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.

table of contents
I have InDesign Mac 20.1. I have a Book consisting of 3 documents. In the documents there are Figure captions in Minion Pro font. When I have an N-rule (option hyphen) in Caption and I create a table of contents (ToC) the N-rule becomes superscript Stempel Garamond LT Std in the ToC even though the caption style is Minion Pro

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…

navigation
The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen is visible as soon as we hit a key.
It is a bit annoying when you use this tool to make a presentation..
Can we add an option to hide it ?1 vote -
Windows 10 Filetype capture
I let the Creative Cloud Desktop upgrade me from 2020 to 2021 and uninstall 2020... only the file associations didn't get updated and there isn't a way to select Indesign 2021.
Maybe have a manual button option you can hit to select default filetypes if an upgrade goes awry.
Meanwhile what's the quick fix?

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.

Logical error: searching words in selected text with Find/Change unselects text
When using the Find/Change dialog to find text, there is an option to only search in a "Selection" of text. When the word is found, Indesign will mark that word, which would also unselect the text and no further search in the selection could be done. This is a logical bug.

"Paste into" not working in Layout Split View
When the layout view is split and you copy something and try to "Paste into", the option doesn't appear. You have to exit split view and toggle it again so it works.

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

Colour swatch in Effects panel previews as RGB instead of CMYK
My working document is CMYK. When I open my Effects panel to change a swatch colour in the Blending section, it previews the colour as RGB, not CMYK. When you click on the swatch to bring up the Effect Colour panel, the swatch shows as the CMYK breakdown. The initial Blending option panel is incorrectly previewing as RGB and the swatches do not correlate. This occurs on all colours and all FX.

change/find resets
When using change/find option, the behavior is typically that the search will cycle to the next instance of the found text, however, in 19.3 on a MAC running Ventura 13.7.2 (22H313), the search will find one instance, then grey out the change/find button and not continue to the next instance -- even though other instances of the text exist.

Step and repeat Bug
Step and repeat is not working correctly.
If you have an object, whilst holding option, drag the object to a new position and release, the object is duplicated. This works correctly. If i then select Duplicate from the Edit menu, it should repeat the the last duplication. It does not! It uses the last step and repeat measurement. This is a bug.
This is using indesign 2019.
The bug is not in indesign 2018, it works correctly here
