Exclude color fields in book synchronization synchronized nevertheless
I have book files and do not want to synchronize the colors. I disable this in the synchronization options.
The colors will still be transferred/synced to all synchronized documents.

Window size and position is forgotten
Even though another entry entitled "InDesign in Windows ALWAYS forgets app size and position!" is marked as "Fixed/Solved" elsewhere in these pages, the issue is not fixed. In fact, it is more persistent in the latest 16.2.1 "update"... plus, ID crashes way more often now as well... I know this is another issue but for me when InDesign does not work as advertised, the whole thing –crashes, window size and position– is ONE issue: Adobe InDesign is buggy, more than ever, period.

nested style does not appear
When creating a new Style using the Nested Styles dropdown, the new style does not appear in the Styles Panel. I need to remove a number of unused styles created using the Nested Styles dropdown method, but since they don't show up in the Styles Panel, there is no way to remove them.

Align to grid
When you have a text box with multiple columns and paragraphs are set to align to grid + Align first line of text only, if text from one paragraph flows to the next column, that 'first' line of text will NOT align to the grid as it is not the first line in the paragraph. I can't think of any situation where this is an optimal outcome.

Endnotes content shuffled by ICML import
InDesign/InCopy versions 14, 15, & 16
The position of user-entered "extra" content in an endnote story is currently lost when endnotes are replaced during an update of the associated story.
Adobe's help documentation says (from the "Work with endnote text" section of https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/endnotes.html )
"Endnotes in the endnote frame are indicated with Endnote Markers. Text, such as heading, can be typed in the endnote frame outside these markers. This extra content does not belong to any endnote."
This suggests that user content in an endnotes story is allowed and supported.
However, extra content moves around during an update. An attached…

footnotes show up at the bottom of text box rather than bottom of page when "span footnotes" is selected
How do I get footnote #1 in my screenshot to show up with footnotes #2 and #3 at the bottom of the page. For the life of me, I cannot find a setting that makes this possible. Thank you in advance.

Span columns not working properly (16.4)
InDesign 16.4 on Windows.
I have an issue with spanned text.
It looks like a "break column" special character is created above and below the text when I span it across a 2 column frame. Or a text column is "skipped."
This is happening on flowing text, on primary text frames. The text was initially imported from a Word document (without styling).This "bug" doesn't happens on on other text frames where the text was not imported.
I am trying to upload the INDD packaged rar file but the platform is saying that that type of file is not supported...…

Using Text Wrap around objects causes InDesign to crash!
When I apply a text wrap but only around an object, the program crashes and closes. The other text wrapping tools work fine.
I noticed a blue cercle on the icon of text wrap around an object (see the screenshot joined). I'm not sure this is normal... maybe it would help you solve the problem...
When I click on this tool, a windows opens (see second screenshot) and then Indesign crashes and closes.
You can note that I am using the latest version of Indesign (16.4).
Thank you very much for your help.

CC dropping non-adobe fonts overnight and having to un-install and re-install everyday
Since the last update (3/9/21) CC drops non-adobe (Avenir) fonts from Indesign overnight. Every morning I'm having to un-install and re-install the fonts as even though they are installed Indesign can't see them. Why is this? It's most annoying as it's our corporate font and having to do this every day wastes time.

Share for Review 'highlight' and 'strike through' issues
The share for review 'highlight' function and 'strike through' function are not visible in the host's files or the online preview. When one of our designers creates a document and then shares it with the team for review we receive a notification that text has been highlighted. When you navigate to the online preview or to the original indesign working file the notification lives in the share for review box but no text is highlighted so you don't know where the intended edit is. The same happens with the strike through function. Pinned items or using the marker tool are…

Index not listed correctly after converting IDML file to INDD
When I convert INDD files to IDML, and then I convert those again in INDD the index file disassembles completely the layers.
It seems to happen from the third level like in this example:
Chapter 5
5.9
1.1.1
1.1.1
1.1.2
1.1.2.1
1.1.2.2How can I avoid that, and let the Index keep the right list from the first conversion?
