preferences update
Preferences, templates, custom sizes, actions should be carried forward as standard. Having to reset everything every update is excruciating and a large waste of unnecessary time.

File rename
InDesign 13.0 running Mac OX 10.12.6
If and INDD file is renamed in the Finder when it's open in InDesign, saving the file will cause an error dialog to appear saying "Changes cannot be save as InDesign can no longer access the '[filepath:newfilename]' file. Place the file in the original location and try again." This error message appears whether trying to do a simple save or even Save As.
This error appears even though both the window header and the file name in the error message both reflect the changed (not the original) file name.
Unless file is restored to…

Document Fonts Package Between WINDOWS & MAC Not Recognized
Hello.
There is a problem when doings packages between Windows & Mac OS : since years when you do a package on an OS through another the fonts saved in the folder "Document Fonts" is not recognized by the OS...
So we can't open & modify the document when we received a package from Windows when we are on MAC OS or vice-versa.
So we need the client to supply the fonts one by one which is quite annoying.

Dialog Box Disappears
From time to time the Move dialogue box will not show up when called using the hotkey Shift-Command-M. InDesign then thinks a dialogue box is open and will not perform other tasks. You cannot exit the phantom dialogue box with escape. You cannot save your document. You cannot quit InDesign without manually force quitting.
I am on Mac High-Sierra OS 10.13.1 (17B1003) and the latest Creative Cloud version of InDesign. I have had this happen on multiple computers and on multiple versions of InDesign.
I do not have multiple monitors - however, I do use the Spaces function on the…

Outside aligned strokes are buggy
After outlining text, putting an outside or inside stroke on it produces odd results. It seems it aligns to the absolute outside of the object, rather than the edges like it does in other Adobe programs. I've attached an example of what adding an outside stroke to an outlined 'e' looks like in both Indesign and Ilustrator looks like. This seems to effect any object that has a section cut out.

Extension Manager can't be found in Mac version of Indesign 2018
I'd noticed that OpenAsset was always opening without me installing it. I close the window, it pops back up. I don't want to use that extension, but can no longer find the extension manager to turn it off. I tried using the extension dropdown to uncheck OpenAsset, but it just reopens a few minutes later.

XML output from CC2018 lacks Optimized image path
When exporting XML from InDesign you can choose to export optimized images. In CC2017 and earlier the image element would include a href_opt attribute with the path to the exported optimized image.
In CC2018, this attribute is not included.
The href_FMT and href attributes do carry through.

InDesign steals focus in Windows 10
Whenever InDesign launches or performs a task such as PDF export, if the user switches to another application, InDesign will steal the focus back.
This annoyance has been around for quite some time as outlined in this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2001514

Anchored frame looses the XML tag information as soon as anchor is released/anchor point is moved forward.
Steps to reproduce
Create an anchored text/graphic frame with some inline text/image. Tag the frame with some XML Tag (say 'tag1').
Now release the anchor.
Expected output
- On releasing the anchor, there should be no changes in the XML tag on frame.Actual output
- On releasing the anchor, the frame gets untagged.Additional note: Similar thing happens when anchor is moved forward to another position in inline text. In this case also, frames gets untagged

XML structure
I'm working with a client that needs to use InDesign and InCopy to create documents that are marked up with XML. After relinking stories or updating graphics in InCopy, it destroys any special structure set up with the XML. For example, I have a handful of charts that are nested under a parent tag which is then nested another parent tag. Inserted a chart into this frame in InCopy--saved and closed. Opening this file in InDesign, all nested XML is blown open.

English (UK) dictionary apparently not working
Why, when I have set things to PROPER English rather than American English, is the spellchecker still working in Mericanese?
The attached will show British spellings being highlighted as wrong, yet PROPER English selected in preferences.
Thank you!
3 votesYou can select the text frame and change the language in the Control panel
or you can select a specific portion of text, say a word, in a frame and change the language for that in the Control panel.If you want to change the application’s default language, in a no document state, edit the [Basic Paragraph] style in the Paragraph Styles panel (in Advanced Character Formats) category.
