object size and position options doesn't work as expected for grouped objects
Currently if you use the size and position options in the object styles panel, it applies the x,y position to all objects individually in a group rather than to the group itself.
Anchored objects currently handle grouped objects in the correct way. This feels like a bug/oversight.
Would expect a group of objects to behave as 1 rather than being each item being treated individually within a group

Swipe gesture not working in Android Chrome.
Swipe gesture not working in Android Chrome.
https://helpx.adobe.com/us/indesign/using/publish-online.html
Among the contents of the above page, "Smoother page transitions with swipe gesture improvements" is specified.However, the swipe gesture function works normally in IOS-based browsers, but does not work in Android-based browsers (Chrome).
Very inconvenient for Android based customers/clients.
To go to the next page, touch the bottom of the screen to bring up the navigation menu/button that disappears every time, and then press the "next page button". The customer/client should repeat this behavior on every page.
This is a very serious bug and must be fixed asap.
I've tested it…

spelling
Hi, I just want you to reach out for me to the Developer team and Interface Design team of InDesign. Please tell them, that the spelling function on InDesign should undergo major improvements. It literally sucks. I've been using InDesign since 2007, and the web application, basically any, like Google, deepL, Grammarl, I think even OpenOffice... are much better. So in this matter, InDesign was never the first choice, more like the last.
-The first major problem it is very counter-intuitive to turn it on and make it work.

Fonts (TTF) work in InDesign 16.4 but not 17.0
InDesign 17.0 on Windows 10 x64
Opened document from InDesign 2021 in InDesign 2022; it was converted as part of that process. All fonts in document highlighted in pink as unavailable. Fonts are all part of Whitney family in TTF format, installed on my local computer. I verified they were still there in the fonts folder.
Used Find/Replace font and there weren't any alerts to say the fonts weren't available, but I tried updating them anyway (including changing to Minion - which worked - and then back again to Whitney, which brought back the highlights).
Could not export to PDF…

InDesign does not load type library on upgrade
Similar to the 2020 release (see https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/41072476-type-library-is-not-automatically-created-by-cc202), InDesign 2022 does not install the type library in upgrade. Please include this with the installation, as this will cause errors for many users.

color swatch
- Adobe Indesign 2022
- Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts>Panel Menus>Color: Add to Swatches>Assign a hotkey. Select a color and use the hotkey to assign a color in the InDesign document, and it will 100% of the time crash the program.
- Expected result is to have the selected color swatch created in your swatch library.

Using a variable font and exporting to PDF results in corrupted outlines in text
When using a variable font in InDesign v17.0.1 and exporting to PDF, the resulting file contains text with corrupted outlines. '.notdef' boxes get inserted into some glyphs as can be seen in the attached PDF.
This error also occurs in Illustrator.
When exporting to PDF using a non-Adobe application, no errors are seen.
Errors occur only when using variable version of the font an not the static versions.
Additional information and test fonts have been sent in an email to Josh Hadley.

Menu not appearing when clicking toolbar hamburger button
I got the problem that the menu that should appear when you click on an "hamburger" button in the top right corner of a toolbar doesn't appear.
This happens on a second screen when you got more than one screen/monitor, and the main screen has higher resolution than the second one. It also only happens to toolbars that are positioned near the bottom edge of the second screen and where the menu height is larger than the distance between the "hamburger" button and the bottom edge of the screen.2 votes -
Last row of pages panel in horizontal view is missing page numbers under them.
Currently on Mac OS Big Sur using inDesign 16.1
When viewing the pages panel in horizontal view and the page count exceeds what the panel can hold the scroll bars appear but then the last row of pages seem to have their page numbers hidden behind the UI and are not visible no matter how much you move the scroll bars down.
I have seen this behavior since inDesign 15 on Mac OS Catalina.
Edit: I should add that I have my page thumbnails set to small. I see similar behavior with pages view set to vertical but a little…

step repeat
Maybe put horizontal before vertical in Step and Repeat.... Everybody knows that x comes before y in a 2D coordinate system. It's basic geometry. I can't be the only person who trips on this bug. FIX IT!

"Tool" Keyboard Shortcuts (W, A, V, Spacebar Hand Toggle, "Shift+W") Not Working
ONLY the "Tool" keyboard shortcuts such as "W", "A", "V", the "Spacebar" Hand Toggle, and "Shift+W" are not working. All other keyboard shortcuts involving "CTRL" or "ALT" work just fine. It is the same on my Photoshop as well. I am using the "default" keyboard shortcuts in the preferences. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Indesign, and restarting the machine multiple times, opening InDesign with no other programs open, and other numerous solves on other treads.
My keyboard is not the issue, I am using a remote desktop for work and all of these shortcuts work fine on my local…

It looks like the icons for selection and direct selection are flip-flipped in the toolbar.
