layer visibility of placed ai file is not updated when edited in Illustrator.
When layer visibility of a placed Illustrator (.ai) file is edited in Illustrator, InDesign does not update. The layer that is not visible in the .ai file is still visible in the InDesign file.
Manually placing the revised .ai file into InDesign shows the file correctly.

cursor stuck on hand
My system has just updated InDesign to 19.1 (08/01/24) and I now have a grabber hand cursor appearing every time I try and click on anything in my file.
This also happens if I have another tool selected such as text box. The tool icon appears but if I click on a text box the hand comes back. It's rendered doing anything in InDesign files useless. I can't find a setting for it and I have tried resetting preferences but it is still happening. My computer system is running Ventura 13.6.
Does anyone have a work around?

Text disappearing while editing
On my MacBook Air when I use InDesign and I am editing text it frequently disappears then when I zoom in again it will reappear. It only ever disappears from view, it is never lost but still very annoying. It will do this about every 4 words I type.

Behavior of "Change" button different than behavior of "Change All" button
When finding and changing the paragraph or character style of some text to another paragraph or character style, using "Find" and "Change/Find" retains any local formatting (italic, bold, underline, superscript, etc.) in the affected paragraph. "Change All," however, removes all local formatting in the affected paragraphs.

Input Options for Place aren't remembered
When I go to place a page from a pdf into an indesign document, the selection is set to transparent. I uncheck transparent, but I have to do that again each time I place a new page. The crop options don't stay either. Can't this be remembered?

Indesign file shows as modified upon opening a page with placed PNGs
- InDesign 19.0.1
- Steps to reproduce: open an InDesign file with a placed PNG.
- Expected result: file opens, no asterisk appearing next to file name.
- Actual result: file opens, PNG re-renders in high quality, asterisk suddenly appears next to file name.
As of this morning, every time I open a file that has placed PNGs, InDesign flags the document as modified, with the asterisk and asks me if I want to save the document before closing, even I made zero edits. To give even more credence, it only happens when I navigate to a page that has a linked PNG file…

ID 2023 and 2024 issues with variable weight fonts
In addition to the odd weight mix on screen display or the incorrect spacing for bolder faces on variable fonts in 2024, variable fonts do not outline correctly. The outlined objects do not create compound paths correctly for character elements that join (example: bottom bar of lower case e crosses over onto spine of letter) causing effect and trap errors.
UPDATE: 19.1 update installed. The font weight issue appears to be fixed, but the font outlines are still an issue, as I reported to Adobe in the bug reports. The characters when outlines do create compound paths, they create overlapping…

dual monitors - UI stays the size of the small monitor even when I drag it back to the large HD monitor
Windows 10
Monitor 1 is my Huion display tablet 16”
Monitor 2 is main 32" Samsung monitorIf I open InDesign with "extend these displays" checked in the windows display settings and then drag the program back to Monitor 2 (32" Samsung) - the work area is smaller and I cannot drag it to fill the screen. Also the text for all dialog boxes is too small and the program will not release from the settings of the Huion tablet.
I need to be able to have InDesign behave like Photoshop - which opens up with the same scaling and…

Can't export pdf from InDesign then InDesign closes
I can't export a pdf from InDesign, then InDesign itself closes (no crash report, even though I changed the setting so I can see one). This issue has only started today (18 December); the last time I exported a pdf was 4 days ago and it was fine. I'm using Windows Pro 10, have updated InDesign to the latest version, restarted the computer and tried various settings. Please help! I have a client waiting for the document and I can't deliver it. With thanks.
