Dialogbox "Fileinformation" nor correctly displayed
When opening the "Fileinformation" dialogbox , the box is displayed, but too big and can not be resized. When trying to moved it, it can suddenly disappear and Indesign can only be closed via Taskmanager.
This seems to be a bug existing since many years (since 2016 !!!) affecting HighDPI monitors and also being present in other Adobe CC apps:
https://helpx.adobe.com/de/illustrator/using/file-info-dialog.html
In my case it happened with latest Indesign (18.5...?), latest Win11 on a Lenovo notebook with a 15" HighDPI screen.
this makes it also imposible to read the "About Indesign
Wondering why Adobe is not able to…

PDF Export displays grey box
Adobe InDesign CC 2019 on macOS High Sierra
Currently working in a layout where I'm exporting a PDF, but one image in the document shows as a missing link (grey box) in the export.
I've tried saving the image as a png, relinking from a different location, changing the display to high quality, checked my preferences, preflight errors, and display settings, and nothing has fixed this.2 votes -
Effects / blending mode
InDesign 16.4 x Windows 64: Cannot scroll the list of blending modes with arrow key(s) and preview the results in a selected box. I've always been able to do this in the past (InDesign CS 2, 4, 6). New laptop, new Adobe subscription. I can 'scroll,' but no preview. Window closes each time, so at least 30 clicks to re-open and select through the list.
2 votesHi everyone,
The behavior mentioned here has been there since InDesign CC (that came out more than 8 years ago in 2013).
Behavior in InDesign CS6 (and earlier) was different.Please confirm if you were seeing different behavior in any of the CC versions. Illustrator also behaves the same way.

Updating to Mac OSX Mojave, Indesign now behaving slow and shortcut make new document does not work anymore
Drawing a box, moving it around etc is now a kind of laggy. Moves but slow and kind of stuttering.
The GUI overall, menus etc, behaves a bit slower as well. Not much but not as quick and responsive at it was in Sierra.
Have tried de-activating GPU but that has no difference at all.
I have the latest version, 14.0.2.
Updated to Mojave because the Adobe chat support suggested that would help out some other issues I have had.
One reason was that command + new shortcut stopped working. And now it stopped working again...Same thing happens in…

Shortcut CMD + S increasing the file size.
Files created within InDesign are increasing in size dramatically with every CMD + S.
It is not the files linked in the document which are 100 % to the ration they are seen and resetting the cache ~/Library>Caches> Adobe Indesign does not have any effect.
macOS Mojave
Version 10.14.5InDesign CC 2019
14.0.2To test this we have created a quick document with an Adobe Support Technician Saptam (see image-01). This document is 1.5 MB and when the design elements have been deleted and the file saved CMD +S you can see the file size doesn't go down (see image-02).

Text boxes only showing the line I'm editing and not the entire paragraph
Not an idea. a bug.
Come on guys this is basic stuff - can barely layout info like this.
Text boxes only showing the line I'm editing and not the entire paragraph
This is constantly happening. I'm on the latest everything. M1 MacBook Pro.I have to zoom in and zoom out to fix. This is unworkable. Just get the basics right guys... Adobe is impossible for reasons like this. If you can't get the basics right - don't bother developing new features. No wonder Apple think you develop below par software. This is your job to develop software that…

[ID 17.2.20] Import xlsx spreadsheet: formatted numbers are truncated
MacOS 10.15.7 (19H1824) French localization
InDesign 17.2.0.20 (17200)
Excel 16.58 (16.58.22021501)When importing an Excel sheet as a table, every number is truncated before the first thousand separator (which is a space in French).
1 457 will be imported as 1
21 457 >> 21
(21 457) >> (21
-210 457 >> -210
621 457 >> 621
and so on…After a lot of tests on several configurations and discussions on the Adobe forum, I can say that the issue will only occur on French macOS systems, starting with Catalina. No matters what version of InDesign is used (15.0 thru…

Running very slow
InDesign CC 2023: no matter what settings (I.e. how many times I change the display performance to fast or turn off a lot of features) there is still a 5-7 second delay on every single keystroke, every cursor movement, every selection, etc. etc. That is, if it doesn't just freeze altogether. My document is only 21 pages with minimal text and the images shouldn't be displayed at full resolution anyway, so there's no reason it should be this laggy. No other adobe program has this problem for me at the moment. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, that didn't work.…

fontproblem – strange ligatures – invisible font
Hi there
In InDesign CC23 we have the problem that we sometimes have some issues with ligatures. We have the font Minion Pro activates in the Library. and somehow have the problem, that the ligatures appear to be a completely different character, see the screenshot.
the problem could be resolved by deleting the Minion Font from the application folder > Ressources > Required > Fonts. the Ligatures changed back to the correct character. Or i deactivate the minion regular in the finder. But i need the font for other apps as well, so i need to activate the regular font…5 votes -
zoom scroll pan
Make it so Windows version of Adobe programs are capable of all gestures such as zoom and pan/scroll. This works perfectly fine on my MacBook, but on Windows I'm only able to chose if I can scroll/pan or zoom, but cannot zoom and pan. This makes working with the program extremely difficult and infuriating when it's such a simple feature that works in every other basic program.

Can't access free templates
If you create software, and have templates that are labeled free. There should be no reason why I need a adobe stock account to access FREE TEMPLATES!!
If it requires said license, it should say, REQUIRES ADOBE STOCK LICENCE
If you are going to offer a product and put a paywall subscription behind it, that you can't access. What is the point of paying for a product that you can't access FREE content or basic options to try out.
Who ever designed that, needs to re-word it.
As you can tell, not a happy client.
Thanks

Publish Online documents have become very slow to load
Since the dashboard update, analytics 'since published' will NOT load.
We're also noticing publish online documents are very slow to load initially.
I'm presuming this is all server side issues at Adobe and would like to know if its being fixed.
Are you forcing browsers to cache online publications before loading?
These are both major issues that might force us to see alternative solutions if not fixed soon.
