1. InDesign 2020 won't overwrite PDF

   Since updating to Indesign 2020 I can't overwrite pdf files from the export menu it says 'file is still open' when it's not. Yet another thing broken on the yearly beta test.

3. Align to grid

   When you have a text box with multiple columns and paragraphs are set to align to grid + Align first line of text only, if text from one paragraph flows to the next column, that 'first' line of text will NOT align to the grid as it is not the first line in the paragraph. I can't think of any situation where this is an optimal outcome.

5. Endnotes content shuffled by ICML import

   InDesign/InCopy versions 14, 15, & 16

   The position of user-entered "extra" content in an endnote story is currently lost when endnotes are replaced during an update of the associated story.

   Adobe's help documentation says (from the "Work with endnote text" section of https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/endnotes.html )

   "Endnotes in the endnote frame are indicated with Endnote Markers. Text, such as heading, can be typed in the endnote frame outside these markers. This extra content does not belong to any endnote."

   This suggests that user content in an endnotes story is allowed and supported.

   However, extra content moves around during an update. An attached screenshot (1_shuffled.png) shows a "before" (left side) with user-entered chapter headers in the endnotes separating each story's endnotes and an "after" (right side) which shows the same endnotes after editing Story 2 in InCopy and then updating its link. The update's ICML import has moved all of Story 2's endnotes ahead of the "Chapter 2" header.

   Another screenshot (2_between.png) shows how user content that was between endnote entries is repositioned in front of the endnote entries after an update. It looks as though the ICML import removed all of story A's old endnotes and then added in the new endnotes en masse, and lost the old positions in the process.

   A third screenshot (3_between2.png) shows that the same reshuffling happens to user content that's in its own paragraphs and completely between endnotes.

   And lastly, an attached screenshot (4_mangled.png) shows how updating a story (Story B) that was edited with InCopy can completely mangle the existing endnotes structure. The ICML import has moved Story B's endnotes to be right after Story A's, has put the Story B header after the new endnote entries, and has orphaned user content that was previously between the endnotes.

   An ICML import should retain the position of each endnote entry rather than removing all the old entries and then adding all of the imported entries at an arbitrary position.

   CLOSED  ·  AdminSanyam Talwar (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

   We completed the investigation and came up with the following: Either the issue has been resolved in the most recent release of InDesign (Refer to InDesign Release notes), the issue was intermittent at the time of reporting and is no longer reproducible, or the InDesign version mentioned in the report is no longer covered by Creative Cloud Support Policy.

   We would recommend you upgrade to the latest version as it is more robust. Refer to Share InDesign documents for review to easily share your InDesign documents with collaborators for feedback and review. If you are still facing this issue even after updating it Contact Adobe support.

9. footnotes show up at the bottom of text box rather than bottom of page when "span footnotes" is selected

   How do I get footnote #1 in my screenshot to show up with footnotes #2 and #3 at the bottom of the page. For the life of me, I cannot find a setting that makes this possible. Thank you in advance.

10. Span columns not working properly (16.4)

    InDesign 16.4 on Windows.

    I have an issue with spanned text.
    It looks like a "break column" special character is created above and below the text when I span it across a 2 column frame. Or a text column is "skipped."
    This is happening on flowing text, on primary text frames. The text was initially imported from a Word document (without styling).

    This "bug" doesn't happens on on other text frames where the text was not imported.

    I am trying to upload the INDD packaged rar file but the platform is saying that that type of file is not supported... Kindly text the screenshot.
    You will see some empty columns above and below the spanned text that should be filled with text.

12. Using Text Wrap around objects causes InDesign to crash!

    When I apply a text wrap but only around an object, the program crashes and closes. The other text wrapping tools work fine.

    I noticed a blue cercle on the icon of text wrap around an object (see the screenshot joined). I'm not sure this is normal... maybe it would help you solve the problem...

    When I click on this tool, a windows opens (see second screenshot) and then Indesign crashes and closes.

    You can note that I am using the latest version of Indesign (16.4).

    Thank you very much for your help.

14. CC dropping non-adobe fonts overnight and having to un-install and re-install everyday

    Since the last update (3/9/21) CC drops non-adobe (Avenir) fonts from Indesign overnight. Every morning I'm having to un-install and re-install the fonts as even though they are installed Indesign can't see them. Why is this? It's most annoying as it's our corporate font and having to do this every day wastes time.

16. Share for Review 'highlight' and 'strike through' issues

    The share for review 'highlight' function and 'strike through' function are not visible in the host's files or the online preview. When one of our designers creates a document and then shares it with the team for review we receive a notification that text has been highlighted. When you navigate to the online preview or to the original indesign working file the notification lives in the share for review box but no text is highlighted so you don't know where the intended edit is. The same happens with the strike through function. Pinned items or using the marker tool are visible. I understand from other forum posts that this is an ongoing issue. Our team was very excited about using the Share for Review function to help us as we work remotely and speed up our editing time. However, it is challenging to convince everyone to continue to use the function when we have to double back to editors to ask them to provide their edits again because their first marks aren't visible.

17. Index not listed correctly after converting IDML file to INDD

    When I convert INDD files to IDML, and then I convert those again in INDD the index file disassembles completely the layers.

    It seems to happen from the third level like in this example:

    Chapter 5

    5.9
    1.1.1
    1.1.1
    1.1.2
    1.1.2.1
    1.1.2.2

    How can I avoid that, and let the Index keep the right list from the first conversion?

19. Suddenly unable to import RTF files?

    Suddenly unable to import RTF files to INDD pages, possibly after most recent software update through ACC. Have been doing it the same way for years, and now it refuses to let me autoflow or even place the first column of what will be a multi-page layout.

20. BUG (since CS6!): Nonbreaking Space (^S) Issue with World-Ready-Composer

    Issue:
    When using the ›World-Ready Composer‹, the character ›Nonbreaking Space‹ (^S) behaves exactly like the character ›Nonbreaking Space (Fixed Width)‹ (^s); i.e.: in justified paragraphs, its width does not adjust (like regular spaces do), but it is fixed and unchanging.
    This only occurs with the ›Adobe World-Ready Composer‹ (both ›Paragraph‹ and ›Single-line‹) and not with the regular ›Adobe Composer‹ (neither ›Paragraph‹ nor ›Single-line‹).
    It is not related to the font used, it has been tested with many different fonts.

    1. Versions with this bug, tested and confirmed by myself or colleagues:
       InDesign (Standard Version) CS6, CC2015.0
       InDesign (Middle Eastern Version) CC2020 (15.1.2), CC2021 (16.0)
       I suppose it occurs in all versions since CS6 (when the ›World-Ready Composer‹ was first introduced, afaik)!

    2. Steps to reproduce this issue
       Enter a few lines of text and insert the character ›Nonbreaking Space‹ somewhere. Choose any of the ›Justify‹ paragraph styles and select the ›World-Ready Composer‹. Switch to the regular ›Adobe Composer‹ with the same setup and compare the result.

    3. Expected Result:
       The ›Nonbreaking Space‹ should adjust its width just like any other of the regular spaces.

    4. Actual Result:
       The ›Nonbreaking Space‹ does not adjust its width.

    5. Example as Screenshot attached.
       (Menu is in German: ›Globaler Adobe-Absatzsetzer‹ = ›Adobe World-Ready Composer‹; ›Adobe-Absatzsetzer‹ = ›Adobe Composer‹)

    As far as I know, this issue has been reported only once before (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/39403822-non-breaking-space-is-smaller-than-regular-space-w). But in this report, it is stated incorrectly that the Nonbreaking Space would be smaller than a regular space. It can, in fact, be larger as well (e.g. in a tight line with regular spaces smaller than their 100% optimum). The real nature of the issue is that it does not vary its size.

    PLEASE FIX ASAP!
    Thanks
