Identical shapes on different layers end up different sizes when scaled together using the selection tool
1) This bug occurred on InDesign cc2017 and CS6. 2) Follow these steps to replicate the bug: create a shape, let's say a circle, and then copy this circle and paste it in a separate layer directly over the top of the first. To better see the effects of the bug, make the fill of the top circle red, and the bottom blue. At this point, the bottom blue circle is completely hidden by the red circle above it. Now put a 4pt stroke with an outside alignment on the bottom blue circle. The blue circle is still hidden, and…

Unable to add Paragraph Styles to Creative Cloud Library, InDesign 2018
Not sure how you can reproduce this as I haven't found anybody else with this problem, but hopefully you can figure out how to help me. I cannot add paragraph styles to the Library, and I have tried every way:"+" button on the panel with text selected, cloud button on the styles panel, dragging from the panel... nothing works. Everything else--including character styles--can be added normally.
2 votesThe issue is due to the Kerning being set as None, if one sets it as Optical or Metrics, it solves the issue. The issue is currently under review.

Duden-Hyphenation changes the language in preferences
After setting Duden hyphenation in Preferences, the next time the menu is opened, it will change to "1996 Alte Rechtschreibung" instead of "2006 Neue Rechtschreibung". (only on WIN-machines?!?)

[ID-4261359] Path ≠ line if you have a round arrow with an arrowhead as part of the path
If you have a "round" arrow with the arrowhead as part of the path, the path (in my screenshot: blue) is no longer the same as the shown line of the arrow (black).

False layer gets duplicated through context menu
If for example layer 1 is selected in the layers panel and layer 2 is right-clicked, the context menu for layer 2 appears. If you choose to duplicate the layer 2, the selected layer 1 gets duplicated. Deleting works as expected.

Workaround: Select the Layer that needs to be duplicated to avoid the issue.

text wrap detect edges
ID 13.1 x64, Win 7, AI 22.1 64 bit
Text wrap w/detect edges may not detect text in AI file, may not detect shapes well. Have AI file with graphic and text placed in anchored frame in ID doc. If set to wrap around shape, detect edges, text in ID doc runs through text in AI graphic. Also (noted in in forums ) text may not wrap around white or nearly white shapes in AI graphic.1 voteThanks for reporting the issue.
Is this an issue only in the latest/recent release? What was the experience in older versions of InDesign?Adobe InDesign team

[ID-4206993] InDesign crashes when exporting to PDF, but not to JPEG
I'm using InDesign 13.1 for a simple 12 page booklet (see attached)
First issue: ID was doing background work on a file for about 4 days and then ID crashed. Now whenever I open the program it asks me if I want to do "Automatic Recovery" for the file. If I click YES or CANCEL the program crashes. If I click NO the program stays open and I can continue to work. But if I go to export the 12 page booklet to PDF it crashes.
I have: (1) uninstalled and reinstalled ID; (2) tried to export the file to…

Open Recent numbering goes from 1 to 9, then 0 and then repeats 1 to 9, 0.
When selecting File > Open Recent, and there are more than 9 items (I have it set to 20), the items are listed numerically from 1 to 9 and then 0. Then it repeats 1-9, 0. One would expect 1-9, 10, 11, 12, 13, etc.
Obviously not a showstopper, but just something to fix.

InDesign 2018 crashing when I go to linked endnote text
I'm working with linked endnotes in InDesign 2018 (version 13.1), but my file originated in InDesign 2015 (I skipped 2017). I have already saved the document as an InDesign 2018 file but seem to be having problems importing a document with linked endnotes.
I'm starting with an old InDesign file because I'm working on volume 2 of a multi-book series and want to maintain all my old styles. I don't know if that's relevant, but I have worked successfully placing linked endnotes from word in previous books already. In this one, the endnote references appear to have links but when…

Bug with search and replace on locked layers
Hi all,
it seems I’ve found an InDesign bug that is creating some problem on a project for a customer.
I have a document with a table nested inside another table, the layer is locked but I’m able to find the text inside the nested table even if the “search on locked layer” is inactive.
I can also apply another paragraph style to the text inside the nested table (with the layer locked) and this is causing some problem because I need to change the styles of the text of unlocked layers with a script.4 votesThe issue is currently under review.
Thanks for reporting.Regards,
