1. Spell checker in InDesign CC2018 (13.0) has lost its mind

   InDesign spell check is randomly not recognising everyday words and when I acknowledge it by clicking Ignore All or Skip, it stops again on the very next word to report an Uncapitalised Sentence. This is happening whether I have the Dictionary set to Proximity or Hunspell.

   I cannot find a pattern other than that, but I have now experienced it on ten different InDesign documents. It is very annoying, but I am also left to wonder whether it is actually missing other words that might actually need correction?? PLEASE HELP.

2. InDesign CC 2018 Crashing Several Times Daily

   After updating to InDesign 2018 the application suffered from crashing. I applied the CopyPlugin_MAC.app patch, but it did not fix the issue.

   To 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). It contains a lot of stability fixes.

   If you still face this issue even after updating to the latest version of InDesign, please submit the crash report to us. (The guidelines to submit crash are available at (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html)
   We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

3. drop shadow effect bug - in NEW 2018 Indesign

   The Blend Mode in DROP SHADOW is FROZEN on MULTIPLY.. I cannot choose any other blend option... i.e. screen, darken, lighten..and it defaults to MULTIPLY...

   I tried drop shadow filter on multiple elements and documents.. STILL FROZEN... BIG BUG..

   I'll go back to using the older version until you get your issues fixed.

   Hi,
   Can you add a video showing the issue? and some steps to reproduce the issue…
   We are unable to reproduce this bug.
   Are you on MAC or Win? Does it happen with all documents?
   You can add a video to WeTransfer/Dropbox etc and add a link here as comment.

   Also, please confirm if your issue is similar to one mentioned here.. https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/31964464-blending-effects

4. Recent file panel

   When Indesign first opens, the time stamp on the recent file is not correct. Some of the files are marked "in an hour" as when they were opened. Others are just marked as 4 hours ago.

   The normal keyboard shortcut for hide does not work either on this screen.

   Hello All,

   Thank you for your patience all this while.
   We had launched our investigation into the matter to get to the root cause of the problem. As the part of our investigation, we had reached out to many of you personally over email.
   We have concluded our investigation and have come up with few findings.

   1. For many of the users the issue got fixed after updating InDesign to a newer version.
   2. For some, the issue got resolved after disabling a third-party application such as Suitecase fusion etc.
   3. For few, the issue was intermittent and is no longer reproducible.
   4. For majority of the users, the underlying cause of the performance issue was identified to be related to span columns, cross-references, third party plugin etc.

   We have created separated threads for these issues and we are now working towards resolving them.

   However, over the time this thread has become too generic to serve its purpose effectively. As per your feedback and the outcome of our investigation we have created multiple threads to address each root cause separately and effectively.
   If you are facing any slowness in InDesign or seeing any other performance issue, we request you vote for the relevant thread or create a new thread specifying the action/workflow which is slowing you down.
   We seek your support in our continuous effort to improve InDesign.

7. Tool fly outs appearing on wrong monitor

   I am using a dual monitor setup, my left hand monitor is a standard widescreen monitor, my right hand monitor is a Wacom Cintiq.

   When I have InDesign maximized on the Wacom and attempt to access a fly out menu on the toolbar it opens the fly out menu on the very right-hand edge of the standard monitor. Which makes it impossible for me to select from the fly out menu without having to put down the stylus, switch to a mouse, and repeat the action to bring up the fly out menu and then select the item I wanted. This issue does not occur in Photoshop or illustrator.

9. CC'15-'17 All hyperlinks missing/removed after round trip with InCopy editors

   I am a designer and build corporate white papers anywhere from 35-100+ pages in length. We use the layout InCopy workflow with one assignment and all stories exported under that. After I import and design/format all content including hyperlinks, I then save for the editors for use in InCopy. They then do their work, and save for me, standard. Upon opening, all the hyperlinks are missing with a "red flag" denoting the ref. is missing . Oddly enough, for the past two documents we made, you could still export to PDF with the links functioning, this despite all the missing URL info in the hyperlinks panel. It seems embedded but not recognized. Sometimes you can right click on a link in the ID layout and it will also "go to destination," but the info is not present in the hyperlinks panel. Because the functionality was there for us, we ignored the hyperlinks panel for 2 major docs. With the latest document, the same thing happened, only this time we lost functionality too, which brought me here looking for answers. Hope this gets fixed, as I had to manually input 100+ links to finalize our document today! A couple variables: Our InCopy users are on PCs, where I am on a Mac. We also use 'Box' for file sync, primary stations are designer in the US and editors in Dublin.

10. Export from book file default to wrong filetype

    CC 2017 12.0.0.81
    Using the regular export menu, export an interactive PDF. That becomes the default. But now I want to export a Print PDF from the book panel, it keeps defaulting back to interactive PDF. So to make its I don't have to remember to choose Print PDF (for every single export), I have to first export a random Print PDF using the regular export menu, just to switch the default in the Export Selected files to PDF option.

    The two export locations: File > Export and using the flight from the Book panel, shouldn't be tied together. They should have their own defaults.

14. [ID-4253057]Autonumbering in Hide Spreads is not working for Text Variables -> Insert Variable -> Last Page Number

    Text variable "Last page number" does not update with Hide Spread.

    With the newest update hiding spreads works automatically updates the pagination. This does not however change the "Last page number" variable. I often use this for screen presentations to display page X/X.

    This seems like a simple oversight in the update, but would be nice to have fixed.

17. 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.

20. Image Path Data Merge Is Ignored

    InDesign 19.4 for Mac (Sonoma 14.5)

    After the latest update, the data merge is not longer working properly for image files. While, in some cases, the paths to the images is correctly resolved and the images are embedded, the same data file that has worked earlier this year now creates an issue, so that images are not shown after data merge.

    Instead of using the path given in the data file, InDesign now searches for the images in the folder where the data file is, ignoring the path name in the data file.

    Moving the images into this folder works as a workaround. However, resolving image paths has worked correctly in previous versions, and I would love to have the old functionality back.
