1. 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.

2. 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。

3. [ID-4236500]Repackaged book-document cross-references do not update file path

   A series of documents in a Book have cross-references to one another. All are correct and working properly.

   I create a new package for my publisher and test the cross-references:
   they are pointing at locations in my original files rather than the ones in the new package.

   Since those files exist, the cross-references have good status. Moving that package to a new computer breaks them, of course.

9. 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)

10. [ID-4216889]Objects on the page jump if a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page and vice versa

    Hi developers,
    this is a longstanding bug:

    With facing pages documents on EVERY document page there is a zone where jumping of objects will happen.

    I call this the jump zone. All objects on a page that will jump are clearly inside the page's area. The bug has nothing to do with rounding errors where object edges are at the edge of a page.

    The objects should not move if pages are added or removed, if numbering of pages is changing. Nevertheless they do. Always. Unless, the zone has a width of zero.

    Below all the details.

    What is a jump zone?
    If horizontal values for left and right margins differ, there is a BUG that in effect forms a zone on the page.
    I call this zone JUMP ZONE because objects that touch the zone with their edges could jump horizontally.

    When will objects jump?
    1. When a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page OR a right-hand page becomes a left-hand page.

    1. When a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page and later when a right-hand page becomes a left-hand page again.

    This could happen within a single InDesign document open.

    WARNING:
    It could even happen to InDesign documents that are not visibly open.
    That's with InDesign documents that are part of a InDesign book file.
    The book file's feature with auto-numbering pages can do this even if no document is visibly open.
    The damage is done if auto-numbering took place AND the book file is saved.

    How large is the jump zone?
    The height of the zone is the height of the page.
    The width of the zone can be calculated:
    inner margin MINUS outer margin

    How large is the jump?
    The width of the jump zone.

    Where is the jump zone positioned?
    Positive value: The zone is at the spine of the page.
    Objects that touch the zone jump towards the spine.

    Negative value: The zone is at the edge of a page away from the spine.
    Objects that touch the zone jump away from spine.

    What versions of InDesign are affected?
    All versions CC up to InDesign 2020, Mac OS X and Windows.
    InDesign CS6, Mac OS X and Windows.

    Possibly also InDesign CS5 and CS5.5, Mac OS X and Windows.
    I did not test this.

    How can I avoid jump zones?
    Make right and left margin values the same!

    Are there workarounds if I cannot avoid jump zones?

    1. Anchor objects
       that touch the jump zone to text frames that do not touch the jump zone.
       Nested objects will not jump if the parent objects are not touching the jump zone.

    2. Group an object
       to another one that is touching the top or the bottom edge of the page.
       Tests are showing that objects will not jump if they touch the bottom OR the top of the page.
       ( OR both, bottom and top edges of the page .)

    Other things to consider about moving objects?
    The following is independently of jump zones:
    Objects could move to other pages if their edges touch exactly the horizontal edges on pages in facing pages.
    Depending on the version of InDesign this could also happen with objects touching the spine.
    Reason: Rounding errors.

    What can provoke all this?
    1. Add or remove an odd number of pages
    so that left-hand pages become right-hand pages and vice versa.

    1. Renumber start pages of sections so that left-hand pages become right-hand pages and vice versa.

    Note:
    Every document has at least one section by default.
    The start of that section is the first page in the document.

    PS: Why does InDesign Uservoice not permit to attach files with suffix .indd ?
    Message: "Invalid file type: .indd files not allowed."
    Isn't that rather absurd?

11. No keyboard focus on launch

    InDesign 14.0.1.209, macOS Mojave 10.14.2

    When launched and the following conditions hold, InDesign does not seem to have keyboard focus (i.e.., no keyboard shortcuts work):

    1. Show ‘Start’ Workspace When No Documents Are Open is unticked.
    2. The Control bar is open in the default workspace.
    3. The CC Libraries panel is either not in the default workspace or collapsed.

    Note that conditions 2 and 3 are met by several of the standard workspace, for example both Advanced and Typography (but not Book, Essentials or Essentials Classic).

    If you choose a menu item or click in an input field, the app gains keyboard focus. Otherwise you seem to be able to type endlessly without any discernible effect.

13. Accessible PDF Exported from ID contains SPANS in Reading Order panel

    InDesign Version: 13.1

    To reproduce issue, create an InDesign document with some styles, map styles to tags and export to PDF with tags (accessible pdf).

    Expected result is that in the Reading Order panel (and Content pane), each paragraph is wrapped in an appropriate container.

    The actual result is that each line of text within a paragraph is wrapped in a span container.

    Although this doesn't seem to directly affect the accessibility of the file, it makes additional remediation difficult because of the many containers found in the PDF file.

15. InDesign 2024 starts with "CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2023")" in an environment where 2023 and 2024 coexist.

    Reproduction steps
    1. InDesign 2023 (18.x) is installed on Windows
    2. Install InDesign 2024 (19.0) there.
    3. Run the following code in VBScript.
    Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2023")

    Expected result
    InDesign 2024 (19.0) will start.

    Actual result
    InDesign 2023 (18.0) will start.

    cause
    InDesign 2024 installer is overwriting the 2023 registry.
    \HKCR\CLSID{231441AB-8969-4F6D-8CD1-B596C4047898}
    is the registry for InDesign 2023, but the InDesign 2024 installer has rewritten the contents to InDesign 2024. The same goes for related registries.

16. InDesign opens documents in read only after upgrading to InDesign 2023(18.0)

    Indesign CC 2023 version 18.0 Files open as “Read Only”
    As soon as updated, some files have started to open “Read Only” (RO)
    My OS: Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19044 or 21H2
    PC Desktop
    I am working remotely through a VPN to a server IP address
    I have Indesign 2023 18.0 , and Indesign CS6 installed. I have not opened the CS6 in years. Also noted: My machine does not automatically uninstall the former version when it updates. I manually uninstalled Indesign 2022 after I started using the 2023. At first I thought the RO problem was a conflict, so that was the first thing I did.
    Older version files open up as “converted” ok
    I am able to do all writing on my remote server, I can “save as”, and export files, create folders, delete files, ect.
    If I copy a file that opens RO to my local desktop, I can then open it fine (read/write - RW). If I make changes to that file, save, and then copy it back to remote server, it will open as RO again.
    This does not seem to be happening to every file. I started working on 2 files yesterday, opened and made changes, saved, and closed both multiple times in the morning, then a couple hours later, they opened RO. Then another hour later, one of them opened ok -RW.
    I have a coworker that has the same PC OS Windows system version, and same Indesign version. We both access to the files through same VPN, he is just not in same location as me (about 20 miles away). However, his system automatically uninstalled older versions when it updates. He can open the same files that open RO for me, and they open fine, RW, for him.
    If I open a brand new blank file and I copy and paste all contents from a file that opened RO, then close the RO file and save my Untitled document over it, it will them open up ok when I go back immediately and open it. However, if I go back to open that file, say an hour later, It may or may not open up “Read Only” again.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Indesign 2023, and checking to make sure updated. I have unplugged (reset) my modem.
    I cannot change my preferences for updates to uninstall older versions at this time as I have a graphics card issue with the latest version of Photoshop. I cannot go back to using Indesign 2022, as my cowerker has already been using 2023 for awhile and many files are converted.
    It seems to be intermittent, and almost like there is a problem with files not closing properly? Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

17. [ID-4236366]Scripts using BridgeTalk do not work on M1 Macs (regardless of CC version)

    ID version: InDesign CC 2021 (16.3.2)
    OS: macOS Big Sur 11.5.2
    Processor: Apple M1

    When I try to run a script that uses BridgeTalk and works with Photoshop, it does not work.
    Also, a simple script using BridgeTalk will not work as well.
    Those scripts do work in CC 2021 on Intel Mac and macOS Big Sur 11.5.2.

    Hi,

    The issue is under review.

18. On Export - "Save As" name field not consistently highlighted by default

    1. 15.1.3 version
    2. Open InDesign, open file, click on a page, CMD E to export.
    3. Expect "SAVE AS" field highlighted to be able to change export name, as with previous versions.
    4. Sometimes nothing appears to be highlighted, taking hitting TAB several times to get to the "SAVE AS" field. However, sometimes it is highlighted - so this is not a consistant problem - as sometimes it does come up highlighted. It does seem that when I first open a file / export - that it is not highlighted, but after that, it does come up correctly highlighted.

    This is not a consistant problem, which is what makes it a problem. You never know if you can just type a new file name, or do you have to grab the mouse to get to the SAVE AS field, or try to TAB to the field, not really knowing how many times it takes to TAB over.

    Thank you!

19. Can't share from Adobe Comp CC on the iPad (which is the whole reason I signed up for a trial)

    Sharing to InDesign causes Comp CC to Crash! The whole reason I signed up for the InDesign trial is to see how it works with Comp. Please fix or extend my trial until this has ben handled!
