InDesign Window Moves Slightly Offscreen (So I Can't Adjust Window Size) When Plugged Into External QHD Display
I'm using a 14" M1 Pro Macbook Pro, and when plugging into an external display (QHD), Indesign's top window moves slightly offscreen (see attached picture). Goes away when I unplug the display, but quite annoying to have to remember to resize the window before plugging it into a display since I can't resize the window another way without that top bar accessible.

Space Bar Shortcut for Hand Tool frequently stops working (MacOS)
About once a week I find that the hand tool shortcut stops working.
Restarting InDesign doesn't resolve the issue, however restarting the computer does.Space bar continues to work in all other capacities (including as a spacebar, as I'm experiencing the bug right now and yet still able to add spaces into this text box)

Share for Review: 404 Error, I'm the owner but receive no access
I have hundreds of share for review links that all don't work anymore, neither for me nor externals. They all end up at 404. When I open the indd, I get the message that I'm not permitted to create or update a review link because I'm not the owner — I am. I've tried logging out and back in but that didn't help. My indesign is fully up to date at version 17.3.

It shows 20% larger when the actual size is at 100%. When the View Size is at 80%, it gives an image close to 100%. Command + 1 (⌘ + 1) brings the screen to 100%, but the dimensions are wrong.

European characters recognized as Kanjis in composite fonts
I'm editing a Chinese document containing certain European characters such as ē and í.
I've created a composite font that uses Roboto for numbers and latin alphabets, and Noto Sans CJK for the Chinese characters.Recently I noticed some of the European characters are incorrectly recognized as Kanjis, and are set to Noto Sans CJK instead of Roboto.
By testing my composite font settings, I confirmed that these misbehaving characters are being recognized as Kanjis (the top row in the composite font window).
- InDesign version: 17.3
- Create a composite font as shown in Screen Shot 1

Paragraph Borders appearing incorrectly between paragraphs at top/bottom of page
InDesign 17.3 (2022) running on an Apple M1 chip
When several adjacent paragraphs have the same border settings, the treatment of borders at the top/bottom of the page vary depending on whether the pages break BETWEEN paragraphs, or WITHIN paragraphs. They should function the same.
In the attached screenshot, query-bordersappearing.png is incorrect (ACTUAL RESULT).
The rules should disappear as seen in query-bordersnotappearing.png (EXPECTED RESULT, even if the page break falls between paragraphs).
The only difference between the two screenshots is I pulled up the bottom of the box on the left-hand page to force the text to break within a…

Having issues updating files which are published online.
Hi there, I am having problems trying to amend (override) an already 'published online' indesign file. I really liked the capability of this function as it means that other sites where my file is embedded, do not need to be updated and I can go directly to the source without the html link changing.

All adobe apps temporarily freeze when another adobe app is saving.
I've noticed this since the last update. When InDesign is saving, all other Adobe apps temporarily freeze until InDesign completes saving. Not a problem most of the time for quick saving documents, but for larger projects like catalogs, I can be stuck for 5-10 minutes until INDD completes saving.

idml letter spacing
Hi Team ID,
We love the IDML export because we can send that to our translation office and get close to final-artwork-files back. But we realized paragraph and character styles which include letter spacing values do not have letter spacing any more after export. Can you fix this please?Thank you

In tagged PDF, selecting a tag highlights multiple paragraphs - Indesign/Acrobat Bug
In an Indesign document, suppose a hyperlink exists in a line with shift-enter at the end of that line. In tagged PDF, the <p> tag of a paragraph that has hyperlink with shift-enter, highlights including the content of the next paragraph and leaving the tag of that next para empty.
The same issue will not occur when we remove the shift-enter in that line and export the Tagged PDF.
The hyperlink may be in single or multi-line.
Attached sample PDF file and screenshots.
