The Same Adobe Font is Considered Different for Different Users
InDesign Version: 16.2.1
Steps to reproduce issue: Open an InDesign file, set font to "Montserrat" (the Adobe Font version), save. Another person opens up the file. Instead of displaying "Montserrat", the font shows as "Montserrat (OTF)" in the font menu and all the text is highlighted red because that "font" isn't activated. If that person changes the font to "Montserrat" on their computer and saves the file, the same issue happens on my end. It's essentially treating both of our Montserrat fonts as different fonts, even though we're both using Adobe Fonts.
Expected result: Montserrat will display properly when either of us open the file up.
Actual result: Montserrat will only display properly for the person who sets the font and not the other person.

missing simple guillemets German version
When selecting in "Wörterbuch" the alternative German quotation mark - the reversed guillemets (».«) I can't select the simple version (›.‹).
Only the French version is selectable (‹.›) …
No other DTP software, like Quark XPress, Framemaker or ViaDesigner, has this bug, it's only Indesign …

InDesign 2021 v16.2.1: Glitchy preview on opening
InDesign 2021 v16.2.1: I have been experiencing viewing issues with the latest update. Whenever I open a file the preview is either blank (grey) or doesn't show correctly/looks glitchy. This happens on all documents that were previously fine. The preview glitch appears periodically when I'm working on the document as well as first open so I have to either close the document and reopen or, strangely, turn on/off the rulers? I haven't seen this before – any help appreciated! I have attached an initial open and after I turn on rulers screenshots to demonstrate. Please can you help?

TOC is not reading page number correcting.
The title I'm creating TOC from contains the 'current page number' marker.
It doesn't matter the format of the numbering I have set, ie. a, b, c or i. ii. iii or 001, 002, 003.
it will only show the absolute number of the page in the document.
Example file here

the proofreader does not underline mistakes in InDesign
Hello,
The spellchecker does not highlight mistakes in InDesign, although it is "activated" in the preferences.
Sincerely
Bonjour,
Le correcteur orthographique ne souligne pas les fautes dans InDesign, malgré qu’il soit « activé » dans les préférences.
Cordialement

InDesign UI frame changes colour
I guess this is a bug but i actually think it could be a good idea. Attached are a couple of examples of what's happened on my screen from time to time. The UI takes on a florescent colour - and all palette names/numbers, etc change to this colour.
Small appearing UI's seems to have been quite a big topic in recent years - especially as we all move toward 4K screens. So this 'bug', if that's what it is, seems to work really well for me and gives the whole workspace much more clarity. But i just have no idea how i trigger it! I wonder if this could be useful to Adobe in solving a lot of people's criticisms lately?I guess this is a bug but i actually think it could be a good idea.

InDesign Beta Critical for Many M1 users.
I can't stress enough how important this is for many M1 users.
I have a $1.5 million grant proposal due in 6 weeks and depend critically on InDesign to draft the proposal. Things were going along great until a day or two ago when the beta expired.
Why not renew it until the public Beta is released? Or at least update the beta.
The non-M1 (Rosetta) version is very buggy and adds at least 10% extra effort to my workflow. Please help!

Best update in years...Thank you!
For years, Adobe has added cloud features, glitches, ignored issues, and created a more bloated and buggy program. This is the first update in years that has improved things people including myself have been asking for a long time (some since the birth of CC).
Thank you! I hope this is a shift in direction as there is more to be fixed (mainly resource utilization efficiency and long requested productivity features for professionals.)
Keep up this great work!
