Go back to old method of "space after" paragraphs
I'm fine with the concept of allowing users to adjust the "spacing between paragraphs using same style." But the way this feature was added doesn't make sense: I think you should have left the old "space after" system the way it was, and allowed users to add the "spacing between paragraphs using same style" box as an extra option. The way you set it up (unless I'm misunderstanding something), anyone wanting to put spacing between paragraphs now has to enter data into two boxes, whether they want certain sections to have custom spacing or not. It makes the "spacing between…

Title Case Is Not Actually Title Case
I'm editing book with over 1,000 pages. I am selecting copy, changing case to Title Case, but it just capitalizes first letter in all words. There needs to be another case option. Title case needs to be setup so it makes a "title" of a book so words like "of" are not capitalized. New option can be called First Letter Caps, and Title case can be fixed to address words that should not be capitalized in a title of a book or headline.

scrubby zoom will not turn off
Scrubby/Animated zoom suddenly appeared when I opened Indesign today and I cannot not turn off. The option is no longer in the Preferences (I searched all categories). I have installed no updates recently.

Roboto protected
If you use a Preflight profile that enables the option for protected fonts, recent versions of Indesign report the version of Roboto loaded through CC fonts as being protected, which is surely incorrect. PDFs do seem to have the fonts embedded correctly though.

Page Size Changes- Sometimes don't work, sometimes bug, InDesign is as confused as I am.
I'm using InDesign 2021. I have been using the option at the bottom the Pages window ("edit page size") to change the size of my document from US Letter to A4 as I offer both sizes of printables in my shop. I noticed tonight that this sizing is being buggy. I went to change my Letter size doc to an A4 size, but A4 was already checked. The rulers confirmed my doc was in Letter. I then tried to change it, but no selections held from that menu. Finally, I just went to the "adjust layout" menu option and changed…

Shortcut for High Quality Display does something else
Up until Indesign CC 2020, when pressing "ctrl option command h" my document would switch to high res view. Since 16.0 it hides all other Programs of macOS (10.15.7) instead. When using the mouse it still works. Why is that, and how can I get the functionality back?

reverse layout crash
InDesign CC14.0.1 ME always crashes when using the Reverse Layout option if you click on "yes" when the message "The publication contains frame linked between pages. Would you like to break the link?"
If you click "no" it works OK, but "Yes" crashes. Even happens if there is only one page in the document.

To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received an email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.
We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding: Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.
We recommend you upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2023(v18.2.1.455) as it is more robust and contains a lot of bug fixes.
We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

Restore Command + Resize and Command + Space Zoom Behavior in InDesign
In recent versions of InDesign, two essential shortcuts have been broken or changed:
Command + Drag on a frame no longer resizes the content inside the frame as it used to — or it behaves inconsistently.
Command + Space no longer reliably brings up the zoom tool that allows click-dragging to zoom into a selected area.
These shortcuts were core to efficient, professional workflows for years. Removing or altering them without an option to restore the original behavior is disruptive. Designers rely on muscle memory and speed — this feels like a step backward.Please restore the legacy behaviors or…

Drag or transform creates unwanted duplicate of object
Moving any object (text, image, etc) with either the Move tool or Direct Selection tool creates a duplicate without having any other keys pressed (eg, option/alt).
Also when repositioning an object with Properties > Transform it also creates a duplicate of the object.Mac OS 10.14.4

Edit original not launching native application
Edit original was easy to access using option + click linked image.
Since the latest update InDesign v14.10 and Mac OS Mojave, this action opens the 'Import PDF' dialogue and if you click 'Ok' launches Photoshop. The linked image is an Illustrator .ai file. All used to work, why the change?1 vote -
Indesign 2024 keeps opening!
I use both Indesign 2023 and Indesign 2024 on MacOS Monterey. I already changed the Indesign files option to "open with Indesign 2023". But whenever I try to open an Indesign file both Indesign 2023 and 2024 open. I want to open the file with Indesign 2023. Even if 2023 is already opened it still opens Indesign cc2024 too. How do I stop 2024 doing that?

caption
When using the ‘generate live caption’ -and i read more than one data-field- the caption is placed over several paragraphs.
When this is used in combination with numbering paragraphs (to auto number the pictures) every line gets a new number e.g.So this is a pretty useless option right now, I have no idea how to fix this…

Endnote numbers superscripted overriden after Epub Export
After importing a document with the non-static text endnotes option, I applied a superscript character style to the endnote numbers and when I export to ePub 3.0 the superscripting disappears. The numbers references in the text are still superscripted as they should be, but the superscripting on the numbers before each endnote at the end of document has been dropped. For some reason Epub Export overrides the applied character style.
