InDesign Element changed/defective GREP-Styles after adding it to the cc library
Indd Version 2022, 17.2.1
The following Bug occurs: I created an Indd Element with assigend object- and paragraph styles using GREP-styles. If I copy that Element from document to document, it will work just fine. Once I add it to the cc library, the GREP-Styles become defective, even though nothing was changed.
The defective Styles then stay within that one element.futhermore, any object styles using auto-sizing are deformed when placing them from the library.
the screenshot with the superscript 1 is correct, once in libraries, the 1 won't be superscript anymore.
The torn yellow box is what happens once…

This Only happens in adobe indesign, I can get a space with the space bar in this very box and other applications, but NOt in my indesign document. I have to copy and paste a space to get one in my document. You can imagine how that slows my work.

Can't place jpgs at actual size.
It would be amazing if you could place jpgs at actual size instead of InDesign placing them at sizes that are apparently (based on resolution?)
If I have an 5 inch square jpg file, the resolution should not have anything to do with what size it places at. If it is 5x5 and 300 dpi, and I place it in InDesign, it should be 5x5. If I have a 5x5 jpeg that is 50 dpi, and I place it in InDesign, it should also be 5x5 after placing. I shouldn't have to SCALE something I place to get it to…1 vote -
story direction missing indesign 19.2
I don’t know how, but I activated story direction right to left when i created a frame with columns. I went crazy to disable it, so i found that there is an option which is missing in my indesign version (19.2. italian language). Is there a way or a keyboard shortcut to fix it? Thanks for your help

Anchor a group of texts in a text
I use Indesign 19.1. I have a group of texts that I need to anchor in the main text frame. As there is no anchor point on my group, I try to cut it and paste it where I need it to be anchored. I place my cursor where it should be, and paste, but nothing happens. So, I tried the same manipulation in Indesign 18.1 and it works. Can you tell me why it doesn't work anymore, and how can I anchor my group of texts. Is there another way?

Export or Save dialog box partially hangs if you go to another app's window.
When exporting to PDF or saving, if you go to another app or Finder window while the dialog box is open, it partially hangs. For example, if you've called up the Export box then hop over to Finder to verify the name/location of the folder to which you want to export, then go back to ID to complete the export. Everything that is normally blue ("save" "export," the name of the file, etc.), turns gray. You can click on it but nothing happens. You have to either cancel and close/reopen the document, or if you have unsaved changes, it hangs…

Indesign Version 19 - Still can't reorder parent pages via drag and drop or otherwise
Please fix this bug!! We used to be able to reorder the parent pages and for the last two versions it's impossible to do. This is necessary because parent pages can be used for elements that repeat throughout the document - like Appendixes. It would be nice to have them in order so that other designers will know what they're looking at! Thanks!
FYI - I believe this is only an issue on Mac. A coworker using a PC has no problem.

Transparency not working on Illustrator files
Using ID 19.1 and Illustrator 28.2 I'm no longer able to view transparency on imported Illustrator files. Toggling CPU or GPU or Overprint Preview selection doesn't help. Changing color profiles as suggested by a similar bug report in the past doesn't help either.
This issue only started in the past few days A recent Adobe update probably caused this since I haven't updated my OS recently.
Note: updating to MacOS 14.3 didn't fix issue. My machine is a 2019 iMac with Vega 48. Problem doesn't appear on 2017 iMac or an M1 Mac mini.

Export Interative PDF
The crash/error occurs when I export the interactive pdf with a little over 2000 pages at the almost end of the exporting process. so I downgraded the version of InDesign to 18v and now it works fine. Still, I have many files already made with updated indesign (19v).
I am a Mac OS user.
Please please fix this issue. I desperately need this to be fixed for my work.1 vote -

swatch / colour display bug IND 19.2 - not all swatches used are appearing in swatch panel
New update Indesign 19.2 swatches / colours in document not all appearing in swatches panel - you've always been able to easily delete a swatch in indesign and it'll delete everywhere if, for example, you paste something from another document and it brings in a conflicting colour, without having to use "find swatch" (which is great for finding where it's used but not as fast if you don't care where it is).
Yesterday I noticed not all swatches used are appearing however. A text box I had used a colour background that definitely isn't in swatches. I also noticed one…

Intervertir
Bonjour,
Il serait très utile d'avoir un raccourci (bouton ou raccourci clavier) pour réaliser cette action :
Intervertir l'emplacement de deux objets (un bloc de texte, une image, une forme...). L'objet A et B : L'objet A passe à la place de l'objet B et vise versa en cliquant sur un boutant. Ce bouton aurait tout son sens de figurer dans le volet "Alignement"
Merci pour votre réponse.1 vote -

overprinting a flat white color
I ask for a simple flag that allows any color - even white - to behave as an opaque spot color and also allows overprinting as is the case in screen printing or offset printing in special colours. This request is not a chimera, but a real need of enormous importance.

suggest uppercase accented characters as alternatives
Italian keyboards with accented characters, do not have any way of typing uppercase accented characters. Consequently, when CAPS LOCK is on, all characters will be uppercase except the accented characters. When selecting an accented character, I get the suggestion to use the alternate glyph (which is often like a small caps character). It would be useful to have the choice of the uppercase version of a character among the suggested alternate glyphs. I suppose this could work both ways for all characters: uppercase should be a choice of alternate glyph for all lowercase characters, and lowercase should be a choice…

I'm assigning a page label to a parent page using by script like
myParentPage=app.activeDocument.masterSpreads.itemByName("PRD-Products").pages[0];
myParentPage.insertLabel("page", "products");When I insert a new document page based on this parent page, the page label is NOT inherited but just empty.
