Smart folder (Mac) not showing items
When trying to place a file with "File/Place", smart folders in the file browser do not load any items to select from. Same also with image relinks.
Strangely the same thing with "File/Save as" works fine.2 votes -

Using Windows 10 Pro, high end computer (Ryzen 1800X, 32Gb RAM, NVMe SSD, 1080Ti)
Create an Excel file with 8000 rows of random data, place into InDesign with as unformatted table.
Use shift-click to create pages and thread the table to each page.
Try to scroll without InDesign freezing for 30 seconds. I can't.

- Using a different computer
- Turning off preflight
- Using fast display performance
- Change the composer away from world ready, trying single line instead of paragraph

"paragraph style options" window size
Paragraph Style Options window opens bigger than my screen (regardless of the size screen I'm working on) and there is no way to resize the window or set the default size of the window? In order to work with Paragraph Styles, I am constantly having to move the window around so I can see all the options there, then move it again to see the preview in my document.
WHY CAN'T WE RESIZE THIS WINDOW? There's no reason it needs to be this large; most of the space is blank.

InDesign CC 2019 No search results when trying to place a file
When I try to place a file in InDesign CC 2019 (or ANY CC 2019 app) and I enter text in the search box to find my file it defaults to "my Mac" instead of the folder I want it to search. Then when I select the folder I want to search it yields no results even though I KNOW there is a file there containing that word in the name. The folder I want it to search is on a remote server. I have tried to reindex the remote server in Spotlight (by adding it to the privacy tab…

Type Tool Flicker
Specs:
InDesign CC2018 (13.1)
Mac Pro Late 2013
Mac OS Mojave (10.14.3)
64 GB RAM
AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB
Any document when first opened will blink the document window (not the entire screen - just the document) when clicking into a frame with the Type tool.
It occurs one time only then the remainder of work on that document is fine.
Open another document, issue reoccurs.
Double-clicking a text frame with the Selection tool will not blink and take you into the text frame without issue.
I've reset ID Prefs, removed all third party plugins and zapped my PRAM…

Updating to Mac OSX Mojave, Indesign now behaving slow and shortcut make new document does not work anymore
Drawing a box, moving it around etc is now a kind of laggy. Moves but slow and kind of stuttering.
The GUI overall, menus etc, behaves a bit slower as well. Not much but not as quick and responsive at it was in Sierra.
Have tried de-activating GPU but that has no difference at all.
I have the latest version, 14.0.2.
Updated to Mojave because the Adobe chat support suggested that would help out some other issues I have had.
One reason was that command + new shortcut stopped working. And now it stopped working again...Same thing happens in…

InDesign opens two files when only one selected.
When I open a file, InDesign will open another file at the same time, one that I didn't select. Not a horrible inconvenience, but why is this happening?

Unusable actual InDesign CC 2019
Actually InDesign is not production ready. Every few seconds the beach ball spins. I found a workaround which is … well ok but not satisfying: As long as I work in the idml-file it works but as soon as I'm opening an indd file the program slows down extremely.
That can't be the solution! Why don't you see that?

Alt key modifier keeps toolbar active after use when zooming in using scroll wheel
Not sure when this started happening, I only know that it's started irritating the heck out of me quite recently. I'm on Win 10 using InDesign 14.0.2
Whenever I alt+scroll using the mouse wheel to zoom in/out, InDesign switches focus to the toolbar so that the next keyboard press will enact the menu.
It becomes an issue when for example zooming into an active text box, if you need to type F, E, L, T, O, A, V, W, or H, after using alt+scroll you end up bringing up the View menu as soon as you hit the V key.
…
2 votesHi,
As per our understanding the issue is as follows:
Launch InDesign.
1. Press alt+scroll using the mouse wheel to zoom in/out.
2. InDesign switches focus to the menu-bar so that the next keyboard press will enact the menu shortcut.
3. Type F, E, L, or T after using alt+scrollResult:
Menu entry is opened from the control strip (example View menu as soon as you hit the V key).Expected:
Key press should select the suitable tool denoted by that keyThis has been the behavior since quite long and does not look like a break in behavior.
Please can you confirm?Thanks

AIGPU sniffer
Hi I keep having two problems with CC. It seems that Every adobe product that I use opens AIGPU sniffer in ICONS of "last used". Kind of annoying to see that on my OS toolbar all the time.
Second problem is a spacebar hand problem - even I have seen some solutions it seems it is always something different that interrupts this feature - this is crucial tool to use.
Both of those bugs I noticed right after I downloaded another update for CC that I always do and I expect to have some bugs on the start - got…

Snapping objects is funky
When moving or scaling objects and aligning (snapping) them to guides or objects, they don't snap to the guides or objects exactly. I regularly
need to zoom in and visually align them correctly.2 votes -
Use of CC Library Items - EPS files Export as grey boxes and are not properly linked and do not package properly
When using CC Libraries logos, those logos being used are EPS files.
Those files will export and be grey boxes as if a broken link.
Try and access said file in the CC library and sometimes work and doesnt.Also these are not collected for output and saved as EPS files when packaging.
We need to make sure the files are pulled from the CC library and included in the Package. THis would help when we send files to outside companies so they can utilize original content that has been created and put into CC Libraries.

locked objects
InDesign CC 2019 14.01, iMac OSx 10.13.6
Serious lag (+10 seconds) and inability to move or edit objects occurs whenever there are locked objects in the layout. I was able to select (after a long delay) but not move or edit a simple text+shape group while I had background and secondary elements locked. Once those were unlocked, the app started to work again as normal.

can't move elements
I could not move an element on a page (happens to be a circle, with a stroke applied to it). I tried creating a new circle with the ellipse tool and copying the attributes with the eye dropper tool; this too I could not move. I tried creating a new circle and applying the attributes manually; again, this too I could not move.
I must say, I am REALLY not impressed with this latest "update" to inDesign. The amount of bizarre behavior by the software is making my work a struggle lately.

some pages are not displayed
when scrolling, some pages are not displayed (always the same). The work plan remains black. You have to double-click twice in the pages panel (where they remain displayed) to see them displayed on the desktop.
