2023 | Indesign 14.00 (2019) was the last known version to successfully export interactive elements to PDF
A bug with Traditon! Happy Birthday you are four years old.
That since the end of 2019, interactive animated element can no longer output, I had unfortunately recently forgotten (Earlier I had done that more often)! So: Once again I have invested time, things pretty animated, only to realize that the bug still exists!
Say: All these pretty functions are pointless and useless.
They are purely for the optics still there, chic to look at .... but unfortunately not intended for use (something I know with Adobe Illustrator for a long time).The solution Support suggested at the time was…

ID 14.0.2: Fonts menu STILL collapses while browsing through the list of fonts.
Despite upgrading to ID 14.0.2, the same bug happens as described there: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/35736199-typekit-or-adobe-fonts-or-fonts-menu-collapses-w
The bug happens with my personnal font collection. So far I haven't used TypeKit. I'm using FontXplorer 6.0.6. Last High Sierra version on a iMac 3,1 Ghz Late 2011.
On top of that, the font selection tool skips some fonts while browsing the fontlist.
This is an ABSOLUTE nightmare.
Thanks for your help.

Balance Ragged Lines and Nested Line Styles
- All Versions of Adobe InDesign up to CC 2018. macOS.
- A paragraph is formated with "Balance Ragged Lines" and single lines are formated with "Nested Line Styles"
- The lines shoud be formated as they are actual wrapped.
- The words are formated, as they would built lines, if balance ragged lines were not enabled.
- In the screenshot the second line is colored by a nested line style. The first word in the second line remains black, because it is wrapped around by balance ragged lines.

UI Contextual Interface
Contextual Menu
In the latest update to the application, support for contextual UI interface management has actually got worse.
I utilise a 'dual screen' like many, may designer. I find it unbelievable that Adobe continue to ignore professional reporting of your bugs and lack of real support for the program.
Indesign's lack of contextual UI management is poor, inadequate and pretty much makes using dual screen even more difficult than the last release.
Today, 31/01/2021 (Australia). I find that clicking on the type panel (which I have setup on the right monitor - displays the dropdown for the font size…

InDesign 2017 file on file server with High Sierra
We have Panzura file servers here and anytime we try to open an InDesign file with CC 2017 it completely crashes any mac that tries to open it, immediate kernel panic with both InDesign and Finder being the cause. So we tried to copy the files to the desktop and open them from there, no dice.
How on earth did Adobe not catch this bug? You guys had 3 months access at least to the dev prereleases like the rest of the software vendors, this is pretty unacceptable.

Bug: Cannot cancel or requeue background tasks, ID keeps activating fonts for good
Indesign 2024, Windows 10.
Problem 1: even with Adobe Fonts being activated, ID 2024 starts to activate fonts it finds in \Fonts folder, doing that for good and the tasks cannot be canceled.
Problem 2: other tasks, like PDF export, are then queued and cannot be processed at all unless you could move them up the queue, which doesn't work.2 votes -

When converting type to outlines on a curve, the text breaks.
Adobe InDesign 17.0
Restarted, reinstalled, removed preferences. Nothing corrects this error.
Ideally the type would be as show before the type is converted to outlines. Instead this happens: https://www.screencast.com/t/fQxHtfNE

ID window stutters when minimizing on MacBook Air M2 running StageManager
I know you're working on making ID run natively on the M2 chip. One glitch...when minimizing the app on my new MacBook Air M2 /Ventura, the ID window stutters as it shrinks to the desktop -- instead of smoothly moving as other apps. This happens with all my Adobe apps, but it's most noticeable with InDesign. It's a minor glitch but visually annoying.
