zoom with touchpad windows
I would like you to make it possible to zoom with the fingers on the touchpad in Windows. It works in illustrator, but not in Indesign, at a PC, in Windows (only on Mac). Could you make this possible? It gives so much better control over the working process

Running very slow
InDesign CC 2023: no matter what settings (I.e. how many times I change the display performance to fast or turn off a lot of features) there is still a 5-7 second delay on every single keystroke, every cursor movement, every selection, etc. etc. That is, if it doesn't just freeze altogether. My document is only 21 pages with minimal text and the images shouldn't be displayed at full resolution anyway, so there's no reason it should be this laggy. No other adobe program has this problem for me at the moment. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, that didn't work.…

Display issue
Lines and slightly shifted objects. When I scroll up and down theses lines disappear and reappear elsewhere (=> screenshots 2 and 2B). Since the update to CC 2023, these display errors only appear in Indesign, not in other programs.

Absurd translation of the word "spread" in Czech UI
Please correct the absurd translation of the “spread” on the Effects window. In this context, you cannot translate it as “dvojstránky” (= two pages) but rather “rozšíření” – in InDesign CS6 the translation is correct.
Please note that in some languages one word can have multiple meanings. For example, in Czech we have one word for month and moon. The words are not interchangeable, you can’t say “the moon of July” in English. But this is exactly how you translate the aformentioned expression!
It is the same with the word spread in English, it has multiple meanings and cannot be translated…
4 votesOur translator proposed "Šíření" as the new translation.
Would like to know if we should go ahead & make this change.
Pl. let us know.

masterSpread.primaryTextFrame can't be set in jsx
See: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/create-primarytextframe/m-p/13362907#M503701
The primaryTextFrame property under masterSpread doesn't seem to work. If there is an existing PTF on the spread, then mySpread.primaryTextFrame.isValid resolves as true, but it cannot be set to NothingEnum.NOTHING/null, and a non-PTF on the spread cannot be assigned to mySpread.primaryTextFrame.

Major delay when changing page via the page up/down or double-clicking on the page icon
Major delay when changing page via the page up/down or double-clicking on the page icon. Usually happens when you have first opened a document. For example when you apply the keyboard command Opt-Pagedown, the icon on the bottom left of the screen immediately shows the page has changed but nothing happens. Sometimes it wont redraw the new page until you click on the screen and this only works after some time has passed (approx 6-8 seconds after). This was always instant in previous versions. My settings for view are on >Typical and I have Type Contextual Control set to >OFF.

InDesign 2023 Find/Replace is broken
In InDesign 2023 Find/Replace, page views don't update correctly with subsequent Find or Find/Change clicks and I couldn't see where I was. This only happened on my 2012 mac mini. On a 2013 model that I use at work, it worked fine. I had to go back to the previous version on both computers so they'd be able to open the same files.

Upon adding pages Share for Review comments and pins are mapped incorrectly.
We have a 100+ page user guide that was marked up with many comments. All of these were mapped correctly. Upon introducing 6 new pages (3 spreads) early in the document all of the comments are now mapped 3 spreads out of sync. Removing the 3 spreads did not resolve the issue and now our comments are all mapped to the wrong pages. This is strange as I really would imaging that comments are mapped to specific object ID's rather than a 'physical location'.

InDesign 18.0 (2023): still having issue where certain weights of fonts won't load/work (other weights/styles in the family do work).
The only way I've been able to solve this is to revert to version 17.1 (had same issue with 17.2).

thumbnail publish online
Publish online thumbnails extend off the right hand side of the browser window and cover the button for forward navigation through the thumbails. This means that the only way to navigate to the desired page is by clicking through page by page, or by resizing the browser window and clicking quickly before the thumbnails have time to respond and cover the button.
I don't know if this is a bug since it's my first time using publish online but if it isn't, there certainly needs to be a better way to navigate through a long document, like a book. For…

InDesign window defaults fullscreen after escaping presentation mode
When entering presentation mode (shift+w), and then escape, InDesign windows becomes fullscreen.
When I come out of presentation view the window size gets forgotten and automatically becomes the size of my entire screen (very annoying to keep having to resize the window all the time, completely disrupts my work flow) It even cuts off the bottom tool bar, which I use a lot.
I have an M1 Macbook, Indeisgn 17.4
I have previously posted this and told that the issue was fixed. I followed all instructions and the issue is still there.

Table of Contents Entry Character Styles
Table of contents entries (subheading styles in chapters) has a character style applied to it. When I generate TOC, the character styles and anchor markers if any also shows up in generated Table Of Contents. There should be an option to bypass the anchor markers and Character styles. Instead there should be an option given to add a new char style to the TOC entries, like there is for page no and between entry and page no.
In attached file the underline is getting generated everytime I update the TOC. I have to manually remove the underline. Neither GREP style…4 votes -

Object Styles within Object Style Groups cannot be set to Document.pageItemDefaults (Scripting)
See this thread in community forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/script-cannot-set-an-object-style-as-a-default-frame-style-if-this-style-is-inside-a-folder/td-p/13062809
If an object style is within a group, it cannot be assigned as the appliedTextObjectStyle in Document.pageItemDefaults. Have not checked whether the same is true for appliedGraphicObjectStyle

appliedLanguage property of text-related objects returns language from application, not document
When I do configuration for a language in a document, such as setting doubleQuotes, this language can be found in the document object's list of languages and has a different id than the language with the same name in the application object's list.
But when I access text inside the document – regardless what I inspect, paragraph, words, character, textStyleRange – I expect to get the language properties as set in the document, but instead I get those as set in the app.
I believe this to be a software bug.
More information as well as a workaround can be…

Can't Click/Drag Large Area of Main Title Bar
This was introduced in 17.0 and I was hoping it would be fixed by 17.3 but it hasn't been addressed.
Large areas of the title bar can't be clicked on/interacted with so one can't drag/move the main program window.
I'd say about 50% of the title bar is like this.

Khmer Line-Breaking Regression Bug
While much has been fixed, the current version of InDesign 2022 still line-breaks Khmer words/punctuation incorrectly (this used to work in InDesign 5.5 but has been broken since CS 6).
Here are some sample words/puncuation that break incorrectly (many are names):
យេស៊ូវ
អ៊ីស្រាអែល
គ្រីស្ទ
«...ទោះ
ជាម្ចាស់
អាន់ទីយ៉ូក
ៗ (this should stay with the previous word not break on to its own line)
អាកំណា
គ្រីស្ទបរិស័ទ
បន្សុស
ខគម្ពីរ
បូគោ
... (should stay together and stay with previous word like in English)
បូគោ
ឰយុកោEasiest way to fix this is don't break a line unless there is a zero-width space (U+200B) or a…

72 DPI images not placing at 100%, scaling to 216 DPI
This has apparently been a discussion since at least 2019 and has not yet found a solution:
When placing certain jpg images saved to 72 DPI, In Design frequently places them at 1/3 actual size, or down to 216 DPI. This is including if the ID document's increments/document size are set to pixels. It seems most common with jpgs saved in a standard "Save As" format from Photoshop vs. the legacy "Save for Web."
- Versions 14.02 to 17.1 - Edit - issue continues after update to 17.2.1.
- Steps to reproduce: place a jpg image saved to 72 dpi resolution
