2020 Pages Window Broken
Ever since updating to Indesign 2020 the pages window just doesn't work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a number of times but no matter what I do it just shows it as completely blank. This makes it extremely difficult to access anything, let alone my master pages.
1 voteHave you tried trashing the Application’s cache and Preferences? Please try that and see if the issue goes away.

Document Window and Pasteboard Disappear
When clicking and dragging to select objects or dragging an image into the document, the document window and pasteboard turn blank, so I can't see what I'm selecting or where the dropped object will go.

In the Table of Contents panel, make the 'Include Book Documents' option persistent and part of the style
I am writing a book, with 18 chapters, each as a separate InDesign document, but all collected in a single Book.indb.
I just now returned to writing the book after a several months break. Wanting to update my structure, I did Layout > Table of Contents and clicked 'OK'. My Table of Contents disappeared!
After investigating, I realized that the 'Include Book Documents' option in that panel had become unchecked.
I checked that option, ran Table of Contents again, and found all my table of contents entries generated successfully. Yay!
HOWEVER, when I went to regenerate the Table of Contents,…

Properties panel change - using tab for editing page size
Currently, in the Properties Panel, if you change the Width of a document and press Tab it heads to the page count (Pages) input box. It would be very helpful if it tabbed into the height box directly after typing into the Width box.
I'm consistently adding a large number of pages to the document instead of editing the Height directly after the Width when using Tab - which is not logical.

Data Merge window "white box" covering data
InDesign 20. Just upgraded and now all my data merge documents are not showing the data in the window. There is a white box over that pallette window. I tried dragging the window out but it still persists. I opened all my merge documents and they are all showing the same white box over the data fields. I contacted support via chat and they advised me to install an older version of InDesign. That solves the problem but I cannot upgrade to the new InDesign.

2-UP Vertical window mode creeps wider with every click
- Indesign 18.2.1.
- Open two documents and then select 2-UP vertical window mode
- I expect both windows to stay the same width that I have set when opening 2-UP vertical window mode.
- When using 2-UP vertical screen mode, the left hand window creeps wider by one pixel every time I click in the right hand window.

properties panel tab order for changing document size
In the properties panel, please change the tab order for document size/number of pages.
When typing new dimensions for a document I would expect to type the new width for the layout and press tab to then type the new height for the layout, instead, tab takes you to number of pages!
Madness!!!
The number of times I have gone to resize a document and changed the width to a new measurement and then added 594 new pages instead of altering the new height to 594mm.

The Stroke Panel Table Cell Stroke picker box is adjusting other Workspace panels in its shared column
My saved workspace has the Stroke Panel at the top of a column of panels and when I create a table and click into it to change its stroke, the Table Cell Stroke picker in the Stroke Panel expands. When I click outside of the table and the Table Cell Stroke picker goes away, the panels that expanded collapse, but other panels below stay in place. If this is done repeatedly, the other panels' locations/sizes would be altered permanently needing the Workspace to be reset.
The video below shows what happens when the above described action…

Share for Review SYNC Broken
I use "Share" > "Share for Review" on a Program for review by multiple departments for edits. I received notifications of over 200 edits, but upon opening the InDesign file to begin changes, the "Window" > "Comments" > "Review" Panel data is empty and again says "Create Review".
So the connection from my online review and the source InDesign is broken. Additionally, there is no option to save that online version as a pdf to import the comments via that option in "Window" > "Comments" > "PDF Comments"

Numbers keys on extended keyboard not recognized when trying to fit window e.g.Ctrl+0.
Numbers keys on extended keyboard not recognized when trying to fit window e.g.Ctrl+0.
InDesign should have the same fit to window or 100% functions as Illustrator or Photoshop.
The only thing that does work on the extended numeric keypad is the + and - keys.

spell check window opening partially off-screen InDesign 2025
When I try to launch spell check it launches partially off-screen. I cannot use the spell check, resize it or even close it.
I can close indesign and re-open and it closes the window. I have tried restarting the machine and opening it on an extended window but it still opens in the top left corner of my primary screen with the top half of the window off-screen.1 vote
