1. InDesign is still unusably slow

   Despite many many threads about this, I cannot find an answer that solves this issue. I am getting a spinning wheel on almost every action I perform in InDesign. It spins for around 10 seconds and then is good until I do anything else. It is incredibly frustrating.

   I am running InDesign 16.3.2 a part of Adobe CC 2021.
   I am on a 2018 MacBook Pro, running Big Sur 11.4
   32 GB Ram
   2.9GHz i9 Processor

   I have tried a bunch of 'answers' from previous threads but none seem to work. Please help!

2. Alt text of vector graphics not showing in Acrobat

   Alt text of vector graphics not showing in Acrobat (mouse over)

   When exporting documents with placed .ai or .eps the alt text on mouse over isn't showing in Acrobat.
   The alt text does show up when inspecting Tags, though.

3. space bar short cut for Hand tool NOT WORKING

   usually when I have problem in one Adobe product, it is the same problem in all (Illustrator and Photoshop)... when it goes away in one, it goes away in all. Something is triggering it, but I can't reproduce it at will... just sucks when it happens

4. Hyperlink shifts when replacing preceding characters

   If I replace a character in front of a hyperlink with multiple characters using Find/Change, the hyperlink shifts.

   (See screeshot: before and after)

   If only one character is replaced, no shift occurs. Tested with InDesign CS6, 2020 and 2021, MacOS.

   Here you can find a test document:

5. Variable Fonts: Align Stroke to Center shows overlaps

   When using variable fonts, the Align Stroke to Center shows the overlaps in letters with live text (not good). If I use Align Stroke to Outside the overlaps arenʻt shown with live text (good) but once I use Type > Create Outlines the overlaps are shown (not good).

   This happens in many variable fonts, for example Source Code VF Concept (see screenshot attached), but also true with my own variable fonts and those from other type foundries.

   With the non-variable font version, the Stroke looks good in all settings mentioned here. The variable font version should look the same. Thank you!

6. auto page numbering does not work with auto-size text box

   The auto-sizing text box should resize depending on number and not the 'marker character'
   I'm pretty sure it used to work that way.

7. Adobe InDesign Server 2021 has stopped working

   With some documents to be (automatically) processed by Indesign Server, InDesign Server stops working - and we get the Windows message "Adobe InDesign Server 2021 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program".

   As after a while our automatic system is picking up the same (possibly questionable) document again, we end up with a system where all InDesign Server instances are hanging, and no further processing happens (until a human being goes to the server and clicks the messages away).

   The issue here is not that the possibly questionable document cannot be processed properly - the issue is that a server process is showing a dialog, as opposed to just aborting execution or even crashing fully (which we could then handle programmatically).

   Long story short: why is InDesign Server, launched from the command line, ever showing a dialog?

10. Read Only - Save Issue - Indesign 16.1 05/05/21 Update

    Indesign is very again now very Sluggish. But getting very annoying Read Only Save issues when working with Books and single files over a network. Only remedy is to save to Desktop and replace files. This is potentially very dangerous and could create very expensive mistakes.

    CLOSED  ·  AdminSanyam Talwar (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

    To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received an email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.

    We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding: Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

    We recommend you upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2023(v18.2.1.455) as it is more robust and contains a lot of bug fixes.

    We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

13. turn off Touch workspace!

    Can Adobe PLEASE stop making the Touch workspace compulsory every time the app launches. Not all users want this. We didn't ask Adobe to turn off our usual interface and replace it with a Touch version.

    When we have to go through the mandatory 'hey this is new examples' EVERY TIME just to get into the app, only to have to turn it off by choosing "essentials" (top right) EVERY TIME we launch the app, it becomes a major pain.

    Who on earth at Adobe throught this would be a good idea? Surely this is just a bug? Why isn't it fixed yet?

15. Command + N doesn't work for New Document

    For some unknown reason CMD + N has stopped working as a shortcut for a new document. In the File menu, it says it's programmed as a shortcut, but it doesn't work. I reset the shortcut and it temporarily works. If I open INDD and reset the shortcut, then it'll work when I use it. But if I close INDD and then try Cmd +N, it won't work. I've reset it numerous times. I've lost count of how many times INDD has updated. And nothing fixes this problem.

    Currently working on the latest version of INDD (16.1). This problem has been persistent for many versions though.

19. Applying a different swatch not always working (bug?)

    It happens every now and then that changing the color of text by selecting the text with the text tool and clicking on the desired swatch does not change anyting. You can select the desired color, but the text color stays the same. It does not seem to be document related and is not always happening. If you use the color picker to select a random color from the document, the problem disappears. You can find more comments and examples on this issue in the Support Community: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/can-t-change-colors-from-the-swatch-panel/m-p/11859690
    At this moment I am running ID CC 16.1 on a fully updated 'heavy duty' Windows 10 pc of 2 years old. I cannot reproduce the issue at the moment, because it does not happen all the time and I am currently not experiencing problems (a few days ago I did though, but had no time for posting).

20. Certain overrides on Objects Styles do not hold when synchronizing Book

    Overrides on Objects Styles when synchronizing.

    Object styles: I have all the overrides (that I tested, such as background color, type of stroke) holding, BUT the XY coordinate. (position of the object on the page)

    When I hit sync, all the overrides hold, including the size of the object (which is in the same Style menu), but not the Position. This means all the objects with the Style on it jump to their default position, resulting in a bad mess.

    My imperfect solution is to remove the XY position from the Object Styles — I want to be able to sync, but can we please fix this?

    I tested this in cc20 and cc 21
