Horizontal page display in Pages pane should be spine aligned
When View Pages Horizontally is chosen in the Pages pane, the ('floating left'—CSS speak) spread thumbnails should all align on their spines, making the first odd-numbered page flushed to the right as the even page to the left.

Interactive elements do not export to interactive PDF
Version - Adobe Indesign CC
2015.3 Release
11.3.0.34 Build
operating on Mac OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11Steps to reproduce issues:
Create a new document with a double-page spread in Indesign.
Import four images into document and arrange on spread.Import a shape into Indesign that will be assigned as a pop up box that will appear above Image 1 when rolled over, and place shape next to Image 1.
Place some text (e.g. "Image credit') on top of shape and group text with shape.
Open Buttons and Forms dialogue box:
- Convert group to a button.
- Set 'Name' as: Pop up 1.
- Check box to turn 'Hidden until triggered' on.Select Image 1 which will be the trigger image for Pop up 1.
Open Buttons and Forms dialogue box:
- Convert Image 1 to a button.
- Set 'Name' as: Image 1
- Select 'Event: On Roll Over'.
- Add a new action: 'Show/Hide Buttons and Forms'.
- Set 'Visibility': select Pop-up 1 from list and set visibility as 'show'. Set visibility for 'Image 1' itself to 'ignore'.
- Appearance: [Normal] is selected.- Select "Event: On Roll Off'.
- Add a new action: 'Show/Hide Buttons and Forms'.
- Set 'Visibility': select Pop-up 1 from list and set visibility as 'hide'. Set visibility for 'Image 1' itself to 'ignore'.
- Appearance: [Normal] is selected.
Repeat above steps for Images 2, 3 and 4.
Export as interactive PDF.Actual result: 3 out of four of the images will trigger a pop up box when rolled over in the Interactive PDF as exported from Indesign. The fourth image does not trigger its assigned pop up box. The settings are exactly the same for all four images and pop up boxes. The shapes for the pop-up boxes are each imported separately, not copied and pasted. Sometimes none display, sometimes all, sometimes half. I cannot depend on this feature to work correctly.
Expected Result: Each of the four images will trigger a hidden separate pop up box for its corresponding image when rolled over and the pop-up box will revert to being hidden when the image is rolled off.

InDesign Publish Online positions incorrectly...
If you follow the below link in Safari (Mac Desktop), any spread that contains an ad repositions itself in the top left corner of the screen instead of centered. Additionally, in all browsers, the videos all autostart at the same time when the publication opens for the first time. Anyone have any ideas?

print dialog page size
Since the latest version, the print dialog box no longer clearly shows when the image area exceeds the page size on the preview in the lower left. Before, the image area that would not print would be greyed. That is no longer the case.

Windows 10 PC. VBA for Excel and the InDesign CC2017 library are not functioning.
I have a serious problem. I have a new Acer PC Windows 10. I am using Office 365 Excel VBA to control InDesign CC2017. The InDesign CC2107 Type Library is not functioning with the VBA. I have been using this setup since CS3 to automate InDesign actions and provide solutions for automating print production.
I am trying to start a $4000 project using these same InDesign capabilities but am unable to get anywhere. I am most disappointed and upset at this occurrance and am seeking some assistance from Adobe. Attached is the software code that I am trying to implement. Also attached is a large source code file that worked well and demonstrates what can be accomplished with your products. This is a serious concern for me. This is how I make my living. My email is pwren44@aol.com. Please help!

Incorrect kerning on justified text
InDesign v. 12.2.0.56
I'm working in a book file, and this problem seems to occur at random. The kerning in the first word of a line of justified type is incorrect visually, but when you check it with the cursor, it is the correct number. If you change it, it jumps and appears to be correct again, visually, but if you save, close, and reopen the file, it is incorrect again.
It is problematic because when a PDF is exported, the incorrect kerning is what gets exported.
The problem has occurred in two different books I have worked on with completely different paragraph styles and settings.

Interface while using : no preview
When I use the scale tool with MORE than one text block, I can't see the block content while checking the "preview" box. I can only see changing the size of the blocks but they seem empty up to clicking on "OK" button. This happens only with many text boxes (or block, I don't know how you call them in english) . You can see a screenshot linked to my message. If I do the same with many image boxes, all is ok. If I do the same with only one text bloc, all is ok.

repeatedly opening a template in a loop eventually crashes at app.open
Repeatedly opening and closing a template via extendscript code (for means of batch production) causes InDesign to crash at and only at app.open(PATH).
attached file is a bare bones jsx that opens/closes the accompanying blank template either 100000 times or until it crashes (which it has done within an hour each time I have run it)
Seems to crash anywhere from 40 to 1500 iterations in.
