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…

PDF comments panel starts scrolling on it's own
At random the panel starts scrolling whenever the mouse is over the panel.
Moving the mouse off the panel for a few seconds usually stops it and I can continue working

Properties panel - linked panels opening across extended windows
Win 10 / InDesign cc2019
I have an issue where the underlined panel options don't respect the boundaries of my extended screen configuration causing the popped out palette to split across windows.
In illustrator these linked palettes always appear within the confines of a maximised application window's boundary.
P.S. I hope it is your intention to continue to develop the properties panel so that more of the options appear naturally within its space. Similar to the way the Transform, Character, Paragraph and Align sections do via the 'more options' ellipses.
I've pointed out your approach on the…

Creative Cloud Panel Broken
Creative Cloud panel won't let me change libraries from the drop down menu. ID was working perfectly fine before Mac iOS High Sierra. Having to close down ID every 5 minutes due to the cursor issue combined with the CC panel issue makes ID almost impossible to use.
Seriously, please get ID fixed.

[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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Unable to rename sublayer while panel is docked
In InDesign 2001 16.0.1 for Mac (and possibly other versions) it is not possible to rename a sublayer when the layers panel is docked.
Changing sublayer names is only possible when the panel is floating. The sublayer name should be editable whether the panel is docked or floating.

Links panel content overflow
Since upgrading to InDesign 2024, we've encountered a persistent issue where the Links Panel becomes overwhelmed with linked assets. This overflow makes the panel difficult, if not impossible, to use effectively.
Problem Description:
The issue manifests when working with documents that contain a large number of unique linked assets. Upon selecting an asset (e.g., an image) within a page, the Links Panel attempts to highlight the corresponding link. However, instead of functioning as expected, the panel becomes cluttered and overflows with the document's other links, severely hindering our ability to work efficiently.Steps to Reproduce:
Ensure your document contains a…
