1. Text justification algorithm is *really* sloppy.

   When the justification is set to "justified," when I add or delete text, text moves down from previous lines, making those earlier lines look really stretched out with huge spaces. This happens constantly. It looks really bad, and there's no logical reason for it.

   This happens whether "Hyphenate" is on or off.

   Each line of text should always hold as many words as it can hold (without shrinking anything to fit). What happens on any later line should never cause any change in previous lines.

   I'm using InDesign v. 19.3 x64 in Windows.

3. Crash on object state rename

   This happens to me regularly. With an object selected, I use the button for Convert selection to multi-state object from the Object States panel. If I then try to rename the states, InDesign immediately quits. Reopening InDesign takes me back to just before I created the MSO.

   I've learned to save immediately after creating MSOs and then rename states. That's my workaround. I thought it would be good to mention though, as it seems related to the old inability to rename states bug that was fixed.

   I'm using ID 19.4 on MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1

4. Two Monitors - UI Window Always Loads Off Screen - Can't Resize Mac OS 14.5

   This has been a bug for at least 5 years with InDesign (see link at the bottom of the post).

   When a Mac user has two monitors, if the primary monitor is situated "lower" than the secondary monitor in a side-by-side configuration in the Display "Arrange" setting (see screenshot, main display is laptop, on right), then the windows will always load slightly off screen, locking the user out of moving them or rearranging them.

   There is a temporary fix to put the main monitor "higher" than the secondary monitor in the horizontal arrangement.

   However, this is an unacceptable long term fix. The Display Arrangement tool is so that you can position your monitors virtually how they are set up physically to make moving things between them intuitive and easy.

   Moving them out of alignment to accommodate one weird Adobe product issue is silly.

   Mac users with multiple side-by-side monitors is NOT a small part of the InDesign userbase. This is not a niche issue. Many many users have this basic setup. This bug has existed for way too long, since at least 2019.

   Please fix this.

5. Design flaw and bug: empty table cells can have a font assigned

   Found in: ID 2022
   If you have a table and put text into a cell, the text has at least one font assigned. When removing the text again, the cell becomes empty but seems to keep the font assignment, which is illogical. No text, no font. Later, if you open the document on another PC which doesn't have that font would cause a missing font issue for no reason.

   Even worse: going into the "Find/replace font" dialog you can find the empty cell with the missing font, but you cannot fix it, because Change or Change all have no effect. The only way to change the font, because you cannot simply unassign, is to select the entire cell and set a font that is available . When you have, like, 100 empty cells it can be a very annoying job to do and might not be circumvented by selecting the entire table and setting the font when non-empty cells have several fonts assigned.

6. Publish online - Play videos

   I was trying to play a video in Publish Online there are 4 buttons to play each video but every time I click on one button, it all comes out in one click.

   The links to each button seem all correct but when it comes to playing online it seems the button doesn't control the videos

8. hyperlink removes style

   This is ID 19.4.

   Hello– I have a character style applied to some (but not all) of the text in a TOC (see Attachment 1). As a test, we'll consider the word BELFAST, which has this specific style applied to it: font Roboto Bold, size 10, leading 12, All Caps, PMS 5275 CMYK.

   However, when I use the 'Add Hyperlink' function to the entire text block (from BELFAST to the page #), the previously described style I have applied onto BELFAST is removed (see second attachment).

   The particular TOC I'm showing you is short so no biggie, but I have several of these books and some of the TOCs are quite long so this issue becomes tedious to correct.

   Is there a logical explanation for this, or a bug? Let me know if you need more details. Tx!

9. Scripting bug with Book files and the new EPUB Page Navigation option

   In InDesign 19.4 on macOS 14.4.1, the document.epubExportPreferences.epubCreatePageNavigation and book.epubExportPreferences.epubCreatePageNavigation properties are supposed to allow scripts to toggle the reflowable EPUB "page navigation" option on and off. However, only the document.epubExportPreferences.epubCreatePageNavigation property functions properly. The book.epubExportPreferences.epubCreatePageNavigation doesn't do anything. Regardless of whether it is "true" or "false", the output always includes the page break markers when outputting reflowable ePub from a book file via scripting.

11. When duplicating page(s) the layout breaks

    I'm on windows 11.
    Since updating to 19.4 i noticed that everytime i duplicate a page it moves my whole layout around. It happens not only if i alt drag the page, also if i right click duplicate and when i made an alternate layout in the page panel. It also doesn't matter if i lock a layer. Everything gets moved a little bit to the right or the left, to the top or bottom. Sometimes it also slightly scales an image i believe. The only thing i can do against it, is copy the whole spread and paste it on a new blank page, but that's really annoying, especially since it doesn't copy it to the different layers it was on.

    The first screenshot is an example of how it's supposed to look and the second how it ends up looking if i duplicate it.

12. OpenType features bug, missing glyphs on PDF export and convert to outlines

    I've run into a bug when converting text to outlines, and PDF export, relating to OpenType Features.

    I have a font, Chartwell, that has worked perfectly in InDesign for 13+ years. I recently received this bug report from a customer, but am able to recreate it on my end.

    In InDesign’s UI, everything still seems to work correctly. However, when exporting a PDF or converting the text to outlines, some glyphs disappear completely. (See image)

    The font uses complex Discretionary Ligatures to pull off substituting pie chart shapes. The issue doesn't appear for all discretionary ligatures, but something about this specific feature code is triggering something in InDesign? I’ve done some debugging, but can’t find the exact thing that is triggering it, although it may be related to changing text colors breaking context in a substitution.

    I believe the issue in InDesign, since this hasn’t been an issue in the past, doesn’t show up in Illustrator, and only happens on PDF export and creating outlines. I also believe I’m following the OpenType Feature spec correctly. (See second image for a simplified example of the feature code)

    I've created a simplified example InDesign file and OTF that shows the issue. I’m happy to send this over or talk directly to engineers, or help debug this further. Thanks

    More about the font in question: https://www.vectrotype.com/chartwell

14. UI settings greyed out

    No one EVER solves this. Those of us who work on TV monitors (for the large size) can never get the panels text (among other things) to scale up so they are legible. This causes great eyestrain and is just terrible, over all. Usually, it is suggested that I change my resolution, but I can't do that, because it would ***** up everything else on my computer, including ID. This problem has been around for about 20 years, and the folks at InDesign don't care. They have never fixed it.

16. InDesign resets window position set by Magnet utility on macOS

    In the current v19.4 (2024), when I use the common utility Magnet to resize the InDesign window (i.e. the Application Frame) to full screen, InDesign itself will reset the window position as soon as I ⌘-tab out of InDesign and return to it. No other app on my Mac does this, and it's very frustrating. Manual window size changes are honoured.

    There are other inconcistencies about InDesign's window positioning on macOS too — if it opens on my laptop screen, the application bar (above the control panel) appears under the menu bar and is almost invisible.

    Please fix.

17. CC Libraries palette vibrates nonstop

    InDesign ver 19.4, when I click on the CC Libraries palette, the scroll bar and the bottom of the palette vibrates or jumps vertically up and down nonstop. I can't get it to stop. Closing and re-opening the palette didn't help. Restarting ID didn't help. Very distracting when using your libraries palette.

20. Request: import of layers when placing a child INDD

    At the moment, there is only the option in the extended Place dialog to switch layers of the placed child INDD on or off. Switching layers of a child object should be possible in the parent INDD. Would be way more convenient than right-clicking every child object and select the Layer options.
