Custom menus created by script stay after relaunching InDesign
There's a bug in InDesign 2022 where custom menus created by a script stay after relaunching InDesign.
How to reproduce:
-Run this AppleScript script which will create a menu titled Custom Menu:
tell application "Adobe InDesign 2022"
tell menu "$ID/Main" to make submenu with properties {title:"Custom Menu"}
end tell-Relaunch InDesign
The menu Custom Menu will still be there. While it should NOT be there unless explicitely created by a script again.
The only way to remove it is to run a separate script that specifically removes the menu.
It's a big problem for third-party software: for example, where users…

Adding file extension after first letter of file name when saving a new document
When I save a new document, the default file name is "Untitled-1.indd" (or .psd or .ai). If I want to call the file "ProjectA.indd" when I start typing and press "P" all creative cloud apps add the file extension after the first letter then continue with what I am typing. So what should be "ProjectA" turns into "P.inddrojectA." If I only type "Pr" I get "P.inddr." If I start to delete and remove the r and the second d, it will add the file extension again so I end up with "P.ind.indd." If I delete back to the "P" and…

Transparency from PSD or PNG not showing in InDesign 17.0.1
Since InDesign updated to v17.0.1 (from the v17 before this), transparency on pngs and psd's has stopped working. Instead it drops in a black background and messes with the colours.
The image on blue shows how it should work (using a workaround dropping it onto white and setting the transparency to darken), the other is with the PNG or PSD imported with transparency. It was fine yesterday before updating.1 voteCould you share the PSD and PNG files with us?
If yes, please send them to indshare@adobe.com, mentioning

keyboard shortcuts not working
2017 iMac Retina 5K 27", running Big Sur 11.5.2, InDesign 2021.
Suddenly, without warning or explanation certain keyboard shortcuts have stopped working.
The T shortcut to change to type tool flicks to type tool and then back to original tool (eg Selection tool).
Hand tool on space bar does not work and zoom on space bar + cmd does not work.
For some time now, you can't hide ID when there are no documents open by using cmd–H.
I have been using ID since almost the very beginning and these have always worked. As I'm paying a monthly sub for…

background
Background colors (that should just be white) go crazy on tables and other pages until InDesign is quit and re-opened. There's no specific action that seems to trigger the issue, and it appears intermittently. This is happening on version 16.4.0.54.

Wrong use of German term »Nutzen« in the PDF export options dialogue
The term »Nutzen« is not used correctly as this usually refers to how many units of a design you put onto a printing sheet.
What it should read in the options is simply »Doppelseite« or »Doppelseite fortlaufend« or »Doppelseite (Deckblatt)« or »Doppelseite fortlaufend (Deckblatt). The term »Nutzen« should be omitted completely.
41 votesThe issue has been fixed in the latest release of InDesign – InDesign 2021.
Please update to this new version of InDesign to get the fix.—

This issue happens in Apple’s own applications like Text Edit as well. It is not restricted to InDesign.

Nested anchored tables are tagged as artifacts in PDF
- Adobe InDesign, v.16.4
- Create three text frames, with a table in the third. Anchor the frame with the table into the second frame, then anchor the second frame into the first. Style and create Articles for an accessible PDF. Export to an Interactive PDF.
- Table would appear tagged and in same order as it was anchored in the INDD file.
- Table is set as an artifact and does not appear in the tag tree at all.

Rechteck Rahmen
Es ist sehr mühsam in InDesign den Rechteck-Werkzeugrahmen zu aktivieren. Es funktioniert nur noch, wenn man exakt auf den Rahmen klickt. Klick in Table funktioniert nicht mehr. Das erschwert den Arbeitsablauf und nimmt viel Zeit. Bitte um Korrektur. Danke

Saving postscript goes to wrong folder
Indesign 2022 17.0 is saving postscript files to the wrong folder. It saves to the last folder that a postscript was created in rather than the folder the document was opened from. I've tried resetting preferences but that did not help.

Disable cross-references
InDesign is far too slow when you have too many cross-references in a single document - and by too many I mean not many at all (I have 30 in one of mine, and the document grinds to a halt all the time). Whilst opening every single document that is references helps a bit, this is far from a satisfactory solution. At a minimum it should be possible to disable cross-references whenever you want, to avoid the performance hit. It would also be a good idea to fix the cross-references issue completely, so that cross-references are not constantly being updated…
