    InDesign 16.1
    MacOS BigSur M1 Chip

    share for review worked for me in Chrome from my own account, but when I shared it with another user, the link did not allow them to open the review in their version of Chrome. Firefox and Safari worked fine.

  3. Edit -> Duplicate - keyboard shortcut broken

    It has been broken for years actually, you cannot use a keyboard shortcut to duplicate. It's in every version of InDesign for years.

    Easily reproducible - select an object and try to duplicate via keyboard shortcut (command - option - shift - D).

  4. File Info > Raw Data panel doesn't allow to select text and search

    The File Info > Raw Data panel stopped working as expected:

    -The search field doesn't work
    -It's impossible to even select text in the panel

    I'm pretty sure it worked earlier - so something probably got broken recently.

  9. bullet numbering not resetting

    To make numbered lists automatically reset between body copy text, I set body copy to be a numbered list without any numbering at level 1.

    Numbered lists are level 2. With tick box 'reset numbers at this level after Any Previous Level'

    But the numbered list doesn't get reset when there are body copy between.

    It only resets if the level 1 paragraph style is actually numbering.

  12. Color picker HSB interface not working correctly

    Indesign 2021 v16.1

    While using the new HSB interface in the Color Picker, when any of the the "HSB" radials are selected, the chosen color values change to something completely different. Please see the uploaded pictures for an example.

    When the cursor is dropped into the any of the CMYK value entires, the color changes back to what was intended.

    If the selected object still has a color thats chosen in HSB is sampled and applied to another object. the new object's color will show up in the color picker as the intended color but with a in-gamut color option…

  13. Indesign 16. Problema con sangrías de texto y objetos con contorneo

    Cuando una caja de texto o imagen con contorneo mueve texto sangríado (en el ejemplo, sangría en la primera línea) la sangría de la primera línea desaparece.
    Ver en la muestra los ejemplos correctos dentro del circulo superior y los 2 inferiores en los que la sangría no se muestra correctamente debido a la caja de imagen con contorneo que se ve a la izquierda.

  15. Pages Palette Bug

    Hello,

    1. Create a new document with 5 pages.
    2. Draw out a text frame on each page and insert a number starting with "5" on page 1, "4" on page 2, "3" on page 3, "2" on page 4 and "1" "on page 5.
    3. Now try to sort the numbers into the correct order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) by dragging the thumbnails to the correct place in the Pages palette. You will not succeed because the respective side always jumps one position too far. I reported this bug over a year ago and it still isn't fixed! (Indesign version 16.1)

  16. Images not importing within frame

    Indesign has started randomly importing images incorrectly - sometimes with the frame much larger than the image, sometimes with the image out of the frame bounds, forcing me to resize each frame to fit the image. Very frustrating.

    See screenshot of image as it should import on the left, and on the right how it actually imports.

  17. Swatch pallet not showing current color in use

    Since the latest update to version 16.1 the color swatches do not show which color is currently in use. You cannot toggle between the fill and border either in that pallet. The color swatches work in the top menu and the left tool bar but not in the pallets.

  18. Variable fonts: Feature Variations not working

    In the current version of Adobe CC, Variable fonts’ Feature Variations are not working. Please have a look at the Trial version of my typeface Pangea (https://fontwerk.com/de/fonts/pangea-superfamily):
    https://christoph.koe.berlin/_temp/PangeaVAR_Trial_2.000.ttf

    Axes for Weight, Italic, Apertures, Extenders, Inktraps and Spacing are working, but as soon as you move the sliders of the the last axes (Single-storey a, single-storey g and Straight l) the font is marked as missing and jumps back to the basic style.

    1. InDesign version 16.1, MacOS 10.14.6 and above
    2. Steps to reproduce the issues: Install font via FontBook, move sliders in last three axes
    3. Expected result: Glyphs a, g,…

  20. Picture box, dragging/moving is erratic and tricky

    There is no ghosting or even greeking of the images during a move, scale, and the box often sticks and can't be dropped.
