1. screen reproduction of color is spazzing out

   I'm trying to get InDesign to display colors correctly. I have synced all my settings with our printer, deleted a cache file (Users⁩ ▸ ⁨username ▸ ⁨Library⁩ ▸ ⁨Preferences⁩ ▸ ⁨Adobe⁩ ▸ ⁨Color ▸ ⁨ACEConfigCache2.lst) that was causing a problem, updated the program, restarted the computer—all the usual suspects. (Deleting the cache file worked for about one second—it repopulated the instant I re-opened InDesign each time).

   Now what's happening is that the appearance of color isn't stable. It changes between two looks, seemingly at random, as I click on things. I've attached screenshots of the two different ways that it looks. The darker of these is closer to accurate—screen colors match the swatches in the palette better in that version. I really want it to stay that way!

   Because of the way it's happening, this is clearly a bug. Please fix it!

2. cursor

   The menus or any click item do not pop up or drop down as they are supposed to. I have to click and hold and that only works sometimes.

3. SmartStream crash

   We are experiencing an issue where InDesign v21 will crash while we are using HP SmartStream Designer. This occurs when we start creating an imposed job, and will fail at different times with our templates. We notice this occurs predominately with the 6x9 postcard template.

   This happens often enough to where we are hesitant to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign, as we are not having this issue with v19. We have tried remaking the template file, which did not fix the issue. Is this a known bug? What steps would be best for us to try next?

4. Indesign is unusable

   Since the last update Indesign is barely usable. It crashes 10 times a day and with no explanation. Changing fonts, placing objects, updating graphics, all seem to cause it to crash. Suitcase is also causing problems with Adobe fonts which I can't seem to resolve. This is by far the worst update to Indesign that has come out. Forget adding new features, fix the problems with the program first so it is at least usuable.

5. Please fixz Indesign so that the font (Source sans pro) has all options. It changes itself to Source sans Pro (OTF) and then has only light

   Fonts missing in Indesign but they work OK in Illustrator and in Affinity Designer. If I drop down the menu every time to more fonts they seem to appear for that instance.

6. Auto-fit label confusing

   The "Auto-fit" option to keep an image's fitting method and cropping position active (as far as possible) while scaling the frame, can be confusing.

   Since the implementation of it, many users are not aware of what it does, because they assume it DOES something (make it fit automatically, right now) in stead of that it will RETAIN its current crop and fit. Especially in Dutch, where it is translated as "Make it fit", which is even more misleading.

   So when explaining what it actually does to many users (as a trainer, presenter) they always sigh...

   Please use a more clarifying label, like "Keep current fit or crop" or "Retain fitting method" ("Houd passend" in Dutch) to let more users know what it does precisely.

9. new frames automatically placed below pasteboard

   I am using InDesign 17.2 x64.

   Occasionally when pressing the little red box of a text frame to continue the story and then placing it on the next page, the text frame will be placed not on the page but far below the pasteboard. (It will have an X value of anywhere from 68 to 400 inches.) It also increases the size of the pasteboard. This happens regardless if the text frame has an object style applied with a position value, or if it has no object style applied.

   It also happens if the the shift key is held down when the new frame is placed, and prevents placing more than one frame at a time.

   It doesn't happen on every document, but once the bug occurs, it affects all frames/stories in the document, and the issue persists in new copies of the file, in an idml version of the file, and in the idml file if it is opened in earlier versions of InDesign.

   It also happens on completely blank master pages, so it's not an invisible text wrap or something.

10. Black horizontal lines appear on screen when scrolling

    When I expand the Indesign window to fill 90% of my 27" screen, I get numerous black horizontal lines appearing when scrolling. Other editing functions typical when handling type on a layout also produce random broken lines. If I click a page forward or back arrow, the lines disappear. I was first using v16.2 and just upgraded to 16.3.2 today with same results. Just discovered I have to reduce the widow size to about 75% of my screen size for the lines to not appear at all. Never had this happen on previous versions and need almost full screen width to handle complicated layouts. IOS Big Sur 11.4 on 27" iMac.

12. epub doesn't support the none color. Since it has no colour it needs to output in a way that it is not displayed to the user.

    Erub doesn't support the colour "None" which I use when I need to hide text from a document. [ And seriously it would be MUCH easier if you allowed people to post files created in YOUR tools to user voice. You look like you don't care. ]

14. Anchored text box in a table cell with text threads crashes when cutting

    As the title says. It sounds similar to past bugs.

    First, create a text box and add a table.
    Create a separate, new text box and add a single character in it.
    Anchor the text box to any cell in the table.
    Enable "Show Text Threads" from the View > Extras menu.
    Selecting and attempting to cut the table will lead to a long hang and crash.

    This is on the latest version of InDesign at the moment, 17.0. I am on Windows 10 20H2 19042.1288. I can verify this occurring on two separate systems.
    I've included a video walking through the steps to reproduce the crash.

15. Right-to-Left and Left-to-Right text boxes and style sheets are confusing

    Dear Adobe InDesign Team,

    Please simplify how users specify left-to-right Western language text boxes and documents versus right-to-left Middle Eastern language text boxes and documents in the multi language version of InDesign.

    There are no fewer that four places where paragraph direction and language specification appear in various places in the InDesign workspace.

    Users would benefit from simplification of language-switching tools, because InDesign's interface does not readily expose what language text direction it is using and sometimes switches paragraph direction without users knowing what these international language settings are defaulting to.

    My issue had to do with US English text showing up properly in a text box, but when I tried to format a numbered list using the tab bar, the tab margin indicators were reversed, and I could not set up tabs.

    Issues also show up when a text box is identified as US English, but InDesign's dictionary thinks the texts is a right-to-left language and marks every word misspelled.

    Pleases simplify how languages are specified and have InDesign automatically switch paragraph direction once the user determines the language of the document.

    The only exception needed is when foreign words are embedded in text and need to appear right-to-left within a left-to-right text environment (or visa versa) — or when a document needs to be dual-language.

    Thanks for your help.

    Tom Nimen

17. pages breaking and vertical lines on screen

    When i am working in any document since updating to Indesign 17 including the recent 17.0.1 the pages start to get vertical lines and horizontal lines, and the design elements start overlapping or having duplicates, tables will not display as aligned, trying to select text and my curser is really clicking 2 lines above. If i click "W" to toggle between Presentation view and back sometimes that will fix some of it and other times it will make it worse. I have attached a few screen shots to show how it will display different pages. When i go to export this it is fine in PDF format, but it is making it very challenging to work with, and with some huge 150+ page books we are working on, the file is saved in this version now and we are afraid to revert back to the 16.X version of indesign for fear of creating issues with out client document. I have uninstalled indesign completly including all settings and preferences and reinstalled but that has not helped with the issue.

19. Indesign doesn't mark 'single letter' PDF comments in the last words of the lines

    Indesign 17.2.1 x64, Win 10
    Indesign doesn't mark 'single letter Replace' comments in the last words in the line. If there is 'Replace single letter' in previous words, it works fine, if there is 'Replace whole last word', it works fine.

20. Major Preview Glitch

    I'm having a major glitch with preview screen mode in InDesign. When you toggle it on multiple elements on the page disappear, and this is happening on most documents and has only started within the last few days since the the last update. This is a major glitch when working on clients work when tings just start disappearing and not knowing if that is how it will print etc. I have uploaded a before and after image to show what disappears.
