File Info box not displaying CC2020 15.1.1
File Info box not displaying when trying to add metadata. CC2020 15.1.1, Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5, external Dell monitor. I have tried reopening and overwriting preference files then restart. I have tried deleting library cache for cc15 and then restart. I have disconnected external monitor and restarted. Only solution has been to reopen as cc2019 doc and add there, but some clients make additional changes in 2020 and send back so I still have same issue. I keep having to force quit to get program to restart each time I try and open file info.

Crash: book-panel shows unopened file as opened, when saving Indesign crashes
I noticed an issue with the book panel.
For some reason sometimes it shows the icon for "file is open" on some files even though they're not opened in Indesign.When I open and want to save them, Indesign want me to define a filelocation again. It seems that Indesign lost the connection to the original file then.
When saving the file (I usually overwrite the existing one) Indesign crashes.
See attached screenshot for the "opened file"-icon in the book panel.

Tables and text randomly disappear in Adobe InDesign document
While working in Adobe InDesign, tables and text frames intermittently disappear from the document, even though their frames and guides are still visible. As shown in the attached image, content that should be displayed (tables and text) is no longer visible on the page layout.
This issue occurs during normal editing and navigation of the document and does not appear to be related to hidden layers or visibility settings. The problem affects document review and editing, making it difficult to verify content accuracy.

Image tagged with sRGB, but InDesign assigns AdobeRGB (Workspace) and displays incorrect colors
I´m using Indesign 13.0.1 x64
To recreate please use the following steps (I have AdobeRGB as Working-space and preserve profiles):
1. Create a new document
2. Place the attached Image "Portrait_Edip-original.jpg"
3. Look for the Profile in the links-panelThe image has sRGB but displays as Workspace RGB but my workspace is AdobeRGB and also the colors are incorrect.
Bridge and Photoshop both show the right profile.
When i open the image in Photoshop and save it as jpeg it works in InDesign.I have this issue from time to time but now i´m sure it´s a bug.

Separations Preview is not displaying any values
EDIT:
I appear to have resolved the issue by uninstalling some Dell software that was pre-installed on my workstation. Why or how that would interfere with InDesign I have no idea but colour this resolved.original post
I'm having an issue with the Separations Preview panel not showing any percentage values, it's just blank. I think it started after updating from 20.3 to 20.3.1; but I installed versions back to 19.0 to test and it strangely seems to be effecting those versions too.
Widows 11, all updates current.

Ventura Indesign file not found
I have a number of files when I double click them to open, I get an error saying "<file name> not found. If I make a copy of the file, I can then open it. I don't know it that's an InDesign issue or a Ventura issue.

Variable Font: top of "U" wiggles as you change weight (FreeType bug)
Download and unzip https://www.dropbox.com/s/3b6k0izkm5ma3dy/200719-AdobeVFBug.zip?dl=1
Install the font from font/DaikonVF-mini.ttf
Run InDesign 15.1.1
Type "AU" and choose the Daikon VF font
Click the Variable Font button and move the weight slider between the extreme locations. Observe how the top of "U" "wiggles" (jumps up and down). This is shown in videos/DaikonVF-InDesign-15.1.1.mp4
The same problem occurs in Illustrator 24.2.1 and I have logged it at https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/40945024-variable-font-bug-wiggling-top-of-u
The same problem occurs in DTL OTmaster 7.9 and in FontView 2019 (an open source app built from https://github.com/googlefonts/fontview ) — both apps use older versions of the FreeType library.
The problem no longer occurs in…

SmartStream crash
We are experiencing an issue where InDesign v21 will crash while we are using HP SmartStream Designer. This occurs when we start creating an imposed job, and will fail at different times with our templates. We notice this occurs predominately with the 6x9 postcard template.
This happens often enough to where we are hesitant to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign, as we are not having this issue with v19. We have tried remaking the template file, which did not fix the issue. Is this a known bug? What steps would be best for us to try next?

Cursor clicking and dragging when only clicking.
When just clicking somewhere on-screen (e.g. clicking a different swatch colour or clicking on a text box), sometimes the cursor will click and drag the item as well. I have tried multiple mice (3) and still have the same issue with each one, making me assume it may be a software issue.

In Arabic OpenType-SVG fonts, glyphs shift seemingly randomly in all directions
In Arabic fonts with SVG table, glyphs move up, down, left, and right seemingly randomly, and typing more text or adding vowel marks change how the glyphs are shifted.
If the fonts are processed to remove the SVG table, they work fine (but color glyphs are not colored, obviously).
Illustrator and Photoshop do not have this issue, and the font with SVG table works normally.
I tested this with https://github.com/aliftype/raqq/blob/main/fonts/Raqq.ttf as well as https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Reem+Kufi+Ink.
Text used in the screenshot:

stroke window - drop down menu options
Indesign 20.5
In the stroke window there is functionality issue in the drop down menus - 'type' and 'start/end' for arrows etc. The drop down menu does not stay open to select an option. Very annoying and can't add arrows to lines. Also noticing the issue is in the toolbar as well for strokes.1 vote -
Type is shifting inside text box upon moving.
I've been noticing when I use the type tool, I can fill it as normal. Style things with the appropriate fonts/colors but should I move the box it self to a new location the spacing above the font will grow or shrink and shift everything inside that text box. It almost acts like it is adjusting like it has text flow around an image feature selected. Sometimes remove all the styles then re-applying them will fix it but this is issue had been annoying me for maybe the past 2 months.

Window Resizing Bug
InDesign 18.2.1 on MacOS 12.3.1 (have been having the same issue for the past few ID updates)
When application frame is turned off so that document windows float, document windows cannot be resized as expected. When dragging one edge, other sides of the window resize themselves – example .mov attached.

Adobe Indesign Ruler - Corrupt Display
Adobe Indesign Ruler - Corrupt Display.
When opening a document and mousing thru the document the display of the ruler starts to add "marks" in the measurements.
We have been able to reproduce this in versions 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018.
We have gone and used the rename "enUS" method and it only works temporarily.
The issue is sporadic and can happen on new documents or old.
Also sporadic through out the versions as well - same document can happen on one version and not another version.
All application updates have been applied as well as Mac OS updates for…4 votes
