CMYK JPG export does not preserve the correct dpi export information
To demonstrate this bug, I've made an A4 landscape document as shown in image 1.
If I export this to an RGB PNG using the settings in image 2, the image exports as expected and all figures - including the ppi - are correct as shown in image 3.
If I export this to a CMYK jpgs using the settings in image 4, the image exports but the expected ppi of 300 ppi is incorrect and it has exported at 72ppi, though the pixel dimensions are correct (shown in image 5).
If I export this to an RGB jpg using…1 vote -
When changing (only) the color in the character style the text is changing from place
When changing (only) the color in the character style the text is changing from place. Indesign version 16.4.2, MacOs Mojave 10.14.6
When I do this by hand there is no problem. For me this is a huge problem because it is the link color in my whole document.
I am a user of Indesign from the beginning (1.0). I looked and tryed many things and it was never a problem. Hope you can help!1 vote -
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…

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 -
Turning a shape into a frame
It's easy enough to create a frame inside InDesign and drop in an image. I would however like to be able to bring in my own shape already made, turn it into a frame and drop in an image. I reached out to support. They told me I needed to put my png shape into Illustrator for it to work. We tried it together and it still didn't work. We came to the conclusion that this should be a new feature.

Bug: Find/replace fonts doesn't work on hidden conditional text
Version: Indesign 17.x
Problem: when opening a document that reports a missing fonts, replacing all instance with "Replace all" buttons might not work or not replace all when the text is conditional and currently hidden.
It's understandable that "Find first" cannot work on hidden text, because that would mean to reveal it, but "Replace" all wouldn't jump to any text part in the document, so it should work.1 vote -

Dropdown Menu "Type" Text Not Consistent
Currently using v17.3 and I believe the "Find/Replace Font..." (under "Type" menu bar) should be with initial caps and not what I'm currently seeing. It should be the same style as "Find/Change", right?
Checked with my fellow InDesign users and seems like it's only me.
Anybody else has this issue?Thanks!

InDesign Window Moves Slightly Offscreen (So I Can't Adjust Window Size) When Plugged Into External QHD Display
I'm using a 14" M1 Pro Macbook Pro, and when plugging into an external display (QHD), Indesign's top window moves slightly offscreen (see attached picture). Goes away when I unplug the display, but quite annoying to have to remember to resize the window before plugging it into a display since I can't resize the window another way without that top bar accessible.

Space Bar Shortcut for Hand Tool frequently stops working (MacOS)
About once a week I find that the hand tool shortcut stops working.
Restarting InDesign doesn't resolve the issue, however restarting the computer does.Space bar continues to work in all other capacities (including as a spacebar, as I'm experiencing the bug right now and yet still able to add spaces into this text box)

Share for Review: 404 Error, I'm the owner but receive no access
I have hundreds of share for review links that all don't work anymore, neither for me nor externals. They all end up at 404. When I open the indd, I get the message that I'm not permitted to create or update a review link because I'm not the owner — I am. I've tried logging out and back in but that didn't help. My indesign is fully up to date at version 17.3.
