Import failed when placing .indd file, while user has file open. (on SMB share)
Import failed when placing .indd file, while user has file open. (on SMB share).
User receives the message, "Import failed." when placing a .indd file inside of another InDesign file.If this is a limit of InDesign it would be helpful if the error message was more detailed. If this error prompted the user to close the open file, it would be clear what is causing the issue. I believe that I have been able to place an open InDesign file in the past.

Story that spans several pages not adding to InCopy Assignment.
When I create an InCopy file the bulk of the document does not add to the assignment. When I right click on the story there is no InCopy option in the drop down. If I go to the assignments panel I cannot add the story to the assignment.

Missing item in startup screen should be removed
If I move a document on my hard drive, of course it’s gonna be missing in the recent items of inDesign. (normal)
At that moment, instead of « missing doc -> OK » i should have :
« missing doc -> remove from recent docs / Ok »
* OK would do the exact same thing, closing the message window and leaving the icon/item there.
* remove would remove it from the list so that I don’t see it again and mistakenly click it again.
Why keeping the « OK » item at all ? So that I can keep…3 votes -

Random De-selection
I've found this to be an issue ever since I first started using indesign 3 years ago. Sometimes when shift selecting objects, other random objects that you have already selected will unselect themselves. For example, I am selecting 4 random objects on my spread, I select 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, and object 2 unselects itself when I selected object 4

Weird display bug in bookmark panel
- Latest Indesign on Windows 10 (1709)
- Open document, open bookmark panel
- Show all bookmarks correctly
- Bookmarks are randomly cut in the middle of letters
- Screenshot attached.
Info: the INDD file was made in ID CS6 and now opened in ID CC, then saved. TOC and bookmarks have been recreated after this, but the problem remains. The weird thing is, this suddenly happened today. I've been using CC since 11-30-17 and before today it was OK.

file name variable shows extension when placed in another document
This is specific use that may not apply to most users, but it did work in previous versions. In Indesign 13.0.1, create a file that uses the file name text variable and then place this document into another document. The text variable should show the name of the file minus the file extension, and it shows correctly in the first file. But when you place the ID file into another file, the extension shows. This worked in previous versions of ID and caught me by surprise when it didn't work in the latest version, forcing me to use the additional…

cmd+v not working in scripts
- InDesign 2015, 2017 and 2018 on Mac OS (only on Mac. Works on Windows)
- Run the sample script "ImageCatalog.jsx". When the save dialog opens create a new folder. Name the folder by pasting a text using cmd+v.
- Any copied text would be expected to be pasted to name the folder.
- Nothing happens. But if you right click and choose "Paste" it works fine.

open copy
Adobe InDesign CC v 13.0 - macOS 10.9 - 10.13
I feel like this was a previously fixed bug in an older version, but may well be back with the latest 2018 update.
After upgrading InDesign to v 13.0, we are now not longer able to open a copy of files in use, neither duplicate the file in Finder.
When we try to open a copy we get this error message: “Cannot open file [filename.indd]. The file [filename.indd] is incompatible with Adobe InDesign (Error code: 14).”
When we try to duplicate the file, we get this error message: “The operation…

Mp4s don’t appear in exported swfs in indd 2018
The mp4s did work in indd 2017 and they do still in epub preview. I made identical indd files in 2017 and 2018 and placed several MP4s in both. they all worked in 2017 but in 2018 when activated by a click, button, or controller the poster disappears and the mp4 doesn’t play.
This happened at school some students were working on the classroom 2017 macs and others their own 2018 windows and mac laptops the test I ran was on windows 101 voteHello All,

Every time there's a new update I lose all my saved templates.
If I'm missing something I'd like to know. Otherwise, I'm tired of having to recreate these templates every time there's an update.
