Slow InDesign
This latest update for late August/September is really really really slow. It lags crazy. It's not efficient to work in. Even with small documents.
It's the most unpleasant InDesign experience ever!32 votesThank you for reporting the issue to us.

Bug with InDesign 16 Word and Textedit
I noticed a huge performance bug.
When I am working on a book with many pages and switch to an app like Word or Textedit and then back to InDesign, I get a beach ball for 30–60s. Only in InDesign. When I quit Word or Textedit, the beach ball disappears and InDesign runs normal again.
Restart eg. doesn't help!System: Big Sur

control panel disappears
Have upgraded to InD 2020 v 15.0.3 -- whenever i close all documents and then open a new one (i.e. when there is not already a doc open in InD), my control panel disappears and wont re-appear via tab or reset workspace. I have it set to floating. I have to close and restart my InD for the control panel to reappear again. Never had this problem before! Is this just my Mac or is it InD?

Windows 10
In Windows 10, when I close an InDesign file, and open another without closing InDesign completely, my keyboard functionality ceases to work. I have to relaunch InDesign.
This happened on my previous laptop of 7 years, and now does the same with my new one which is 2 weeks old. I thought it was just because my old laptop was getting old, but since it's doing the same on a new computer, I figured it must be a bug.
Using the latest Windows 10 20H2 version, latest InDesign to date of 7 Nov 2020 (v 16.0 x64), Lenovo Legion Y540.

Adobe InDesign 2020 Super Slow
InDesign 2020 is super slow. I cannot have two files open at the same time anymore (a problem for me). The response time between mouse clicks is up to 10-30 sec! I have moved my files to an external drive (off of the network to eliminate VPN as the problem), still no improvement. It has crashed, and when prompted I have sent a report. My program is current 15.0.2.

Not able to work on more than one document in InDesign 2020 on Windows 10
Folks,
Please vote if you have the same issue:I can't work anymore on more than one packaged doc containing 'Document fonts' folder in each package in InDesign 15.1.1.
Moving frames, selecting text in the frames or switching between two (blank) docs causes an unacceptable huge delay what makes efficient work impossible.Performance got worse and worse since 15.02 / 15.03 / 15.1 already. Removed ID completely, as well any plug-ins or font management software. Bug occurs on three independent Win10 machines using 15.1.1.
I'm currently working on ID 15.01 which is the only version I can work in still…2 votes -
Indesign 2020 doesn't convert older InDesign files so they are useable
When I open older InDesign files (pre-2019) in 2020, the program hangs and I get the spinny wheel and have to force quit. It also doesn't load italic version of system font Palatino. The workaround is to open them in 2019, why can't 2020 open older files properly?

Spellcheck
Spellcheck in InDesign 2020 build 15.0.2 doesn't work. It acts like it is working, but it never finds any misspellings. I noticed it yesterday when I sent an article to the proof reader and it came back with errors InDesign should have detected. I purposely put in misspellings, but InDesign found no spelling mistakes.

dragging from cc libraries causes screen to move over
HI, this bug has been around since forever. Please fix it.
When dragging items in from cc libraries the page will move over a little bit. If you drag multiple times eventually you have to re-centre the screen. Its very very annoying.

Either the file does not exist... ERROR
I've noticed a pattern when clicking on one of my recent file icons... I use two different cloud storage platforms, Dropbox and Sync. Both services are accessed from local folders on the same external hard drive. When trying to open one of the recent DROPBOX files from the Recent start page, I get the dreaded 'Either the file does not exist...' error.
BUT, when I follow the same process with one of the SYNC files, it opens with no issues.
ALSO, I can open files from EITHER service using the File > Open Recent method.
So... could the problem somehow…

For long documents containing more than 50K characters, GREP search fails to find all matching instances
Since updating to CC 14.0.2 on Windows, GREP search is no longer functioning properly. Not all instances of queries are found, or not found at all.
I believe this is the case when working on documents created in an older version. In a newly created document it does work as it should.83 votesHello All,

Track changes slow
The track changes feature is very slow. If I click on »accept and search for next« (sorry, I’m running a German locale of InDesign) in a long document (100+ pp.), I’ll have to wait for the next tracked change.
Please speed this up!

When ending Sleep Mode on my MacBook Pro, the Handtool via the spacebar in InDesign does not work nor in any other Adobe Application. No other Application open besides Mail. Restart Applications doesn´t help. Just a whole Restart of the Computer.

Version 15.0.2 - Duplicate folder saving to desktop
After moving a packaged folder from the desktop, if I go back to edit the file it creates a duplicate folder to the desktop with only the contents of Document fonts (which does not include all fonts). Definitely a concern of saving over existing data.
