double clicking (to select a word) or triple clicking (to select a line) is not working properly in the newest update.
double clicking (to select a word) or triple clicking (to select a line) is not working properly in the newest update. Double clicking may just insert the cursor in the middle of a word or worse is only selecting part of the word, triple clicking sometimes just selects the word and not the whole line. All preferences are properly set. It just started with 19.0.1

crash at every startup
InDesign crashes on every startup from this computer (Win11 Intel i9 G13, 64GB RAM, nvidia RTX 3600). This bug happens in all versions of InDesign installed trough CreativeCloud (also the 4 previous versions). When I start the app trough the CreativeCloud application it starts up without issues. When I start it trough the TaskBar icon, StartMenu or by double clicking an indd file it craches. Crash information bug report attached.
Note: My Windows user account is always elevated (admin privileges) and UAC is disabled. I tried starting up Indesign as a normal user but the salme crash happens.

equation
Hi,
Questions from VilniusTECH University about equations printing problems. We have many equations in books and journals and when exporting to PDF, they sometimes lose characters. The most interesting thing is that equations prints once with errors but the next time exporting without errors, although no corrections were made. Equations are formated with Mathtype in a MS Word file and imported to InDesign 19.0.1 become non-editable EPS files. Changing equations fonts, PDF export profiles or Indesign versions does not help. MathMagic is not suitable for us because cannot automatically format questions with our profiles in MS Word file. Please see…

Spot colors flagged because their name includes the word "pantone"
InDesign 19
Steps: Opening any file with manually-built spot colors with the word "pantone" in their names brings up the "this document uses Pantone colors" blue nag
Expected: that spot colors built manually, not using any installed color books, will be left alone
Actual: apparently the software flags the word "pantone", regardless of its originSummary: Manually-created spot colors are being flagged in Indesign because they have Pantone in their names. I legally purchased Pantone books in prior years, and the colors I'm using were built by referring to the builds from those books. I am not using any installed…

Recent File menu text garbled
When opening InDesign and seeing the Recent File menu filter screen before opening a document, the text is garbled, almost as if it's layered over previous versions of the same file. See screengrab attached.

Auto-Size Frames create Overset Text when scaled or embedded
Indd 2022 (German), v 17.4.2.77
A recurring Bug: when auto-size text frames are embedded into each other and then placed from CC Libraries into a document and/or the included paragraph styles are updated, the frame collapses and creates overset Text.
Similarily, the frames sometimes expland to ridiculous sizes. Usually, this can be "fixed" by typing in a new character and then deleting it, causing the frame to reevaluate its size. However it severely impacts the usability of our standard assets.
Another issue: if a text frame is set to "auto-size" and there are borders set within the text frame, it…

Design disappears in workspace, only selections are visible
This issue seems to happen out of nowhere. Sometimes when revisiting InDesign, sometimes when zooming in or out. My whole design disappears into the workspace, only showing the selections when I click them.
The only fix for now is saving and restarting InDesign, but it's very inconvenient.
I am using macOS Sonoma 14.1, and InDesign 18.5.1.

About the default file format for PDF export of a book
Indesign 18.5 x64
Windows 10 64bit
Japanese versionSelecting the default format for pdf export of books
Due to the file type being in string order, the interactive format pdf is the default.
It takes a step to select the print-ready format pdf, and one out of two times I accidentally select the interactive format.
I almost never select the interactive format in my work.
That being said, I think some users would prefer the interactive format to be the default, so we should be able to set the default format for the book's PDF output from the settings. Or,…1 vote -

Stile di carattere
Non è una nuova idea. è un bug dall'ultimo aggiornamento. Se faccio una stringa di testo e seleziono stile di carattere ad esempio corsivo, tondo chiaro ecc. selezionando la singola parola e applico lo stile influisce sull'intera strinca a differenza della precedente versione che teneva lao stile solo sul testo selezionato pur nella stressa riga.

Custom fonts in bold/black appears thin and bold in latest versions of InDesign and Photoshop
Custom fonts in bold appears alternately as bold and thin in the latest version of InDesign (19.0.1) and Photoshop (25.1) I've tried deleting all apps and installing again, but it doesn't help. The problem only occurs in Adobe programs. Not in Word etc. It works fine, when I'm installing an older version of InDesign, fx 18.5.
The font that is used is the Google font "Outline".

Images are being flipped on InDesign 2023 > 2024 update
As title describes, I have a file that is suitable for InDesign 2023 (18.5.0.57), when I open it in InDesign 2024 (19.0.0.151) some rare cases (twice in 1 day) there have been images that have been flipped upside down.
Fortunately both times the client's have picked this up, I work for a print industry and send back PDFs for print approval. This is the final stage before print.
