variable font bugging out in InDesign
I am using General Sans variable font in Indesign which has not stopped working properly after packaging the document and prepping it to print.
Some areas of the font are showing as Italics even though they are not and should not be and there is no way to change them.
After researching it looks like variable fonts are not ready to be used in all Adobe programs for a seamless process.

With GPU preview page's content vibrates constantly | InDesign 18.2.1
I use InDesign 18.2.1 on a MacBook Pro 2023 (M2 Max) with macOS Ventura 13.2.1. When the GPU preview is enabled, the page's content vibrates constantly. Please check the attached video (I made it by putting my iPhone on a tripod in front of my display because if I start a screen recording, the issue disappears).

one click font size changer in whole file.
During translation, the text expands too much, and we have to reduce the font size to fit the text. But if it is a booklet we have to keep consistency throughout the file. Therefore if I reduce the font size in the heading will need to check and reduce the font size in the body text as well. It is time-consuming if the document is not set properly with styles.
Let's say I need to reduce font size by 1pt throughout the document. and I have multiple variations in sizes like the Heading 20pt, subheading 18, body size 12 pt…

Pdf comments - Sticky notes freeze file
INDD 18.0 PDF comments has something chronically slow going on with the sticky notes. We have done some testing here and also confirmed by other in the forums https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/pdf-comments-sticky-notes-makes-document-extremly-slow/m-p/13368359#M503963
If you delete the sticky notes the file will work as expected. But if you have 1 sticky note on a page, any editing on that page is painfully slow!
WORKAROUND - action sticky notes outside of INDD then delete them and import the file. Not ideal but manageable until Adobe can fix this one.

comments
Review comments should stay with the original site where they were left when I sort them in a new way. Not obvious? Now comment on page 1 will stay with page 1, even if the site moved to the end. that is confusing.

Position de l'objet et filtre N/B
Super !
Mais il faudrait arriver à développer un outil qui arrive à gérer les plans des objets (arrière-plant et premier plant) un peu comme dans Word ou on a une aide à la position en 3D.
Il serait bien aussi un outil qui puisse appliquer des filtres photo rapides comme en N/B.

System wide “Emoji & Symbols” panel is not working
The “picker panels” of macOS and Windows are really nice to quickly get an emoji or special character. The keyboard shortcuts for both work system wide. Almost. It works in applications from Adobe on Windows but not on Mac. I do not understand why this is blocked.

InDesign failing to start up
I'm experiencing an issue where InDesign is repeatedly crashing during start up. The only fix I have found is unistalling and reinstalling which fixes the issue temporarily, but I am having to do this multiple times daily.

Data merge panel blank
Data Merge WAS failing to display data field placeholders in either existing documents or new ones. I'm getting a completely Data Merge blank panel when importing a new source file, and when opening an existing document with a linked file, I was only seeing a preview of one of the records.
This persisted through a number of workspace configurations (most including a second monitor) until I broke the Data Merge panel off from the others, and cycled through the panel size presets (the up/down chevrons to the left of the panel title) - only once returned to 'standard' size did…1 vote -
Need Alternative Launch images
I do not think the launch images in photoshop, indesign and illustrator are culturally sensitive. They should not include any people especially not raunchy females (as in photoshops blonde superhero type) female. Who needs that in their life? It doesn't help people be happy with their own partner or spouse to have some perfect looking woman staring at them! They should be totally neutral - landscapes, nature, no people please!! I posted this as a feature request too to at least have the option to disable this launch image. Thank you for your consideration on this issue.

Error when pasting hex color code with #
When pasting a hex code with a hash character prefix (#) in InDesign 18.3 (macOS 12.6.8) you get an error that it is a incorrect color format. Even if I try to "correct" the pasted text by removing the hash character, I can‘t get InDesign to accept the pasted color code.
This annoying "bug" applies to the color window/palette.

Line Jumps by Half its Stroke Weight in InDesign CC (Version 18.3)
In InDesign CC (Version 18.3), there is a persistent bug where a line jumps unexpectedly by half its stroke weight when attempting to change its length.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open InDesign CC (Version 18.3) on the affected system.
2. Create a new document page or open an existing document.
3. Draw a line with any length and stroke weight.
4. Select the line to edit it.
5. Try to change the…2 votes -
Share for Review
Share for Review and PDF export have been consistently not working. Below is a screen share of my attempting to export a PDF and share for review. I recently got a new computer. I don't know if it's an issue with syncing but it's happening with every document I open. I get notifications from time to time saying PDF won't export because of a PNG file that is misplaced but it doesn't mention what file. Imagine trying to locate the needle in a haystack.
I've closed the files, restarted inDesign, verified that it was up to date, scoured the forums,…
