2. Hyperlinks

   I use a lot of hyperlinks in a document which link to the individual products on our website for online ordering and stock levels.

   The Hyperlink panel frequently corrupts - I lose the ‘traffic light’ link status indicator and location of the link (page No.) - meaning I have to remove InDesign and execute a clean install to get the feature back.

4. Save As, Export and import file locations not behaving after Mac OS Tahoe update

   Previously for many older versions of Indesign, Indesign will remember your document, PDF export and import locations.

   Save As would always take you to where your current document is, PDF export would take you to your last PDF export location for that particular document, and Import would take you to your last import location.

   Since upgrading to Mac OS Tahoe - all of this has gone haywire. Save As will sometimes take me to the last location of the PDF export, PDF export will sometimes take me to where the document is located. And import is the same. I am now saving documents in the wrong folder all the time, my PDFs are all mixed up, and now that I am aware of the problem I have to check and re-navigate everytime I Save As or Export or Import. It's slowing me down a huge amount and mistakes are still being made.

   This needs to be addressed and returned to the previous workflow settings ASAP!!!!!

7. When copying text between InDesign documents, the Word order changes

   When copying text between InDesign documents, the Word order changes

   I have a textlbox with this content:

    "22. DEZ - 03. JAN Weihnachtsferien Ende"
   

   I copy this block of text to the clipboard. Then I switch to another InDesign document and paste the text from the clipboard into it. In the target document, however, InDesign changes the order of the text components into a completely meaningless sequence

    "JAN Weihnachtsferien Ende .03 - DEZ .22"
   

   I made another attempt with this text:

    "Eins 6 Zwei 5 Drei 4 Vier 3 Fünf 2 Sechs 1"
   

   In the target document, InDesign turns it into the following text:

    "1 Sechs 2 Fünf 3 Vier 4 Drei 5 Zwei 6 Eins"
   

   So it seems that the sorting isn't arbitrary, but rather a specific order is being achieved. But what's the point of this nonsense? How can I prevent this nonsensical behavior?

   I use Release 20.5 x64 on Win10

9. 2-9% CPU usage when application is in background/minimized - happens on multiple computers

   2-9% CPU usage when application is in background/minimized. This happens on multiple computers. Older machines have seen up to 30% in IDLE. My newer PC runs 2-3% even with only one document open.

   This is unsustainable both for PC resource use, energy efficiency, and usability.

   There is no GOOD reason for this.

   It has been an issue for multiple years now. Please fix!

10. [ID-4265787]InDesign 20.4.0 and above freezes when connected with Enterprise VPN

    Impossible to work with the latest version of InDesign 20.5. The screen freezes after a few second work. Only "end task" on Task manager is closing the program. (Working on PC under Windows 11 Enterprise)
    Only solution in the meantime is to switch to Version 19.5.5.

11. The first letter typed in is English even when my system is set to Hebrew

    I'm using Indesign 20.5 on an Intel Mac Pro running Mac OS Sequoia 15.6.
    Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:
    1. Insert a new text box and enter some English text.
    2. Select the text
    3. Change the keyboard input to Hebrew.
    4. Start typing in Hebrew.

    The resulting text will be an English letter (corresponding to the Hebrew letter typed in) followed by the correct Hebrew letters typed.
    Two things to note:
    1. You must select all the text in the text box for this issue to take place.
    2. For some reason Adobe fonts are immune to this issue

12. Preferences reset popup penalty

    When an existing user has been driven by degrading performance to the extreme step of resetting user preferences, please do not also make us undergo the maddening experience of dealing with the ENDLESS blue popups / tooltips / ads for the features we've already seen and considered. You could make an argument for forcing a user to deal with the blue boxes on a major upgrade. A preferences reset is not the same situation. Please consider reducing the burden of this type of visual pollution in our workspaces.

13. Add colour values to swatch list when placing file from Illustrator

    It would be beneficial if, when placing a file in an InDesign document from illustrator, that the colour value information of that file be added to the Swatches menu. Strangely, the colour values do import into my Swatches when I copy and paste an object I’ve created in Illustrator onto my artboard but not when I place/import that object within a picture box.

    Another minor gripe - when pasting an object it does not retain the name of the colour if it has a custom name - it only brings the swatch in as the colour values.

15. Bug on page naming

    In Indesign 25.0, on Mac,
    Despite having named the pages with a letter (here, "C" in the screenshot) the pages are not correctly named.
    Therefore, all my custom scripts that are using the special naming don't work anymore. Please, fix the bug.
    It used to work just fine before

16. Find/Change | Glyph | Failure to find characters with applied character styles

    Version: Adobe InDesign 19.5.4 and 20.3.1

    I cannot post a .zip here apparently, so I've put my InDesign file.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Make a character style that ONLY sets the font to bold.
    2. put down a glyph twice, I used the AE glyph (GID/CID 138).
    3. For one, apply bold manually.
    4. For the other, apply the bold character style.
    5. Open the Find/Change Glyph menu and enter the GID/CID used, along with the font and bold style.

    Expected Result:
    Both of the glyphs would be found

    Actual Result:
    Only the glyph without the character style applied will be found.

    As listed in multiple other reports, managing missing glyphs is a major pain point.

17. Bug: Wrong centered text justification in round text frames

    Center-aligned text in round text frames is misaligned, i.e. too far to the left. Please see screenshots for all details.
    As soon as you convert the frame to a rectangular one, text is aligned to center correctly.
    This is simply a calculation bug which should be fixed now finally - it persists for years already.

19. Eyedropper tool should not copy content fill by default.

    I don't think I have ever needed to copy the content fill settings from one image frame to another, but by default the eyedropper tool copies how the photo fills the frame, which is pretty annoying.

    Requested Feature: Please add a checkbox specifically for content fill. Please have it unchecked by default.

    Right now you can only disable content fill from being apply by unchecking "color and tint," which doesn't make sense and is not intuitive.

    Expectation 1: eyedrop a frame to copy it's color/stoke/ other attributes, but not content fill which changes the size/position of the image within the frame
    Result 1: eyedrop tool copies content fill, requiring me to reposition the photo again, or manually update other attributes.

    Expectation 2: after learning you could potentially change what attributes the eyedropper changes, I looked for something like "content fill" but found nothing.

    Result 2: By process of elemination, I fouund that "Color and Tint" disabled content fill from being copied.

20. Creative Suite apps are INSANELY slow

    All Creative Cloud programs are insanely slow and lagging. It's nearly impossible to use 2 or 3 of them at the same time, and I need to restart my computer every hour to even be able to do some very basic tasks. The problem is happening in all programs, Indesign, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro ertc.
    This is happening on ALL computers I used in past years, and everything was up to date. It's not about 3rd party add-ons or resetting preferences, or any advice you offer.
    Some weeks ago I killed off all Adobe/CC background processes and everything worked perfect until the next time I restarted the computer. I tried to re-do this, but it doesn't help any more, or I can't remember what exactly I did.
    Obviously - it's some unoptimized background process or service causing it.
    I can see on forums that many other users have the same problem.
    You should take this seriously and finally fix it up. This is causing lots of problems and time is being wasted for millions of your users.
