Align Towards Spine/Away From Spine in Slug Area
Not sure if this is better as bug report or feature request . . .
Spine alignment options do not work for text in Slug Area. For example, text set to Align Towards Spine and positioned in the slug area beside a recto page does not align toward spine.
It makes sense why spine alignment for objects generally might not work for text not touching a page, since the pasteboard does not have a spine, but the slug area should be recognized as an extension of the page (or, at least, the requirements of the page).

Nonbreaking Space shortcut doesn't work on mac
The shortcut for the "Nonbreaking Space" (option+command+X) doesn't work anymore in Indesign 2023 (and 2022). Clearing cache and preferences didn't fix it.

15.1 High Sierra data merge- wont load file when colon (:) is in header
On selecting data source it does nothing. comma-seperated, tab seperated. All the same issue, the records and headers won't show. Like nothing happens.
I do get my import options. They don't make any difference either.1 vote -
white overprint with placed INDD
I stumbled across a strange phenomenon today. I have an INDD file (file 1), which is placed as such in another INDD file (file 2). In this file 1 there is a Swiss cross, which is placed as EPS. If this placed file 1 is exported as PDFX-4, everything looks correct. However, if the file 2 with the placed file 1 is exported as PDFX-4, something strange happens. The Swiss cross disappears in the PDF or the white is set to overprint. However, this is neither stored in file 1 nor in the EPS.
I have the following

Sentence case in styles
Please add a "Sentence Case" to Paragraph Styles. Incredibly the choices are limited to Normal, Small Caps, All Caps, OpenType All Small Caps. When editing a book the subheads are almost always Sentence Case. Why would this not be an option?

command and option keys stop working
Several times a day my command and option keys stop working in Adobe products. Only logging out will briefly fix the problem.
There doesn't seem to be any clear fixes for this online. Any ideas?

Horizontal and vertical measurements switched in Move dialog
I’m one of the dinosaurs who started out in the trade on a typesetting machine, and my preferred system of units uses picas for horizontal measures and points for vertical. This has mostly worked fine for years, but since the most recent update I notice that the Move dialog is using points for X and picas for Y. Not a major issue, but somewhat annoying. (ISTR previous versions with a similar bug in the Cell Options > Text dialog, where the left & right insets were in points and the top & bottom in picas, but that one now behaves…

Un nouveaux grossissement d'affichage sur les objects sélectionnés
Les équipes d'adobe doivent créer un nouveau focus ou zoom natif. Sur le logiciel, on devrais zoomer sur l'objet de travail en cour ou sélectionné. Bien sur les deux option de programmation manuel et automatiquement doivent apparaître. Les deux options disponibles laisserais un choix de création meilleur.

Publish Online Incorrect German translation
Publish Online.
As reported in the forums:
In the "readerView" is a translation error in the "language-dropdown-content"
it should read "Deutsch" (without the "e" at the end)!!
"Deutsche" would be reffering to "several German people" not the German language. That is ALWAYS "Deutsch" only.
Looks weird for a "Deutsche" :-) Would be like reading "Englishes" as a language option...5 votes -

CC2018 Swatch panel bug
The InDesign CC 2018 swatch panel displays different sets of swatches when set to different view options. “Small name” seems the most complete. Swatches are missing with the other settings especially after opening a document from a previous version of InDesign.

Can't export as 2-up facing (non-continuous) PDF
I was able to export the pdf as facing pages (non-continuous), but recently discovered I am now unable to even select those options for some reason. I recently downloaded a plugin called "in5" https://exchange.adobe.com/creativecloud.details.100761.html and uninstalled it when it turned out to be a trial with watermarks. I've attempted to change one of the export options from "page" to "spread" with no success.
I reinstalled Indesign CC after uninstalling the plugin and am still getting this problem. I am wondering whether this is a software based issue, or CC account issue.

Title Case Is Not Actually Title Case
I'm editing book with over 1,000 pages. I am selecting copy, changing case to Title Case, but it just capitalizes first letter in all words. There needs to be another case option. Title case needs to be setup so it makes a "title" of a book so words like "of" are not capitalized. New option can be called First Letter Caps, and Title case can be fixed to address words that should not be capitalized in a title of a book or headline.

Multiple copy paste functions
I have been using the Indesign program for a long time. He has made very good progress. This is what I expect from you. We can only paste one copy with the copy paste command. It would be great if it could copy multiple texts separately. For example, when copy-pasting 3 or 5 different texts, you need to do each one by one. It would be much more practical if we could copy them all and name them like copy 1 copy 2 copy 3 and paste 1 paste 2 paste 3 options while pasting. I wish you good luck…
