"Hue" effect on rectangle breaks anti-aliasing of text
Description: "Hue" effect on rectangle breaks anti-aliasing of text
Version: InDesign 2020 (15.0.2. x64)
OS: Windows 10 (10.0.18363 Build 18363)Reproduction:
1. Create a text frame and fill it with any text
2. Create a rectangle on the same page and go to Window -> Effects, and set the rectangle's effect to "Hue"
3. Text on that same page no longer appears anti-aliasedFigured this out while trying to find out why all the text looked so bad. Ended up copying things to a new document (where text wasn't jagged) one by one, and eventually narrowed it down to…

Scripting Windows: Add page item after add swatch will delete added swatch
In ExtendScript on Windows only, adding any InDesign page item after adding a color will delete the color:
var doc = app.documents.add();
// adds black CMYK color
sw = doc.colors.add();
// this line will delete the color that was just added on Windows only
var rect = doc.rectangles.add();
alert(sw.isValid);
This actually manifested for me as a crash bug. This script crashes InDesign 2024 Windows:
var doc = app.documents.add(); var sw = doc.colors.add(); doc.rectangles.add({fillColor: sw});This crashes because the last line deletes the swatch when it adds the rectangle, then tries to use the swatch.

iMac M3 gets very hot and uses excessive CPU while working with InDesign 2024, fan is constantly running
I am working on InDesign 2024 version with Apple iMac M3 processor, and as long as the InDesign window is open, even if I do not do anything, the iMac gets very hot and the fan is constantly running. This is not a normal situation at all.
I'm reporting this to the Adobe team for information. I noticed that InDesign did not have this problem when I disconnected it from the internet. However, when the connection is lost, InDesign crashes after a while. You can see the CPU values it uses in the attached image.1 vote -

"Go-to-Folder" Shortcut Not Working When InDesign Opens Finder
About two updates prior to the last 2021 update that was released, the shortcut Commnand+Shift+G that would normally open the "Go-to-Folder" dialog box when doing something like relinking an image stopped working.
Unlike windows, where a file's location path can be copied and pasted at any time into an address bar, the "Go-to-Folder" menu can only be accessed via shortcut on Mac (as far as I am aware). It is very inconvenient to have to go through every folder individual folder, when I want to relink or place something, instead of being able to directly go to where the…

InDesign windows do not allow resizing from top to bottom
InDesign windows do not allow resizing from top to bottom. Typically, the mouse pointer should change to a drag icon to indicate this functionality, but this does not happen with InDesign, while it works normally with other applications.

Misplaced pin icons and shapes in Share for Review
Pins or shapes in Share for Review are always shown with misplaced icons or shape "borders". All browsers render it similarly. In Chrome, after reloading and clearing cache through DevTools, pin icons are changed to numbers and shapes disappear (in DevTools there is some error...). Btw, in Opera for Android, there are shown numbers by default. Using InDesign 15.1.1 for Windows, tried different files on laptot/desktop with the same results.
About a week before I used the function for the first time and everything was fine, but I'm not sure if InDesign had the latest update.
Working example: https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:f5b91a94-c27e-44bd-9b09-f46e662affc8?view=published

Email hyperlinks work once, but cease to work after clicking envelope link in Hyperlinks Palette
When clicking an email link in the Hyperlinks Palette, the email does, in fact, spawn my mail application (Mac Mail) and the email and subject line are correct.
However, when I return to Indesign to further edit the email link, and then I double click on that hyperlink in the Hyperlinks Palette, the email is no longer visible...it drops out.
Additionally, the email is not available from the list of links (those links, BTW, are not shared links).
And...the link, when I double click it, changes position in the list of hyperlinks, making it difficult to track what link you're…

Typing a key to quickly find an image when importing doesn't work
When importing an image and the Place dialog window appears, I type a letter to quickly get to the image I want to import, instead of scrolling down or moving the mouse and clicking.
This works about 50% of the time. It's as though there's some kind of timeout whereby if you import too many images in a row (one by one, not multiples at once), it won't recognise a keystroke. So, many times it simply won't work and I have to click the filename with the mouse to highlight it. This also happens in Illustrator..

layout moves when dragging pictures from windows explorer
When I have a grid of empty frames that I wish to populate with images that I am dragging from windows explorer, as I fill them the view of the layout shifts meaning I have to keep adjusting my view as items move outside the view. Everything is visible at the start so this auto view shift is really unhelpful and considering the volume of work this affects it would be a real time saver if it didn't happen.

Major performance issues in 15.0.2 with multiple large documents open
I'm on a Windows laptop with a Core i7, 16 gb of ram and a dedicated GPU. Up until the 15.0.2 update there was some hitching and slowdown with these large files (and I noticed a weird bug where hitting T to use the Type tool doesn't actually change the tool) but now editing text can take up to 10 minutes with more than one file open. I can't make a screencast at the moment since I had to reinstall 15.0.1 to complete the project on time but the filesize we're talking about is 50-75mb, ~60 pages or so…

Adobe Digital Editions opens links in unsupported version of Windows Explorer

Text with missing fonts are invisible in InDesign 16.1 macOS Catalina
Missing fonts in a document were usually showed with a replaced standard font and a light red highlight, so it pops you in the eye directly.
In the new InDesign 16.1 on macOS Catalina 10.15.7 this feature is suddendly missing for me. The text with the missing font is completely invisible. Just an empty textbox. Just when you klick in it or open the preflight window, there you can see the errors.Did I miss some new settings? Sometimes you just want to quickly edit the text and generate the final pdf later. Would be great if can enable…
