Problem: Text frames suddenly become empty
When working on a +400 pages book, and when I'm in the middle of simple text editing (most of the time; any editing that causes an increase or decrease in lines), suddenly one text frame (other than the one I'm working on) become empty, and all text will move to the next text frame. To solve it I have to edit some text; like adding a paragraph then deleting it. And another fix is by resizing the text frame!!
My version is 2020 last update. Book is in Arabic.
Cannot understand why that is randomly happening!1 vote -
Please add free templates that come with a paid subscription to InDesign and Illustrator.
It's ridiculous that I am paying for InDesign and Illustrator, and I don't have access to adobe stock. I need some templates and I shouldn't have to pay additionally for templates for InDesign and Illustrator.

Discrete Zoom vs. Resize Multi-touch Gesture Preferences
Currently the enable/disable Multi-touch Gestures preferences turn on and off all multi-touch gestures, including multitouch resizing of content and interface actions, such as zoom. It would be great to have an option to preserve multi-touch UI gestures, such as zoom separate from enabling resizing of content. For example, it would be useful to be able to zoom in and out with multitouch in any area without having it actually affect content.

Removal modal warnings when opening a document.
Such as missing links, fonts, etc. Perhaps a docked issues panel once the document is open, but modals block the loading, and if you happen to be opening several old documents at the same time... Also the one that needs attention inevitably pops under the one that says the document is loading. Just remove them all and find another way to give the user feedback.

Add a H&J violation property to InDesign Script
It would be nice to be able to read the amount of H&J violation on a given line through the InDesign script.
This would let us work on better ways to trim the text.

Control paragraph rules when same styles
I love being able to control space above/below in Paragraph for consecutive application of the same Paragraph Style.
I would love to similarly apply a rule above only to the first paragraph in a sequence or a rule below only on the last paragraph in a sequence, with an interface on the Paragraph Rules pane of the Paragraph Style definition similar to the "Space between paragraphs using same style" field in the Indents and Spacing pane.
This will greatly simplify and enhance my options in an automated XML workflow with multi-paragraph fields in a newspaper production setting.

CC Library
Allow inline placed text to be linked the way objects are. I.E., multiple formatted text objects from the library in one text frame, but individually linked beginning and end points, similar to a data merge tag.

Improve the time it takes to import to PDF in InDesign 2020
It takes up to 10 (ten) times as long to export to PDF in InDesign 2020 compared to InDesign 2019. These are files linked to graphics, not just text files.

Add a feature to the paragraph shading or the underlining where you can set the angle. For italic Fonts.
Would be a big relief if you could set an angle in the paragraph shading or the underlining. With this it would be possible to underline an italic Font individually and correctly.
Right now im forced to create a transformed rectangle under the italic Font to underline or highlight it with its angle. I cant do it with underlinings or shadowing for italic Fonts..1 vote -
Select objects with similar stroke and/or fill color
Please add feature to select objects with similar stroke and/or fill color.
This has already been in Illustrator for quite awhile (to my knowledge). This would be good feature to have in InDesign also.
Thanks!

InCopy - Split screen view for Story and Layout
In Incopy it's only possible to use one view. Gallery, Story or Layout.
It would be great if we could also combine 2 views into one.With the 27" displays now in general use, we should be able to show one half of the screen in Story mode and one half in Layout mode.
This allows for users who need to change texts to show also the overset text in the story mode when the text in layout mode is not visible (due to the overset text).
Sometimes when editing the texts in Layout mode and then switching to Story…

InDesign Gradient Tool
Please make the gradient tool in InDesign function the same as in Illustrator, it's fiddly, cumbersome and gives you nowhere near as much control. There's no reason for it not to function the way it does.
