story editor cursor block cursor disappears
InDesign 15.0.2 on OS X 10.14.6 on a MacBook Pro with an external display.
Go into Preferences and set the story editor cursor to "block," the fattest size.
Put the cursor toward the righthand side of a longer line, and use the arrow keys to navigate the cursor up and down.
The cursor should stay visible at the end of the line, as the default cursor does.
Instead, when the cursor is at the end of the line, it disappears, making editing and navigation by arrow keys difficult.

InDesign typekit fonts and sometimes activation does not work when network connectivity is lost
I work during commute and travel on my laptop and the past few versions have not been able to utilize typekit fonts without internet connection.
Issues often persist even after reconnecting. There are many errors that arise when network switches status.
This makes me unable to adjust layouts since there is no way to know the space taken up by the font. This has also cost me hours in slow tech support from adobe. Hours of lost productivity because of this bug that has been unbelievably overlooked.
If there is anything else I can do to help fix this for…

Live-Linking Word Document
Since updating to 14.0.3 the live linking function for text documents no longer works.
Since updating to 14.0.3 if I place a word document into my Indesign Document and ensure that the link text setting is turned on in file handline it places the word document but is unable to update the file when changes are made in word. It won't even allow for manual updating and you have to re-place the document every time you make an update. This means our project is going to take a lot longer to finish as we have to re-map our paragraph styles…

When opening InDesign 2020 files I get a message that the file is damaged. See screenshot. The same file will open with Adobe 2019.
When opening the file in ID 2019, I get the message that links are missing. Perhaps ID 20 thinks that the file is damaged because the links are missing, so I get the damaged message.

InDesign tries to display interactive help while a script is running
I've done a fresh install of InDesign and I run a (lengthy) script. InDesign is trying to display some interactive help (and failing to do so) while the script is running.
Interactive help must be suppressed during script execution!
The empty help frame stays visible while the script is running.
This is on Windows 10x64 with InDesign 2020 15.0.1

indesign cursor lag
My cursor is lagging while passing over portions of the Layers Panel specifically.
I'm working on a Macbook Pro, with a BenQ GW2765 external monitor.
The issue only happens while InDesign is on the external monitor, and it works fine while on the macbook pro.
I've attached a video sample of the issue in action.4 votesWe have identified that this occurs when you connect your Macbook Pro with an external monitor using the older, obsolete Apple adapter.
On using the newer, updated model of the Apple adapter, this issue does not occur. Many of our users have confirmed this.
Please share what hardware you’re using to connect the external monitor to your MBP.

stall
InDesign stalls most of the time for more than a minute after nearly every clic on any part of the screen : menus, boxes, objects, pannels... Even on buttons when saving or exporting.
I have two macs with the most recent version of InDesign and Mojave 10.14.6.
I complained about this a few months ago. We has to wait several weeks to get an improvement, but now it is starting again.
Please do somethiing quickly, we lose a great amount of time and money.1 vote -

Pages do not display correctly when viewing ("High Quality Display" with "Overprint Preview" turned OFF). Bands of blank screen occur randomly on the screen.
However objects display correctly when "Overprint Preview" is turned ON.This occurs in both InDesign 14.02 and continues to 15.0.1
See attached files including MAC info.

Severe performance issues
Using Version 14.0.3 on a MacBook Pro. Every time I try to switch from one object to another the program gives me a spinning wheel of death for about a minute (sometimes more...sometimes I have to force quit/restart). I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app completely. This happens regardless of the document that I have open, even just a text document with no images, etc. There is no crash, the program just freezes entirely.

Hot Keying the Text Tool has been broken for 2020 versions
The hot key for the Text tool is broken. I've tried the steps of resetting preferences the issue still persists - ever since the 2020 updates, hot keying to the text tool is broken. The tool is selected for a mini second before going back to the selection tool or other previous tool - there are plenty of mentions on this site with very little feedback on if the issue is going to be fixed - please give the community an update.

InDesign 14 opening network files as read-only
We have been using InDesign for a while with files being stored on a network SMB share. on 4/4/19, after a few folks updated to 14.02, the Indesign and Incopy files are primarily only able to be opened as read-only.
Network server permissions have been verified and no other changes have occurred in our environment.
8 votesPlease help us with answers to the below queries:
1. OS version of the machine where issue is reproducible.
2.Are the files opened simultaneously by more than one user?
3. Does the same file which is opened as Read Only in Id 14.0.2, when opened in Id 14.0.1 opens fine?
4. Does remounting the SMB drive fixes the issue? -
Font variant not working since Catalina upgrade
I have an issue/bug that is causing significant workflow issues and stress, and I have brought this up with support, as well as with the font foundry, for months without resolution.
A font variant that I have used regularly (as part of a corporate identity) has disappeared from the font drop down list after I upgraded to macOS Catalina. This issue is happening in all the latest versions of Adobe products (Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.) Only ONE variant is missing -- 'Folio Bk BT - Book'. 'Folio Bk BT - Bold', as well as another similar font 'Folio Lt BT…

Removable Device Warning
I have been working with InDesign for many years and have learned to store my files on a removable device. This is because I have found them to be more stable than my computer and if the computer goes down, the data is fine. Now, I find myself getting a constant message telling me that I should not do this (which is Adobe's opinion and they are entitled to it) with a check box for me to select if I don't want to receive these messages again. Why, when I check this box, do I keep getting these messages? Sadly…

cmd-J does not make the correct page active
In a document with facing pages and a wider-than-usual artboard (10in):
When using cmd-J to navigate to the left page of a spread, the page number indicator at lower left displays the right-hand page number, and the right-hand page is what's active.
This does not happen at all magnifications.

Workspace and documents will not open
My (mac) laptop battery died before I could plug it in. I restarted the computer, opened InDesign, and it appears to start up fine, however no workspace will show up and no documents will open. I cannot work. I restarted, then I opened while holding keys to delete preferences and restarted again and nothing.
