3. Guides/Gridlines too thin/difficult to see on Retina display

   Not sure if really a 'bug', but since upgrading to Apple Retina iMacs, everyone in my office is having trouble seeing gridlines, margins, and guides in the interface. The lines are just extremely thin on Retina displays. I have excellent vision and I find them difficult to see. Other employees with glasses are really struggling. We could really use something in the preferences to slightly increase the thickness of guides.

6. Anchored frame looses the XML tag information as soon as anchor is released/anchor point is moved forward.

   Steps to reproduce

   1. Create an anchored text/graphic frame with some inline text/image. Tag the frame with some XML Tag (say 'tag1').

   2. Now release the anchor.

   Expected output
   - On releasing the anchor, there should be no changes in the XML tag on frame.

   Actual output
   - On releasing the anchor, the frame gets untagged.

   Additional note: Similar thing happens when anchor is moved forward to another position in inline text. In this case also, frames gets untagged

8. Placing and Moving Images Changes Opacity

   If I place an image and then try to move it within the bounding box, the opacity appears to change to around 50%. However, the opacity is still set to 100%. I can correct it by hitting Undo which reverts the image back to normal. From what I can tell, it is only a visual bug. Exporting the image doesn't show the change in opacity.

   I haven't been able to reproduce this issue consistently but would say it happens around 80% of the time I try to move an image. Another interesting thing is that if the issue happens and I duplicate the image and change it's opacity, the original image reverts to normal again.

   Have used this feature for 20 years and now the double arrow indicating that a box is being copied shows up, but the text box is not actually copied--the box just moves.

   This is working as it should – that is, duplicating the selected object.

   Please update to the latest available version of InDesign (13.1) via Creative Cloud application. Before launching InDesign, delete the Application Preferences and Caches to ensure that any corrupt preferences are not causing this issue to happen.

   Please let us know if you still experience this issue.

   Thanks,

11. Make it possible to anchor a graphic to the beginning of a paragraph without five or six tries and two or three zooms

    It'll go AFTER the first letter…it'll go some random place in the first FEW letters, but before the first one? Especially if the first one is a sans-serif letter "I"? HAHAHAHAHAH! No. Not without cajoling, retrying, zooming, threatening, and telling it what a good little cursor it is.

    I realize this isn't an exciting problem, but it's been literally decades of this feature being…what's the technical term…bad.

14. InDesign 2025 / v20.0: »background task« tries to activate font all the time

    Working with the font Minion Pro InDesign 2025 wants to activate the font in the background (shown in the background tasks panel) although it IS activated.

    Closing the document does not bother InDesign. It still wants to activate the font (see screenshot 2).

    Quit & Restart helps, but it should work correctly without it.

15. Placed TIF files export as grey boxes when exported to PNG format

    InDesign 19.5, macOS 14.6.1, Apple M1 Max chip

    1. With no document open, set the default view to "Fast" by choosing View > Display Performance > Fast Display.

    2. Create a new document, and place a TIF image on the page.

    3. Choose File > Export, and select PNG for the export format.

    The TIF image will export as a gray box. It should export as the actual image. Even if you choose View > Display Performance > High Quality Display and export again, the TIF image will still export as a gray PNG.

    If you close the file, change the InDesign default display to High Quality, and then reopen the InDesign file containing the TIF image, the image exports properly to PNG format.

16. Publish Online: if forbidden character in the document name, the name has to be filled in again

    To me it’s okay that “special characters” are not allowed in the title of a "publish Online" document.

    But if a user gets this message, his/her title is completely deleted and he/she has to fill out the title again. Although there’s maybe only one forbidden character in it.

    Annoying. Any chance to change this?

19. Problem Selecting Hebrew vowels and diacritics

    Windows 11
    Indesign 19 x64

    Problem Selecting Hebrew vowels and diacritics especially when there are Hebrew and English mixed in the paragraph, it seems like there is no visual distinction to determine what is being selected. This is so frustrating, and makes it impossible to use in the long run.

20. Placing an ICML file in an InDesign file ignores multiple artboards in AI files if they are embedded

    If you have an AI file with multiple artboards which is an embedded anchored object in a text frame it will always revert back to the first artboard when you place the ICML in InDesign.

    1. Create a new InDesign file.
    2. Create an AI file with two artboards and one simple object in each.
    3. Create a text frame in InDesign.
    4. Place the AI file in the text frame and choose the second artboard.
    5. Embed the AI file.
    6. Export the text frame as an ICML file.
    7. Place the ICML file into the document (not check in/check out).

    What happens:
    1. The "Pages" panel will show the correct preview.
    2. The "Links" panel will show the correct preview.
    3.. The text frame that is created will show the first artboard.

    Images:
    1. AI file with two artboards.
    2. Embedded image of artboard 2.
    3. After placing the ICML into the InDesign file it has reverted to display artboard 1, but the previews in the "Links" and "Pages" palettes are still correct.

    If you have an AI file with multiple artboards which is an embedded anchored object in a text frame it will always revert back to the first artboard when you place the ICML in InDesign.
