addidtionl layer(s) are invisible in embedded INDD
The objects on layers except the main layer are invisible if you place the indd document in another indd document. If you move the object to the main layer and refresh the link they are visible again. PDF export is not effected by this.

Page Tool 'Use Spacing' does not affect pages, then crashes
As you can see from the screenshot, the use spacing option does not affect pages at all. I've got about 39mm of space between each page, tried typing 5mm and they don't move, even though it displays as 5mm.
No matter how many pages are selected with the Page Tool option, nothing changes.
Previously had a problem with the page align tool, but managed to fix it by resetting Indesign Preferences.
This didn't fix the 'Use Spacing' option though, and after a few times of typing various numbers into the box, it crashes.
Any patches to help with this?

Typesetting changes on paragraphs that are not touched
while working on texts - like doing corrections or micro typopraphy – InDesign changes the line breaks to other paragraphs that I am not working on.
On the same page, but when I work on details sometimes I zoom and do not see that things are changing. This often causes changes to several pages and I need to fix everything back!1 vote -
Quick Action 'edit with' not working with creative cloud files
Normally I can quickly edit the placed PSD-files in Photoshop with option-click. But with the PSDC-files this option no longer works. From the Quick Options menu there are no apps under the 'edit with' menu. If the files are on the computer, it works fine.
Will this option also be available for PSD files that are in the Creative Cloud?1 vote -

new documents open in full screen
I am using ID 18.1 on Mac OS 12.5.1. Every time I open a new InDesign document the document takes up the whole screen. I have unchecked application frame under windows menu. I have unchecked "show home screen" in preferences. It is extremely annoying to have to grab the lower right corner of the window to size it down every time I open or create a new document. Where is the setting/preference to fix this?

Navigation bug on InDesign 18
When I open a document with several pages (facing pages) and I use the option + up or down arrow shortcuts to scroll the pages, indesign skips 2 double pages instead of one. The bug is intermittent. Only on Indesign 18.0 and 18.1.
I came back to version 17.4.1 and no more problems.1 vote -
InDesign 18.1 x64 crashes depending on AppliedLanguage
InDesign 18.1 x64 will open the de.idml file from the archive attached below* but crashes when trying to open cs.idml. The only difference between these two files is a single AppliedLanguage attribute set in Styles.xml.
Please look into why this happens with only one of them (or if both files are considered incorrect, let us know why).
*What I have attached is a .zip archive renamed to .txt. Please rename it back and extract the two files I've mentioned. Your form did not allow me to upload neither .idml nor .zip files.
Thanks for any help! Arnold

Palette management is a nightmare. What happened?
M1 Macbook Pro connected to dual displays. Adobe user for 20+ years.
There seems to be no hope for palettes and window positions on Mac OS. I run multiple resolutions at different times based on the displays that are in use. Adobe apps are simply unable to maintain any palette and window locations. The application window moves to half the screen. The documents become dislodged from overall application frame. Palettes "jump" when I move them.
As a user I understand that I have a responsibility to manage my settings, but after repeatedly resetting workspaces and trying to re-arrange palettes. I simply don't have time or patience to troubleshoot the logic behind the current window management. The user experience is terrible.
Please provide a way to maintain window and palette positions across multiple screens and resolution changes.
Laptop display only (+ variations for previously used resolutions)
Laptop display with external display (1) (+ variations for previously used resolutions)
Laptop display with external display (2) (+ variations for previously used resolutions)
Laptop display with two external displays (1 & 2) (+ variations for previously used resolutions)
Clamshell mode with one display (+ previously used resolutions)
Clamshell mode with two displays (+ previously used resolutions)Thank you

Paper color should be RGB when document is RGB
When I create a new INDD in RGB or convert from CMYK to RGB, the formula for the [Paper] swatch should change with it. Currently the [Paper] swatch is CMYK. This is causing an issue whenever I create a gradient from a vibrant RGB color to [Paper]. The vibrant color gets muddled down to the look of a CMYK conversion. The workaround I've been using is to create a custom white swatch for the gradient, or manually convert [Paper] to RGB. Both workarounds are less than ideal: having a second white swatch in the file may lead to confusion down the line or when other users pick up my file, and when modifying the [Paper] swatch to RGB it doesn't change back to CMYK when going the other direction so it may also create problems down the line if a file is picked up and reworked.

Selection extends in wrong direction - all other thext editors are doing well, except InDesign
There is a very annoying behavior in InDesign - when using the Shift+Arrow keys to extend the selection, the selection grows in a wrong direction.
To reproduce:
1. Click and drag the text cursor to select text.
2. Shift + Arrow left to make the selection smaller.
Bug: the selection starts to grow/shrink AT THE BEGINNING OF SELECTION, not at the end of the selection.
Why is this a problem?
When selecting text, the cursor must be left where the mouse button is released. If selecting from left to right, the cursor must be left at the end of the selection. Therefore, Shift+Arrow key must grow/shrink the selection at the end. InDesign does in an unexpected way, it leaves the cursor at the beginning of the selection!
BTW the cursor movement after selecting text is a random mess:
- Shift + Left arrow - extends the selection to the left
- after this: Shift + Right arrow extends the selection to the right
- after this: Shift + Left arrow shrinks the selection on the right (... ?)The correct behavior (see practically all editors on this Earth, those all work correctly):
- When releasing the cursor at the beginning of the selection (selecting from right to left), Shift + Arrow keys grow/shrink the selection at the beginning (on the left side).
- When releasing the cursor at the end of the selection (selecting from left to right), Shift + Arrow keys grow/shrink the selection at the end (on the right side).There is a very annoying behavior in InDesign - when using the Shift+Arrow keys to extend the selection, the selection grows in a wrong direction.
