Very slow screen response with Mac OS Monterey
Since upgrading to an Apple Silicon Mac running Monterey OS with a Dell 4K screen, Indesign has become sluggish when scrolling through documents, especially those with placed images.
Also, if I highlight text and make a change to the formatting (make it Bold, for instance, or apply a different paragraph format) the change does not appear until I deselect the text. It will show up correctly before I deselect the text sometimes, but more often than not it doesn't.

Cannot open certain files
I recently installed InDesign 2023. Now I can't open a lot of files through DropBox. InDesign simply does nothing (no error code or spinning wheel, etc., just... nothing). So far the only fix is to download it to my hard drive, but since these are team documents that isn't a good solution. Help?

Changing the width of a line changes its y position
No object styles are applied in this example.
Expectation: When adjusting the length of a line, it's position should remain unchanged.
What happens:
When I adjust the length of a stroked line by entering a new width in the Length property, its Y position decreases by 0.5pt/equivalent.
When I adjust the x position by nudging with the Right or Left Arrow key, both the y position decreases by 0.5pt.
If the stroked line is grouped and aligned to other objects, the y position of the line decreases by 0.5pt regardless of its position/alignment within the group.

Table Fault
Please, please, resolve this.
- Indesign version 18 (2023)
- Issue: Create a two column text frame, or as many you want, and fill with text. For illustration purposes, create a table in the middle of the text frame. Span the table across both columns. Exaggerate the table spacing, to 25 pts before and after.
- Expected Result: The text in both columns of the text frame, in accordance with the table spacing, should be (i) equal on both sides of the two columns (ii) the text flow before the table should stop, and the text should continue again after the table. The…

Windows Warning Beep
UPDATE: I've narrowed down the problem to the Exclamation Program Event in Windows Sound. With that set to (None), the beeping no longer occurs.
When I go into inDesign, I go to any window and I hear Windows warning beeps non-stop, like I'm doing something inDesign doesn't like. If I go into Pages or Layers, they cause no issue. If I go into Preferences or Margins and Columns, then I get the beeping.
I am using Windows 10 with the latest updates.
I haven't used inDesign within the last few months, and it wasn't do it then. I used the…1 vote -
moved graphics still visible.
V.18 has to be the buggiest version of ID ever released, and I used Pagemaker before I used ID... Any file I've worked on leaves the graphic slightly visible when I move it, flashing in and out of view. People must be having seizures over this. It also happens with type. If I delete type, and then click off the text box, the text box flashes the old type back where it was for a fraction of a second, complete with rewrap, and it all takes time for things that ought to be mindless. I can't figure out how to…

Pasting Word tracked changes text keeps the old text as well as changes
When 'Text Only' is selected in Preferences/Clipboard Handling, pasting from a Word doc that has tracked changes results in the old edits (such as deletions) being retained in the pasted text in InDesign.
If this isn't a bug, perhaps there's a way to make these ramifications more obvious to the user.

UK spell check not recognising US spellings as incorrect
UK spell check not recognising US spellings as incorrect.
e.g the word 'customize' appears in the story. In UK English this would be 'customise'. The spell checker should recognise this as incorrect, but does not.
Spell check language has been set to UK English.

doc.distribute (doc.pages.everyItem(), DistributeOptions.HORIZONTAL_SPACE, true, 0)
RESULT:

Bug report: Incopy idml files does not show up in assignments palette
Indesign - Incopy
I can’t handle multiple idml files in the assignment palette/InDesign.
It could be related to system update installation - the problem appeared right after installing MacOs Ventura.
I can only drag one or two - not three or more - text objects into Incopy assignments in a Indesign document. It produces idml-files, but they are not shown in the assignments palette. Editing ‘Add all stories to assignment’ does not work either.
Does anybody have an idea what I can do to solve it or I have to wait for a bug fix? Screendump example uploaded.

Won't let me scale gradient panel up/down
Indesign won't allow me to scale the gradient panel up or down, it is stuck at a constant size which makes it hard/impossible to work with complicated gradients. The issue doesn't appear to be on any other panel that i'm using.

Indesign 2023 does not use your working space
I found out when making pdfs of black only images. It was making them 4c images which is wrong. I checked my color settings which were correct. The work around is to click assign profile and select your current working space. I tried the same layouts in 2022 and it worked just fine.

"Büyük/Küçük Harf Değiştir"
Sayın Adobe Yetkilisi,
ÖNERİ:
"Karakter stilleri" ve Paragraf stilleri" ayarlarında, "Büyük/Küçük Harf Değiştir" seçenekleri olmalı. Stillere verebileceğimiz "Büyük/Küçük Harf Değiştir" ayarları ile işimiz daha da kolaylaşacak.
Teşekkürler, iyi çalışmalar...

Keep scroll position in Pages Panel
In Pages Panel I scroll to a position so I can select a small range of pages (both ends of selection is visible in the Panel), I switch focus to another document, afterwards when return to edit the original document the Pages Panel scroll position is not where I left it, it is scrolled away so only the first page of my selection is visible at the bottom.
Please leave Pages scroll where it was when refocusing to a document.1 vote -
URL Hyperlinks not working
I am working on MacOS Ventura (brand-new update, November 9 2022) in the most up-to-date version of InDesign. Had the same problem on the latest Mac system as well.
My hyperlinks are trying to "link to destination" and won't open, even though I have unchecked "Shared Hyperlink Destination" and have "link to URL" selected. See screenshot for the popup shown by Acrobat when you try to click the link.
I have tried everything, no clue what to do. Please help.
