2. Screen Draws Bizarre Patterns

   This has been happening for the past several versions. Im using ID 2023 on a 27" 2019 31. Mhz iMac with 64GB. It runs a Raedon Pro 575X 4GB.

   While I am moving the document, sometimes these bizarre dark patterns form. Sometimes it happens when just an item is moved on the document. But it appears to be random. Scrolling off the page and back onto it seems to solve it.

   This only happens in InDesign. None of the other Adobe apps or other graphic apps have this issue. So it leads me to believe it is not the video card, but one specific program.

   I also own an M1 Mac Mini which runs the exact same software...but has no such issues. I keep hoping an update will fix this but it remains for the past two years...

3. Converted linked InDesign document saved in last used folder, not folder where it lives

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Have an InDesign document with a linked InDesign document. That linked document is saved by an older version.
   2. Open linked document by Alt-double clicking.
   3. Save file. You are now presented with the last used folder, not the folder that the linked document lives in.

   This USED to work fine.

4. eyedropper still not picking up font type style weight -- adds a stroke to outside or color to the text box.

   eyedropper not picking up font or style; it picks up color sometimes & stroke sometimes. it is glitchy to the max. unstable, unreliable. USED TO WORK. a long time ago...in a land far, far away.

   It generally succeeds picking up object styles. otherwise BIG FAIL regarding fonts, font colors, font weight. it misses completely.

5. Multiple copy paste functions

   I have been using the Indesign program for a long time. He has made very good progress. This is what I expect from you. We can only paste one copy with the copy paste command. It would be great if it could copy multiple texts separately. For example, when copy-pasting 3 or 5 different texts, you need to do each one by one. It would be much more practical if we could copy them all and name them like copy 1 copy 2 copy 3 and paste 1 paste 2 paste 3 options while pasting. I wish you good luck in your work. Halil Ermis

6. Ghost hyperlinks can't be fixed

   With placed Word text, I often have 'ghost hyperlinks', meaning I need there's no active hyperlink in the text but I'm not allowed to select that text and add a hyperlink – 'New hyperlink' is greyed out.

   Double-clicking the paragraph inspires this message: "all corrupt hyperlinks in the selected text have been removed," but I'm still unable to add a hyperlink. The only fix I've found is to cut the text, paste it in another app, copy and re-paste it into ID as fresh 'uncorrupted' text.

   Cutting all relevant paragraphs makes ID crash.

   Of course this is a real hassle, so Adobe, please fix this issue.

7. macOS menu bar covers InDesign title bar (multi-screen setup)

   When running multiple screens connected to my MacBook Pro (14-inch, M1 Pro), InDesign's title bar will frequently get stuck under the macOS menu bar on the built-in screen, making it impossible to move the window either to another screen or within the built-in screen. I have to arrange the screens so the built-in screen is slightly above the others (even though it's below them physically) to get the title bar visible so I can move it.

   Interestingly, this phenomenon only occurs on the built-in screen. It's likely that InDesign doesn't know how to handle the macOS menu bar being taller (about 72 pixels instead of, what, 48?) and wrapping around the camera notch, so it doesn't respect the menu bar as a border.

8. Paragraph Border rendering is filled in black -- randomly.

   For two years now, paragraphs with double lines and a fill between the lines render as solid black randomly when building PDF output for printing. It's usually the first paragraph border that is rendered incorrectly, and if the PDF is recreated again and again, eventually an error-free PDF is produced.

   See attached screencap.

   All versions of InDesign, including the latest as of March 28 2023.

9. Why is it so hard to handle type on a path in InDesign?

   Why is it so hard to handle type on a path in InDesign?
   At present is it clumsy, inarticulate and frequently unresponsive. You often can't select the path the type sits on.
   As an example, try putting type on a circle. It is hard to centre and only sits at the top. It's quite common to want type on the bottom of a circle too, especially if you are creating a sort of stamp design.
   In the old days of Freehand, which you own, all you had to do was specify centre, type away, and for text on the bottom just hit carriage return and type the lower text. Job done in moments. How could you not incorporate this ease of use into InDesign? Currently you have to create an entirely new path that sits on top of the old one and spend an age trying to adjust where they type now sits and hope it all fits when you have finally had just about enough of it.
   You have made it so awkward you can almost lose the will to live trying this simple exercise. Seriously, how hard can it be to simplify this?
   Freehand is an obsolete programme which runs rings around you in certain areas. Please look at this.

11. Toolbars and palettes missing on startup

    Since upgrading to Ventura I have no toolbars or palettes – the whole workspace in effect – every time I open InDesign. I can always get them back by switching to a different workspace and back but this happens every time I reopen it.

    I have reset preferences and caches, reinstalled the software and removed plugins but nothing works.

12. Workspace not loading on open in 2023

    So, today's thing that's broken is when I boot up indesign for the first time of the day all my panels and toolbars are missing. Selecting my workspace doesn't bring them back, I have to select a different workspace, then select mine to bring them back. Does anyone at adobe actually care about Indesign any more? This app has been riddled with bugs now for around 4 years - stuff that's been flagged up years ago still not fixed, like the graphics streaking across the page causing objects to disappear for example

13. Scrollbar is hidden upon defocusing the InDesign window

    Upon defocusing the InDesing window, the scrollbar disappears.

    This issue is creating usability problems - working on 2 monitors, clicking on the other monitor to grab some image or text, then trying to return to InDesign by clicking the scrollbar to scroll to the desired position does not work. Instead, randomly clicking the empty scrollbar randomly scrolls to the left or to the right.
    Whoever had the idea to hide the scrollbars had a very bad decision. None of known apps are hiding the scrollbar upon defocus, also, hiding the scrollbar has absolutely no benefits, just drawbacks.
    Please stop hiding the scrollbars when defocusing the main window. Lots of users actually want to return to an app by immediately dragging the scrollbar.

16. email QR Codes don't work with MATMSG formatting

    InDesign 18.1 on Mac OS 13.2.1 Ventura - Data merge for email QR codes specifically doesn't work, and your documentation is frankly non-existent. Using the MATMSG format doesn't produce a working QR with Data Merge, but using HTML format mailto in Plain Text does. I'm sure I'll run into the wrong version VCARD problem soon, too.

    This is consistent using the MATMSG format in a .csv with data Merge. Using the manual entry isn't a workable option due to the quantity of codes being generated.

18. Add transparency option to paragraph shading

    Paragraph shading is super nice, but a lot of people would like to have them a little transparent over images. I know there is a option for overprinting, but this also change the color and is not a real transparency. Without this option it has to be done manually on each element.

    So please add this additional feature to the settings. Thx
