New Document Thumbnails
I don't see the added value of the 'Thumbnails' in the New Document panel.
Those are rather confusing than functional, since all have the same aspect ratio.
Won't it be nice when the default icon reflects the actual orientation and aspect ratio?1 voteThis has been fixed in later versions of InDesign, check the latest version for change.

When Application Frame is Turned Off, News Windows Size Behind GUI/Tools
I'm one of the many users that doesn't like the Application Frame in either Illustrator or InDesign because I usually like to drag&drop things or switch between applications on my Mac as I work creatively.
I hate that when a new window is generated (opening a file or creating a new one) it is sized beyond the size of my laptop screen and always BEHIND my docked tools in both Illustrator and InDesign software. Photoshop has the sense not to do this so whats going on with these other tools???
I have to drag the new window over just to…

This used to work but the past years updates have stopped this function, again another thing that worked removed! You used to be able to shift click on a few pages in the pages panel then alt drag them and place them ANYWHERE in the document, sometimes i liked them straight underneath current pages but now for some unknown reason its doesn't allow me to do this with more than one page? when you try to move the selected pages nothing happens and the pages are just duplicated at the end of the document not very helpful with a 100…

Cursor not accurate when moving objects
Cursor not accurate when moving objects. Clicking and dragging on an object to move it (text window or image) transports it away - to the left and down the page - from where I am trying to place it.

[Variable fonts] Axis committal doesn't stick
When using a variable font, and changing an axis’s value via the text box, it doesn't stick when the menu is Escaped. However, the value does stick when it is escaped if it was committed via slider.
To reproduce:
- Set some text in a text box.
- Open the Character Panel.
- Choose a variable font.
- Go into the variable font value settings via the button to the bottom right.
- Change a value in the text box.
- Hit Enter to commit. (Shouldn't really be necessary and doesn't seem to have effect anyway).
- Hit Escape to get rid of the slider pop…

Embedding links won’t work, if you do not inbed each links manually
If you choose multiple pictures in your links-panel and click “embedding all instances”, it does show the “embedded in document”-icon, but this is a false information. It only works, if you embed every image individually after selecting one by one image.

Not able to work on more than one document in InDesign 2020 on Windows 10
Folks,
Please vote if you have the same issue:I can't work anymore on more than one packaged doc containing 'Document fonts' folder in each package in InDesign 15.1.1.
Moving frames, selecting text in the frames or switching between two (blank) docs causes an unacceptable huge delay what makes efficient work impossible.Performance got worse and worse since 15.02 / 15.03 / 15.1 already. Removed ID completely, as well any plug-ins or font management software. Bug occurs on three independent Win10 machines using 15.1.1.
I'm currently working on ID 15.01 which is the only version I can work in still…2 votes -

Pasteboard not centered in layout view
I'm not sure if this is the right bug category, but when trying to view spreads, no matter what view option I pick, the pasteboard is aligned right only, with lots of extra room on the left. If I scroll all the way left, the left edge of the pasteboard is about in the middle of the view area and if I scroll all the way right, nothing past the right edge of the pasteboard is visible. It should be the other way around if not centered, because at least then, all my tool panels wouldn't cover up what…

button value
Broken in 18.3 and 19.5: Non-ASCII text in the "Button Value" field in the "Buttons and Forms" panel fails to export to interactive PDF.
To reproduce this issue:
1) Create a radio button
2) Add non-ASCII text to the "Button Value" field
3) Export to Interactive PDF
4) Look at the mouseover tooltip and see that the Button Value has lost any glyphs beyond U+00FF.I've attached a PDF file demonstrating the issue.

Ctrl + Tab Keyboard Shortcut Bug
I tried to assign "Ctrl"+"Tab" to "Window Next" (to get the same shortcut as OS-default) but Indesign seems not to do anything when hitting this shortcut. When assigning other shortcuts to the same action it works.

Windows Warning Beep
UPDATE: I've narrowed down the problem to the Exclamation Program Event in Windows Sound. With that set to (None), the beeping no longer occurs.
When I go into inDesign, I go to any window and I hear Windows warning beeps non-stop, like I'm doing something inDesign doesn't like. If I go into Pages or Layers, they cause no issue. If I go into Preferences or Margins and Columns, then I get the beeping.
I am using Windows 10 with the latest updates.
I haven't used inDesign within the last few months, and it wasn't do it then.…1 vote -
