Some hyperlinks/cross-references lost in HTML export
When exporting a document containing hyperlinks and/or cross-references to HTML, some hyperlinks are lost.
See the screenshot of an example InDesign document attached. (This is an anonymised excerpt from a much larger document.) The index item at the bottom contains cross-references to numbered/lettered paragraphs in the text above.
In the actual HTML output files from both InDesign 2020 and 2021, some of those cross-references have not been correctly converted into hyperlinks. (Compare the links in the expected HTML output file.)
Ugly workaround: insert extra characters immediately before and after each distinct hyperlink/cross-reference. In the actual 'bookended links' HTML file you…

All resolved comments disappeared
Overnight all resolved comments and their respective users disappeared from the Review panel. When switching the filter no comments are shown anymore and i can't get them back in neither scenario (logging in the CC online and looking in the review link, looking in InDesign itself and so on). Is there any chance to get those resolved comments back? They haven't been deleted neither, either the client or I resolved those through both ways and the day before everything was there and viewable with the respective filter. Without them it's nearly impossible to keep a backlog of all the changes.

shift-enter - tabs palette inconsistent with other palettes
In previous versions of Indesign (I have just now tested in CS4) you could press shift-enter in the tabs palette and focus would remain on the tab setting. This would allow you to easily enter a precise value and move the tab stop. Pressing Ctrl-Shift-Enter would do the same but add a new tab stop. This meant you could easily add tabs at precise stops right from the keyboard without having to double click in the box every time. This would also make the behaviour consistent with the other palettes where shift-enter applies the value but keeps focus.

InDesign 2022 (17.1) quick keys not working
I recently updated to 2022 and now the cmd, option, shift keys no longer work for moving/dragging/resizing with constraints, etc. This is pretty major functionality.

Language.
My InDesign is in Hungarian.
I would like to have it in English.
I have uninstalled.
I have changed language preferences.
I have installed.
It remained in Hungarian.
I have done this 3 times today. It was very boring. This is not a service.
Your chat support told me this is because I use my Windows in Hungarian.
This is ridiculous. This is a bug. You must fix it.
If I change the app to English it should be English for good no matter what my Windows is using.
E.g. Photoshop is in English!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 vote -

Even though I have uninstalled, changed the language preferences and installed it again, it remained in Hungarian.
I have tried 3 times. It was very boring.
Your help support said it is because I use my Windows in Hungarian.
This is not true, because Photoshop is in English for instance.
Change this!

Bottom of links palette not clickable/acessible
The items at the bottom of the links palette are not accessible, I can't scroll all the way down to select them, they seem to be trapped under the line that divides the list from the info area. There's no way of relinking or updating links these links, which is very frustrating. The is happening on all my versions of indesign on all computer for at least two years (on Mac).Is this not happening to anyone else?

Roboto fonts not working in indesign
I have tried everything to add Roboto fonts to creative cloud to be used in InDesign but nothing works. First, I click on the "f" in the upper right hand corner, and it just spins and spins saying loading. The next thing I tried was going to Adobe Fonts website and 'Activiating all Robot Fonts." Even though it shows as activated, Whenever I try to export my design it says following fonts (Roboto family) aren't currently available.

Image quality of exported JPG/PNG very low for InDesign 17.2.1
Since the latest update, exporting image files is virtually impossible and creates very low images. See attached for comparison between Photoshop and InDesign exported files. This issue may be caused by a problem with the Nvidia Studio Driver and the lates update for InDesign. The same problem occurs when exporting a highres PDF and then Exporting from Acrobat to an image file.

InDesign 2021 PDF saving & exporting before settings can be applied
Running InDesign 2021 16.4.0.54
When connected to the 3rd party plugin, Agility I can export 1, sometimes 2, files the way I want, i.e. pg. 84 then all pages on another file. After that once I choose save location, the file immediately exports & is usually done by the time the export dialog box comes up. So if I want pg. 50, it's still looking for pg. 84 so it does all pages. Or it'll do all pages if that's what was done beforehand. I can't change any export settings, even if I do & click export they are not…2 votes -
Buttons/interactivity not working
Buttons and interactivity not working. I'm working on a MAC, latest MacOS, latest versions of all things Adobe. On export of my document to PDF, hover states no longer show for buttons, there's a huge lag on the response from buttons, and I'm also having a bizarre issue with clicks of buttons creating a box the shape of the button that is a preview of the page its supposed to jump to. All of this worked fine for me until a few weeks ago and all of a sudden, it no longer functions. Can anybody suggest ways to troubleshoot and…

Text appears heavier over a transparent image
When text is in a layer above an image that has its basic blending mode set to "multiply" the text is rendered with a darker outline. This does not appear in the final PDF, only the preview, but it makes it extremely difficult to judge font sizes and whether text is bold.
To reproduce:
- Create text in a text box.
- Insert a JPEG image on the page.
- Use the Arrange option on the image to "send to back" so that it is in a layer below the text
- Use Effects > Transparency on the image and set its blending mode…

Memory issues
I began putting the current prerelease build (release candidate for InDesign 2022) through its paces on Monday. For the first time in the almost full year since I have been using this M1 MacBook Pro, the fan came roaring on, and all memory was depleted. When I started force quitting applications and consulted Activity Monitor, InDesign showed stratospheric memory use.
This doesn't happen all the time, but it seemed to degrade performance over time.

April 2022 update opens in unusable display mode. CRITICAL
InDesign 2022 (April) opens in "restore" screensize, but it's entirely off screen (top left). There is no way to adjust the "restore" screen size and position.
This "restore" problem has been present for many years, but now InDesign not only forgets the restore position and size, it uses uninitialized values and is impossible to use.
The "maximize" size icon is just visible on my UHD display (top left) so I can make InDesign go full screen -- but on a 50" UHD display I need an ADJUSTABLE app size. So now this latest result makes the whole program very inconvenient…1 vote -
Rulers
In the latest version it is much harder to place a guide on the exact spot because the guide in the ruler itself has become much thicker/dotted when before it was just a thin line and was more accurately placed on the needed measurement.

Fonts with a certain suffix in the family name not showing up in the font menu
InDesign 17.2.1 macOS 12.3.1
When installing four different regional packages each of them following this family name structure: name + region, being the family names:
MyFont APAC
MyFont CYR
MyFont EMEA
MyFont NALA
Fonts with CYR in the family name don't show up in the font menu, while the rest of the fonts do.
The fonts are somewhere though as InDesign does not complain about the fonts not being installed when opening a document set in that font.1 vote
