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.

Import incorrect frame size
When importing images into indesign I am experiencing a random bug on several different documents - when importing the image normally fits to the frame but in this bug it creates a random sized frame that is bigger than the image which stops me placing things the size I want them.

text box resizing causes document to shift in window
I have an issue now that has never come up before I updated to 20.5.1. When I try to resize a text box or image box, the document shifts down and the content box is shifted up. The video shows it better. I then discovered that if I create a new text box, delete it, then create another new text box and delete that one, the issue goes away. I closed and re-opened the document, and the issue was still gone. Have not had it happen enough to know if it will recur at a later time.

Properties panel will not go away
Yesterday InDesign 21.0 was forced upon me and I've had nothing but troubles since.
This specific bug is extremely annoying - I cannot get rid of the Properties panel. I have always used Essentials Classic layout, and I do not want the Properties panel. I close it. With each new file I open - the panel reopens. I cannot get it to go away.
Make it go away, please.1 vote -
mathml
The MathML module does not support Polish characters in formulas. Polish characters are displayed in a different font than the rest of the formula, which makes the entire expression visually inconsistent.

Reapply the master without losing information in text frames from the master
This is complicated to describe, so I'm going to use a not-so-great example. In PowerPoint you can put "placeholders" on the master pages. If you make a change to the position of the placeholder and update the slide everything moves into the correct position.
I'd like to be able to do something like that with text frames on the master in InDesign. The problem I'm having is that because I can't have two "primary text frames" on the master, I have to command-shift click to get the second text frame to be active. Once I do that, however, I can…

Bug: Size of pages in INDD changes when placing the INDD in another INDD
Indesign 20.2, Windows 11
Not sure if this can be reproduced, but here is what I did:
1. Created an INDD with two pages with size 180x264, no margins
2. At the bottom of the second page placed a text frame with some text, so its bottom-left corner is at X=0 and Y=264
3. Saved the INDD and placed it another INDD
4. When applying "Fit frame to content" on the placed object, the displayed size changed to 180 mm x 260.2 mmIt turns out that the text frame at the bottom of the second page has a different…

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.
