Indesign CC 2018 (oct): display of frame borders offset by 1 pixel
Indesign CC 14.0.1 x64, german
put a pageitems' left border exactly on X=0, aligning the item to the left side of a right page on facing pages... see screenshot...
Frame border is displayed offset by 1 pixel.
This does not apply to right aligned items on left pages. Here the frame border is displayed fine.
It's minor ... but ugly.

Indesign CC2019 14.0.1 - Some panels collapsed after restart
Indesign 14.0.1 x64, german, Windows8
I have "Character", "Paragraph|Stories|Attributes", "Layers", "Color"-Panels docked to the left side of Indesign on Screen 1. I also have several other panels stacked but freefloating on a second screen. No panel is ever minimized. No panel is ever collapsed in my setup. I always have them expanded and open. This is my standart workspace. After closing Indesign and starting it, sometimes it collapes the left-docked panels. The freefloating panels on screen2 remain ok.
In settings "auto-minimize panels" is OFF.
"Auto show panels" is checked "ON".Please see screenshot attached.
Expected behaviour is - of course…

No keyboard focus on launch
InDesign 14.0.1.209, macOS Mojave 10.14.2
When launched and the following conditions hold, InDesign does not seem to have keyboard focus (i.e.., no keyboard shortcuts work):
- Show ‘Start’ Workspace When No Documents Are Open is unticked.
- The Control bar is open in the default workspace.
- The CC Libraries panel is either not in the default workspace or collapsed.
Note that conditions 2 and 3 are met by several of the standard workspace, for example both Advanced and Typography (but not Book, Essentials or Essentials Classic).
If you choose a menu item or click in an input field, the app gains keyboard…

panels keep moving
The tool panels keep changing position, flying out or closing in a seemingly random manner. Certainly their movement is counter productive to any given use.
I've just updated to ID 2019 and my panel positions are all lost. This is after several month of wrestling with the demented behaviour Adobe has given them.
In the 'old' days, one set up the panels how preferred and pretty much left them alone.
Could Adobe please return to this functional panel behaviour and stop them flying out, moving about, or getting lost on each update?
Having to click things open and close don…

[CC2019] [Bug] Sort by name not automatically applied
After a designer applied "Sort By name" in the paragraph style panel, and adds another style or renames a style, the style list is not automatically sorted again. The panel doesn't keep the list of styles automatically sorted by name.

Import dialog box drag and drop
We used to be able to bring up the import dialog (or open, or save as too) and then drag and drop a file or folder from the Finder to be able to either go to that folder or import that file. Since upgrading to Mojave and InDesign 14.0.1 that functionality no longer works. Sometimes it does but mostly it doesn't.. It now copies whatever you've dragged into the currently open folder in InDesign. This was a real time saver before and is now a pain. It may be an Apple thing but I thought I'd post it here to…

Properties panel does not get loaded on startup if part of a current workspace
I made Properties panel part of my workspace. Saved the new updated workspace under same name (re-written).
Now when I start InDesign, last workspace gets automatically loaded but the Properties panel does not show up. Have to click in Reset workspace, only then it reappears.
Recently I added another panel to be part of my workspace (Bookmarks). This panel always shows up automatically upon launching InDesign, but the Properties panel is still missing along will other panels that are attached to it (layers, pdf comments).

No Hyphenation in CC 2019 (ver. 14)

Wrong font preview for RTL languages
There is a problem with the new fonts preview in version 14.0 of InDesign.
The 'Selected Text' preview is shown backwards (LTR instead of RTL).
This happens in spite of the fact that the text box is marked as a 'Hebrew' one.

InDesign CC2019 PDF comments pallet closing when douments close closes all attached/combined pallets
The PDF Comments pallet automatically closes when you close a document, any document, no matter if it has PDF comments or not, which closes any pallet that is either combined or attached to it, which, if you don't want to keep opening and closing it all the time is annoying as I tend to keep pallets I use regularly or semi-regularly open all the time.

At random the panel starts scrolling whenever the mouse is over the panel.
Moving the mouse off the panel for a few seconds usually stops it and I can continue working

InDesign in Windows ALWAYS forgets app size and position!
This has been a persistent pain for many YEARS. Everyone knows that an app should open to the last position and size. That's what the double-box icon is for in the upper right corner of the window border. Every single application in WIndows honors this "requirement" for Windows conformance.
InDesign forces Windows users to reposition and resize the program every single time it is opened. This becomes a tremendous nuisance, and in any other program would be considered incomplete and unprofessional. PLEASE, for all the users who don't know how to report this bug, and for those of us who…
