Extension Manager can't be found in Mac version of Indesign 2018
I'd noticed that OpenAsset was always opening without me installing it. I close the window, it pops back up. I don't want to use that extension, but can no longer find the extension manager to turn it off. I tried using the extension dropdown to uncheck OpenAsset, but it just reopens a few minutes later.

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...

Save as... drop-/pulldown menu not working
Dropdown menu for saving as IDML file is not working. I have this problem for some (2-3?) years now. I have waited in hope it would be solved in a coming update, but after all those years it is still not solved. Therefore this bug entry.
I tried resetting the preferences (Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift) but this does not change anything and the problem remains.

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 -

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)

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…

CC libraries
CC Libraries doesn't load up properly, the drop down menu only stays open if I hold down left click on the mouse and doesn't load the library I want when I release.
This bug has only come since the most recent update to CC2018 13.1. Running High Sierra on an iMac Pro 2017

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.

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…

Anchored text box in a table cell with text threads crashes when cutting
As the title says. It sounds similar to past bugs.
First, create a text box and add a table.
Create a separate, new text box and add a single character in it.
Anchor the text box to any cell in the table.
Enable "Show Text Threads" from the View > Extras menu.
Selecting and attempting to cut the table will lead to a long hang and crash.This is on the latest version of InDesign at the moment, 17.0. I am on Windows 10 20H2 19042.1288. I can verify this occurring on two separate systems.
I've included a video…6 votesHi,

Creating a new Cross Reference - Automatic select [All Paragraphs]
When creating a new Cross Reference entry, the windows that pop automatically pick [All Paragraphs] and in document with many table or lots of text frame, this can take very, very.... long time before the window popup.
This was introduced with CC 18.1 and is still the case up to now with CC22 (17.1).
It was ok with CC20017.
I have been reporting this behavior since April 2019 and for each release.

Layout drop down does not work
When I click on the layout menu dropdown and select any of the options like move pages, delete, duplicate, etc. Nothing happens. I have the most recent version of InDesign. I also get a default option when I click on the File drop down options and requires me to restart so I can save, export to pdf etc.. This is incredibly frustrating.

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.

Keyboard input problem
Windows 10. ID 14.0.1
This is similar to the 'missing first character' issue many of us have seen in the past. What happens, randomly, your keyboard input doesn't quite work. You can try various shortcuts and they simply will not work. You have to create (or go into) a text box, type some text.. and THEN keyboard shortcuts will suddenly work again.
Acrobat does the same thing.
