Outline font in circle
When a combination of superscript and normal sized font is used in a circle then fonts are outlined, the text jumps up to the positioning of the superscript within the circle instead of staying centred. This issue has not occurred before in previous versions of InDesign.

My title text boxes have weird word spacing I can't correct
I was happy with the last version of Indesign which I used on a non-Mac computer. My brand new uptodate version on the Mac is hopeless and I am in despair that I can't get instant help on my issue!

Undo reverts to last save
I'm using InDesign 2021 version 16.1, macOS version. Recently (maybe since the last update) it lost the regular undo ability. Instead of undoing by steps, it undoes all steps since the last save.
It is similar to the issue reported with InDesign 2020 (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38991835-undo-not-working-properly-in-indesign-2020), but the bug persists in the current version even though it is reported as 'Fixed' in that thread.
This happens every time when using Undo (Command-Z). It reverts to the last saved state. In the case that a document has been saved multiple times, it appears each press of Undo goes back to the…

hyperlinks missing or corrupt when opening CC2017 documents into CC2019
InDesign files opened from CC2017 (They were on our backup server from a job 3 years ago) using InDesign 14.0.2 x64 on Win10 64bit (CC2019) -
They open fine without any issue except the hyperlinks - they are all broken/corrupt. When doubleclicking on one, it is effectively blank, as if I were making a new one.
I tried saving as .idml and reloading, but it was still the same. How can I get these hyperlinks back to normal? Do I have to reinstall CC2017 again (is that even possible?).
Any help greatly appreciated2 votesTo identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received 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 to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2020 (if you’re not already on it) as it is more robust.
If you still face this issue even after updating to the latest version of InDesign, start a new thread by adding all the relevant details.
We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

Preview glitches.
ID 17.2.1
Zooming in/out in a document sometimes displays glitches/artifacts that block the view of the actual design.
Moving the window or dragging the document around the pasteboard fixes the issue; still, it's annoying because it blocks one from working properly.1 vote -

Adobe InDesign published document
When viewing a document for review, if you scroll too quickly and then reverse the direction of the scroll, it can get caught into a scrolling loop that I cannot stop. It scrolls up and down incredibly quickly on it's own. I have to exit the document and then come back in. Happens in Chrome and Firefox.

Hi,
I can't find Indesign 2018 (13.0....) from the page of "Download legacy versions of Creative Cloud apps" after updating to Indesign 2020. I have the same issue for my two account, Windows 10 and macOS 10.14, any idea? Thanks

background
Background colors (that should just be white) go crazy on tables and other pages until InDesign is quit and re-opened. There's no specific action that seems to trigger the issue, and it appears intermittently. This is happening on version 16.4.0.54.

prompt message
a prompt appears on the bottom of my indesign screen after opening an old file I need to work on (my portfolio):
"Type 1 fonts will no longer be supported after 2023
A blue message box regarding Type 1 not being support starting 2023. Your document contains 0 Type 1 fonts...... more info....."
That box is not leaving my workspace even after I click for more information; It obstructs my workspace.
The chat technician says:
"The message must only be popping up while working on the document. It will not appear once you export it to other file format. I…

jpeg vs jpg
- InDesign (21.2) , Illustrator (30.2.1), Dropbox 243.4.6956, MacOS 15.7.4, M4 Macbook Pro Max
- Linked files with JPEG extensions within an Illustrator file (.ai), that are placed into an InDesign Document, initially show up, but then disappear if the Illustrator file is edited after being placed within an InDesign Document. 3/4. Linked JPEG files should appear in the InDesign file, but disappear.
- It appears as though saving the JPEG file as a JPG file solves the issue, but this has never been an issue in the past. It's a problem with 100's of legacy InDesign Documents if i need to…

Unable to select multiple objects when hidden spreads are in document
InDesign version: 20.1
There seems to be a bug that occurs when there are hidden spreads in the document, where you cannot click and drag to select items on a visible spread. Also when you copy content from one spread to another it doesn't transfer to the current selected page. See below for my experience:
Steps to reproduce issue (part 1):
1. create a document with multiple pages (e.g., 26 pages).
2. Hide some spreads throughout document. (e.g., page 1, page 5, pages 20-23, etc).
3. Attempt to select multiple objects by clicking and dragging.Expected result: objects selected!

Bad tabulation behavior in ID 13.1
The filling caracter (.) of a tabulation disappears in function of the value of the 1st line spacing without any reason at all. Please watch the video attached to this bug report. This is a big issue absent in previous versions.

Find and change transliterate
The new feature that has been recently added is the transliterate tab in the find and change dialogue box. Instead of Hindi digits, farsi digits are there. Please correct this issue. Also it would be very useful to add and Bengali digits.

Publish Online Effects Not Displaying
I've published my document online, and when I do the image overlay isn't showing. It just shows my color block, but not the image below.
It displays properly in the thumbnail preview though. See attachment for behavior issues.

Share for Review Unreliable
I love the share for review function, however it is proving too unreliable to be used in a professional setting.
Here are the issues that my team and I encountered on a regular basis:
Review comment window is blank Updating sharing link freezes program Review page in browser won't load (spinning circle of death) Document in browser glitches and jumps around when trying to navigateThese are pretty serious issues that need to be resolved. I like the innovation, but in order to make it part of our process, reliability is the most important aspect.

InDesign 2022 mising table strokes after opening the idml file
After opening idml files in InDesign 2022 (v. 17.2) some table strokes are set to 0 pt while they should be stroked at 1 pt. There's no such issue with InDesign 2021 which opens the idml correct. Any ideas are welcomed.

Object states button disappears after click
In a multi-state object, the button that activates the MSO disappears after being clicked. No where in the settings have I told it to disappear after being clicked.
Version: I'm running InDesign 16.3.2 (though I downgraded to 16.2 and am still having the problem)
Steps to reproduce issue:
I created the MSO using buttons/forms and the object states panel. Close button should revert back to original state (star).
Expected Result: Button should reappear.
Actual Result: Button is gone after click.Video of ePub preview attached.
The problem is both in the ePub preview and when published online.
