Black artifacts appear on rulers
When opening an older ID document and working on it, moving the mouse pointer around leaves black artifacts on the rulers, top and left. It also distorts the 0 point of the ruler in the upper left corner.
A quick zoom and return to 100% size will clear it, but with use, the rulers will accumulate black marks again.
This bug has persisted in many previous versions of ID, and is alive and well in v15 (2020).
I hope you can fix this quickly.

Window positions on Mac triple screen don't hold
On V. 15.0 I use a 27" 4K monitor arranged above two smaller HD monitors when using InDesign and Premiere Pro, for generous screen real estate. PrePro remembers to place the Program monitor on the big screen when a project is loaded. InDesign, even when the workspace is saved explicitly as "Triple," with Panel Locations and menu Customizations options checked, does not respond and loads only into the two lower HD monitors.

Wrong translation of “rule” in Czech version of InDesign 2020
Please stop using Google Translate to translate Adobe UI to Czech language.
The new feature Column Rules is translated into Czech language as Regulations for Columns! (Pravidla pro sloupce) This is totally wrong! It should read “Linky mezi sloupci” (lines in between columns). Also the word “linie” is wrong, it is not used by designers. You should use “linka” as it is already in use in other UI dialogs in InDesign.
1 voteFix for this issue is now available in the latest update of InDesign 2020 – that is, InDesign 15.0.1
In the Creative Cloud Desktop application, click on the Updates section on the left. You should be able to see the Update available for InDesign. Please update your InDesign application to this version to try out the fix.
Let us know in the comments section if you face any problem with the updation process.

font
I just downloaded version 14.0.3, working on Mac Sierra v. 10.14.6. I can no longer click in the font size box and change point size. In previous versions I could create font sizes such as 11.5, 12.5, etc., but now when I click in the font size box, it turns white and does not allow me to enter a number.

sample buttons and forms
The 'Sample buttons and forms' window automatically pops up when I start InDesign. Indesign starts with the workspace 'Start'. I resetted my workspace and the window still was there. Then I removed the window, saved my workspace again and it seems to be solved.
I am not the only one with this problem:

Style names truncated unnecessarily
The UI for the styles palette truncates the names of the styles to an unusable length if a keyboard shortcut is assigned (even when no truncating is needed).
In the attached image, we see that there's a lot of space to the right.
The keyboard shortcuts could also be shortened using the relevant symbols instead of words. eg
"⌥⇧⊞1"
instead of
"Opt+Shift+Num 1"

a hand appears as a hover effect
Hello,
for both of my employees, a hand appears as a hover effect as soon as they move the mouse pointer into the Layers menu or the Pages menu. Then the mouse pointer freezes or slows down considerably.
Both use OSX Mojave together with the latest InDesign CC version.
How can we fix this problem?
Thank you for your forthcoming help

Renaming CC Library Elements
Renaming elements that have been stored in the Creative Cloud Libraries panel is unstable and can use improvements.
• There is no clear cursor to know where you are in the name.
• Double clicking to highlight a word, once in the rename mode, common practice everywhere else, ends up opening the library item, not selecting the word you intended.
• Doing a slow double click on the name, like you can do in the Layers panel to rename a layer doesn't work either.4 votes -
Please change one word in the German Indesign
The German Word "Abstände" is used two times in the paragraph style panel but with two completely different meanings.
First use "Einzüge und Abstände" is in English "Indents and Spacing".
Second use "Abstände" is in English "Justification".
Please change the second one to "Blocksatz" or "Blocksatzeinstellungen" so that the German users will not be confused anymore.
Or contact a German speaking InDesign pro user for a better translation.
Just a small change to make a lot of (German speaking) people happy!

Workspace panels not reappearing when exiting and reentering application
I've noticed lately that my workspace panels are sporadically disappearing when I have a document open and I click out of the document on macOS Mojave and reenter the document shortly after. If I click 'tab', the workspace doesn't reappear. The only way to make it come back is to go to Window/Workspace/Reset [Name for workspace]. Application frame is disabled.
Currently on macOS 10.14.6

File Information won't close
When I open the File Information window to edit the metadata of a file, I can't close the window because the OK and close buttons are off the bottom of the screen.
When I try to resize the window, it will return to the size it is. In order to close it I have to restart InDesign!
Please sort this!

Renaming an object layer by double-clicking is tedious - sometimes non-responsive
When working with layers, select an object, then double click the name to rename, it takes multiple clicks and a delay of several seconds before the name field becomes editable. Why? I don't see any other way to rename the object layer.

Control panels can't be scaled
A couple of days ago I switched from InDesign CS 6 to InDesign CC 2019. I wanted to arrange my working area in the way I had before, but couldn't because the control panels could not be scaled as narrow as before. Because of this I can't fit all needed control panels on my second monitor.
I have contacted support but they could not offer any solution to my problem.
