InDesign 16.2.1 + Mojave still missing Create New Folder (cmd+shift+N) and Show Original (cmd+R)
Adobe please fix this issue. It very frustrating that you can not create folder inside open/save window dialog with a shortcut. Every other program allows that. Am I the only one that is using keyboard shortcuts? This bug is there now for about half a year. Is it really so hard to fix this? Pleeeeeease.

Spell Check keeps defaulting to Polish.
I need to spell check my document but none of the words are in the dictionary. The spell check dictionary keeps defaulting to Polish even when I change it to English. I have set it as English US in every place I can find but it keeps defaulting to Polish for spell check.
Help.

Handling error sizing with frame with contour (centered/outside).New bug!? Frames with contour: Are now shifted into each other after simult
Scaling with undesirable erroneous result:
Affects frames whose outline is either:
A. centered or
B. aligned to the outside of the frame
(Frames where the contour is aligned on the inside of the frame are not affected by this error. There the scaling still works correctly as desired).Recently, such frames (with a contour A/B) shift into each other undesirably after simultaneous resizing (see screenshot) and lose their original arrangement to each other!
I don't know with which version this new bug appeared,
but it is annoying and makes work slower again.With Illustrator the error does not occur. There it still work as before also with Indesign!
Please Adobe quickly correct. To correct that manually, whether with illus with lines or picture frames costs unnecessarily much time and can also quickly lead to errors in final artwork!

No frame edges for lines or ankerpoint visible anymore?
Problem: Line objects no longer have "frame edges" in the normal view! Lines without line thickness, white lines (which do not lie over a background), individual nodes are thus invisible in the layout!
To find slipped lines again or to find several rest fragments like single nodes again becomes a patience and search game!
The (line-) or frame edges appear only if you either select everything or if you move the mouse over the line or the single node randomly (mouseover). Simple is different!
This was not always so! No idea when this was changed! But it was a very bad decision in any case!!! This does not make working with lines easy. But nerve-wracking and time-consuming.
Time consuming and layout though, are not a good combo.
This reminds me somehow of QuarkXpress!Please Adobe, re-enable line edges via the frame edges option!!!!

ID 2021 (16.1) slow performance with all palettes open
Running ID 2021 (16.1) on MacPro (2019) 3.3 Ghz / 192Gb / AMD Radeon Pro W5700X 16 Gb / MacOS 10.15.7.
So, I would like to report a bug related to the palettes in ID. I run a 2 monitor setup with my work on one screen and all my ID palettes on on the second screen. I have run this way for 10+ years. This has always been OK until I moved from InDesign 2019 (14.0.3) to ID 2021 (16.1) 2 months ago.
The performance of ID 16.1 is unacceptably slow. It is as if you have a really intensive process running in the background (like Folding At Home) all the time.
Now... if I hide all my palettes (press TAB) then everything speeds up and there is no lag at all, exactly like it was with ID 2019. Show palettes and everything slows down, LOTS of lag. No spinning beech ball, just lag.
If I go back and use ID 2019 everything works perfectly. It is fast with all palettes open. The problem is in ID 2021.
PLEASE, can Adobe take a look in to this. I am happy to take a movie for you, but the description above is what you will see.
InDesign is so frustrating to use right now, please help.
Thank you,

Wrong swatch color for color using hsb values
I'm using InDesign version 16.1 on Mac OS X 11.3
When setting a color using HSB values, the color which is created is wrong.
In the screen shot I added you can see two swatches, both have the same related values.
One is set via HSB the other by RGB.
The HSB preview is totally wrong.2 votes -

InDesign to Acrobat Accessibility Bug
When performing Acrobat remediation on InDesign publications containing correct export tagging, the Acrobat Reading Order tool shows "P" tags at the end of each line of text (as well as additional "P" tags in the middle of lines). The Acrobat Tags panel shows no paragraph tags -- just broken up lines of text.
Fortunately, these broken up lines are not reproduced as such by the screen reader. So why does Acrobat identify each line of text with a "P" in the first place?
This issue needs to be fixed as it creates a dilemma and lot of unnecessary remediation work for those who are unaware that screen readers are able to bypass broken up lines and read the full paragraph.
I'm currently using InDesign 2021 but this has been happening with earlier versions as well.
I initially submitted this as an Acrobat bug and was advised in response that it is an InDesign issue.

This issue is user specific. In this case, the user is the Windows system. When we launch the application as a different user we do not have this problem.ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS:
- Restarting the application
- Restarting the server
- Deleted user specific temp files in C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Indesign Server<version><locale>OTHER
It's worth noting that is problem seems to be very similar to this issue:

Pasteboard settings are broken
Adjusting the pasteboard size between pages is broken - see screenshot, I've set it to zero and still each page is miles apart. Sick and tired of these endless bugs.
