InDesign Windows all over the shop
I am currently using three screens for my work. Whenever I select a window from the menu, the flyouts appear in a hidden or hard-to-see location on any of my screens, usually in the bottom left corner. As a result, I can only see the header of the flyout, which becomes problematic when it is hidden behind other flyouts.
In my opinion, when a window/flyout is selected from the menu, it should appear in the centre of the active screen and on top for easy visibility.

Pantone Solid Spot colors added from InDesign to a CC Library become Magenta Process colors in Illustrator
I already reported this on the Illustrator uservoice site, but did not see any reaction so far. I think it is a big bug when (spot) colors color cannot be shared reliably between Adobe applications:
A Pantone Solid Spot color (or any Lab spot color) added to a CC library in InDesign will become 100% Magenta CMYK Process color in the Swatches panel when added from the CC library by double clicking in Illustrator.

can't see content when opening file, covered with red or black blocks or lines
Issue started with upgrade to InDesign 16.2.1 that when I open file, content appears blank or covered with red or black blocks or lines. I have to repeatedly resize the window in order to work on the page. I also noticed issues when editing text. It only allows me to edit text that is one or two lines above where the cursor appears—very frustrating!

InDesign remains as front window even when another application is active (like right now when I am typing)
MacOS14 has been released, and many of us have upgraded so as to be able to use it. However, many Adobe products have not come unaffected through the transition. Could Adobe please fix the issues (flickering, windows acting like panels and floating above the active application like happening right now with InDesign).

Close/Minimize/Maximize buttons are hidden under the top menu on Mac OS
For some reason the very top bar of the InDesign window is hidden underneath the top menu (File, Edit, etc.), making it impossible to minimize or move the window to another monitor. Currently the only solution I've found is to unplug my external monitor's HDMI cable from my Macbook which forces the InDesign window to appear properly.

text box resizing causes document to shift in window
I have an issue now that has never come up before I updated to 20.5.1. When I try to resize a text box or image box, the document shifts down and the content box is shifted up. The video shows it better. I then discovered that if I create a new text box, delete it, then create another new text box and delete that one, the issue goes away. I closed and re-opened the document, and the issue was still gone. Have not had it happen enough to know if it will recur at a later time.

AIGPUSniffer quit unexpectedly every time I launch Indesign CC 14.0.1
I am using Indesign CC14.0.1 on a MAC - OS Mojave V 10.14.1
Whenever I launch Indesign I get a crash pop up saying AIGPU Sniffer has quit unexpectedly.
Indesign is fine to work in however I am fed up with this AIGPU issue coming up all the time and don't know if it is effecting anything else?
I've had loads of issues with the latest CC - really not impressed Adobe! Any suggestions on how to stop this happening?7 votesThanks for reporting the issue to us. We are currently investigating the issue.

No option to hide the Application Bar in 2020
I noticed in 2020 there is no longer the menu option under the Window menu to hide the Application Bar. I'm not sure why this was removed, for people who don't use it it's just in the way and unnecessary especially when you're trying to use InDesign on a small screen, every inch of screen space counts. Im sure there are people out there that use it, and that's great, I'm sure they find it useful in someway, but we all use the application differently so please allow us the ability to turn it on and off.

Share for Review - Critical Scrolling Bug with Large Documents
Indesign Version 17.0
When scrolling in large documents (200-500 pages) the browser-window of Share for Review the screen hops between 3-5 different screens multiple times a second. This bug makes the feature basically unusable. Sometimes it snaps back (maybe after rendering correctly?), sometimes it just doen't.
The bigger the document, the faster the error seems to occur. Working on my 200 page-document with my team is essentially impossible right now.
There is a post about this over here with a video: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/share-for-review-scrolling-bug-with-large-document/m-p/12516079#M452898

Workspace disappearing and not being able to get it back
Sometimes all my right-handed Tools, that I carefully assembled in a workspace i like, disappear, like pages, Colors etc. Although being able to click them in den Window-Menu, nothing appears. The only way to get them back is to change to another workspace and re-create my own workspace piece by piece, which then might last a few weeks before not being able to use them again.
Any ideas what goes wrong here?
What should i check?Kind regards, Thomas

publishing not working in chrome, FF
I am using indesign 13.1. I have several published documents that are suddenly not working in FF and Chrome, but are working in Safari.
For example, click on read now on this page:
https://merce-cunningham-bm.now.sh/history-detailor this page:
https://sfarts.org/monthly.cfm
In Chrome -- nothing happens. But those pages work in Safari.
Those two documents were created by different companies, so it is not an indesign intallation issue, as the support chat person insisted.
These pages have been working well for a long time.
I am the only one affected by this? Seems unlikely....

I've restarted indesign, restarted my laptop, reinstalled, and my swatch panel keeps bugging out and looking like this, even when moved to different spots in the ui. Please help! Running version 18.1

bug
"In the 'Advanced' workspace ('Geavanceerd'), the 'Swatches' panel ('Stalen') does not open; instead, the 'Links' panel ('Koppelingen') always opens. In the 'Essentials Classic' workspace ('Essentiële werkruimte – Klassiek') it works correctly. This issue occurs in the Dutch-language version of InDesign and seems to be a bug in the workspace configuration."

17.0.1 crashes adding links
Every time I try to add or change a link in the links panel, InDesign crashes.
I restart InDesign and it tells my my file might be damaged. Do I still want to open it.
I open it. All seems ok. Try to change a link again, and InDesign crashes.
This is so frustrating!!

"Balance Ragged Lines" does nothing
When activating it on the Paragraph panel or in the Paragraph styles, there's no change in the paragraph at all.
I'm using MacOS 10.15.4 (19E287), and the latest version of InDesign 15.0.2.
2 votesWhen Composer (in Paragraph panel flyout menu) is set to Adobe Paragraph Composer, “Balance Ragged Lines” works correctly. It won’t work with Adobe Single-Line Composer.

nested style does not appear
When creating a new Style using the Nested Styles dropdown, the new style does not appear in the Styles Panel. I need to remove a number of unused styles created using the Nested Styles dropdown method, but since they don't show up in the Styles Panel, there is no way to remove them.
