Indesign 16. Problema con sangrías de texto y objetos con contorneo
Cuando una caja de texto o imagen con contorneo mueve texto sangríado (en el ejemplo, sangría en la primera línea) la sangría de la primera línea desaparece.
Ver en la muestra los ejemplos correctos dentro del circulo superior y los 2 inferiores en los que la sangría no se muestra correctamente debido a la caja de imagen con contorneo que se ve a la izquierda.1 vote -

Pages Palette Bug
Hello,
- Create a new document with 5 pages.
- Draw out a text frame on each page and insert a number starting with "5" on page 1, "4" on page 2, "3" on page 3, "2" on page 4 and "1" "on page 5.
- Now try to sort the numbers into the correct order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) by dragging the thumbnails to the correct place in the Pages palette. You will not succeed because the respective side always jumps one position too far. I reported this bug over a year ago and it still isn't fixed! (Indesign version 16.1)

Swatch pallet not showing current color in use
Since the latest update to version 16.1 the color swatches do not show which color is currently in use. You cannot toggle between the fill and border either in that pallet. The color swatches work in the top menu and the left tool bar but not in the pallets.

Variable fonts: Feature Variations not working
In the current version of Adobe CC, Variable fonts’ Feature Variations are not working. Please have a look at the Trial version of my typeface Pangea (https://fontwerk.com/de/fonts/pangea-superfamily):
https://christoph.koe.berlin/_temp/PangeaVAR_Trial_2.000.ttfAxes for Weight, Italic, Apertures, Extenders, Inktraps and Spacing are working, but as soon as you move the sliders of the the last axes (Single-storey a, single-storey g and Straight l) the font is marked as missing and jumps back to the basic style.
- InDesign version 16.1, MacOS 10.14.6 and above
- Steps to reproduce the issues: Install font via FontBook, move sliders in last three axes
- Expected result: Glyphs a, g, and l are exchanged
- Actual result: Glyphs a, g, and l are not exchanged, font is marked as missing and jumps back to the basic style

Picture box, dragging/moving is erratic and tricky
There is no ghosting or even greeking of the images during a move, scale, and the box often sticks and can't be dropped.

QuickLook preview?
Almost every file on my computer is a Space Bar press away from a quick glance to review it's content. Many even allow for scrolling through the pages of a pdf or presentation, but InDesign still only displays and icon. Even with "Always save Preview Images with Document" selected.
I've seen this issues being discussed back to 2007 and it still hasn't been addressed beyond "use a 3rd party"... that's a terrible answer to missing features.1 voteThis feature is available in the latest version of InDesign - InDesign 2023.

ID 2021 16.1 - Text variable shows wrong content randomly
When I use filename as text variable on the master template, the variable's output shows an incorrect value. On some pages (even Master) there are wrong letters in the filenames output, on other pages the filename ist correctly. It happens randomly in the same document. I've seen it in several documents.

textframe loses focus
Since having my computer upgraded to Catalina (10.15.7), InDesign (both 14.0.2 and 16.1) loses focus when I click off of a text frame. I’ve attached a video made in 16.1.
When I click off a graphic frame, behavior is normal—I can immediately click another element on the page. But when I click off a text frame, note how the Swatches panel disappears and I must click again on the page so InDesign regains focus so that I can then select another element on the page.1 vote -

Letters 'fl' become invisible
Adobe CC 16.1 x64
Paragraph style applied to text in text frame:
[No Paragraph Style] + next: [Same style] + Helvetica Narrow + Oblique +size: 10 pt + left indent: 0.4375 in + first indent: -0.125 - hyphenation + tint: 90% + list: bulletedWhen I type "cash flow" the fl both become invisible as soon as I type the 'l'. Does not happen with any other paragraph style. Does not show as being a different style or color or anything. Letters are still there because I can highlight the space they take up.
How can these become visible?

Can't read XML attributes from tagged image contained into table
Can't read XML attributes from tagged image contained into table.
Hello, I have some problems when I use one script Javascript to read XML attributes of tagged images contained into tables.
One XML file with data is imported into document with existing XML structure. In attached example there is a simply structure with one tagged text frame. When importing XML data, text frame contain one simply tagged table with one tagged image into one cell.
In earlier versions of Indesign (up to CC 9.2) this script works fine.
In later versions this script not read correctly these attributes: in CC2020 version script read container cell attributes; in CC2021 instead script read correct XML element but this element appears invalid.
If I first import XML file into an empty document and then tag the text frame then there is no problems!
Adobe InDesign CC2021(16.1)
MacOS Mojave 10.14.4 on Mac mini (Late 2014) 3 GHz Intel Core i71) New file from scratch
2) Add new text frame and tag it with "TEXT"
3) Import example XML file "imgattrs.xml"
4) Run script file "imgattrs.jsx"EXPECTED RESULT: read XML attributes of tag "IMG"
ACTUAL RESULT: "IMG" xmlElement is not valid.
Javascript:
var doc = app.documents[0];
var root = doc.xmlElements.firstItem();
var frame = doc.textFrames[0];var xmlelems = root.evaluateXPathExpression("//IMG");
var rectxml = xmlelems[0];
if (rectxml && rectxml.isValid) {
var attrsnames = rectxml.xmlAttributes.everyItem().name;
var attrsvalues = rect_xml.xmlAttributes.everyItem().value;
}

Cannot open 10 year old file using InDesign
I wanted to complain about the fact that I cannot open an ID-file created in 2011 using an 2021, just updated program (16.1-version), even though I need to pay for it a lot. I am working as a volunteer for a non profit organisation that operates worldwide. I am translating materials. Our organisation is small so it takes time to do the translations. How dare you change the systems so that I have less than 10 years time to benefit from the files that others in Europe have created. I think this is pathetic and greedy. Now I need to take time to recreate the template for myself that I could have got ready from our central office. This is so stupid and wrong. And by the way, it did not help to save the file as a idml-file and open it again. Why is it that updating programs always causes so much extra work for your customers? So annoying and frustrating.

InDesign 16.1 - nested styles read line break as Paragraph return.
If I place a shift-return in a paragraph with a nested style, the program reads it as a paragraph return and behaves as if the new line is an new paragraph, adding the starting nested style to the new line.
