Custom menus created by script stay after relaunching InDesign
There's a bug in InDesign 2022 where custom menus created by a script stay after relaunching InDesign.
How to reproduce:
-Run this AppleScript script which will create a menu titled Custom Menu:
tell application "Adobe InDesign 2022"
tell menu "$ID/Main" to make submenu with properties {title:"Custom Menu"}
end tell-Relaunch InDesign
The menu Custom Menu will still be there. While it should NOT be there unless explicitely created by a script again.
The only way to remove it is to run a separate script that specifically removes the menu.
It's a big problem for third-party software: for example, where users remove a startup script that created the menu - but the menu doesn't go away.

Adding file extension after first letter of file name when saving a new document
When I save a new document, the default file name is "Untitled-1.indd" (or .psd or .ai). If I want to call the file "ProjectA.indd" when I start typing and press "P" all creative cloud apps add the file extension after the first letter then continue with what I am typing. So what should be "ProjectA" turns into "P.inddrojectA." If I only type "Pr" I get "P.inddr." If I start to delete and remove the r and the second d, it will add the file extension again so I end up with "P.ind.indd." If I delete back to the "P" and start typing again it will work and I can type "ProjectA" without InDesign adding .indd in the middle. Also, if after I get "P.inddr" if I highlight the entire filename and delete, I can type "ProjectA" without InDesign adding .indd in the middle. The same thing happens in Illustrator and Photoshop. Is there a fix for this? I am on a Mac running Monterey 12.0.1.

Transparency from PSD or PNG not showing in InDesign 17.0.1
Since InDesign updated to v17.0.1 (from the v17 before this), transparency on pngs and psd's has stopped working. Instead it drops in a black background and messes with the colours.
The image on blue shows how it should work (using a workaround dropping it onto white and setting the transparency to darken), the other is with the PNG or PSD imported with transparency. It was fine yesterday before updating.1 voteCould you share the PSD and PNG files with us?
If yes, please send them to indshare@adobe.com, mentioning
the Subject the same as the thread.—

background
Background colors (that should just be white) go crazy on tables and other pages until InDesign is quit and re-opened. There's no specific action that seems to trigger the issue, and it appears intermittently. This is happening on version 16.4.0.54.

save as adds extra .indd extension
If you choose "save as" and delete the default Untitled file name, the dialogue box automatically adds an extra .indd extension.
InDesign 17.0.1 - MacBook Pro, macOS Monterey 12.0.11 voteThis issue happens in Apple’s own applications like Text Edit as well. It is not restricted to InDesign.

Rechteck Rahmen
Es ist sehr mühsam in InDesign den Rechteck-Werkzeugrahmen zu aktivieren. Es funktioniert nur noch, wenn man exakt auf den Rahmen klickt. Klick in Table funktioniert nicht mehr. Das erschwert den Arbeitsablauf und nimmt viel Zeit. Bitte um Korrektur. Danke

Placed/Imported Photos glitching, changing colors, white noise effect
File> Placed Photos glitching, changing colors, white noise effect, or turn black. Tried dragging and dropping onto artboard but pictures keep importing distorted. Reset all presets and preferences. Uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck. Photos should import as is instead of glitching and most of all changing colors. This started happening after I updated InDesign beginning of this month (November 2021).

Saving postscript goes to wrong folder
Indesign 2022 17.0 is saving postscript files to the wrong folder. It saves to the last folder that a postscript was created in rather than the folder the document was opened from. I've tried resetting preferences but that did not help.

locked layers are invisible
I have an issue with locked layers: they are invisible in the layer-panel. I can only see them in the layout-view. I cannot edit, delete or unlock them. I can only make them invisible by disabling the "eye".
This happend to a file that was packed about 2 years ago. Unfortunately, even the IDML-File can't be edited. What's wrong?

The new version of INDesign just doesn't work.
Installed.
Now uninstalling.
It continually keeps being unresponsive.
Another error now on Cloud, suggesting relancing it as it's taking .longer than normal.Poor from Adobe to launch yet another bug fix that's even more buggy

Saving a document
There's a strange problem when I try to save a document in InDesign. It doesn't happen every time but it's reoccuring and quite annoying. When I try to type something in the "save as" field, all the characters change as if Cthulhu has taken over the system. The only way to be able to save is to cancel and try again until it doesn't happen. This problem has only occured in the Adobe Indesign 2021 version.

Error 39 - An error occurred while uploading your document. Please try again.
Hey all,
Really seeking some help or guidance here, we've been experiencing issues with all of our users attempting to upload/publish a document within InDesign (This is occurring with all InDesign files and on all machines I've tested so far).
I have performed a fresh installation into a virtual machine running Windows 10 (10.0.18363.1854) and version 17.0 of InDesign where the issue is occurring also.
I have followed https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/upload-error-publishing-indesign-document.html#sa_src=web-messag... however disabling network proxy is not an option as we're an enterprise environment.
I can see 200's for reaching the endpoints mentioned in various Adobe support documentation however I have been able to identify that InDesign will ignore the PAC file and attempt to go directly to some Amazon endpoints which is causing the error.
I contacted Adobe Support via Chat and was advised my request was forwarded to an expert however I have received no communications since then or a reference number to persue the matter.
Is there any additional settings within InDesign where I can specify a proxy?
Many thanks in advance,
