1. Page Margins Bug

   I am having a bug/issue with margins. In the page setup and the properties dialogues the measurements are showing as the defaults, but clearly they have been changed as noted in the attached file. This file was created in an earlier version of INDD.

   Resolved For User  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Senior Lead Quality Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

   The Document Setup shows the Margins of the document when it was created or margins that will be assigned to any new pages you add to the document. However, you can override margins of individual pages by using the Margins and Columns dialog. And this is what has been done for the Page – the Top and Outside margins have been set to 25mm and 45mm respectively (changed from their default setting of 12.7mm).
   Hope this helps.

2. Damaged capitals

   In Design 19.3 x64
   After pouring in an editable file (MS Word 2010), where the capitals were in the footnotes in the names of the author(s) and editor(s) the capitals did not include the last letter of the last name or the last two letters.
   Earlier versions (3-4 updates) worked fine.
   Selecting the author's name and including capitals does not help. Further the last letter (or two) are not capitals. You have to mark the name and a comma (sometimes even a space) to make the full name capitals.
   It takes more time, more attention to correct all the footnotes. This is irritating.

3. Line Jumps by Half its Stroke Weight in InDesign CC (Version 18.3)

   In InDesign CC (Version 18.3), there is a persistent bug where a line jumps unexpectedly by half its stroke weight when attempting to change its length. This issue has been present for some time and occurs consistently. Enabling or disabling the scaling options in the settings does not have any effect on this behavior.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Open InDesign CC (Version 18.3) on the affected system.
   2. Create a new document page or open an existing document.
   3. Draw a line with any length and stroke weight.
   4. Select the line to edit it.
   5. Try to change the length of the line by dragging one of its ends or adjusting the properties in the control panel.
   6. Observe how the line unexpectedly jumps by half its stroke weight.

   Expected Behavior:
   The length of the line should adjust accordingly to the changes made without any unexpected shifts or jumps.

   Actual Behavior:
   When attempting to adjust the line's length, it consistently jumps by half its stroke weight, resulting in incorrect positioning.

   Additional Information:
   - The bug consistently occurs and affects every line when attempting to change its length.
   - Enabling or disabling the scaling options in the settings does not impact the occurrence of this issue.
   - The bug has been present for some time and hinders precise editing of lines in InDesign CC (Version 18.3).

   System Information:
   - InDesign Version: CC (Version 18.3)
   - Operating System: MacOS 13.4
   - Hardware: Apple M1 Max

   Please address this persistent bug as it significantly hampers the proper editing of lines in InDesign CC (Version 18.3). If further information is required, please let me know.

4. Adjust Layout Moves Locked Guides when "Adjust Locked Content" Option is Disabled

   Locked guides that overlap the page margins move when using Adjust Layout while "Adjust Locked Content" is unchecked.

   Expected behavior: Locked guides shouldn't move when using Adjust Layout unless "Adjust Locked Content" is checked. Unlocked guides should move regardless of the option being checked.

   Steps to reproduce:
   Add ruler guides to a page that overlap the page margins
   Lock guides "View > Grids & Guides > Lock Guides"
   Open "Layout > Margins & Columns"
   Enable "Adjust Layout" and uncheck "Adjust Locked Content"
   Increase or decrease the size of a margin that overlaps the guide

   I haven't found any workaround for this bug and it's a major hinderance when adjusting the layout of many pages simultaneously as I have to manually re-adjust the guides on each page.

5. Why is it so hard to handle type on a path in InDesign?

   Why is it so hard to handle type on a path in InDesign?
   At present is it clumsy, inarticulate and frequently unresponsive. You often can't select the path the type sits on.
   As an example, try putting type on a circle. It is hard to centre and only sits at the top. It's quite common to want type on the bottom of a circle too, especially if you are creating a sort of stamp design.
   In the old days of Freehand, which you own, all you had to do was specify centre, type away, and for text on the bottom just hit carriage return and type the lower text. Job done in moments. How could you not incorporate this ease of use into InDesign? Currently you have to create an entirely new path that sits on top of the old one and spend an age trying to adjust where they type now sits and hope it all fits when you have finally had just about enough of it.
   You have made it so awkward you can almost lose the will to live trying this simple exercise. Seriously, how hard can it be to simplify this?
   Freehand is an obsolete programme which runs rings around you in certain areas. Please look at this.

7. Window resizing doesn't work in 18.1

   Hi, just updated to ID 18.1 and when I go to resize the document window to make it narrower (just grabbing the right side), it resizes the entire thing – height and width, doesn't go back to the way it was properly and ends up on the bottom of the screen, instead of just making the window narrower.

8. Preview 'glitching' when changing fonts in text blocks

   Had this problem in 17.2 but still occurring even now I've upgraded to 17.3.
   Working on a Mac Mini macOS Monterey 12.5.1

   If I make any changes within a text block (weight, style or actual font) the selected text will 'glitch' and does not refresh properly when I'm choosing a font or different weight of the same font, causing issues with visibility and layout. It only corrects itself when I click off the text block, either onto the dashboard or another section of the design. This isn't ideal when I'm making design decisions as it impairs layout and aesthetics.

   This did not occur when I was working in 2021. Only since using 2022.

   Below screengrabs show:
   1. Text block with placeholder text (normal)
   2. A font change (text selection glitching when font has been changed).
   3. A font weight change (text selection glitching when font weight has been selected)

11. If a list has a span, footnotes will appear before the list, not at the bottom of the page.

    I have many list paragraph styles, some of them formatted as spans. When I hit a footnote, it appears above the span, and can only be sent to the bottom of the page when the span is removed. This happened before and after the latest upgrade.

12. Round corner appearance from InDesign 2018 file is changing, when open it on InDesign 2020 version

    We are moving from InDesign 2018 to InDesign 2020 version.
    Expecting that all previous files created in InDesign 2018 version should open correctly in later version without any design or font changes.
    We found an issue on Corner radius for Rectangular box. Changing the corner radius appearance when file opened in InDesign 2020, though showing same Corner radius settings both InDesign versions (see screenshots).
    Need a fix to open the files correctly in InDesign 2020 version also, without manual changing, as hundreds of files created previously with different corner radius.

18. I work with book interiors. Have been reading about the nightmares designers have had adjusting the margins of text boxes

    I am not a cool millennial but I work with book interiors. Have been reading about the nightmares designers have had adjusting the margins of text boxes once there are several hundred pages and changing the master pages doesn't alter the actual position of the text boxes. Can I agree with the comments attached below -- to you Adobe company people -- don't **** off loyal users who were using Adobe before the millenials were born -- PLEASE STOP taking away features!!!!! I have recently updated to ID2021. Am I still going to have this bug -- as I now need to adjust the margins a tad away from the spine having just received the hard proof of a 500 page paperback. Thanks :-)

    Again Adobe, the upset stems from your same and recurrent problem (across your product "upgrades"), you don't get it: stop "taking away" features (especially default ones, like you changing the psd default "constraint proportion"... so bad).
    Add new options to old features if you think it improves, we'll click it ON if/when it's suits our type of work (or way of working), but don't (why???) take away what's there, works and have been working for ever.

    It's amazing the lack of knowledge (or depth of knowledge) you too often demonstrate about how your software are (day in-day out) being used/by whom/and for what kind of projects. Try test driving with people who have been working with them for more than 5 minutes, they might not be cool millennials, but they sure understand Indesign (and PSD, and AI...), and are not confused about "which software" to used for doing "what" well.

    For myself, it's sadly the number one complaint I have with Adobe. I use your software every day and find them truly amazing and I think Indesign is the top in it's field.

19. text wrap

    InDesign 16.1v64
    Text Wrap controls behave different with transformed objects.
    At first I was going to report this as a bug and saw one other post where they were having the same issue but then I realized what is really going on so I'm making a suggestion.
    Look at the Text Wrap for an Image object with the controls unlinked.
    I was seeing the bottom control affecting the right side. And the Right side control affecting another side.
    After some research I realized this was only happening on the images I'd imported and rotated 90 degrees.
    Say there are two images sitting on the page and one was rotated but the other not.
    And we want to adjust the text flow around them by playing with the text wrap controls. The controls work as expected with one but not the other. On that one they reflect the rotated state of the image. If you did not know the image is rotated, or forgot, you tear your hair out trying to figure out what is going on.
    The controls should reflect the orientation on the screen. Up is always Up, Right is Right, Left is Left, Down is Down. No abstracting to rotated states required.
    Please consider making this a Fix.
    Thank you for reading this far . . .

20. Layout adjust badly deforms vector graphics

    Vector images pasted from Illustrator (without any raster effect added) become badly deformed when using Layout Adjust. Parts of the image may become bloated, extended, compressed, text is deformed, rectangles become squares; circles, ovals, parts shift, etc. In short, a total mess
