Inconsistent names of spaces in Czech UI
There is a mess in the names of spaces in Czech UI. The names of spaces are not consistent:
Em Space = "Em mezera" or "Dlouhá mezera"
En Space = "En mezera" or "Krátká mezera"
Nonbreaking Space = "Pevná mezera" or "Nedělitelná mezera"Depending on the situation, the user sees either one or the other name for an identical space.
I suggest to:
1. Use "En mezera" and "Em mezera" only. It is not the traditional Czech name, it is an Anglicism, but quite widespread and understandable
2. Use "Čtverčíková mezera" and "Půlčtverčíková mezera", the traditional typographic terms, nevertheless some…3 votes -

After typing values in dialogue boxes, InDesign list panels unusable + Mouse click outside InDesign window not working
Hi all,
I have a persistent issue with scrolling some InDesign panel lists such as swatches, font list, font weight.
After I type any set value on a dialogue box (like font size, transparency, color tone, font spacing etc), some fundamental InDesign panels become unusable: list elements (swatches, fonts etc) slip away from mouse selection like they were anchored to cursor.
Mouse click outside InDesign window to desktop or other apps also doesn't work.
Functionality can be restored only by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Canc and then Esc.I attach a sample video of the issue:

InDesign 2023 (18.0)
When attempting to switch the font family, the font menu jumps all the way to the top of the list instead of moving up to the previous font family in the list.
Hack solution: If you choose a different weight and then attempt to change the font family, the font menu works correctly and doesn't jump to the top.
This makes 2023 unusable, downgrading until fixed.

email QR Codes don't work with MATMSG formatting
InDesign 18.1 on Mac OS 13.2.1 Ventura - Data merge for email QR codes specifically doesn't work, and your documentation is frankly non-existent. Using the MATMSG format doesn't produce a working QR with Data Merge, but using HTML format mailto in Plain Text does. I'm sure I'll run into the wrong version VCARD problem soon, too.
This is consistent using the MATMSG format in a .csv with data Merge. Using the manual entry isn't a workable option due to the quantity of codes being generated.

Nothing changed, but InDesigns asks for saving changes
When opening an object, doing nothing (or just print) and closing it, InDesign comes up with a dialog to save changes. That feels very uncomfortable - did I change something by accident?
PS Pressing cmd-S for save brings up the Save As... dialog.

Descendant Report
descendent over run the original person at more generations. This does not happen all the time, but occasionally. I uploaded first page and last page to illustrate. Didn't mean to load them multiple times I didn't realize I was doing it at first then I couldn't erase them. Hope this is not a dumb question sometimes I have a hard time explaining myself.
Thanks

decimals after zero for baseline grid
The pitch of the baseline grids being in pt, I want to be able to adjust my layout in millimeters to this grid. My conversion gives me a match of 7.0866pt for 2.5mm. However, indesign rounded this measurement from 7.0866 to 7.087. Perhaps it would be interesting to offer the possibility of increasing the possible decimals after the comma?

Add transparency option to paragraph shading
Paragraph shading is super nice, but a lot of people would like to have them a little transparent over images. I know there is a option for overprinting, but this also change the color and is not a real transparency. Without this option it has to be done manually on each element.
So please add this additional feature to the settings. Thx

Hello^^ My downloaded ID program, I think, is missing some features or functions.
Actually I think ID in my notebook is downloaded with a incomplete one. I'm a beginner of ID. But while I'm learning it through Youtube lecture, some functions are not active. The lecturer explains a certain function and that item on his ID is active. But on my ID that functions is displayed inactive, so that fucncition can not be selected. Please let me have a normal, complete ID in my notebook.

adjust layout not resizing all pages in file
Why would Adjust Layout only resize the first 2 (out of 128) pages in my INDD doc? It's only happening on one file. all others resize all 128 pages...as far as I know, the file structures are all identical (they were copied from a master template)...

zoom with touchpad windows
I would like you to make it possible to zoom with the fingers on the touchpad in Windows. It works in illustrator, but not in Indesign, at a PC, in Windows (only on Mac). Could you make this possible? It gives so much better control over the working process

Match pasteboard to screen color fails with dark theme under normal/preview
I have the pasteboard (Interface/Appearance/Color Theme) set to the darkest of dark, and I have Dark Mode on. (Ventura 13.3.3, InDesign 18.2.1). In Normal (w) file, it's the darkest color I selected, but when I switch to Preview, Bleed or Slug (w) the pasteboard turns a light gray. I don't see anything under preferences to correct this.
