1. content aware fit and linked images problem

   Content aware fit is a great idea and is potentially a real timesaver when importing images but I've had to disable it as when updating existing linked images that have been adjusted, rather than keep their size/scale as before they all auto-fit and this is a nightmare when you have carefully placed images such as logos in a long document.

   Could do with an option to auto fit on image import only, or an option to override when updating image links. Unless I've missed something?

3. [ID-4213625]Indesign performance issue : Bad performance when using span columns in InDesign/InCopy

   VERSIONS
   Windows 7, CC 2015.4 and CC 2017.0
   Windows 10, CC 2015.4 and CC 2017.0
   macOS 10.12, CC 2015.4
   even CS6 versions are affected...

   ---

   STEPS TO REPRODUCE
   1. Create an InDesign document with several pages
   2. Define the text frame options with two columns
   3. Link all frames and fill with placeholder text
   4. Create a new paragraph style with the option "span columns" (e.g. title)
   5. Define several parts of the layout with the new paragraph style
   6. Edit some text near the paragraph style
   --> the performance while typing is very very bad!!!

   ---

   EXPECTED RESULT
   InDesign and InCopy should still be usable when a layout file was built using either "span column" or "split column" (e.g. using a paragraph style > "Span Columns").

   ---

   ACTUAL RESULT
   Very bad performance - working is NOT possible anymore

   VERSIONS
   Windows 7, CC 2015.4 and CC 2017.0
   Windows 10, CC 2015.4 and CC 2017.0

4. [ID-4256547] InDesign 2025 Won't Lock "Constrain Proportions"

   When creating a frame, rectangle, any object, or selecting any other object, InDesign 2025 will not keep Constrain Proportions locked when the lock icon is clicked on the control bar.

   The user now has to click it while they select each object and want to scale an object by scaling either the width or height.

   I didn't notice this at first, but found out from a Reddit post.

5. [ID-4257735]One Frame Grid Remains Unchanged When Modifying Multiple Selected Frame Grids

   InDesign CS4 (v6) and Later

   When changing the “Number of Characters per Line” or “Number of Lines” for multiple selected frame grids, one of the frame grids always fails to update. This bug, first observed in CS4 (v6), remains unresolved.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Select multiple frame grids.
   2. Go to the menu and choose “Object > Frame Grid Options...”
   3. Modify the “Number of Characters per Line” or “Number of Lines” settings.

   Result: Changes are not reflected in one of the frame grids. It appears that the frame grid with the smallest object ID does not get updated.

   Expected Result: All selected frame grids should reflect the changes.

6. [ID-4245422]Underlines are drawn in the space left by "danraku jisage".

   When I use "danraku jisage " in the "mojigumi akiryou settei" , an underline is underlined in the empty space at the beginning of a line.
   Since there are no characters in the empty space, it is correct that underlines are not underlined in the same way as when indentation is used to lower the line.

   「文字組みアキ量設定」で「段落字下げ」を行ったとき、行頭の空いている部分にも下線が引かれてしまう。
   空いている部分には文字はないので、インデントで下げたときと同じように、下線は引かれないのが正しい。

   InDesign's Window size set by user prior to entering Presentation mode is not retained upon exiting from Presentation mode when connected to external monitor and with the UI Scaling set to other than Small setting.
   InDesign's window becomes fullscreen.
   It would be great to get back to same size and position.

8. problem with optical margin alignment and world-ready paragraph composer

   1. This happens in multiple versions of InDesign. I've reproduced it in ID CS 6 (8.1.0.420), ID CC 2019 (14.0.3.433), ID 2021 (16.4.0.55), and ID 2022 (17.0.0.68).

   2. Steps to reproduce:
      (1) Open InDesign
      (2) Create a new empty document
      (3) Create a text frame that is 100 mm by 100 mm
      (4) Place Text4.txt
      (5) Go Type > Story > check Optical Margin Alignment

   3. Expected result:
      The left margin should be somewhat ragged because the * character needs to be shifted left to make the margin appear straight. The right margin should be completely even because each line ends with the same word.

   4. Actual result:
      The left margin is correctly ragged. The right margin is ragged instead of being even.

   5. Text4.jpg shows the result with the ragged right margin.

   6. Notes:
      (1) This bug occurs with the World-Ready Paragraph Composer. It does not occur with the Adobe Paragraph Composer. Switching the composer produces the expected results.
      (2) This bug is related to soft hyphens (0xAD). If these are removed from the data then the expected results are produced.

11. InDesign CC 2018 workspace loading incorrectly

    Since InDesign 2015 I have had the workspace customised for daily use however every time I restart InDesign my workspace shows it’s still selected however the panels collapse and some disappear entirely. I need to select reset workspace every single time without changing anything else and it goes back to my setup.

    Is there a way to make this remember, as I thought saving workspaces is what this is supposed to be doing? And considering that I can reset my workspace and it does come back then something else is happening.

12. [ID-4257736]InDesign hangs when placing CJK tagged text with ruby

    I'm currently using ID 2024, but I have tested other versions of ID, back to CS6, and they all have the same problem. I'm currently running Windows 11, but the problem also occurs in Windows 10.

    Steps:

    1. Install the Adobe font family, Source Han Sans TW, on your computer.
    2. Download TaggedText.zip and unzip it
    3. Open InDesign in the CJK version
    4. Create a new document with these grid attributes: Direction = Vertical; Font = Source Han Sans TW, Normal; Size = 16 pt; Vertical = Horizontal = 100%; Char Aki = 0 pt; Line Aki = 10 pt; Characters = 40; Lines = 15
    5. Go File > Place... > choose TaggedText.txt
    6. After TaggedText.txt is loaded into the "cursor" <shift-click> inside the frame

    It would be nice if InDesign would place the text and allow me to continue working with the data. Unfortunately, InDesign hangs and I have to kill it with the Task Manager.

    UserVoice does not allow uploading zip files so here is the link to TaggedText.zip:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pndkPDCXuja6eh3kv-Yipfzrq0UcsISd/view?usp=sharing
    (Contact me if you have problems downloading it.)

    I have a video showing how to reproduce the bug:
    https://www.loom.com/share/733195ba2f5a4b2abb6faae10835b4ad?sid=036cf1f2-a772-476c-a8ee-ab126ce0f2dd

    I'm pretty sure the problem is related to ruby in the tagged text. It is possible to place the text using the debug version of InDesign available through adobeprerelease.com which leads me to think that the tagged text is acceptable. My request is to fix the regular version of InDesign so that it can place this tagged text just like the debug version can.

    At this point InDesign is hung.

    I'm currently using ID 2024, but I have tested other versions of ID, back to CS6, and they all have the same problem. I'm currently running Windows 11, but the problem also occurs in Windows 10.

    Steps:

    1. Install the Adobe font family, Source Han Sans TW, on your computer.
    2. Download TaggedText.zip and unzip it
    3. Open InDesign in the CJK version
    4. Create a new document with these grid attributes: Direction = Vertical; Font = Source Han Sans TW, Normal; Size = 16 pt; Vertical = Horizontal = 100%; Char Aki = 0 pt; Line Aki = 10 pt; Characters = 40;… more

13. Return the use of "master pages" instead of "parent pages"

    In the latest version Adobe decided that their job was to educate us to speak proper language, which is why the word "master pages" was replaced with "parent pages".
    We do not find any problem with the phrase "master pages" and believe that it is not Adobe's role to dictate policy according to progressive agendas.
    We demand to return to the previous concept of "master pages".
    The term "parent pages" is confusing and misleading, with all the documentation of the software on the web for 2 decades referring to master pages.

14. Serious problem of "^" for GREP search

    Enter only "^" in the GREP search string field and click the search button to select the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph. But this cannot be used for replacement. The replacement result is 0.
    I gave up that it was only useful for simple pointing tricks, but when I run it from a script the application hangs.

    It is like this. (When executed, the rainbow cursor will rotate forever.
    Please be careful. )

    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^";
    var res = app.activeDocument.findGrep ();

    If the replacement string field is "~ c" (the contents of the clipboard), the first character is lost from the original text instead of entering it.
    This is also a very dangerous behavior.

    Requests for improvement include:
    Improved to prevent hang when executing the above script,
    If possible, replace text (add a character string to the beginning of a paragraph).

    GREP検索文字列の欄に"^"だけを入力、検索ボタンをクリックすると、段落の先頭の挿入点が選択されます。しかしこれを置換には利用できません。置換結果は0個となります。
    単なるポインティングの小技にしか役に立たないと諦めていましたが、これをスクリプトから実行するとアプリケーションがハングアップします。

    こんな具合です。（実行するとレインボーカーソルが永遠に回転します。
    ご注意ください。）

    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^";
    var res = app.activeDocument.findGrep();

    また、置換文字列の欄が"~c"（クリップボードの内容）などの場合、それが入る代わりに元のテキストから先頭の1文字が失われます。
    これも非常に危険な挙動であると言えます。

    改善の要望としては、
    上記のようなスクリプトを実行した際にハングアップしないよう改善、
    そして可能であればテキストを置換（段落の先頭に文字列を追加）できるよう改善。

    Enter only "^" in the GREP search string field and click the search button to select the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph. But this cannot be used for replacement. The replacement result is 0.
    I gave up that it was only useful for simple pointing tricks, but when I run it from a script the application hangs.

    It is like this. (When executed, the rainbow cursor will rotate forever.
    Please be careful. )

    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^";
    var res = app.activeDocument.findGrep ();

    If the replacement string field is "~ c" (the contents of the clipboard), the first character… more

16. [ID-4254090]Drag-duplicating an object with Alt key pressed does not duplicate, if moving on a separate page

    If I try to duplicate an object to another page, across the pasteboard border, by holding the Alt key and dragging with mouse, the object only moves there. If I want to duplicate an object to another page, I have to first duplicate it on the same page and then move it to another page.

    However, as that is unintuitive, I still constantly try to duplicate an object across the page border, leading me to undo back after I find out the object didn't actually duplicate, but instead I have moved the original object (and oftentimes edited it a lot already).

    As I find no particular reason why the duplicate shouldn't work across two pages, I believe this is a bug, or at least an oversight.

    Try closing the document that shows the Background Tasks as queued. If the Auto-Activate Adobe Fonts option has been selected and you are connected to the internet, fonts in your document should get auto-activated.
    Please try once again and let us know.

20. Indesign incredibly slow or crashes with more than one document open

    InDesign (15.0.2) becomes almost unusable with more than (1) document open. Trying to copy text or images from one document to the next or just work in one of the documents while the other is open results in minutes-long wait times (or complete crash) to even select a text box, type a character, etc.

    Steps to reproduce:
    Open INDD doc (either on network or desktop)
    Open second INDD doc
    Attempt to edit text in either doc or copy over text from one document to the next

    Set-up info:
    InDesign 15.0.2
    Windows 10 Enterprise // 10.0.17763

    Trouble-shooting included:
    - Turned off all plug-ins
    - Turned off all preferences related to instant rendering of image, type, previews
    - Turned off pre-flight
    -Turned off type previews, variable characters, etc
    -Display is set to typical (although, it happens in FAST as well)

    Happening across regional team of 20+ users all working on the same Windows version and similar computers (Lenovo)
