1. InDesign lags MacOS Catalina when using a screen profile other than sRGB

   Reminder for Adobe not to forget this bug.
   As described here:
   https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/42272869-indesign-slow-in-macos-catalina-when-using-a-calib

   and here:
   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/inddesign-2020-slow-performance-on-macos-catalina-10-15-1/m-p/11031304

   Attached a screen capture of a very simple InDesign document showing the lag when changing the profile of the monitor to anything else than sRGB – even AdobeRGB doesn't work.

2. Weird Bug with Resize to Frame

   Resize frame to content messes up and I'm not sure if it's something to do with a setting I have set since this doesn't always happen.

   Basically, I'll have a frame around some content with text in it.

   When I hit "resize frame to content" ctrl-alt-c, it resizes the frame to the full document width, which looks like the example.

   I obviously expect the frame to resize to the content, not to be super wide like the entire document.

3. Unknown character inserted before hyphen in PDF export

   InDesign v16.1

   We have an InDesign file where the word "papier" is hyphenised by InDesign in this way "pa-pier", but after exporting in PDF, an unknown character was inserted before the hyphen and is shown as the letter "u" overlapping a displaced hyphen. Copy/pasting the word from the PDF gives this: pa�-pier

   If the PDF is exported again, the problem is not reproduced.

4. Transparent PNG Export generates dark lines in the half transparent shadow regions

   InDesign 16.2.1

   Trying to export transparent PNG files from InDesign from a page with a transparent PSD source, results in PNG files with dark lines in the shadow region of the exported png.

   When deselect or select the "simulate overprinting" checkbox before export, the lines may disappear and the exported png is as expected.

5. Paragraph Styles panel

   In InDesign v 16.1 the Paragraph Styles panel is not showing any paragraph styles at all. I have tried creating new styles, saving them and they also don't show up. I have tried opening different files, where I know I have Paragraph Styles and it's still not working. Character Styles (most of which are nested in Paragraph Styles) on the other hand are displaying properly. I have tried resizing the panel, as suggested by another user, but no matter the size, nothing displays in the body of the panel.

   If I open these same files in InDesign 15.1.3 the paragraph styles display without any issue.

   I am not "posting an idea" as the button on this page suggests, but an actual bug that is preventing me from using InDesign and getting my work done.

7. Window size and position is forgotten

   Even though another entry entitled "InDesign in Windows ALWAYS forgets app size and position!" is marked as "Fixed/Solved" elsewhere in these pages, the issue is not fixed. In fact, it is more persistent in the latest 16.2.1 "update"... plus, ID crashes way more often now as well... I know this is another issue but for me when InDesign does not work as advertised, the whole thing –crashes, window size and position– is ONE issue: Adobe InDesign is buggy, more than ever, period.

8. Endnotes remain editable when parent story is locked

   InDesign versions 14, 15, & 16

   An endnote should be locked for editing if its parent story is checked out.

   Currently, endnotes can be edited in InDesign even if the parent story is locked (if it's being edited in InCopy, for example). This can create a situation where content can be lost without any warning. When the link is updated in InDesign, InCopy's endnotes "win" and overwrite any changes that were made in InDesign (see attached 1_conflict.png).

   Worse, an endnote can be removed while its parent story is checked out. The endnote marker is removed even though the parent story is locked. Updating the link will then actually provide a "changes will be lost" alert, but only because removing the endnote modified the locked(!) parent story.

9. Endnotes user content can leak into the main story

   InDesign/InCopy 2021 16.x

   Editing a story with InCopy shouldn't cause user-entered extra endnote content to leak into the main story.

   The first character of user content directly after the terminating endnote marker (so in the same paragraph as the terminating endnote marker) can leak into the main story when the story's link is updated.

   The attached screenshot (leakedtext.png) shows Story A (Id1), which has some user content directly after each endnote, being exported to and viewed in InCopy (Ic), where an X, Y, and Z have found their way from the endnotes into the main story during the opening of the ICML file. The same X, Y, & Z appear in the main story of the InDesign document (Id2) after updating from the ICML file.

10. packaged files not preserving paths

    In latest release of Adobe InDesign 16.2.1 for Mac 10.14.6, an issue occurred when updating a file PACKAGED from an earlier version of InDesign.

    Issue was:
    Document contained tifs and jpgs that contained work paths. In original document, work paths had been used to clip the images.
    However, when document was PACKAGED and then opened in ID16.2.1, the paths have not been preserved. They are still in the photoshop file and can be updated by replacing or relinking the image and showing image options to apply the path information, but this is potentially a catastrophic issue for providers like ourselves who have never seen the artwork before and have no point of comparision between clients expectations vs how the file opened on our machines.

    Worth noting that files were packaged with IDML files that did not feature this bug.

    Another issue complicating matters was that the packaged file that we received (not necessarily packaged like this) had an .idlk file supplied as well, so may be original operator error.

11. "Share for Review" lost for documents accessed via UNC paths

    Indesign 16.2.1 won't maintain the link between the indesign document (on a server) and the "Shared for Review" online file if the Indesign document was opened via a UNC path when you make the "share for review" link.

13. Linked PDF images not exporting to PDF correctly

    InDesign (16.2.1), Windows 10

    Logos saved as PDFs and placed in an InDesign file appear with a gray vertical line on the right side of the image frame when the file is converted to PDF. There is no stroke or fill on the image frame; further, I checked a PDF with the same PDF logo in it that I created a month ago and it did not have the line. The line appears when the PDF is printed.

    We found that reverting back to v16.1 resolved the issue. Also, relinking a JPG or TIF of the logo worked in 16.2.1, but obviously less efficient.

14. New Bug Indesign 16.2.1 | Contours conversion error (inside/outside aligned)

    This bug seems to only affect older InDesign documents and graphic elements from them that were created before the update to 16.2.1. The bug can NOT be reproduced in completely new 16.2.1 documents with newly created elements!

    What happens:
    For example, if you create a circle with the dimensions 200X200mm and a 10mm thick outline, this results in a circle with the dimensions
    210X210mm

    But if you now change the contour orientation from center to inside, the dimensions change unproportionally in height:

    Instead of 200 x 200 mm the circle becomes quasi
    an "egg" 200 x 199.999 mm

    If you now set the contour to 8mm, the element becomes proportional again.
    However: if the contour orientation is now changed again from
    "Aligned inside" to "Aligned outside", a conversion error happens again.

    Instead of the dimensions 216 x 216 mm
    the dimensions are now 216 x 215.999 mm.

    In these cases, the dimensions cannot be corrected by direct input in the control palette or by clicking on the arrow keys!!!!!

    If you enter 216 mm via direct input, 215.999 mm stubbornly appears.
    If you click on the arrow keys, nothing happens in the height value! But if you change the width value now, if you have coupled the proportions (by means of the lock)
    from 216 mm
    to 216.001 mm
    and with each desperate click further 216.002 mm;
    and further. ...,003/...,004 !!!!

    Very very annoying!!!!!!!! We are the BORG! Resistance is futile!

    ATTENTION.
    This rounding error also occurs with proportional scaling with the selection tool and can be transported via copy and paste even into completely new created InDesign(16.2.1) documents. Great. Or!?

    As I said: In newly created documents with newly created graphics in Indesign 16.2.1 the bug cannot be reproduced. At least not so far ...

    Unfortunately, this means for already existing documents from previous Indesign versions, - also because the bug can be scaled - , watch out like ****!

    Keep your nerves! Even if it is colossally annoying!!!

    Well! At least the other contour bug is fixed now.
    Instead we have a new one!

    Really super ...
    is not this!

15. BUG : Red panels and shifted elements

    It appears randomly, often when I open a second ID file, the first opened get some red panels and all the elements are shifted.
    The only way to solve this for now is to close the document and reopen it.

    Here is the link to the ticket on Adobe Support Community I made earlier (it contains a video showing what is happening) : https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/indesign-v-16-2-1-display-bug-shifted-elements/m-p/12053732#M430155
