CC Libraries panel gets stuck a lot!
When I reboot Indesign it comes back to life but after a short time gets stuck again. Sometimes it just stops responding and sometimes the panel is also enlarged and cropped like the screenshot attached.

When 2 images are loaded, it shows 3.

Verifying "Adobe InDesign 2021"
Since updating to 2021 versions of Creative Cloud applications, there's a persistent 'Verifying "Adobe _____ 2021" message that pops up frequently.
Once you see these, you can't get rid of them. A restart is required.
The version is the latest version (16.0.2)
Steps to reproduce: Update and then open InDesign
Expected result: InDesign opens normally, verifies and the verification message disappears
Actual result: The verification message never goes away. The cross icon doesn't work.

Save Windows on Mac OS
NOTE: This is a problem not just on InDesign, but also on Illustrator and Photoshop as well.
Ever since the last upgrade for macOS Big Sur (ver 11.1), save, package and export windows have a serious issue. They don't show the pathways of the files even when you have it set to do so. Instead all you see is the options for what to include or any other information at the bottom of the window (see the attached screen shot).
Even when you enlarge the window to be able to see the paths, it does not retain the memory that…

Find command highlights text in background
In long INDD documents with text flowing from one page frame to another, the text often does not refresh properly when the page is turned. Using the Find command then often highlights text that is in the text story but is not visible on screen when highlighted by the Find command. The attached JPEG shows an example of the problem. The JPEG is a screenshot of an INDD page showing a Find for "Brown" but with random text highlighted at line 15. "Brown" is there, but it is in the background, and it cannot be selected, edited, etc. The only…

Indesign/LTS version (15.1.3) don't update font menu accordingly system registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Fonts)
Editoriale Domus Spa
My enviroment: InDesign LTS version 15.1.3 (mandatory) - InCopy LTS version 15.1.3 (mandatory) - Extensis UTC 7.0.10 (mandatory) - clients OS Windows 10/MacOS Mojave- Font family OTF/TTF.Fonts get activated, then again so that theindesign/incopy document refreshes and detects the fonts but unfortunately this could result in significantly longer loading times for large files and other unexpected performance issues.
The fonts are active for the whole system (reg query "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\fonts)
and app., Bloc Notes for example.I have opened tickets with Extensis. Here is the answer after testing in their environment

Wrong swatch color for color using hsb values
I'm using InDesign version 16.1 on Mac OS X 11.3
When setting a color using HSB values, the color which is created is wrong.
In the screen shot I added you can see two swatches, both have the same related values.
One is set via HSB the other by RGB.
The HSB preview is totally wrong.1 vote -
Find/Change in empty cells of a table
I am trying to add a bullet (or any other character) in empty cells in a table in InDesign. With GREP this works, but only cell by cell via 'Change'. 'Change All' does not work, however. I tested this in both CC 2020 and CC 2021.

Guides/Grids not showing
InDesign16.02 & 16.01
For some reason today, when I opened an InDesign file from a packaged InDesign folder in the latest version of InDesign, I could not view the page margins, document grid, baseline grid or ruler guides. I tried toggling them with the shortcuts and by directly selecting them from the InDesign menu. I uninstalled the latest version and tried the previous to make sure it wasn't a version issue. I had the same result. No grids or guides would show no matter what I tried. I checked the threshold and made sure I was within it which I…

Split columns not working in cell
The span/split column paragraph setting doesn't work if the text happens to be inside a cell.
So you can't have your paragraph split into two columns inside a table.
Please fix!

Disappearing text when I type the character ,,T"
So, I have an InDesign file, which is a brandbook for a partner. Few paragraph styles and some items, nothing secial. I use Prompt (Google font) installed on my system. As soon as I hit (smallcaps) T when writing the text OR becomes unvisible or it breakes to the basic paragraph style AND it wont display the T. IF I copy and paste the text from outside of InDesign then it displays T. And the All Caps T works as well. This bugg is really annoying. Could you look into this issue?
I'm on MacOS BigSur 11.2.3

Missing strikethrough, replace text, and highlight options on share for review web link
We're using the public (with password) share for review option for our annual report because we didn't want one-time reviewers to have to make an account.
I thought that's why I was only seeing the draw and thumbtack options on the online review. But after updating InDesign the options appeared today. And then they disappeared again and I can't get them to come back.
I hope this feature can be fixed. It was so much easier to make the updates from the comments then emailed edits and scans of people markups that they PDF'd.
We had one other issue before,…

Placed graphic displays and exports outside stroke.
A placed graphic will show onscreen and in graphic exports like PNG and JPG outside the stroke when the stroke is aligned to the inside of the frame. InDesign 2020 and earlier. To reproduce: place a graphic, add a stroke to the frame, align stroke to inside, export the page to jpg or png. A thin portion of the image is visible outside the stroke. Obviously, this is most noticeable when the stroke is thick and white.
