auto page numbering does not work with auto-size text box
The auto-sizing text box should resize depending on number and not the 'marker character'
I'm pretty sure it used to work that way.3 votes -
Workfront Integration
I'm having an impossible time exporting PDFs from InDesign and uploading directly to Workfront using the Adobe Workfront Plug-in. No matter what settings I use, when I export directly to WF, the PDF is corrupt (images/text drops out, text frames duplicate on top of each other, etc.)...but when I export a PDF to a local folder, then upload that existing PDF using the WF Plug-in, the PDF is fine. See the examples below - the item on the left is the PDF output directly to WF, and the item on the right is output using the exact same settings, output…

Bug: Cross-reference dialog, filter doesn't work
Latest ID 16.4, Windows 10
This bug is old, at least since the cross-ref dialog has been redesigned.
If you select a style on the left it would show you all text parts with that style on the right (see attached images).
Problem Nr. 1: that list on the right side is not alphabetically sorted and there is no way to get it sorted.
Problem Nr. 2: if you want to find a specific entry amongst the many you see you can either scroll through all of them or use the filter box, which doesn't work as expected. As you…1 vote -
Image mislocation (Myanmar, Khmer, Lao, Thai)
Image mislocation (Myanmar, Khmer, Lao, Thai)
In Myanmar (Burmese) Unicode, there is an error where the image overlaps the text.
In the example, the red box should not overlap the text.
For reference, Khmer, Lao, and Thai have the same problem.
Please check.- Version : InDesign CC 2021 16.4 (Korean)

Previous version’s book files not saving
Using InDesign 2022 Prerelease (17.0.0.96).
When I opened my Book file, created with the current released version (16.4.0.54), in this new version, it wouldn't let me hit ⌘S to save.
It keeps prompting me to save the file anew, as though it had just converted it fresh or created the Book.
The world is not going to stop revolving around its axis over this one, but it was disconcerting and annoying.

broken links from placed .docx file
When I place a .docx file into InDesign, any link that contains an anchor tag (like this-- .pdf#page=543) is removed. This happens even when I check to "Preserve Styles and Formatting..." from the import options popup.
Not only that, the linked text still shows hyperlink formatting, but when I highlight it to recreate the link, the "create new hyperlink" button in the hyperlink panel remains grayed out (removing the hyperlink style has no effect on this--I have to delete and then retype the text before it can be linked).
The only way I've found to get the links to import…

Adobe InDesign Server 2021 has stopped working
With some documents to be (automatically) processed by Indesign Server, InDesign Server stops working - and we get the Windows message "Adobe InDesign Server 2021 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program".
As after a while our automatic system is picking up the same (possibly questionable) document again, we end up with a system where all InDesign Server instances are hanging, and no further processing happens (until a human being goes to the server and clicks the messages away).
The issue here is not that the possibly questionable document cannot be…

Object states button disappears after click
In a multi-state object, the button that activates the MSO disappears after being clicked. No where in the settings have I told it to disappear after being clicked.
Version: I'm running InDesign 16.3.2 (though I downgraded to 16.2 and am still having the problem)
Steps to reproduce issue:
I created the MSO using buttons/forms and the object states panel. Close button should revert back to original state (star).
Expected Result: Button should reappear.
Actual Result: Button is gone after click.Video of ePub preview attached.
The problem is both in the ePub preview and when published online.

subscription status.
I get the following message at random times when launching InDesign - I do not have issues when launching other Adobe Products and I can have PS open and launch ID and still get this issue so I have to believe that this is a issue with ID.

turn off Touch workspace!
Can Adobe PLEASE stop making the Touch workspace compulsory every time the app launches. Not all users want this. We didn't ask Adobe to turn off our usual interface and replace it with a Touch version.
When we have to go through the mandatory 'hey this is new examples' EVERY TIME just to get into the app, only to have to turn it off by choosing "essentials" (top right) EVERY TIME we launch the app, it becomes a major pain.
Who on earth at Adobe throught this would be a good idea? Surely this is just a bug? Why isn't…

space bar short cut for Hand tool NOT WORKING
usually when I have problem in one Adobe product, it is the same problem in all (Illustrator and Photoshop)... when it goes away in one, it goes away in all. Something is triggering it, but I can't reproduce it at will... just sucks when it happens

Anomalous character missing glyph in the Story editor – Serious file problems
I report a bug regarding an InDesign document of an anomalous character that is found in the "Story editor", which has already been reported in older versions of Adobe Indesign.
(OS version: BigSur 11.3.1)
(Adobe InDesign version: 16.2)As you can see in the examples that I attach, the text presents problems and I believe it is caused (or highlighted) by the missing glyph signs in each line of the "story editor", which does not appear to exist in the text.
The problem is not solved by making the file idml.
I tried to fix it by copying the text…5 votes -
Broken layout in review panel
Using InDesign 16.4 - Windows 10 21H1 19043.1237
The layout of the review panel is broken, apparently since the 16.4 update.
Clicking on a note sends all the content on the edge of the panel, hiding most of it (as shown on the attached image).
Changing the size of the panel (even slightly) puts everything back in place, but clicking again on a note breaks everything again. And so on.

alternate layouts
I want to prevent Indesign from adding alternate layouts to my file. I sometimes have to move pages from one document to another. I am using the page panel-move pages and then telling it the document I want the pages moved to. It adds an alternate layout. Is there a way to prevent this from automatically happening? It should be a feature that I turn on IF I WANT it. not one that I can't turn off.
