Can't rename object in 2022
Same issue like here, but posting this again to get a response to this, because the response below that post is a big joke. The admin assumes that the bug report is too stupid to rename an object. But the gif clearly shows that 1. the admin hat the window arranged differently and 2. in the gif with the bug you see the rename window flickering.
I did the work adobe should do and tested it a bit.
The result is different depending on if the windows is floating, docked or expanded. Float and expand works, dock not.

split layout view, copy, paste, undo, paste without formatting, crash
Reproducable crash in InDesign when working in split layout view.
1) move to split layout view
2) copy text from right window
3) Ctrl V in left window
4) Ctrl Z to undo
5) Ctrl-Shift V to paste without formatting
6) crash (the expected result here obviously being InDesign not crashing but pasting the text without formatting).Filed multiple reports from these crashes.
Currently working on PC with Win10 and InDesign 18.2 x64, but this has happened on both Mac and PCs, with 2 different employers as well as privately (and thus 3 different server/hard drive configurations), clean installs as…

Presentation mode is not entering fullscreen and hiding the UI
Using InDesign on Windows 10. Recently (perhaps with the last CC update to 13.0.1 x64?) preview mode is no longer working as expected.
Whether using shift+W or via the menu, instead of full-screen document + black background (expected behaviour for Presentation mode), InDesign instead appears to be going into Preview mode, where the UI remains onscreen. The pasteboard is changing to black, however, the UI remains instead of full-screen mode.

Drag and Drop from MacOS Preview App
I would love to be able to drag and drop images from the macOS Preview app instead of having to drag and drop images from finder. When the images imported aren't named properly it can be annoying to find the right one. Usually I have images opened in the Preview app and would love to just be able to drag and drop them from there.

Cannot Export in PDF format
Adobe InDesign version: 16.0.1 x64
Platform: Windows 10, Version 20H2 (build SO 19042.685)
Problem:
Suddenly, from a couple of days, I cannot export in PDF format anymore.
When trying to export a file, I receive the message "Failed to Export PDF" (or something similar, I use the Italian version) – see image 1.It doesn’t matter the settings in the export window, I tried almost all the combinations, but the PDF generation fails.
I can export in.jpeg, for example, but it is not useful for me.Infos:
The same file has been successfully exported just a couple of…3 votes -
Place; inconsequent text string in dialog
When choosing File -> Place the dialog says "Open" on the selected item. In stead of "Place"
In training on indesign i allways have to explain this. We can only Open indesign files, but we can Place other media. The dialog window should use the term Place.1 vote -
InDesign v15.1 slow to open and poor performance generally
Another decrease in performance between v15.0 (whcih was already very slow compared to v14) and v15.1 on Windows 10 x64 with a very high-spec workstation.
Particularly frustrating is when you click on the icon in the taskbar to launch the app it appears as though nothing has happened and takes 30 seconds or so before the splash screen appears and the app appears to have launched. By which time you usually tried launching it again a few times!

Right to Left paragraph tool
I've got a ME supporting CC but the 2017 versions of pretty much every Adobe program I've encountered is faulty when it comes to middle east features... even when it has support, it's very hard to find.
My InDesign supports world-ready single lines and I even somehow managed to get the right-to-left/left-to-right icons on my paragraph window, but after re-installing InDesign, I lost it and I can't get it back.
Please make this easier to use. It's very hard for middle eastern-character using people to work like this.

Cross-Reference won't save a <cs style="stylename"></cs> format. It just strips the tag out of the data.
Before updating to the latest version of ID, I would get an error each time I tried to use the <cs> tag to format a cross-reference. It wouldn't let me save the data.
Now it lets me save the data, but it just strips the tag out.
I have a character setting called Bold.
I defined a cross-reference format as:
<cs style="Bold"><fullPara /></cs> on page <pageNum />I save it, and I click OK. Then I reopen the format page, and it says the following:
<fullPara /> on page <pageNum />It's like the tag never existed. No matter what…

Drag and drop of master pages between documents not working as expected
Indesign 20.5, Windows 11
Problem: it's possible to drag & drop a master page from one opened document to another opened document, but only if the documents are arranged side by side. For comparison: in Photoshop, if you want to copy a layer between documents, you can simply grab it, move the mouse pointer to the other document's tab, which would then switch to that document and then you drop. Not so with Indesign. In the same way of thinking it should be possible to drag & drop ID layers between documents, but this doesn't work at all.
