Impossible to type the dimensions of a document
When you want to personalize your own dimension on a document, you cannot just click on the sizes and enter the number, you have to put the cursor, then errase and then write, it is not convenient at all !

Indesign exporting PNG, colours look off
Trying to export some PNGs with RGB colour for web but every time I export the colours look CMYK. Had no issues yesterday, haven't tweaked with any settings since. I saw they fixed the yellow streak bug but maybe now this is a new issue. Anyone else?
Left, what it should look like. Right, what it keeps exporting as.

Presentation mode does not show latest text
This has been happening intermittently across the last several versions of indesign:
When entering presentation mode, I am shown an outdated version of my page. It is as if there is some kind of rendered page view cache that is not being cleared.3 votes -

Find/Change
Sometimes it seems that the FIND-dialog box is not opening. I had to restart my Mac mini m1. Then the function came back. Just restarting inDesign did not help.

Broken Creative Cloud links when linking to InDesign documents after InDesign 2021 Update
I work for a global creative agency. We use Creative Cloud for all of our lockups, logos and vector artwork.
Since updating to InDesign 2021, we've noticed that all Creative Cloud links are broken and when we export a file with embedded InDesign documents within it, we need to go through and open every single InDesign file again.
We now have to check every single link in every single exported PDF as there is almost always some broken assets that show up as white boxes.
InDesign doesn't give any alerts for broken links in this instance either.

Text wrap select subject or user-modified path causes hang ID 16.1
Using ID v 16.1 on an iMac running Catalina.
To reproduce: I just have to touch any image that has select subject or user-modified path text wrap applied and attempt to move it or modify it in any way. One image just caused the hang by existing, I couldn't work on the file until I deleted it.
Expected result: For the text to wrap around the image without causing program to hang.
Actual result: endless beach ball spinning until I force quit and try again.I just spent the entire day trying to work on a large project (200 pages…

InDesign Review feature 'Draw' out of alignment in web vs app
Hello, when i draw an annotation on the InDesign web review feature, it shows up outside of the alignment in the app. This makes the tool unusable for me with clients or as a viable option to suggest to our designers.

Edit -> Duplicate - keyboard shortcut broken
It has been broken for years actually, you cannot use a keyboard shortcut to duplicate. It's in every version of InDesign for years.
Easily reproducible - select an object and try to duplicate via keyboard shortcut (command - option - shift - D).

File Info > Raw Data panel doesn't allow to select text and search
The File Info > Raw Data panel stopped working as expected:
-The search field doesn't work
-It's impossible to even select text in the panelI'm pretty sure it worked earlier - so something probably got broken recently.

Rendering intent not being respected switching color spaces inside Swatch-Panel
Hi there,
so apparently the rendering intent set in the document OR the application isn't being respected when the color space of a swatch is being changed e.g. from RGB to CMYK.
Tested in InDesign 15.1.3 and 16.0.1
Steps to reproduce:
1 create a new document, with working spaces sRGB and "PSO coated v3" (profile available on eci.org)
2 create a swatch, e.g. RGB 0 / 98 / 227
3 change to CMYK, results in the correct 90,64 / 63,6 / 0 / 0Now
- go back to step 2
- change the "Solid Color" rendering intent of the…2 votes -
Very Slow Performance
Very Slow Performance
Yes, InDesign is extremely slow today 2020-06-19, almost unusable, even many months after being discovered.
The most worrying is that it seems that this bug was discovered in September 2019.As David wrote 2019-09-04: “Almost every action from selecting objects, resizing objects, or moving objects comes with a really slow reaction time”.
Behaviour:
InDesign freezes, and my cursor starts spinning around (CPU jumps to 95-98%) for almost 30-45 seconds before I can continue with next command.
The behaviour is random, but when it starts working slow, then it continues. It usually happens when I open two InDesign…16 votes
