Since I've moved to working remotely entirely, I've noticed how quickly using several Adobe programs burns through my laptop battery. I'm running a brand new 16" Macbook Pro with the latest MacOS Catalina version, and I'm lucky if I get an hour and a half of battery life while running InDesign and Illustrator at the same time. When I review what is using the most battery life, my Mac lists InDesign, Illustrator, and Core Sync as the main culprits.

Now, I understand that these programs at times are fairly graphically intensive, but the battery life I'm getting is absymal, and I'm not even currently working on artwork that is using a lot of complex effects; we're talking basic shape and stroke icons and simple text and shape layouts.

Can you please work on optimizing the programs to prevent excessive battery draining? Core Sync in particular is really confusing; what exactly is it doing? I've even paused file syncing, but that hasn't seemed to do anything.

Since the release of InDesign 2020 there frequently appears a circumstantial bug, that is not reasonable in any way:

When i double click (edit) or just copy any text-box, suddenly the content is moving downwards (about 3pt), so that it disappears in overflow text and has to be realigned. It even happens when I copy and paste those Elements or duplicate the whole page, so one of the most fundamental functions became futile (image "Adobe-Indesign-Bug-duplicate.jpg")!

Additional the maximum height of the box, before the text disappears in overset, isn't depending on the contents height like in older versions, but is expanded on the upper side instead (see image "Adobe-Indesign-Bug-copy-paste.jpg" in attachment)

Sometimes it even changes the whole stlye, color AND size!!!! ("Adobe-Indesign-Bug-copy-paste2.jpg").

I checked everything that may be possible - without results. It sitll appears after saving older documents in 2020 version...

Hence, every template i ever created is useless and time-consuming!
ADOBE PLEASE DO SOMETHING, THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND ANNOYING!

Anybody experiencing similar problems? Thanks for reply.

Update: Bug doesn't appear on another PC with similar settings. But it still appears after uninstalling old version, reinstalling new version and even after deleting all folders and setups in adobe file path.... Still stumped for an answer...

InDesign 2019 14.0.3 copy/paste issue into InDesign 2020 15.0.01 (and vice-versa).

Steps to reproduce:
1. In a 2019 InD doc, copy a text box with text inside it.
2. Open a new document in InD 2020.
3. Paste the text box with text inside it into 2020 InD.
4. The text becomes an image instead of live text. Though, no links show up in the links panel.
5. This can be reproduced if copying from 2020 into 2019. But it does not happen if copying/pasting from a 2020 doc into a 2020 doc, 2019 doc into a 2019 doc.
6. This happens with other elements, such as boxes with strokes and no text.

I'm not aware of this happening before or that this is a preference issue. Seems like a bug.

Files can randomly corrupt when using a shared server? Every respectable business uses a shared server! We can't put confidential info on employee desktops as is recommended by Adobe because they can't support a shared server! At minmum if you can't support a shared server then make back up files which can be accessed if a file is corrupt. And no, your recovery option doesn't work when a back up file is corrupt. I've just missed a deadline, spent a ton of money on lost work and need to recreat all the lost work. Thanks Adobe........for nothing!!! Adapt to your users needs, don't ask your users to adapt to yours!!!

InDesign ver 15.0.1
I have a file that displayed all linked images correctly this morning. 90% of the images are linked from my desktop, which is also where the InDesign file is located. 2 of the linked images are from a network cloud server.

After disconnecting from the server and then reopening the file, all linked files appear to have broken links. However when, checking the Links panel, only the images that were linked from the server are broken. This makes sense except that all linked images populate the document as either a gray box or a solid black box.

After relinking all images, they appear normal on screen again. Prior to relinking them, I did a PDF export and all images appear correct in the PDF.

This has happened on several files recently, with no easy solution to get the images restored.

I expect that the images that are not broken links should display correctly and only broken links should display as blurred or black boxes.

What I'm getting is no broken links, and nearly all images displaying as black.
