Spell check does not work
When I open the dialog, it already says "Spell Check Complete" at the top. I changed what to search, to get it to say "Ready to Check Spelling" then clicked "Start", but nothing happens—just goes back to saying "Spell Check Complete".

The number on the Image Place Thumbnail is not correct
It should reflect the number of images 'in' the cursor. But its 1 too high.

Find command highlights text in background
In long INDD documents with text flowing from one page frame to another, the text often does not refresh properly when the page is turned. Using the Find command then often highlights text that is in the text story but is not visible on screen when highlighted by the Find command. The attached JPEG shows an example of the problem. The JPEG is a screenshot of an INDD page showing a Find for "Brown" but with random text highlighted at line 15. "Brown" is there, but it is in the background, and it cannot be selected, edited, etc. The only…

Indesign/LTS version (15.1.3) don't update font menu accordingly system registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Fonts)
Editoriale Domus Spa
My enviroment: InDesign LTS version 15.1.3 (mandatory) - InCopy LTS version 15.1.3 (mandatory) - Extensis UTC 7.0.10 (mandatory) - clients OS Windows 10/MacOS Mojave- Font family OTF/TTF.Fonts get activated, then again so that theindesign/incopy document refreshes and detects the fonts but unfortunately this could result in significantly longer loading times for large files and other unexpected performance issues.
The fonts are active for the whole system (reg query "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\fonts)
and app., Bloc Notes for example.I have opened tickets with Extensis. Here is the answer after testing in their environment

Find/Change in empty cells of a table
I am trying to add a bullet (or any other character) in empty cells in a table in InDesign. With GREP this works, but only cell by cell via 'Change'. 'Change All' does not work, however. I tested this in both CC 2020 and CC 2021.

Disappearing text when I type the character ,,T"
So, I have an InDesign file, which is a brandbook for a partner. Few paragraph styles and some items, nothing secial. I use Prompt (Google font) installed on my system. As soon as I hit (smallcaps) T when writing the text OR becomes unvisible or it breakes to the basic paragraph style AND it wont display the T. IF I copy and paste the text from outside of InDesign then it displays T. And the All Caps T works as well. This bugg is really annoying. Could you look into this issue?

Compound path stroke incorrect
InDesign version 16.1 macOS. Haven't tested Windows, could be same.
Steps to reproduce:
In a new document, create a box.
Create a second, smaller box, inside the first box.
Select both and create a compound path (Object menu, Paths, Create Compound Path).
Select the object.
Give it a large stroke, for example, 10 points.
Set align stroke to outside shape.
Result: smaller, inner box (the "hole") has the stoke going same direction as larger box, when it should be reversed, going "outward" (toward the hole) instead of into the shape.1 vote -
Library panel not registering licensed images
Hi, for a while now the Library panel does not register when I license an image from Adobe Stock. I search for an image and place a watermarked thumbnail into the document (InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop). When the draft is approved I click on the license image icon on the image in the Library (or on the thumbnail image in the document) and the license process happens but the library does to update to show the licensed image. I have to go to Adobe stock in a web browser, find the specific library and download the image manually. The cloud…

Exported PDF closes automatically
Since updating to InDesign 16.2 the Export PDF function with "View PDF after exporting" option checked does open the pdf in Preview (macOS Big Sur 11.2.3) but it closes it automatically before the user can interact with it.

Thick-thin rule appears backwards in counters of a compound path
When the thick-thin rule style (or another that’s similarly asymmetrical) is applied to a compound path, the thick part is the outermost toward the outside of the shape, but not the innermost toward the holes or counters as one would expect. (I don’t recall seeing this in earlier versions, but I don’t use these rule styles very often.) To make the insides match (mirror) the outsides I have to stack copies of the object, each with its own simple rule.
Using v16.1 on MacOS v10.15.7.
P.S. Not sure what category this belongs in—sorry if it’s out of place.

Indesign freezes and/or crashes when opening hyperlinks panel
Indesign freezes and/or crashes when opening hyperlinks panel. It does usually eventually unfreeze but this can take up to 20+ minutes. I'm running Indesign 2021 Creative Cloud on a Mac, release 16.1.
- Open a document with existing links
- Click on the hyperlinks panel
- Freezes
- Either I force quit or it unfreezes, depending on how long it's been frozen.
