Pop ups fail
Hi, I have Id cc 13.0.1 by Adobe Creative Cloud. When I double clic on an indd file all pop up menus from differents windows don't work, I can choose (e.g. vertical alignment from framework option or multiply from effects) but the original option remains. If I open the app first and the file later it works perfectly.
Hope this helps. Bye!1 vote -

FIle extension should NOT be highlighted in the Save window.
FIle extension should NOT be highlighted in the Save window.
This didn't use to happen, but all the adobe apps has started doing this from 2 or 3 updates ago.
PLEASE REVERT. There's no good reason for the file extension to be highlighted.

Tab order window is not resizable
I design a lot of long forms inside of InDesign. Part of this process is getting the tab order correct. The Tab Order window only displays 9 rows and is not resizable. This makes at a glance review of the tab order impossible.
Additionally, dragging and dropping rows above/below each other is broken. The blue line that signifies where I am about to drag something to does not always match up with where the drop actually happens. Sometimes it can be above another field.
Similarly, if I move a block of rows at once, the view of the window will…

save window so small and compact
The new version of InDesign's save window by default is small and compact. Why did it change? I work on Server's and very robust paths. it's a pain to always expand the window to just see further down a path to save.

Can the panel only push to the right? This will exceed the screen on the right.
Can the panel only push to the right? But when the panel is on the right, I hope to double -click the panel, and it will push left to the left, otherwise it will be beyond the right screen on the right.
Perhaps, some people say that you can be close to the right edge, and naturally push away to the left.
I know this, but this is not what I need.
I need more flexible settings.1 vote -
Can't scroll Pages Window when Export dialogue box is up
Can't scroll Pages Window when Export dialogue box is up
When exporting certain pages from a large document it was handy being able to scroll through the pages window while the export dialogue was open. This was possible on pre CC indesign copies.

Hyperlink window causing crash/lockup
Hello,
I'm working on a file from February 2020 that contains hyperlinks. Every time I click to use the Hyperlink window to edit/update urls my InDesign locks up. However, when I try this in a new file I created in December, I'm not having any issues with the hyperlinks window/tool.
I'm using the latest version of InDesign CC (16.1).
I open the file, click the Hyperlinks window and the program locks up to where I have to force quit.(Not sure if it matters - I'm adding this comment from my Mac, but I'm trying to do this work…

Window positions on Mac triple screen don't hold
On V. 15.0 I use a 27" 4K monitor arranged above two smaller HD monitors when using InDesign and Premiere Pro, for generous screen real estate. PrePro remembers to place the Program monitor on the big screen when a project is loaded. InDesign, even when the workspace is saved explicitly as "Triple," with Panel Locations and menu Customizations options checked, does not respond and loads only into the two lower HD monitors.

The Book panel disappears and can't be re-displayed.
The Book panel is essential while working, because (as far as I know) it's the only way to sync styles across your book's files. But once it disappears (which it does frequently), there is no apparent way to redisplay it. Attempting to re-open the indb file doesn't do anything, even if you've closed all other files.

InDesign Window Moves Slightly Offscreen (So I Can't Adjust Window Size) When Plugged Into External QHD Display
I'm using a 14" M1 Pro Macbook Pro, and when plugging into an external display (QHD), Indesign's top window moves slightly offscreen (see attached picture). Goes away when I unplug the display, but quite annoying to have to remember to resize the window before plugging it into a display since I can't resize the window another way without that top bar accessible.

can't resize window on left or right edge
Can not resize document window from left or right edge when document is maximized. Top, bottom and corner resizing works fine. If I resize from one of those first, all works well and left/right edges can be resized. If I then maximize the window again, left and right edge resize stops working.
I've had this problem with CC 2021 and 2022.2 votes -

Swatch window can't type in tint %
Swatch window allows you to set a Tint percent, but it can only be controlled via slider, which jumps in strange increments. It will not allow you to type in an exact percentage for the tint. Why does this one critically important window not work as well as every other tool?

dialog window of Export
I have noticed a very troublesome change in the export window.
In CS6, which I use frequently, the "range" item lists the prefixes used in the document.

[ID-4257194]page numbers on documents don't match page numbers in book window or pages pane
Ever since InDesign updated from version 19.5 to version 20, the current page number marker on my master pages will not sync. Now, every document in my book just starts from page 1. So, in other words, every chapter starts over at page 1. Please help. I've included a screen grab of my problem. You'll see that the page numbers on the actual document don't match the page numbers indicated in the pages window or in the book window. I've redone the marker in the master pages and resynced, but no dice...
8 votesTo resolve this issue, please click on the 'Update page and section numbers' option (present in the book panel's hamburger menu) after opening any book(created in any previous version) for the first time in 20.0

cross-references bug introduced with 2018.1 update
The 2018.1 "search" added to cross-references is great and will be very helpful. Unfortunately it appears that a bug was introduced in the process of adding this feature.
When you double-click on a cross-reference in the Cross-References panel, it opens the Edit Cross References window. This used to open the window to the cross-reference you selected so you could edit it. Now, it opens the window at [All Paragraphs] with the first paragraph in this list selected.
This is a MESS for my workflow, as I now have to search through the cross-references to find and select the…

No visable PDF comments in PDF Comments Window
ID 15.1.1, Win10
31.8.2020 The problem exist also in New-File Window: only the black window, one can see in the attachment
After importing the comments from a PDF file there is nothing in the PDF Comments Window. Although the comments are visable in main text, I cannot accept them in PDF comments windows, because I don't see them there.
I have the same problem with the main InDesign window: when no file is opened, I see only black flat, no icons of previously opened files, as it was in previous versions...
