No Panels at Start
Many times CC apps start with no panels at all or panels which won't expand when clicked.
Also happens in Photoshop, Illustrator in my experience and on different machines (Mac Pro at home, different iMacs at the office).
Has been going on for many iterations of CC apps.

You do not have access to Publish Online service.
I have been working with publish online services for a few months now and have spent the past few days re-publishing the same document trying work out some kinks in the button operations and animation timing.
Suddenly today, I began receiving this error when trying to publish online "You cannot use this feature right now. Please check your network connectivity."
Additionally, when I try to access the publish online dashboard I see this error: "You do not have access to Publish Online service."
I am currently running version 15.0.
Has anyone had this happen before and know what to do?…

Moving objects between layers using the layers panel doesn't always work
I struggle with moving objects between different layers in an InDesign document by using the layers panel. Often it takes two or more attempts to move objects. I wonder if it's the tolerance of the buttons or if this is genuinely a bug.

Issues with epub quality on the new 2023 update
I'm a book publisher. I downloaded the latest InDesign update last week. I created the files and saved them like in the previous software. However, the vendors are all rejecting the epub files stating they're not validating in their epub software. I had to go redownload the prior version of InDesign, and it works like a charm. The glitch seems to be in the new version of the InDesign software.
12 votesFix for this issue is now available in the latest release of InDesign 2023 - that is, InDesign 18.1 version.
Please update to this version of InDesign to get the fix.

InDesign performance issue: Slow on documents present on server
it's not an idea, but a problem. Indesign creates problems on the network and is very slow with server documents, as never before. The media told me to work locally, but I ask Adobe to solve the problem. Windows 10 64 bit - Intel processor 32 GB of ram.

SVG Font Designation Not Shown in Find Font
If a font is an SVG font, InDesign shows the square box "SVG" designation in the font dropdown. However, if you view the font info under Find Font (Type>Find Font), the font type does not show as SVG. There is no way to determine if an SVG font was used in the file other than to view in the font dropdown. That is a problem as SVG fonts are not supported in PDF yet and will not be caught by preflight. Can the SVG designation be added to the Find Font info screen?

The bug as described on https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2344905 still exists in the latest version.
During the exporting INDD into IDML, the error below occurs.
Certain Paragraph Return (\r) is changed into 'PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR'(U+2029) and the first sentence’s paragraph style is changed into the paragraph style of the second sentence which makes two sentences into one.

Exporting Emojis to PDF
I built a newsletter with the use of the new Apple Emoji "glyphs" in InDesign and when I went to export it as a PDF, it replaced my emojis with random images from my file.
I talked with Adobe support and learned that only vector emojis can be used in PDFs which is a bit frustrating! Can we update the PDF export capability to include these new emoji features, so we can use the glyphs like I think that they were intended? I'd be a happy camper!! Thank you in advance!

Tab controls are buggy. InDesign CC 2018
When using the Tabs control dialogue box all sorts of problems begin to manifest. First, as you are working with the tabs controls page elements go sideways. Text overlaps, sometimes entire paragraphs preceding the area you are working in.
On occasion, the tabs simply don't line up to where you assign them, even when you do so numerically. (See screenshot)
Settings for paragraph styles take precedence over tabs settings (even though tabs traditionally were the opposite, taking precedence.)
