first keystroke is missing after pasting text
The Show Paste Options setting eats the first keystroke after pasting text. Turn this setting OFF and the problem disappears. Turn it on and you will think you're going crazy.
InDesign CC 19.0.1 on macOS Ventura 13.6.1 (22G313) on Apple Silicon M2 Pro
Create a new document with a text field. Make sure Show Paste Options is checked (in Preferences » Clipboard Handling... » Show Paste Options)
In this example (see attached video), after pasting text, I typed "5" twice. I should see two "5"s following the pasted text.
The first "5" does not register. Only the second "5" appears…

table indent
19.0.1 - The default table loads with an 8 pica left indent. Creating a table from text also loads an 8 pica indent but I could not find a way to alter that. In the styling it showed 0 indent. I was able to adjust the default table but not the one I created from text. I deleted preferences and there was no change. Please fix.

Relink missing image - InDesign shows wrong file name
If an image (a link) is missing in the InDesign document, then there is a red circle with a white question mark on the image in the document and on the link in the Links panel. When I double click on the red circle in the Links panel, a file explorer window opens, and that window shows the right image file name in the "File name" text field. But if I double click the red circle that is on the image inside the InDesign document, then the file explorer shows the wrong file name. It shows the name of the…

InCopy cannot export assets that were inserted from CC Library into PDF - link reported as missing
The only way to export Notes from InDesign into PDF is to use InCopy, however exporting to PDF form InCopy is now compromised, because any assets in the document inserted from CC Library are reported as missing.

InDesign 19.0.1 Crashes When Exporting Stories to InCopy
I have just set up a new MacBook Pro running InDesign 19.0.1 on Sonoma (pre-installed). Every time I attempt to export .icml stories from a layout file to my SMB Synology share, the file crashes and InDesign quits. When a co-worker on Monterey does the same thing with the same file, the .icml stories export normally.
I have tried exporting individual text frames rather than "export all stories" and got the same result. I've tried exporting the stories from a different local .indd file to my computer and got the same result.
What else should I try? Reinstall InDesign?

Adobe must immediately prioritize the RENDER OF FILE THUMBNAIL PREVIEW of .indd file on Mac Desktop/finder
How can a an application of visual asset creation not render a visual preview thumbnail on Mac OS Finder? This is patently absurd and frustrating beyond comprehension! Please prioritize the RENDERING OF A THUMBNAIL PREVIEW for all INDD Files on Mac OS!!

Insertion point with more than one text style range
An insertion point can have more than one TextStyleRange, e.g.
InsertionPoint.textStyleRanges.length // Result: 779
These are the TextStyleRanges of the entire text (of the story) that follows the insertion point.
Expected is one TextStyleRange for one InsertionPoint.

Window Crop Issue
If I use multiple Screens, Indesgin and Illustrator (but mainly Indesign) has a huge problem of making the connection between screens. When I return after a short coffee break and unlock my device, indesign jumped in between my screens. I am not able to move indesign around in any screen as the menu bar is completely cropped and disappeared in between screens.
I can restart my computer and indesign multiple times but it does not change. Also deconnecting my screen does not help.I kindly ask you to fix this issue or to give a solution for a work around,…
