  1. Colour Profile Reset Issue / Sync Adobe Indesign 16.1

    It is becoming a bit of a issue when after updating to 16.1. The colour Profile resets to this setting. Then again going to bridge to set up the original profile again. After a few hours, closing the program, it resets again.

  2. page numbers incorrect

    My Book has multiple InDesign documents and 2 sections. Page numbering works fine except where the first doc in the main section is concerned. When I change the order in the Page window by dragging docs and dropping them between others the page numbers change to reflect that. When I try to change the order of the first two docs the one which was second becomes first but retains the old page numbers. The one which was first is now second but its page numbers begin with page number 1. See video.

  4. Balance Columns leads to severe performance issues

    Whenever I have longer text documents with multiple columns I want to use "Balance Columns" to make it, well, better.

    However, whenever I start using Balance Columns in my documents I always run into severe performance issues.

    Example: Right now I have a document of ~100 pages (one text flow). I have not enabled "Balance Columns" on all pages due to performance (and the fact that another bug prevents you from doing this from the master page), so I have manually enabled it on a page-by-page basis for pages I feel need it (I'd much rather just turn it on…

  7. library panels display

    the background color of the library panels in Indesign and Illustrator take on the same color of the interface (as from the latest version of indesign CC 16.1) As I have the dark interface selected, the icons and other assets are almost invisible. There is no way to change it, switching to the light interface is the only thing that helps.

  8. Spellcheck Bug

    Spellcheck/User Dictionary keeps defaulting to random languages and cannot not be changed. I've changed my preferences to English (US) several times manually and it will not fix the problem. Please fix this bug.

  9. widespread issues with unicode fonts (tibetan) and footnotes

    macos 10.13.6, ID 15.1.3
    completely wacky behaviour of footnotes in combination with unicode tibetan fonts (dduchen, noto, babelstone tibetan). fn numbers in text do not follow formatting, in footnote reference numbers are only one digit (most of the time) and sometimes proper digits (occacionally). odd spaces before letters and words (all fonts), strange behavior with formate changes. this is as ********* as it gets.

  10. Problem with Keyboard Shortcuts

    On a Mac [10.14.6] I set the F8 key to bring up the Paragraph Style Option box [image attached]. With the most recent update the F8 key does not work unless I have the Paragraph Style Panel open [image attached]. This is an obscure bug but it just means I need one more panel open to access the F8 shortcut. This short cut has worked for a zillion years until now. I hope this is of assistance. Thanks.

  14. Tint slider disappears/doesn't work in 16.1

    The tint slider in the swatches window in the newest update for the Mac version of InDesign (16.1) on Big Sur appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears. You can type in the tint % box, but the slider is inoperable.

  16. Search box when updating link

    When I want to update a link and press the link button, an "open/find file-window" is opened. I then often want to search or the file using the file name, but when I press the search box in the upper right hand corner this box is suddenly shrunk to a much smaller size which very small font which is thus illegible (this does not happen when I do the same maneuvre in e.g. Windows Explorer). I want the box to remain the same size so I can see the search term I type.
    I tried to attach screenshots in the…

  17. Display QuickBooks Hidden Files and Folders in Windows

    <a href="https://www.quickbookspremiersupport.us/display-hidden-files-and-folders-using-windows/">Windows operating system hides many files and folders</a> by default, in order to prevent the users from deleting or modifying files that shouldn’t be touched at all.

  18. CC Libraries panel gets stuck a lot!

    When I reboot Indesign it comes back to life but after a short time gets stuck again. Sometimes it just stops responding and sometimes the panel is also enlarged and cropped like the screenshot attached.

  19. resetting preferences doesn't work

    I've tried the Shift-Command-Option-Control key combination when launching InDesign, making sure to hit those keys immediately after launching. I've tried deleting all the preferences and caches files I know about, according to the search results I see online about such files for InDesign. I've tried restarting my computer, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign.

    But the preferences just WILL NOT RESET no matter what I do. Whaaaaa? When using the key combination, I don't get the "reset preferences" dialog. When deleting the files, I restart and find the same setup I had before trying to reset, when the setup…
