1. Ctrl + Tab Keyboard Shortcut Bug

   I tried to assign "Ctrl"+"Tab" to "Window Next" (to get the same shortcut as OS-default) but Indesign seems not to do anything when hitting this shortcut. When assigning other shortcuts to the same action it works.

2. Pasteboard not centered in layout view

   I'm not sure if this is the right bug category, but when trying to view spreads, no matter what view option I pick, the pasteboard is aligned right only, with lots of extra room on the left. If I scroll all the way left, the left edge of the pasteboard is about in the middle of the view area and if I scroll all the way right, nothing past the right edge of the pasteboard is visible. It should be the other way around if not centered, because at least then, all my tool panels wouldn't cover up what I need to work on, on the right side. My only work arounds are to detach and move the tool panels, or zoom in enough that panel doesn't cover up my spread, or make a giant pasteboard so that there is enough extra room on the right side. All of which are annoyances that 'bug' me. ;-)

3. Adobe Indesign 2024 - frequent "Hang" issues & "error report" messages.

   1. We recently purchased Adobe Indesign 2024 and we are frequently facing "hang" issues where the screen gets stuck on opening an indesign file or while adding few lines of texts while editing a file. we are neither able to perform any further action nor close the indesign program. Only if we end the task we are able to exit.

   2. We have also been getting error report frequently and the working indesign file gets closed.

   3. In addition to that for the past 2 days, we are getting a pop-up message showing "do you want automatic recovery?" message, clicking yes on which the file gets stuck again.

4. alternate layouts

   I want to prevent Indesign from adding alternate layouts to my file. I sometimes have to move pages from one document to another. I am using the page panel-move pages and then telling it the document I want the pages moved to. It adds an alternate layout. Is there a way to prevent this from automatically happening? It should be a feature that I turn on IF I WANT it. not one that I can't turn off.

6. Stroke Style not working

   When creating a line, the drop down menu on the side bar or in separate window does not work. The style options will not open, no ability to change the line style. I have restarted InDesign, and tried new files, it doesn't work.

7. PDFs Export to Google Drive as 0 Bytes, for Anyone on MacOS Ventura

   Sometime in approximately late January 2023, my workgroup began having difficulty exporting PDFs from InDesign to our Google Drive. The PDF files appear on the Drive but as 0 bytes and can't be opened/viewed from the Chrome side of the Drive. We have isolated the problem as specific to anyone who is on MacOS Ventura. We believe the problem stems from a late January/early February upgrade to either the Google Drive, InDesign or Ventura (or perhaps a perfect storm combo of all three). We have 8 InDesign users in our workgroup and only the three who upgraded to Ventura are experiencing this problem. The PDF files on our Google Drive can be viewed and behave normally when accessed through Finder on the Mac side by the author of the PDF file. When accessed through Chrome on the Google Drive side, they appear as 0 bytes. The workaround we discovered is to drag the PDF from the Finder window into the Chrome window, replacing the PDF file on the Chrome side, at which point it acts normally for everyone. Every time the PDF is modified, the process has to be repeated.

   Giving the Drive "time to sync" is not the issue as we've gone back and checked bad PDFs 24 hours later and they are still bad. PDFs exported from other CC apps behave normally, as do other file formats (JPG, PNG, etc.) exported from InDesign so this is definitely a very specific ID + PDF + Ventura + Google problem.

   Below is a link to the same issue being reported on Google Drive's Help page:

8. InDesign links and Box Drive

   This appears to be an issue only with InDesign and Box Drive.

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. In InDesign, link to an Illustrator file or PDF with multiple artboards, layers, or pages from the Box Drive folder.
   2. Place the file and select a single artboard or page.
   3. Save, close, and re-open the file.

   Result:
   The linked file will no longer update. Perpetually needs updating even though the file hasn't changed.
   The workaround is to save the linked file to Adobe Libraries.

   Expected:
   The file link should show that it is updated in the links panel.
    
   System info
       Application: InDesign v16.3.0.5
       OS: macOS v11.2.3, RAM: 16.00 GB, CPUs (logical): 8

9. Adobe InDesign 2024 (v19.0) - Unable to create own style pack (error popup)

   When I try to create a new style pack I get the dialog to apply different styles. When choosing the according styles for Heading, Subheading,... I only get an error pop up. When confirming, I get another alert, a couple of times in a row (for every following style to apply one). After confirming all alerts I get one or more text frames filled with example text (no specific format / settings) on the first page of the document.

10. Items Dirty the Document When No Change To Doc Was Made

    InDesign File Dirties On Open With No Changes

    STEPS:
    1) Open the provided file called Dirty File.indd

    RESULT:
    The title bar shows an * in front of the name, indicating a change has been made to the file (it's "dirty") although no change was made. This is a problem,, as I wonder if my file is leaking memory or will become unstable if more items or pages are added to it.

    OTHER TEST #1:
    1. Open the file Dirty File.indd
    2. Open a new untitled InDesign document and save it as Doc2.indd
    3. Choose Window>Arrange>Tile All Vertically
    4. In Dirty File.indd from the Pages panel drag page 1 and drop it into the Doc2.indd window
    5. Save and close Doc2.indd
    6. Open Doc2.indd
    RESULT:
    Doc2.indd is good, it is NOT dirty

    OTHER TEST #2:
    1. Open the file Dirty File.indd
    2. Select all items on Page 1 and choose Edit > Copy
    2. Open a new untitled InDesign document and save it as Doc2.indd
    3. Choose Window>Arrange>Tile All Vertically
    4. In Doc2.indd, chose Edit > Paste In Place
    5. Save and close Doc2.indd
    6. Open Doc2.indd
    RESULT:
    Doc2.indd has an * next to its name in the title bar. The document IS dirty even though no changes were made

    UMMM it's an InDesign document problem, you need the .indd file to see the bug and get the problem data from the document. But your web page here doesn't allow .indd files to be uploaded to this bug submit page. So...please contact me to get the file I guess.

11. BUG : Red panels and shifted elements

    It appears randomly, often when I open a second ID file, the first opened get some red panels and all the elements are shifted.
    The only way to solve this for now is to close the document and reopen it.

    Here is the link to the ticket on Adobe Support Community I made earlier (it contains a video showing what is happening) : https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/indesign-v-16-2-1-display-bug-shifted-elements/m-p/12053732#M430155

12. dark interface &

    Appearance dark theme not matching the settings or OS. I selected dark theme but pasteboard and window top bar light grey. It should be uniform dark.

    Other issue is workspaces often does not show up after launching app requiring me to select a workspace other than my custom setting to show up on screen and only then can I select my custom workspace to have it show up. If I select my custom workspace right away after launch when no windows or tools show up nothing happens the screen stays without any panels or tools. Clearly a bug

13. Pre-composed Hebrew characters do not track

    InDesign 21.1 ME
    Pre-composed Hebrew characters in many Hebrew fonts do not track through the Character panel, though precomposed Latin characters do (see image, line 5 versus line 9). I would expect that they track like any other discrete character.
    Many thanks for your help.

14. "Rolloff" in Animationpanel not working in CC2017 / CC2018 / MAC / WINDOWS

    I am working on a diplom project right now, and faced a really annoying bug in InDesign. I want to create a rollover bar, wich slides up when I rollover / hover with my mouse over a certain object. I know without any kind of problems how I am able to create something like this, but my problem is, that the object simply wont return to its destination where it came from, when I rolloff it again, like going away with my mouse. It stays on its place once the animation has been completed, and when I hover over it again, the animations simply restarts. Hard to explain, easy to understand once you see it yourself.

    https://indd.adobe.com/view/351ae097-e63e-4518-93a7-f59e998fb9aa

    Try it yourself, hover over the 3 lines on the bottom, a bar should come up. Go away with mouse, it redoes the animation again, while it normaly should go down where it came from, when "Rolloff" in the Animationpanel is activated.

    Side-note: Exporting it with "Rolloff" deactivated does the exact same thing, so it seems like, that the tool "Rolloff" has no real function.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMRQCabgt_8&t=203s&list=PLVtJKzfqv-Gay5lahydRZgmIEreFijJl1&index=1

    In this YouTube tutorial, you can clearly see, someone achieving what I want in Adobe CS5, 7 years ago! A update for this section would also be great sometime, but it just seems like nothing has changed over the past 7 years.

    It doesnt matter if I try to succeed in this in CC17 / CC18 / Mac or Windows, both do not work.

    This is a tool that is so great to have, but it simply stops me from working correctly, because I am not able to use it. Please fix this as fast as possible. I am not doing all this for fun, I got a diplom project to complete, and just want to make it a little bit nicer by using things like the Animationpanel, instead of simple buttons only.

    Best Regards,
    Adam V.

15. Selection Tool Doesn't Allow Dragging to Move After Windows Update

    Using InDesign 20.1 x64 on Windows 11. After the recent Windows security update (KB5051987), the Selection Tool no longer allows dragging to move elements on a second monitor. It could be related to the fact the monitors are not the same size and do not have the same UI scaling. It functions properly on my laptop screen but I normally work from my larger 2nd monitor and it is no longer functioning properly there. The Free Transform tool still works.

16. palettes stay closed

    Our entire department recently did the newest update to Adobe InDesign (21.0)
    Steps to reproduce the issues: Close document and open another one

    Every single time I open a new file (which is many times per day) the pallets do not pop open. The workspace still looks like it should and when I click on a pallet to use it, it highlights like it would if it was popped open for use but nothing happens.

    Expected result: Pallets pop open so I can make changes on my file
    Actual result: Pallets highlight like they will open but actually stay closed and do nothing

    The only way I have found to make this work is to reset the workspace (whether it's one you have saved as your own or just using a default). EVERY. SINGLE. TIMEEE PLEASE FIX THIS

    The most worrying is that it seems that this bug was discovered in September 2019.

    As David wrote 2019-09-04: “Almost every action from selecting objects, resizing objects, or moving objects comes with a really slow reaction time”.

    Behaviour:

    InDesign freezes, and my cursor starts spinning around (CPU jumps to 95-98%) for almost 30-45 seconds before I can continue with next command.
    The behaviour is random, but when it starts working slow, then it continues. It usually happens when I open two InDesign documents at the same time (small documents).

    I run InDesign 15.1 x64 from Creative Cloud, and Windows 10 Enterprise with 16GB RAM.

    I hope Adobe fixes this very soon, as I cannot perform my daily work and my employer starts asking what is wrong with my deliveries.

    Many internal as well as external factors can cause the InDesign application to perform poorly.

    We completed the investigation and came up with the following: Either the issue has been resolved in the most recent release of InDesign (Refer to InDesign Release notes), the issue was intermittent at the time of reporting and is no longer reproducible, or the InDesign version mentioned in the report is no longer covered by Creative Cloud Support Policy.

    We would recommend you upgrade to the latest version as it is more robust. If you are still facing this issue even after updating it, create a new UserVoice thread or Contact Adobe support.

19. Disable automatic sect-tags on PDF export

    When exporting a tagged PDF, InDesign automatically creates Sect-Tags for each story. I would like to be able to disable this feature on export for the following reasons:

    1. As far as I know, they are of limited value for screen reader users. The content is usually already well structured by means of an appropriate heading structure.
    2. It is very difficult to integrate figures into a story in a semantically correct/meaningful way. When anchoring them in the text, they will be nested in p-tags, which is according to PDF/UA not correct semantically. Hence, I avoid creating stories and use the article panel for setting up the reading order. This makes the sect-tags very redundant though.
    3. Often, pre-edits of the tagging in Acrobat Pro are necessary. All those Sect-tags bloat up the tagging tree unnecessarily and obfuscate the actual tagging structure. I want to be able to see heading and p tags without expanding large amounts of Sect-tags.

    For these reasons, I suggest to add a checkbox "Disable automatic creation of sect-tags" on export for interactive PDF.

20. Keyboard shortcut for Break Link to Style is not working correctly

    InDesign 14.0.3

    When I use a shortcut for Break Link to Style in the Paragraph Styles Panel, it completely destroys the formatting.

    However, when I select the same command with my mouse - it works as expected - breaks the link with the style, while retaining formatting.
