1. Adjust layout without resizing anchored objects

   With the Adjust Layout feature activated, if I resize the margins of a page or apply a master page with different margins, anchored objects on the page end up getting resized. I have even had some anchored objects disappear completely (although the anchors are still there). I want to be able to adjust the main text frame on a page to the new margins WITHOUT changing the anchored objects, which are part of the text flow and should not be changed.

   For example, in designing a book, I want to apply a certain master page to pages with chapter headings. But if there is an image or graphic anchored in the text below the chapter title, that will also get resized when the master page is applied. This is not what I want, and it creates a lot more work rather than making things easier. Could there be an option to leave anchored objects alone when adjusting the layout? Thank you.

2. Can't Rename Objects in Layers Panel on MacOS Big Sur

   Adobe Indesign 16.1, macOS Big Sur 11.2.3

   I cannot rename objects or layers in the layers panel. I've attached a video of the typical triple-click method and all you see is a quick flash of the editing mode but it is never actually able to be edited.

   Resolved For User  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

   Hello there,

   The way to rename in the Layers panel is to click once to highlight, then click again to rename.

   Please see the attachment on how it is to be done.

3. Colour Profile Reset Issue / Sync Adobe Indesign 16.1

   It is becoming a bit of a issue when after updating to 16.1. The colour Profile resets to this setting. Then again going to bridge to set up the original profile again. After a few hours, closing the program, it resets again.

4. Make Crop Marks always outside the Bleed

   People who don't understand bleed (and they are out there) leave the Marks Offset setting on default, which causes problems when they send their files out for printing.

   There is absolutely no situation or circumstance in which it is a good idea to have the Crop Marks inside the Bleed. Not one. Not Ever.

   So why do we have to adjust the Marks Offset when we change the Bleed ? Why is it not even offered as an option in the Preferences to set this automatically ?

   It's not just when exporting a PDF, but also when Printing, from InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop ...

   This should be easy to fix.

5. Option + drag and shift to contstrain keys not working

   InDesign 16.0.2

   The usual function of holding the option key on mac and dragging an object to duplicate has stopped working. In the same way, clicking shift when moving an object or drawing a frame no longer constrains it's dimensions.

   Both of these features still work fine in Illustrator (25.1)

   The attached video show me trying to draw a square by holding shift when drawing a shape but it doesn't constrain the proportions as it should. It also shows me then trying to duplicate the shape by holding option (mac) and dragging. The cursor changes to suggest that it's working but the shape doesn't duplicate.

   This is a BIG problem for productivity as these functions are key to the way I work.

6. cc library

   Hi!
   [Indesign 16.0.2, macbook with Catalina]
   The CC Library freezes and i can't click any colors or elements. It is not possible to scroll in the library or change library. The issue sometimes is resolved when I restart the program but often not. I had this issue with an earlier version of Indesign too.

   I'm using PSD files linked in my InDesign, they look blurry like low res even the fonts used in the PSD https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:4e60c8e1-8ba1-46f0-af66-23ef2b71ac21?view=published

8. InDesign Slow in MacOS Catalina when using a calibrated screen profile.

   I am an experienced user of Adobe products for over 20 years. My current subscription is to Adobe Creative Suite (full). I am using a Mac Pro running MacOS 10.15.7 (Catalina) on NVMe SSD with 48 GB RAM and AMD 5700 XT GPU with 8GB VRAM. All Adobe apps are up to date.

   If I use a calibrated screen profile, InDesign becomes extremely slow, so that every selection of a menu item, every key-press, every pan or drag, becomes incredibly slow.

   This fault is independent of document size (it happens with a new document, with one blank page). It is also consistently and instantly repeatable. To be clear on this: if I open System Preferences > Displays > Color and switch between a calibrated profile and the default "Apple RGB" InDesign switches between slow and fast respectively.

   I have changed InDesign preferences with no effect. I have also deleted caches, preferences and application support files in ~/Library, also with no effect. I have uninstalled InDesign and the whole Creative Suite completely, removing all trace from my system, and reinstalled them, also with no effect.

   This issue affects Adobe InDesign and Illustrator. It does not appear to affect Photoshop. It does not appear to affect products from other developers either (eg: Capture One Pro), therefore I believe the cause to be something with those two Adobe products.

   I would be grateful for a fix, or even to have your assurance that this is a known issue, and a solution is in the pipeline.

10. Printing a document with variable fonts garbles them

    (I sent test fonts to Josh Hadley at Adobe yesterday, i.e. Aktiv Grotesk VF)

    1. Select variable font from the menu (e.g. Aktiv Grotesk VF)
    2. Select world-ready composer
    3. Select a couple different instances from the drop-down or select an instance via the slider (e.g. Black, Bold, Regular, Light) and set some text in each
    4. Print the page from InDesign on a PostScript printer

    See the attached image. What should happen is that the repeating blocks of text should be set in the different instances you selected in step 3. They are replaced by a random font instead, only the first instance you set some text in gets printed properly.

    Platform: macOS Mojave 10.14.6
    App: Adobe InDesign CC 2020 version 15.1.3

11. Cross references rendered to big/wrong line break

    Text with cross references isn't rendered correctly. The line break is triggered far to early (see IDML and PNG) image.

    The line break works with the Adobe World-Ready Composers but not with the Classic Composers.

    I cannot use the World-Ready Composers because of the justified nonbreaking space see https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/41793187-bug-since-cs6-nonbreaking-space-s-issue-wit

    A test IDML file can be downloade here: https://cloud.publishingx.de/s/mMMkbxidwTiTfKR

    Please fix both bugs!

13. Endnotes are tagged incorrectly when exporting to Accessible PDF from InDesign 2021

    In InDesign 2021, endnotes are not nested inside of a <Note> tag like they should be. Now only the Endnote number is in a <Note> tag and everything else is in a <P> tag. Normal behavior is to put each Endnote in its entirety within a <Note> tag. In addition, for several versions Endnotes and Footnotes are in a <Note> tag but then there's a <P> tag within the <Note> tag. The <P> tag is unnecessary and causes an error when trying to validate Accessible PDF. Please remove the <P> tag within <Note> tags when exporting to tagged PDF.

16. Underline disappears when paragraph shading is used I have a paragraph style for text that needs shading and a character style for text wit

    Underline disappears when paragraph shading is used

    I have a paragraph style for text that needs shading and a character style for text with a hyperlink. The underline disappeares when shading is used. This happens when the height of the shading of the next used paragraph style is touching the underline in the previous paragraph.

    The text remains on top so I would expect that the underline (which is part of the text, in my opinion) should also stay on top.
    Strikethrough is not being affected in this way so I use this as a workaround.

    Latest version of InDesign is used (always up-to-date ;-)
