Numpad bug with paragraph styles
Loading an old Indesign file (version 2016 or older) in the new Version Indesign CC2020 causes a new bug.
1.) I use Indesign CC 15.0.1 (2020)
2) Open an old file of Indesign with many defined paragraph styles (from 2016 or older) --> try to edit some texts use text cursor klick in a textbox and type a 1, a 3 or a 4 on the numpad.
3) I expect that the numbers 1, 3 or 4 to be typed.
4) The paragraph style changes to another style without any shortcut set in the file or the paragraph style.

[ Versions 14 and 15 ] Adjust Layout | Liquid Page Rule "Scale" is affecting the result
Hi together,
as it seems feature Adjust Layout is actually affected by Liquid Page Rule.Two identical pages will scale type differently if Liquid Page Rule is set to "Based on Master" on one page and "Scale" on the other page.
This seems to be a bug. Liquid Page Rule should not affect the result of Adjust Layout. Applied my test documents from my German InDesign 2020 15.0.2.310 on Windows 10:
200206-1-Wrong-Text-Size-with-LayoutAdjustment-INDD-2020.zipNOTE: I renamed the zip file to .zip.txt because this site will NOT allow to attach zip files.
Also see into this thread at Adobe InDesign Forum where…

Duplicating pages moves content
It seems duplicating pages in Indesign 2019 or 2020 moves content around the page. This is the first time I have experienced this after opening an old file, saving it as a new file and then trying to duplicate a page. The fix I found for this is to UNTICK 'Adjust layout' in the 'Layout/Margins and Columns' dialogue box and then try duplicating the page again. This time the content should not move. Definitely an adjust layout bug.

reverse layout
Where is the Reverse Layout option in Adobe Indesign 2020? I am trying to create an arabic version of a book and have to mirror the layouts previous versions had this option. I do not seem to find this option anywhere.

Adjust Layout cuts off images
When using adjust layout, no matter what setting are used and even when images all have "auto-fit" checked, the adjust layout function cuts off many images instead of resizing them with the frame.

RotatedTable-BaseLineGrid-NOT-WORKING.PNG
( InDesign 2020 version 15.0.0.155 on Windows 10 ).
The custom baseline grid is not working at all if a table's text frame is rotated.
It is working with text outside a table if the frame is rotated.

column line
You cant make the column lines shorter in the top of a textframe when you have a preamble text in the frame. How ever, you can make the column lines shorter in the bottom of the frame. And you can make them longer in any direction. The function is there for making them shorter in the top but it¨s out of order.

Ungrouping deletes all items
Using Adobe InDesign CC up-to-date on a PC running Windows 10.
- Ungrouped group of text boxes + image boxes.
- All text in boxes disappeared but outlines remained. However in the layers you could see that they were deleted.
Strangely enough, by deleting a different hidden layer, I could ungroup the group and they would not be deleted.
Definitely the weirdest InDesign bug I've seen to date.
Any help would be appreciated!!

adjustLayout Doesn't work when used in an Extendscript
In InDesign 2014 I used Document.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.enableLayoutAdjustment to make text boxes and images adjust to new measurements of a page and it worked pretty well.
In InDesign 2019 I understand it has been replaced with Document.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAdjustLayout and I can trigger it with my script but it doesn't work as before - text boxes and images remains on the original place.
If I use the function manually, without scripting, it works fine, text and images adjusts to the new measurements.

indesign canvas can not be 6500mm in CC
can not create a canvas with 6500mm, it reverts back to 5486.4 mm
As an industry standard software, you would expect that there is no limitations to the canvas size.

proportional scaling and Opt + drag copy feature not working
Some, but not all, shift and option key functionality not working. I've tried both the Webroot SecureAnywhere fix (don't have this on my computer) and the keyboard unicode fix. Neither have helped. it's also inconsistent. it was working fine last night at home but not working this morning in my office.

layer
When you remove a part of a grouped object, the rest of the object moves to another layer, even when that's locked!

Data Merge should support Line Breaks (New lines) in the data field without needing new field
I understand you can create a new field in order to make a new line but each field has a different number of lines that becomes difficult.
I am inserting lyrics for a client and they want each line to have a break in between. Some are short (2 lines) and others may be as long as 20 lines. multiple fields would be a ridiculous solutions. Data merge should support it with a special character like /n or the like. It would make things way easier. Thank you.

the document window extends below the bottom of screen
One file is open and you have the document window filling all available real estate besides the tool windows, when a second file is opened, the document window extends below the bottom of screen and must be resized again to view the info at the base. This issue was not apparent on pre CC Indesign
