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.

When fonts aren't activated in an InDesign document, InDesign CC2019 slows down and is practically unusable unless you activate most or all of the fonts used in the document. This wasn't the case in previous versions of InDesign, when you could deactivate fonts intentionally in order to troubleshoot files. In long form documents that may use multiple fonts, this was an especially useful tool.

As InDesign documents are frequently separated from their fonts, especially when using font managers instead of Document fonts, this slowdown becomes a burden when checking files in larger workflows and inhibits font troubleshooting. Could the behavior in previous versions of InDesign, where the activation of fonts was not a requirement for file responsiveness?

Sometimes when I drag a text box to a different position the screen starts to flicker then goes crazy - like a strobe effect. It's applied to all software that's open and there is no choice but to have a frenzied time trying to shut down applications and saving work before the screen either goes completely blank or white. There is no choice but to restrt the imac.

It happened around 5 times in the space of an hour and then won't happen for weeks.

Before updating to the latest version of ID, I would get an error each time I tried to use the <cs> tag to format a cross-reference. It wouldn't let me save the data.

Now it lets me save the data, but it just strips the tag out.

I have a character setting called Bold.

I defined a cross-reference format as:
<cs style="Bold"><fullPara /></cs> on page <pageNum />

I save it, and I click OK. Then I reopen the format page, and it says the following:
<fullPara /> on page <pageNum />

It's like the tag never existed. No matter what I try, the tag never saves. I can apply a character style to the entire cross-reference, but not half of it. It is all or nothing. I can make text changes to the tag like adding quotes without a problem.
