Share for review comments disappear when updating link
I am currently working with a 102 page document that is shared with several customers. Once I make edits and I update the link, all comments from myself and the customers disappear. Even after restarting my computer, updating InDesign, signing out and signing in of Creative Cloud, the problem still persists. I am working on a MAC and InDesign version 17.2.1. This problem is only happening with one project file, and I've also tried moving all of the pages to a new document with no luck. I appreciate any help.

"Missing font" dialog design error
In the "Missing Fonts" dialog box, the "Skip" button (B: Überspringen) is clearly highlighted. So you might think that you activate this button with "Enter". Instead, pressing "Enter" opens the "Replace Fonts" (A: Schriften ersetzen…) dialog, which has a slightly bold border.
This is visually completely nonsensical and confusing.1 vote -
Text wrap around anchored objects needs to work according to settings. It is inconsistent and erratic.
Text wrap refuses to wrap properly around my anchored objects regardless of anchor placement in the paragraph or text wrap offset settings.
This causes the object to overlap the text and/or have inconsistent margin offset around the object. It's erratic and inconsistent among the various objects, even though they all have the exact same object style applied.
Some of the objects wrap a little better than others - at least they're not overlapping on top of text - but the wrap margins are still inconsistent. Not a single object wraps how I believe it should based on the style attributes…

.TTF and .OTF font display/loading BUG InDesign 17.2
Fonts that used to load fine in InDesign appear missing even though they are installed and work in other apps like Illustrator or even Word.

v 17.0.1
Intel Mac
Big SurIf you have a longer text written on a circle path and try to »Create Outlines« it fails at one area: The text gets smaller and is kind of turned around.
This only happens with longer text: Short text seems to work ok.

Nav bar size change ruins my web app layout
Adobe have recently made the Nav bar at the bottom of the Publish Online interface fatter, unfortunately for my company, this means a carefully crafted web-app now has the Nav bar covering the lower part of my menu. It also on some PO documents, stays popped-up for much longer than 5 seconds, sometimes on single page documents, up to 15 seconds.
Adobe say this is because they wanted to improve accessibility, but really they're messing with a space that shouldn't keep changing, as per the margin around PO documents they added earlier in the year. Improve the products - yes,…1 vote -
snippet not retaining font
As per the Adobe forum post here (https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/font-not-embedding-into-snippet/m-p/13153510#M489639) , I've added a form/text field into a snippet, but when placed the font used is replaced by Myriad... the font I want is a custom TTF. Is there a recognised issue here?
If I place the *.idms file with that TextBox formfield to the same document where I exported it from all is working good. But if I do a new document and place it there the font family definition reverts to Minion Pro. The style's name will remain. E.g. Semibold if I do this with your supplied font…

Creating QR code for UK text message using 11 numbers (07875701049), but get error message. 'No useable data found' on iPhone camera
Hmm very limited characters to describe the bug!? I just want to report the bug, or find out if I just need to include certain UK or International telephone codes, i.e. I have used the standard 11 numbers for a UK mobile/cell phone, but have also tried adding country and area codes... but still get the same result. Why is it only giving me an option to send this message with a, 'Post idea' button?? I just want to report a bug!

File Can't Export to PDF
I have a specific file that I cannot export to PDF. I simply get a Background Task Alert that says 'Failed to Export the PDF file.' This is the only file which gives me this problem, I'm able to export other files just fine. I am using PC, and other co-workers on Mac are able to Export the file just fine.
I'm unsure as to what the issue is because I am getting No Errors mentioned in my Preflight Panel, and the Background Task Alert isn't giving any sort of code associated with the error.

Indesign Documents placed in Indesign do not show used effect after reopening
… and also export "sometimes" the wrong rendering as PDF.
After reopening the saved File with the Placed Indesign-File it always displays in a wrong way! Thats quite new! look screenshot below
I also recognized that sometihing changed in handling with the effects in Indesign. Especially if I copy objects from Indesign to Photoshop (a thing i made over years without problems) .... the look as it was in Indesign changes unfortunally. The only solution is at the moment to export the parts as pic and open it than in Photoshop, to be save evrything is as wanted.

Boards are not displaying
All I can see is a grey screen surrounded by my tools and panels, as though I had hidden my pages. My cursor works as normal, identifying objects and texts, and can even select and move them, but nothing is shown. Occasionally a pdf file will be visible as part of a glitch. I have tried updating my Mac, Indesign, and restarting both.

Bug: Page selector not correct after opening next file
Indesign v17.1, Windows 10
Problem: when opening a second document while the first currently is on page 22, for example (see screenshot), and then tiling, the 2nd document is shown to be on page 22 as well, though it's not. With the 2nd document being on master page C-Rear EA, the page selector not only shows 22, it also has the checkmark put next to 22 when you open the dropdown.1 vote -

Preview glitches.
ID 17.2.1
Zooming in/out in a document sometimes displays glitches/artifacts that block the view of the actual design.
Moving the window or dragging the document around the pasteboard fixes the issue; still, it's annoying because it blocks one from working properly.1 vote
