Undo does not work properly on deleted text, it only deletes one character at a time instead of whole block of text
I am on a Mac and this is a problem with InDesign 2018.
If you backspace delete two or more characters from text, undo (Ctrl+Z) only restores one character at a time instead of the whole block that was deleted in that action.
Undo worked fine in previous versions of InDesign, and it works fine in Word and other apps.
I have tried deleting InDesign preferences and caches and even reinstalled it with import previous prefereces unchecked, but the problem remains, and I cannot find any solution. Can someone please help?

Absurd translation of the word "spread" in Czech UI
Please correct the absurd translation of the “spread” on the Effects window. In this context, you cannot translate it as “dvojstránky” (= two pages) but rather “rozšíření” – in InDesign CS6 the translation is correct.
Please note that in some languages one word can have multiple meanings. For example, in Czech we have one word for month and moon. The words are not interchangeable, you can’t say “the moon of July” in English. But this is exactly how you translate the aformentioned expression!
It is the same with the word spread in English, it has multiple meanings and cannot be translated…
4 votesOur translator proposed "Šíření" as the new translation.
Would like to know if we should go ahead & make this change.
Pl. let us know.

Major Preview Glitch

When you toggle it on multiple elements on the page disappear, and this is happening on most documents and has only started within the last few days since the the last update. This is a major glitch when working on clients work when tings just start disappearing and not knowing if that is how it will print etc. I have uploaded a before and after image to show what disappears.

InDesign 2021 crashes when opening some panels
For example, I select some text and click to open the Hyperlinks panel. ID crashes straight away.
Or I select an anchored object, right click to select Anchored Object > Options. The panel comes up with 'Inline' selected and then I click on 'Above Line'. It crashes straight away.
I've had a similar problem working in tables, when I right click to delete a row, it crashes immediately.
I've had to go back to 2020 to be able to work on some of my documents.

Footnotes disappears
Some footnotes disappeared without reason then appeared back when I changed something in the linked paragraph. InDesign didn't display any kind of warning about this problem.
4 votesHi,
Part of this issue was fixed with the latest release of InDesign 15.0.1For all new files created with ID 15.0.1 the issue will not come. For older files opened in ID 15.0.1, you will have to resize, move or do some text editing operation to make the footnote appear
In case you are still facing the issue in new files created post ID 15.0.0 , please share a sample file
Thanks

indesign cursor lag
My cursor is lagging while passing over portions of the Layers Panel specifically.
I'm working on a Macbook Pro, with a BenQ GW2765 external monitor.
The issue only happens while InDesign is on the external monitor, and it works fine while on the macbook pro.
I've attached a video sample of the issue in action.4 votesWe have identified that this occurs when you connect your Macbook Pro with an external monitor using the older, obsolete Apple adapter.
On using the newer, updated model of the Apple adapter, this issue does not occur. Many of our users have confirmed this.
Please share what hardware you’re using to connect the external monitor to your MBP.

eyedropper tool
Using the eyedropper tool to select a color from the desired text is not working properly. Only strokes are painted with the desired color, not the text. It should like Illustrator's eyedropper tool which works perfectly. I have to use Illustrator's eyedropper tool to get the desired results I want.
4 votesHi,
Please can you confirm if the “Character Settings” are turned on in the Eyedropper options?
you can double click the eyedropper tool to check the eyedropper optionsThanks

Master Page
When setting up multiple 2 page spread master pages, there is an issue with graphics overlapping onto other master pages when 'Facing Pages' is switched on.
For example - Master Page A is blank, and Master Page B has a green box along the top of the page.
When the Master Page A is placed next to a Master Page B, the green box graphic spreads onto Master Page A as well.
Please see the attached screen shots for clearer explanation.

PDF Export causes Acrobat to crash
I am having trouble exporting InDesign files to PDF.
This is what I'm seeing:
Exporting PDFs from InDesign works fine if no PDF is open. If you have a PDF already open or are exporting a 2nd PDF with the first still open it crashes Adobe.I have updated Windows to a later version, checked drivers, the event viewer logs. I looked for similar issues online, repaired Acrobat from Control panel and from within the app.
Please share any advice.
4 votesHi,
Please let us know if it the InDesign application crashing or Acrobat?

Can you please look at the separations plate and let us know the color values.
You just have to follow simple steps:
1. Launch your InDesign
2. Create an object say rectangle and fill your color
3. Go to Window→Output→Separations Preview
4. Select the drop down of View to Separations
5. Hover over your object. The separations will show you how much % of which color component comprises the color.Also, let me know the Platform and OS version that you are working on.
A short video showing the issue will be very helpful.
You can directly reach me out at sakverma@adobe.comThanks,

Separations Preview
Like previous versions of InDesign CC the color separations preview still does not work correctly.
When user tries to view separations by turning a color separation off, or toggling back and forth between colors, the visible page in the document goes completely haywire - scattering elements and superimposing images from other nearby pages. See attached screenshots of the issue.
This has been an issue for awhile and I am dismayed it still has not been addressed as it is a very useful function in the printing industry. Since the launch of CC I have had to check my separations in…
