InDesign 16.2.1 + Mojave still missing Create New Folder (cmd+shift+N) and Show Original (cmd+R)
Adobe please fix this issue. It very frustrating that you can not create folder inside open/save window dialog with a shortcut. Every other program allows that. Am I the only one that is using keyboard shortcuts? This bug is there now for about half a year. Is it really so hard to fix this? Pleeeeeease.

InDesign v 16.1, Mac OS 11.2.3 on M1 laptop. Adobe Typekit does not consistently load fonts into InDesign.
Please check the Typekit usage and activation in InDesign. This is a huge problem that is slowing me down. I am trying to load Freight Neo Pro and it is missing intermittently from my files. Other fonts from Typekit have also done the same thing. I also use Suitcase Fusion to manage my own installed Fonts.

Windows #@$!*&%^((@@)):[[
Hello to the Adobe InDesign Geniuses! I write this with a heavy heart, I have been a mac holdout/Windows Defender when it comes to Adobe products (Photoshop) since the Mid 1990's If I had to guess, 1995 or 1996. I LOVE Adobe Products and have a huge distaste for Mac. I am reaching a breaking point with Windows, they are trying to make an OS SOOO much more and constantly causing problems, I just had to re install windows on 5 computers due to the latest update that I have yet to have one Windows tech support expert agree as…

Major delay when changing page via the page up/down or double-clicking on the page icon
Major delay when changing page via the page up/down or double-clicking on the page icon. Usually happens when you have first opened a document. For example when you apply the keyboard command Opt-Pagedown, the icon on the bottom left of the screen immediately shows the page has changed but nothing happens. Sometimes it wont redraw the new page until you click on the screen and this only works after some time has passed (approx 6-8 seconds after). This was always instant in previous versions. My settings for view are on >Typical and I have Type Contextual Control set to >OFF.

page number
Dear Adobe Team,
InDesign 16.3.2 seems to have an issue showing previous and next page numbers.
I draw a textbox > special characters menu > mark > previous/next page number > page number is included. Except it only shows the current page number.
It would be nice know if I made a mistake or if this is a bug.

Hidden content in pdf export
Adobe InDesign CC 2017. While exporting the file into a PDF. In the PDF while searching for a word I found some sort of ghost fields (picture ghostfields.png). Then I found out that the problem is caused by graphics that we use internally. There are mostly more than just one graphic in one Illustrator file (picture illustratorfile.png). It is saved as an ai, not eps. InDesign exports the parts of those graphics that are actually not visible in InDesign (picture error2.png). I could not find out why, or how to solve it. And because of those ghost field you can…

Nav bar size change ruins my web app layout
Adobe have recently made the Nav bar at the bottom of the Publish Online interface fatter, unfortunately for my company, this means a carefully crafted web-app now has the Nav bar covering the lower part of my menu. It also on some PO documents, stays popped-up for much longer than 5 seconds, sometimes on single page documents, up to 15 seconds.
Adobe say this is because they wanted to improve accessibility, but really they're messing with a space that shouldn't keep changing, as per the margin around PO documents they added earlier in the year. Improve the products - yes,…1 vote -
Cannot turn auto-fit to default
I am using Adobe InDesign CC 2018 13.0 for macOS (10.13.1). It seems that the auto-fit is default turned off right now. I changed the setting in Objet-Fitting-Framing Fitting Options and checked the box of Auto-fit with no documents open.
However, I am still unable to set auto fit into default.
Thank you.

I work with book interiors. Have been reading about the nightmares designers have had adjusting the margins of text boxes
I am not a cool millennial but I work with book interiors. Have been reading about the nightmares designers have had adjusting the margins of text boxes once there are several hundred pages and changing the master pages doesn't alter the actual position of the text boxes. Can I agree with the comments attached below -- to you Adobe company people -- don't **** off loyal users who were using Adobe before the millenials were born -- PLEASE STOP taking away features!!!!! I have recently updated to ID2021. Am I still going to have this bug -- as I now…

InDesign 17.0 crashes on launch after removing a previously installed CEP Extension
Steps to reproduce in InDesign 17.0:
- Install a CEP extension folder manually to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions
- Launch then quit InDesign
- Delete CEP extension folder installed in step 1
- Launch InDesign, it will crash when "Starting up panels"
As a workaround deleting the following cache folder allows InDesign to launch again.

InDesign sometimes crashes when saving, packaging, or exporting a file. It then corrupts file, removing content (entire text boxes are now empty). This is destroying files and setting me back hours in my workflow.

Using a variable font and exporting to PDF results in corrupted outlines in text
When using a variable font in InDesign v17.0.1 and exporting to PDF, the resulting file contains text with corrupted outlines. '.notdef' boxes get inserted into some glyphs as can be seen in the attached PDF.
This error also occurs in Illustrator.
When exporting to PDF using a non-Adobe application, no errors are seen.
Errors occur only when using variable version of the font an not the static versions.
Additional information and test fonts have been sent in an email to Josh Hadley.

Serious GREP style bug: ampersands
Hi, InDesign team.
I've run into a serious bug with GREP styles. Any GREP expression containing an ampersand character that is entered as a GREP style in a paragraph style will suddenly acquire additional ampersands whenever I scroll through the list of GREP styles.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Create a simple GREP style as part of a paragraph style.
The entire GREP expression should consist of the single character &. (Though this also happens when the & is part of longer expressions.)
Make enough other GREP styles that you need to scroll in the window to see them all.
Close the…5 votesThanks for reporting. We’ll review this shortly.

Logitech mouse zoom in/out not working
I am on a Mac (Sequoia) using Adobe InDesign (20.1) with a Logitech MX Master 3 (and Logi Options+ version 1.85.655119). For years, I've been able to use the thumb wheel of my mouse to zoom in and out (assigned in Logi Options+), but for some reason in the past month or so, this functionality stopped working. I've uninstalled/reinstalled Adobe + Logi apps, ensured firmware is current, etc. This is a major workflow efficiency killer — would love to see it resolved.
