1. Gradient Panel and Color Panel missing all options

   After using InDesign 18.5 for some time the options for adjusting color in the Color Panel and Gradient Panel go away. This can be fixed by resetting the user preferences/settings (hold shift/cntrl/option/command while opening Indesign). This fix is only temporary and eventually the options disappear again. This is driving me nuts!

2. Share for Review is very buggy

   In InDesign lately when I Share for Review the following things happen often:
   1. InDesign thinks that the document I've shared (and for which I've received feedback) is NOT shared. I know it is.
   2. I can no longer highlight a comment and copy it to paste it into the actual document.
   3. When I click on a comment it will take me to a page/spread but there's no pin/highlighted text/etc. to inform me where on the spread the change needs to be implemented.
   4. I get a message that InDesign "cannot load comments" no matter how many times or different points in the day I click on "Retry."

4. Bulleted and numbered lists, "Restart Numbers at This Level After:" behavior is not consistent

   1. create a document with "Bulleted and numbered lists" and List Type "Numbers" 　* There are 3 types of headings and 3 levels.
   2. set the levels so that each heading is renumbered according to the higher level heading. 3.
   3. re-set the numbering style to "none" or remove "^#" from the "Number" to indicate numbering
   4. the numbers are no longer re-numbered.

   Workaround: set Mode to "Start At: 1" instead of "Continue from Previous Number

   I had quite a bit of trouble finding a workaround. Also, it is often the case that the higher levels do not want to display numbers, so the behavior should be consistent.

   箇条書き、「指定レベル以降で番号を振り直し」の動作が一貫していない
   1.　箇条書き、自動番号を設定したドキュメントを作成する
   　※見出しは3種類あり、レベルは3段階あるものとする
   2.　各々の見出しは、上位の見出しによって番号が振り直されるようにレベルを設定する
   3.　番号の種類を「なし」に設定し直すか、テキストから番号を表示するための「^#」を削除する
   4.　番号が降り直されなくなる

   回避方法：モードを「前の番号から継続」ではなく「開始番号：1」とする

   回避方法を見つけるまでかなり苦労した。また、上位レベルでは番号を表示したくない場合も往々にしてあるので、動作は一貫していることが望ましい。

5. Crop tool namings for german version are irritating

   A view months ago I was posting this issue to the community board already. :-) Thanks to Mr. Tyson for directing me to this page here:

   Dear InDesign team,

   please take a look on https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/placing-graphics.html
   The assistance describes the differences between the three boxes named "crop", "trim" and "bleed".

   Well, in English there is no mistake if I'm going to import a PDF into my InDesign document, e.g. I'd like to display the final cutted format, than I choose for "Trim" or if I need to prepare a page for professional print shops than choosing "Bleed".

   But in the german edition the namings seem to be inconsequent. In comparison with the Acrobat Crop Tools and the InDesign Import Options
   "T r i m" should be the counterpart to "E n d f o r m a t" or "Z u s c h n i t t"
   while "A n s c h n i t t" seems to be the correct interpretation of "B l e e d".
   Accordingly, "C r o p" would be referred to the german word "B e s c h n i t t ".

   The best woud be, if you replace the german wording of the InDesign "import options" as seen on the following screenshot.

   And for example: an imported PDF with varius import options.

   Thanks for listening.
   Frank

7. Align panel issues

   I'm using v 18.3 on mac.

   My align panel isn't completely viewable and looks different that it ever has before. The normal options are gone. Also, in the top toolbar, the align tools only show up when I try to align objects. The tools don't appear when I attempt to align text boxes.

   I've attached a screenshot showing how the toolbar has always looked when I've selected assets to align, one showing how those options are gone unless I'm aligning objects, and a final one of the align panel. This has been very frustrating.

8. anchored object ignores textwrap of the first line

   When anchoring an Object in a text and selecting the object to wrap around the text, the first line ignores this command.
   When searching for a solution, i stumbled upon this entry describing the problem.

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/anchoring-an-image-does-not-make-the-first-line-respect-the-wrapping-text/m-p/11572999

   the only solution seems to be to anchor the text in a previous line.
   However, I want my textanchor to be on the right spot, so a screenreader can read it correctly - so anchoring it one line above is no option for me.
   Is there a fix to this problem?

9. RTL options dissappeared in Indesign 18.3

   Indesign 18.3 - Hebrew support edition.

   Steps to reproduce the issues: Choose a text box, and try to set RTL. THERE IS NO RTL button! (Indesign 17.x had RTL and LTR buttons. But after upgrade to Indesign 18.3 - the RTL button dissappeared!)

   Expected result: Should have RTL buttons just like Indesign 17.x

   Actual result: Missing RTL buttons.

11. Words in placed document become bold after certain characters

    When we place text from a Word file, we always strip it of all existing layout. But for some reason there are some weird unicode characters that cause Indesign to make certain words bold... I'm not able to figure out why... you have a French text where a word starts with a e with an accent like ê and that word is suddely bold... even though in the Word file it isn't.

    This also happens with Italics... I once had a text that used transliteration for Ancient Egyptian that is in italic and often starts with a "Ankh" symbol: Ꜥ with the full hiëroglyph being translated as: Ꜥ-n-ḫ.

    Indesign will flip out on this... in the end we had to replace all the Ankh symbols for @ symbols, place the text to Indeisgn and switch them back.

    Also had it once for Greek text, where words randomly become bold or italic after you place them in Indesign.

    When these symbols are in the middle of words, it's fine, but when words start with these symbols, weird stuff tends to happen when you place them in Indesign. Has been doing that for years. It's weird.

    Bug: Scrolling the font menu in indesign is jumpy and somewhat unresponsive at times on M1 MacBook Pro / MacOS 13.
    It's hard to illustrate with video recording, so I do hope you test this.
    This has been persistent for months.

14. Adjust Layout Options - retain object adjustment but lock ruler guides in place

    When ruler guides are locked and the option to adjust locked content is deselected, the guides still move proportional to the margins. There needs to be an option to treat ruler guides as objects are treated, where it's possible to actually lock the ruler guides in place while still utilizing Adjust Layout.

    Numbers keys on extended keyboard not recognized when trying to fit window e.g.Ctrl+0.
    InDesign should have the same fit to window or 100% functions as Illustrator or Photoshop.
    The only thing that does work on the extended numeric keypad is the + and - keys.

19. Inconsistent names of spaces in Czech UI

    There is a mess in the names of spaces in Czech UI. The names of spaces are not consistent:

    Em Space = "Em mezera" or "Dlouhá mezera"
    En Space = "En mezera" or "Krátká mezera"
    Nonbreaking Space = "Pevná mezera" or "Nedělitelná mezera"

    Depending on the situation, the user sees either one or the other name for an identical space.

    I suggest to:
    1. Use "En mezera" and "Em mezera" only. It is not the traditional Czech name, it is an Anglicism, but quite widespread and understandable
    2. Use "Čtverčíková mezera" and "Půlčtverčíková mezera", the traditional typographic terms, nevertheless some may find it obsolete

    Terms "Dlouhá mezera" and "Krátká mezera" are confusing. It means "Long space" and "Short space". But how long? What does short means? It indicates that it is shorter than the default space, but it is actually wider. Both terms were never used in Czech language. Professionals use "Čtverčíková mezera", young people use "Em mezera". No one would ever use "Dlouhá mezera".

    As for the nonbreaking spaces, correct options for "Nonbreaking space" and "Nonbreaking space (fixed width)" are:

    Nedělitená mezera
    Nedělitená mezera (pevná šířka)
    or
    Nezlomitelná mezera
    Pevná mezera
    or
    Nedělitená mezera
    Pevná mezera

    Explanation:

    "Nedělitelná mezera" or "Nezlomitelná mezera" is the correct term for Nonbreaking space of variable width

    "Pevná mezera" is the correct name for Nonbreaking space of fixed width

    "Nedělitelná mezera (fixed with)" is a weird neologism. It is something like "Horse (with stripes)" instead of "Zebra".

20. Pasteboard flashes in sync cursor with GPU performance enabled

    In my experience, this is a new issue arising with InDesign 2023. Anytime the cursor is active in a text frame, the pasteboard flashes in sync with the cursor. If I click another application so the cursor stops flashing, the pasteboard also stops flashing. If I select the frame or something else in InDesign so the cursor disappears, it stops flashing. But anytime the cursor is active and flashing, the pasteboard also flashes. It's very annoying and distracting, and assuming it's a graphics issue, I deactivated GPU Performance. This fixed the issue. I'm on iOS 11.6.7 (with Apple M1 chip obviously). Video attached to demonstrate.
