InDesign resets window position set by Magnet utility on macOS
In the current v19.4 (2024), when I use the common utility Magnet to resize the InDesign window (i.e. the Application Frame) to full screen, InDesign itself will reset the window position as soon as I ⌘-tab out of InDesign and return to it. No other app on my Mac does this, and it's very frustrating. Manual window size changes are honoured.
There are other inconcistencies about InDesign's window positioning on macOS too — if it opens on my laptop screen, the application bar (above the control panel) appears under the menu bar and is almost invisible.
Please fix.

control panel disappears
Have upgraded to InD 2020 v 15.0.3 -- whenever i close all documents and then open a new one (i.e. when there is not already a doc open in InD), my control panel disappears and wont re-appear via tab or reset workspace. I have it set to floating. I have to close and restart my InD for the control panel to reappear again. Never had this problem before! Is this just my Mac or is it InD?

CC Libraries panel crashes on right-click
Whenever right-clicking on any item in the CC Libraries panel, the panel crashes. Rebooting computer, restarting InDesign, and resetting preferences did not fix the issue.

EPUB Interactivity panel resizes
In the release version of InDesign CC 2018, when you resize the EIP panel, then close it or make it part of a workspace, it should open at the same size you left it.
In CC 2018, it opens in the size you last left it, but immediately snaps to a very small size, forcing you to resize it EVERY time.
This makes working with interactive features very cumbersome. Please fix! Thank you.

Paragraph Styles panel
In InDesign v 16.1 the Paragraph Styles panel is not showing any paragraph styles at all. I have tried creating new styles, saving them and they also don't show up. I have tried opening different files, where I know I have Paragraph Styles and it's still not working. Character Styles (most of which are nested in Paragraph Styles) on the other hand are displaying properly. I have tried resizing the panel, as suggested by another user, but no matter the size, nothing displays in the body of the panel.
If I open these same files in InDesign 15.1.3…

Broken layout in review panel
Using InDesign 16.4 - Windows 10 21H1 19043.1237
The layout of the review panel is broken, apparently since the 16.4 update.
Clicking on a note sends all the content on the edge of the panel, hiding most of it (as shown on the attached image).
Changing the size of the panel (even slightly) puts everything back in place, but clicking again on a note breaks everything again. And so on.

Corrupt overlay palette window -- stretched and can't be closed
The overlay palette window is ever-present when I open InDesign. Every time I close it from the 'window's dropdown (as it is to wide to find the X close window icon, it just keeps reopening? It is too wide to fit on the screen, and the text in the panel is pixelated. I have tried docking it to other windows to contain it, but it corrupts those too. Anyone else had this problem?

[ID-4214608]Page numbering of last pages not visible when View Pages is set to Horizontal in Pages panel.
When the pages panel is filled up vertically with the pages, and when the panel is set to "View Pages > Horizontally," the panel does not scroll all the way to the bottom, and the page numbers of the bottom pages are cut off.
This is easily reproducible in any new document with reset InDesign preferences.

Information panel not usable
I use Indesign 18.3 on MSI CreatorPro X17 W11 (last version) PC and the Information panel is not usable. The panel is far to big, and not movable !!!!
The monitor setup is 3840x2160 with zoom factor of 225%.
It seems the zoom factor is appied to the text but NOT to the Information panel size. The app and other panels are OK.
I reset completely the caches and personal parameters, nothing helps.1 vote -

Upon opening app 'Pages panel' does not launch
InDesign doesn't seem to record the preference of keeping open the 'pages panel'. On each app launch (despite on closing the last session with the pages panel open), the pages panel does not appear.
2 votesWe have released an update for InDesign CC2019 (v 14.0.1) which contains fixes for some key issues. If you are not already on 14.0.1 (build 209), then we recommend you to update to latest version.
If you still face this issue even after updating, please send the following information to santalwa@adobe.com :
Reproducible Steps –
• What were you doing when the issue was observed in InDesign?
• Error snapshot or video recording of the issue.
• Does trashing InDesign Preferences and Cache help resolve the issue? Please take a backup of the same before trashing them.
• Is the issue related to a specific workspace(s)? If yes, can you please provide the workspace(s) available at following location:
o Windows: “%APPDATA%\Adobe\InDesign\Version 14.0\en_US\Workspaces”
o Macintosh: "~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 14.0\en_US\Workspaces”Adobe InDesign team

tool panel/character panel disappears
Since INDesign 2023 my tool bar and character panels occasionally disappear. When I click out of the app and then come back to it later. They aren't there. When I go to the Window menu, I can get them back, but this is happening a few times a day and is an annoyance.
Never had that in 15 years of InDesign.
p.s. It happened once in Photoshop too!

Placed ICML files do not appear in the Assignments panel
Placed InCopy ICML files should appear in the Assignments panel. They do not. This is under InDesign CC2018.1.
The only step needed to reproduce this is to create an InCopy file. Save it and then place in InDesign.

Paragraph Style Panel Overrides
THIS HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR YEARS NOW!
Paragraph Overrides
You used to be able to hover your mouse over a paragraph style in the paragraph style panel that had an override (plus sign). When you hovered over this style it would display a tool tip showing you what was overriding that style. This no longer works.
InDesign magazine has even written an article about it... https://indesignsecrets.com/how-to-get-tooltips-working-again.php
The only way to fix this problem is to resize the panel. Every time you need to see what is overriding a style you have to resize the panel meaning you may have…
