A5 paper size wrong
The paper size for A5 in the presets is technically wrong as it should be 148.5mm wide and not 148mm. You can't change the built-in presets but it would be really helpful to do so as our onward print workflow relies on 148.5mm wide files and it's really annoying to have to change it after it's all been designed if you forget to change the page size at the beginning.
1 voteA5 is exactly 148×210 mm and the customer has confirmed that there is nothing to fix.

Master page bug
When I try to adjust a master page in Indesign cc2019 (14.0.1) it makes a real mess. It used to be that if I had, for instance, a master page with a 6p margin on all sides and including threaded text boxes across the spread, if I changed the outer margin to 7p instead, the text box would automatically fit the new space. Now, the text box box turned into a very tiny box in the inner margin that has no relation to the margins I have set. In addition, other boxes on the page which are not part of…

new document dialogue wont accept size
INdesign 14.0.1
File > New Document
In the new document dialogue box:I want to create a custom document 190mm wide and 25 mm high.
I enter the 190mm in Width box
I enter 25mm in Height Box
I move out of the Height box and figure I have entered changes to 211.667 mm.this happens no matter if I use the print or web dialogue window.
This makes it impossible for me to start a new document in the size I want
... so that's not a total pain in the **** is it?
1 votePage size cannot be less than the combination of margins.
Expand the Margins in the “New document” dialog and change the Margins for the defined page accordingly.

Turning facing pages back on makes first Master page a spread
This is a new issue that did not exist before: 1. I have a facing-page document with single Master pages (one for the left and one for the right). see "step-1.jpg"
2. I turn off facing pages. see "step-2.jpg" 3. I turn on facing pages again and it automatically turns the first Master page into a spread (which in-turn alters the layout of the entire document). see "step-3.jpg" How do I fix this so that re-checking facing pages keeps that Master pages as singles?1 voteHello All,

existing file size won't change > InDesign CC 2019
Today I noticed that if I use an existing file > save as new file name > then change document set up (size) the document says it's the correct size but it is not!
After creating a PDF, I checked the file data and the size was not correct! Did this 7-8 times to make sure it wasn't a user error. Being that I do 100's of print ads a month, this is a HUGE issue.

blocks are moved to another layer
When grouped blocks are moved to another layer and then ungrouped, they return to their original layer
1 voteThis is a Feature of InDesign and not a bug.
If you want to stop this from happening, go to the Layers panel flyout menu and uncheck the option called “Ungroup Remembers Layers”. When this option is unchecked, the ungrouped items remain on the same layer as they were (when grouped) and will not return to their original layer.
Hope this helps.

False layer gets duplicated through context menu
If for example layer 1 is selected in the layers panel and layer 2 is right-clicked, the context menu for layer 2 appears. If you choose to duplicate the layer 2, the selected layer 1 gets duplicated. Deleting works as expected.
1 voteWe have been able to reproduce the issue and it is currently under investigation.
Workaround: Select the Layer that needs to be duplicated to avoid the issue.

13.1
Sometimes when I open a document that I've worked on, some frames (text or/and pictures) have moved 5 mm horizontally. Its random, not all pages but some.

ID 13.1 – no longer accepts mp4 media format?
InDesign 13.1
EXISTING mp4s placed in ID file (for viewing in exported Interactive PDF) no longer work (link not found (yellow triangle), and then when manually re-linked, link shows error in palette (red circle question mark).
Trying to place NEW mp4s, and although file(s) can be found, nothing is placed. Have googled and found nothing.
Updates to CC appear to have happened overnight, and I didn't have any issues last week.

Object does not stay in center of document after resizing document format
Hello, I found some weird issues in Indesign CC 13.1 on Mac OS El Capitan.
When I place an object centerd in the middle of a document (for example
500 x 500 px) and I resize the document size to for example 700 x 700 px (something larger than 500 x 500), the Object won't stay in the middle, but moves to the right or left border - even I set the reference point within the transform-window to "middle" and also disable "double page".Why does the object not stay centered at the document format?

Duplicate Page Sizes
If I go to add a new page, for some reason all my page sizes are duplicated.
The secondary one don't do anything and can't be clicked on, the first one works correctly as it should.

Done all the usual restarts, check for updates etc.
Any ideas?

To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received an email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.
We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding: Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.
We recommend you upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2023(v18.5.0.057) as it is more robust and contains a lot of bug fixes.
We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

Incorrect Page Count Value
It appears that InDesign CS6 or any of the later CC versions is incorrectly writing the page count metadata, such as CC2018.
This can be demonstrated using Adobe Bridge or ExifTool with the -XMP-xmp:PageImagePageNumber command.
Files consisting of 1 to 2 pages are correctly reported. In all cases, only 2 pages are being shown, whether the file has 3, 4, 128 pages etc.
Screenshots from Bridge CC2018 uploaded/attached.
1 voteHi Stephen,
There is a preference in InDesign to save preview images with document, by default ‘First 2 Pages’ is selected in that preference. You can change the setting as per your requirement. It is under ‘InDesign CC/ Edit→Preferences→File Handling’.
Thanks
