inDesign 18.3.0.50 often impossible to save document
inDesign 18.3.0.50 often impossible to save document. Very annoying because to continue I'm forced to close the file / application and therefore I lose all the changes.

Package-PDF and Export-PDF create different results
Mac OS Monterey 12.6 / Adobe InDesign 18.3
Function "Create Package" with a PDF and selected job.options (PDF Presets) creates PDF with wrong downsampling for images.
Function "Export PDF" with same PDF Preset creates PDF with expected quality
Why is there a difference?

Drop Cap size, is based on next character
Indesign 2023 Hebrew Version
Macbook Pro M1When i create a drop cap, the size of the drop cap is changing based on the next character after the drop cap, it only happens when the leading is fixed, when the leading is auto, it just moves up and down based on the size of the next character.

Line Jumps by Half its Stroke Weight in InDesign CC (Version 18.3)
In InDesign CC (Version 18.3), there is a persistent bug where a line jumps unexpectedly by half its stroke weight when attempting to change its length. This issue has been present for some time and occurs consistently. Enabling or disabling the scaling options in the settings does not have any effect on this behavior.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open InDesign CC (Version 18.3) on the affected system.
2. Create a new document page or open an existing document.
3. Draw a line with any length and stroke weight.
4. Select the line to edit it.
5. Try to change the…2 votes -

Fit Frame to Content multicolumn text frame
InDesign 18.3 but has been doing this for many years.
Draw a single column text frame next to a multicolumn text frame, have the same number of lines in both frames, apply Fit Frame to Content with any method to both frames, they will most likely not be the same height. You can change the width of the multicolumn frame and then Fit Frame to Content might get closer.
Should be the same height if all text styling is the same.
Variable height on the multicolumn frame, doing Fit Frame to Content a few times and can change it each…

Adjust Layout Moves Locked Guides when "Adjust Locked Content" Option is Disabled
Locked guides that overlap the page margins move when using Adjust Layout while "Adjust Locked Content" is unchecked.
Expected behavior: Locked guides shouldn't move when using Adjust Layout unless "Adjust Locked Content" is checked. Unlocked guides should move regardless of the option being checked.
Steps to reproduce:
Add ruler guides to a page that overlap the page margins
Lock guides "View > Grids & Guides > Lock Guides"
Open "Layout > Margins & Columns"
Enable "Adjust Layout" and uncheck "Adjust Locked Content"
Increase or decrease the size of a margin that overlaps the guideI haven't found any workaround for…

Unable to relink more than one image at a time
Cannot relink more than one image at a time in InDesign 18.2.1 (2023) even when "search for missing links in this folder" box is ticked. Therefore I have to import each image individually, which is time consuming. Has anyone else come across this annoying problem at all?

comments
Review comments should stay with the original site where they were left when I sort them in a new way. Not obvious? Now comment on page 1 will stay with page 1, even if the site moved to the end. that is confusing.

Overprint white text when color changed in stylesheet
When changing color to 'Paper' on a selected text – it automatically is set to not overprint (correct behaviour).
However if you change the color in a stylesheet, from a color with overprint, to 'Paper'. It will remain on overprint.
Also the checkbox gets greyed out. So to fix it you must choose another color, uncheck overprint, then go back to 'Paper'.InDesign 18.2.1

Adobe InDesign list panels unusable + Mouse click outside InDesign window not working.
After I type any value by keyboard entering on a dialogue box (like font size, transparency, color tone, font spacing etc), all InDesign list panels become unusable: list elements (swatches, fonts etc) slip away from mouse selection like they were anchored to cursor.
In the video:
1. two panels working correctly (not important which panels, the issue appears on ANY panel);
2. typing of a random value on a random box (not important which box, the issue appears after ANY keyboard entering on ANY box);
3. the same panels not working anymore (in the video I am only moving the…2 votes -

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…

Converted linked InDesign document saved in last used folder, not folder where it lives
Steps to reproduce:
- Have an InDesign document with a linked InDesign document. That linked document is saved by an older version.
- Open linked document by Alt-double clicking.
- 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.

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.
