout adjustments are made. Empty text frames occur. Only when the size of the text frames is changed, they are filled with text again.

Organize styles per book, not per file.
Having to synch the styles manually instead of just having the styles available throughout the book is a pain. Also I cannot synch single styles. There is an object style I use for chapter headings, the objects get displaced everytime I synch.

Resizing object with 'Auto-Fit' enabled now broken in 15.1
In version 15.0.3 and earlier, if you enabled the 'Auto-Fit' option and then resized an object by entering values in the Width or Height fields the content would resize along with the frame (as expected).
With 15.1 this no longer works. The frame resizes but the content doesn't. Only way for 'Auto-Fit' to behave as expected is to drag the frame handles.

Numpad bug with paragraph styles
Loading an old Indesign file (version 2016 or older) in the new Version Indesign CC2020 causes a new bug.
1.) I use Indesign CC 15.0.1 (2020)
2) Open an old file of Indesign with many defined paragraph styles (from 2016 or older) --> try to edit some texts use text cursor klick in a textbox and type a 1, a 3 or a 4 on the numpad.
3) I expect that the numbers 1, 3 or 4 to be typed.
4) The paragraph style changes to another style without any shortcut set in the file or the paragraph style.

[ Versions 14 and 15 ] Adjust Layout | Liquid Page Rule "Scale" is affecting the result
Hi together,
as it seems feature Adjust Layout is actually affected by Liquid Page Rule.Two identical pages will scale type differently if Liquid Page Rule is set to "Based on Master" on one page and "Scale" on the other page.
This seems to be a bug. Liquid Page Rule should not affect the result of Adjust Layout. Applied my test documents from my German InDesign 2020 15.0.2.310 on Windows 10:
200206-1-Wrong-Text-Size-with-LayoutAdjustment-INDD-2020.zipNOTE: I renamed the zip file to .zip.txt because this site will NOT allow to attach zip files.
Also see into this thread at Adobe InDesign Forum where…

RotatedTable-BaseLineGrid-NOT-WORKING.PNG
( InDesign 2020 version 15.0.0.155 on Windows 10 ).
The custom baseline grid is not working at all if a table's text frame is rotated.
It is working with text outside a table if the frame is rotated.

JavaScript appliedMaster override causes textFrame to move on X axis
When overriding via JavaScript, the same elements (textFrames) move 0.75" to the right on the x axis!
This does not happen when overriding master elements on a page manually - everything works as expected i.e. the textFrames don't move.
I'm using InDesign 14.0.2 x64 on Windows 10.

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.
