Cannot Pan/Scroll with WACOM pen in Open/Save/Place file dialogue windows.
Cannot Pan/Scroll with Wacom pen in Open/Save/Place type file dialogue windows in mmany if not all of Adobe apps (where every other non-Adobe app I know of does, Apple and other 3rd parties), obviously this pertains to when you've mapped a Wacom pen button to pan/scroll to use in that manner (Wacom settings screen attached).
What should happen is being able to interact similar to touch omnidirectional swiping which includes vertical mouse-like scrolling when pressing the button and making contact with the pen, as would be expected and Wacom designed it to do.
What instead happens: Adobe apps interpret this…

Password protect bug
The new password protect feature worked fine on the 25th April.
However I've noticed a bug on a document I was testing today 27 April.The same document was showing a 'access denied' page though would allow me to see page past page 1.
Page 1 would not load.
The same thing happened on a newly uploaded version of that document.
The document has 16 pages with animation to the first page.
This error happened across safari and chrome browsers.
The document works fine when re-uploaded without password protection.2 votes -

Not all spaces are rendered correctly with World-Ready Composer
The narrow no-break space (U+202F) is not rendered correctly when the World-Ready Composer is used: its width becomes equal to a normal space, instead of being thin.
See attachment for illustration (the problem occurs regardless of the font used), reproduced with InDesign v16.4.
This problem is maybe related to https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/41793187-bug-since-cs6-nonbreaking-space-s-issue-wit

Error Code 6: Could not complete your request because of a database error. The file <filename> is damaged
Working off remotely off a server (been doing it this way for years without issue). Today, I tried to open my InDesign file and it only partially loaded (with some linked images missing). Then I get the prompt "Could not complete your request because of a database error. The file "Ebook-3WaysToHoseYourAD-US-GM-32410.indd" is damaged (Error code:6).

"Windows version 1709 not supported" yet, "You must update your system to install InDesign v15.0"
Hi Adobe Team - Searching your site it sounds like Windows 10 should not be a barrier to working in the latest version of InDesign, but I am unable to install InDesign v15.0 on my work computer.
My Creative Cloud Desktop window displays the below message in quotes:

Severe performance issues
Using Version 14.0.3 on a MacBook Pro. Every time I try to switch from one object to another the program gives me a spinning wheel of death for about a minute (sometimes more...sometimes I have to force quit/restart). I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app completely. This happens regardless of the document that I have open, even just a text document with no images, etc. There is no crash, the program just freezes entirely.

Adobe InDesign list panels unusable + Mouse click outside InDesign window not working.
After I type any value by keyboard entering on a dialogue box (like font size, transparency, color tone, font spacing etc), all InDesign list panels become unusable: list elements (swatches, fonts etc) slip away from mouse selection like they were anchored to cursor.
In the video:
1. two panels working correctly (not important which panels, the issue appears on ANY panel);
2. typing of a random value on a random box (not important which box, the issue appears after ANY keyboard entering on ANY box);

shift command does not work for scaling
I think others have had this problem but I can't find a current stream. I can not scale proportionately an image or text by holding the Shift and Command keys and dragging. I am running CC 15.1.2 I tried to revert back to the previous version with no luck. I tried this with a couple of versions. Is there an issue with IOS 10.15.6? I think that just updated as well.

inserting page
I'm working on a document which is around 100 pages. so far i was able to insert pages or a spread to the document without any issue but since yesterday, if i'm tryint to insert a page, its getting inserted not in the line of the spread but away from it.
I'm not sure if the problem is understandable, so i am attaching a few screenshots.
Asked around to a few colleagues, but no one has faced such issue before.1 vote -
copy
Allow normal use of copy and paste with system-wide shortcuts from PDF comments. Most of the time I try to copy text from a PDF comment to paste into a document, the selection disappears and no "copy" option appears. I need to be able to copy and paste text from comments as easily as any other text. This issue is seen in 17.2.1 on an M1 iMac running Monterey 12.3.1.
