Object does not stay in center of document after resizing document format
Hello, I found some weird issues in Indesign CC 13.1 on Mac OS El Capitan.
When I place an object centerd in the middle of a document (for example
500 x 500 px) and I resize the document size to for example 700 x 700 px (something larger than 500 x 500), the Object won't stay in the middle, but moves to the right or left border - even I set the reference point within the transform-window to "middle" and also disable "double page".Why does the object not stay centered at the document format?
I attached a PDF-File…2 votesHave you tried enabling the “Layout Adjustment” feature and then carrying out change of Page size?
Thanks,

Searching for fonts by Japanese name in the context taskbar is not reflected.
Windows 10/11
InDesign Ver. 20.0This is a trouble when searching for a font by keyboard input of the font name on the context taskbar and selecting from those listed.
When searching by Kanji, Japanese, etc., the search is not reflected as a search list and returns to the font before the search was entered.
If the font name is alphanumeric, it is normal, but if the font name is not alphanumeric, it cannot be searched.Original text (Japanese):
コンテキストタスクバーでフォント名をキーボード入力して検索し、リストアップされるものから選ぶ場合のトラブルです。
漢字や日本語などで検索をかけると、検索一覧として反映できず、検索入力する前のフォントに戻ります。
英数字名のフォントであれば正常ですが、英数字名以外のフォント名が検索できない、という状態になっています。7 votes -
sign out
Trying to sign out of my personal account and log into the agency account. When I click "sign out" a window pops up and then disappears. I don't get signed out. I cleared cookies and signed out on web- no dice. Think I have to delete and reinstall software just to sign into a different login...

Linking Issues Between Mack and Windows
Our team is experiencing broken links in files saved on our network between Mac and Windows users. How do we seamlessly link documents between the two different operating systems? When I open a file on my Mac and save it and a Windows user tries to access the same file, the links are broken. The type of server we are on is a Windows Server 2008 R2.

Error when pasting hex color code with #
When pasting a hex code with a hash character prefix (#) in InDesign 18.3 (macOS 12.6.8) you get an error that it is a incorrect color format. Even if I try to "correct" the pasted text by removing the hash character, I can‘t get InDesign to accept the pasted color code.
This annoying "bug" applies to the color window/palette.

Crash of InDesign CC25 resetting the settings to default
Hi There,
I experienced several crashes the last days, that is one thing, but I had to make all the settings made in the Workspace, the shortcuts, the general settings again after each crash. this is so annoying.
Well I know you can export your usersettings, but it does not work properly as it seems, the scaling of the UI does not apply as exported.
It is frustating that such things make errors within a half year of CC25…System: macOS 15.4.1 (2020, M1-Chip)

Scaling problem multiple monitors
InDesign Version: 19.4
Open InDesign on an external monitor (on Mac OS–Sonoma)Problem:
InDesign is in many cases unusable for me, because the window sometimes just scales itself down to a very tiny size without any reason.
Sometimes it happens when I try to zoom in in a document and in many other situations too.1 vote -

Printing a document with variable fonts garbles them
(I sent test fonts to Josh Hadley at Adobe yesterday, i.e. Aktiv Grotesk VF)
- Select variable font from the menu (e.g. Aktiv Grotesk VF)
- Select world-ready composer
- Select a couple different instances from the drop-down or select an instance via the slider (e.g. Black, Bold, Regular, Light) and set some text in each
- Print the page from InDesign on a PostScript printer
See the attached image. What should happen is that the repeating blocks of text should be set in the different instances you selected in step 3. They are replaced by a random font instead, only the first instance…

Oswald Book Font Installed on Windows but doesn't work in InDesign
I am using InDesign CC 14.0 for Windows 7 and I am having trouble with a font called Oswald. I have 3 fonts from the family Oswald installed on my computer (book, light, and bold). However, Oswald Book does not work in InDesign. It works in Illustrator and Microsoft Word so it appears to be an InDesign issue rather than a font installation issue.

Blank Document/Pasteboard when Display Profile Changes
When the display profile changes, i.e., when using automatic profile switching when room lighting changes (Spyder), document pages and any items on the pasteboard disappear. The rest of the UI remains the same.
The 'fix' suggested elsewhere is to turn GPU preview off. However, when you do that, clicking on the document/pasteboard makes both flash white and can also make the document jump leftward to the edge of the window.
The only real fixes are to close and reopen the document(s) or restart InDesign.
And just in case anyone is tempted to suggest I stop using Spyder or any…
