Character Styles do not honor symbols
I can not use the Find/Replace feature to globally assign a character style to a symbol (+, *, etc.). Tech Supp tells me only text can accept the character style assignment. It would be very helpful if you could fix this. I had pages of graduates to assign honors levels to using symbols and mosta of them had to be handled manually

Takes about 2 minutes to start up since the most recent update

InDesign 16.1 menu unclickable. Always shows hour glass cursor on Windows
Hi,
Starting today morning I am facing issues in accessing menu items on my InDesign 2021 16.1 on Windows. The application cursor is the wait cursor mode and clicking on any menu item does not have any effect. Even keyboard can't be used to select any menu items. However, I can open a new document using "Create new" button as shown.
I can't understand what's the issue and how to resolve. FYI, I have InDesign 2015 Release and Debug versions installed on this machine
Please advice.

Vertical lines occur on the right side of the page when exporting to JPEG
I'm experiencing issues when exporting my INDD-file to JPEG. It seems like the export process adds a thin, black line to the right side of the document that is not supposed to be there. Worked with InDesign for many years and never experienced anything like it, must be a bug. You don't notice this effect if you'll just use the image to upload it towards a transparent background or look at it on the screen.
However, I'm designing posters and when sending these exported JPEGS to my printing house, they will add a frame of one additional centimetre for the printing process. Then all of a sudden there's a tiny, black line coming from nowhere. I've gone through every setting I can trying to remove this but it's just impossible. Please look into this! Screenshot attached.

ID will crash on awake (MacOS)
Adobe InDesign, for the last two, three versions (current 16.2.1), will crash 100% of the time when the Mac comes back from sleep mode. I'm running MacOS 10.15.7 on two separate Macs (iMac 2020 and an over Mac Book Pro), both with plenty or RAM, and this will happen 100% of the time on both systems. I've reported this several times but when you issue a new update to "fix bugs" this one persists.

swatch palette folder minimizing
Each time I deselect then reselect the Swatch Palette all of the Groups folders are minimized, even if I recently expanded the folder. Please retain folder view status when the Swatch palette is minimized.

Allow importing of styles from CC library to application, not just to document
There needs to be a way to import styles from our library into InDesign itself, not into a document. You allow us to import swatches this way, so why not styles?
I have lots of default styles/swatches, which I created with no document open so they are applied to every new document I make. I got a new computer, so I added all of these styles to my library with hopes that I could import them all again.
Nope.
ID lets you add swatches from your library to the app, but as far as styles go you need to have a document open. Importing the styles into a document defeats the entire purpose--they will not be in any new documents.
I'm aware that I can use the styles directly from my library, but it's a hassle having to go in there every time and then right-click on each style to import it...on each new document.
You can see in one image, it allows me to add my library colors to the app, but for styles the option isn't present.

InDesign 16.2.1 Mac unwanted automatically full screen
InDesign automatically changes itself into full screen mode. Which I don't want. There is no setting to be found to correct this. Illustrator does the same thing but there you can change the UI navigation size and then it behaves like it should.

cursor stuck on pencil
When I open a certain file, the cursor is stuck on the pencil tool. I can't select any objects in the file. The cursor still operates menu selections, but doesn't work inside the document.

Id CC 2021 pdf export failure
This is an issue I and my coworker have been having with previous versions of INDD CC, along with 2021 (16.1). It's been a problem for about a year now. We work off of a server, and exporting to a PDF fails frequently. It usually works if we export to our desktops, but exporting to the server is very hit-or-miss. It doesn't matter if the file is older or has just been created, and it doesn't matter whether it contains linked files or not.
I have never had it fail to export to my desktop, but she has. She had to reboot her computer before she could get a PDF out of it.
We're both on Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6.

table content moving even if there is enough room
This is getting ridiculous, there are so many bugs in this program it's barely usable anymore. I have a 2 column layout, some content spans to 1 column. Sometimes when there is a table that spans it moves the table to the next page even if there is enough room. The only way to fix this is to make another text box and link them together. This is a huge pain ********** and makes it difficult when there are footnotes. It's a span bug and has been around for a while. Instead of making new features can you fix the tools there are already there.

Please Allow Mutliple Text Modification!
I HATE that I have to literally individually select each text in order for me to manipulate it in any way whether its changing the colors or size or the formatting. Its SUPER annoying and makes me and most of my classmates want to avoid using inDesign at all costs. We use it because our teacher makes us and there aren't many ways to do text formatting on illustrator. But on illustrator it can be easily done by just selecting all the text or using the eyedropper tool. But on indesign there are these stupid useless features like text box color. Im sure nobody uses that. And it it needs to go. If we want a background color for text we would just put a colored rectangle behind it. Im frustrated and annoying that when I select multiple texts it automatically assumes I want the background of that text to be that color NO ! NOBODY wants that! Highlighting each text individually is a PAIN and it takes forever when you have to do so many of them
I also find it super annoying that even if I copy and paste a text box with certain formatting on it the minute I erase the text and replace with another text it takes out all of the formatting. Again on Illustrator I don't have this issue.
This is supposed to be a publishing software please do better, and its 2021, but this is still an issue. Please do better.- On Behalf of Every Designer Ever
