Swatch Tint becomes black in stead of white
When adding a swatch color to a flat grayscale image, setting the tint makes the color darker in stead of lighter.
See how the color preview behaves the right way, but the image does not.1 vote -

InDesign v.17.1: Crashes while pasting.
InDesign v.17.1: Crashes while pasting. Elements disappearing. Working on an InDesign 2020 file, 2nd edition of a book. It's a 496-page book, full of tables and images. For some unknown reason, a lot of elements have just disappeared from a few pages and when I try to paste anything into the file, InDesign just shuts down. Please help.
PS: After a couple of hours of searching, I found this text frame containing the text that has disappeared. It has a chapter name that had gone missing. This has happened only in one section of the book. This particular style 'Chapter…

InDesign is removing caps from file names
InDesign 17.1 x64 Often (most of the time, but not always) when I overwrite (File Save As) or Export to a PDF that already exists and overwrite the current file, the new file name becomes all small letters (removes my caps). It only happens with InDesign. I can overwrite PDFs from Word, Access, etc and it never happens. This is very frustrating. Just started happening with version 17.

cells selection
Bug 1:
See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.
Make a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.
Merge the first 2 cells of the first row.

Set the contents of other cells to C, D, E, F, G, H.
Now select cells B, D and E.
If you click on the Edit menu, InDesign crash.
If you choose File -> Export, InDesign crash.
On the scripting side, calling document.selection throw an exception and it is not possible to get the current selection.Bug 2:

PDF's Exporting at Large File Sizes
I've been running into an issue with PDF's exporting at large file sizes. This became apparent to me after the 2022 update. Here is an example of how this occurs and disrupts my workflow.
I recently sent a exported a PDF from an indd project that linked to 13 PSD's. The exported PDF file size came to relatively manageable 10 MBs.
I later updated the same project, now including 20 linked PSD's. This PDF export came to 184 MBs!
When I've run into this in the past, I've had to either convert the PSD's to JPG's, or run some kind…

InDesign Server removes locks from locked layers during opening the document
Hi,
We ran into to the following issue on InDesign Server: after opening, saving and closing a document that contains layers that are locked, these layers become unlocked.
The issue is reproducible on InDesign Server 16.4.0, 16.4.1, 17.0.0.
The issue is not reproducible with version 15.x and 16.0.0, so it must have been introduced in InDesign Server 16.2.1 or 16.4.0.
Scenario (on IDS 16.4.1):
InDesign: create a document ‘~/Desktop/local2021.indd’
Create 3 layers
Lock all layers
Save and close the document
Run the script below on InDesign Server 2021 (16.4.1),
targetengine "session"
function main()
{
try {
var docFile = new…1 vote -
Switch off UI scaling feature in ID v17
@Adobe programming team:
Please add a switch that let the user decide to turn on or switch off the UI feature invented in ID v17. Please see attached screenshot (german version).
Reason: Users with a Windows scaling factor above 100% can no longer display all panels because they overlap and are way to big. No lower scaling possible, only higher.
ID misinterprets that the user has high-DPI monitors when using a scaling factor of e.g. 125%.
Alternatively, the scaling range could be extended having additional lower "stops".It was no problem to display panels in the correct size in ID…

space bar and tab bugs
InDesign 17.1 is impossible to use with macOS 12.2.1 Monterey.
Using the space bar puts the document in the dock. Using the tab freezes the document.1 vote -

Slow creation of PDF low-res
In addition to the problem I posted regarding a conflict between ID and Windows 11, I did resolve that by moving to an earlier release of ID. However, the creation of the low-res PDF now consumed the time it normally takes to produce a high-res print-ready export. Something is going on with ID 17.1.

Chinese character page number rule needs to following Chinese grammar
Chinese page number grammar after 10 is not following Chinese grammar.
For example, page 21 in Chinese is written as 第二十一页, instead of 第二一页.It's horrifying seeing Chinese is been butched likt this.

2 uneven pages left right 16, 17 in a document of 64 pages in spread of same double master page spread.

Shared CC Library
The WHOLE purpose of a "SHARED CC LIBRARY" is to be able to keep a single and universal source of truth for EVERY element within the library across all uses of the element – on all files.
There is an issue achieving this.
When I add an illustrator file to the CC Shared Library from within Indesign, and I go to edit that element, it:
Opens a new InDesign file, where you can make the change,
save the change, and the change is displayed on the thumbnail of the shared element, and does in fact update the shared element.HOWEVER....

Accessibility square bullet issue
Document is set up following Accessibility guidelines, but instead of round bullets, we used square ones, colored red. All set up correctly using paragraph/character styles. When we use the read out loud voice in Acrobat, it reads "Black Square". A quick search found others with the same issue, with no work around. I should be able to define the square as a bullet, so that Acrobat would know, but even though the bullet is set up in character styles, the reader doesn't see it that way... and it gets the color wrong... though I'd rather it read simply "Bullet."

Creating a new Cross Reference - Automatic select [All Paragraphs]
When creating a new Cross Reference entry, the windows that pop automatically pick [All Paragraphs] and in document with many table or lots of text frame, this can take very, very.... long time before the window popup.
This was introduced with CC 18.1 and is still the case up to now with CC22 (17.1).
It was ok with CC20017.
I have been reporting this behavior since April 2019 and for each release.

Publication Analytics
We need reliable analytics on epublished documents to show to our clients. Over time we update the documents and for some mysterious reason the "Originally Published" date is wrong. How am I supposed to know if the numbers are from the update I made a week ago or or from our first publishing last september. And no... There are no dublicates of that document.
