1. control palette disappears

   When the system comes out of screen saver or sleep mode, the Control palette has disappeared. The only way to make it visible again is to quit and restart the program. InDesign Version 16.1, macOS 10.14.6 Mojave, 2013 MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013). Two monitors: built-in retina display 15.4-inch (2880 x 1800) with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB graphics and 19.5-inch (1920 x 1080) DELL D2015H Display also using NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB graphics. Problem seems to be related to the use of two monitors.

2. Fails to save, needs to be recovered every time document opened.

   Only way to save is make a small change, repair and recover then do not close until finished.

3. IDS 2021 (16.x Windows) Locks up when loading indd file with missing font in paragraph style

   InDesign Server 2021 Windows Edition (16.x)

   We had several indd files that had a Paragraph Style listing a font that was not actually used anywhere in the document (no text in the file was using that font.). In other words, the Style said it used "font a", but there was never ANY text actually using "font a" in the file. "Font A" is a non-system font that was installed on the desktop. If you load the indd file in InDesign Desktop, no errors occur, and Preflight says there are no errors, as expected.
   If you remove the file from the desktop, and then open the indd file in InDesign desktop, you still get no errors and no preflight errors, even though the font is defined in the Paragraph style.
   If you then use COM to control InDesign Server (windows edition), and tell it to load the indd file. InDesign Server will lock up. No errors are shown on the console or event log, IDS just LOCKS UP..
   If you package the indd project and tell it to include document fonts, it will not include the font defined in the Paragraph style unless text using that font is actually in the document.
   I don't think InDesign Server should LOCK UP in this circumstance.

   We had this happen with some 60+ indd files, and it took a lot of trial & error to determine what actually CAUSED the lockup.

   To reproduce:
   1) Use InDesign Desktop to create an InDesign document.
   2) Define a Paragraph style using a font that is NOT installed on the InDesign Server.
   3) Define a text frame using that Paragraph style. Do not actually put ANY text in the frame.
   4) Save the InDesign document.
   5) Use COM to bind to an instance of InDesign server APPLICATION object (called "app" in this example.
   6) Use the APPLICATION instance to open the indd file in OpenCopy mode ((InDesignServer.Document)app.Open(<filename>, InDesignServer.idOpenOptions.idOpenCopy)
   InDesign server will never come back. It locks up.

   If you edit the indd file and change the Paragraph style to be a font that is actually installed on IDS, then the open returns an instance of the DOCUMENT COM object as expected.

4. CC Libraries placing permission error

   Indesign Version 16.1
   Mac OS 10.14

   Indesign doesn´t let me place graphics (testet JPG, PSD, PDF files) trough the CC Libraries panel. I can open/edit them, via double click, in Photoshop/Acrobat/Illustrator though.

   I tested this with older libraries I already had a few versions of Indesign before. I also testet this with a library I just created. Still the same error .

   I attached a Screenshot of the error message.

5. Print doc from the "share for review" page

   To review a document, some people like to print it to have a better look at it.

   Currently there is no option to print from the new "share for review" page, but having it would be very useful for some.
   Otherwise we still need to make and send a separate pdfs for review.

   So, it would be appreciated if you can somehow add it.

   Sincerely
   JP

6. Arrows not working in Effects Dialog Box / Drop Shadow section

   In InDesign 16.0.1 x64 in the Drop Shadow section of the Effects Dialog Box, there are some values where the arrows are not working. They are 1) Distance, 2) X Offset, 3) Y Offset and 4) Size (marked on the attached file).
   These values should change(increase/decrease) either by pressing the arrows on the keyboard or the little arrows to the left of the value. This isn't happening in the latest version of InDesign. I looked at other effects sectios and the arrows seem to work everywhere else.

7. Converting footnotes to endnotes removes inline styling

   InDesign 16.0.1
   macOS 10.14.6

   Currently if using the 'Convert Footnotes and Endnotes' function, any inline styling of the text contained within the footnote is being removed. Eg text which is formatted as italic is being converted into non-italic etc.

   Fortunately this doesn't appear to affect any character styles which have been applied, but it still creates a very high risk of losing formatting.

   Ideally conversion from footnotes/endnotes should not alter the content.

9. Fit Content to Frame on textbox makes huge gap at the bottom

   InDesign 16.1 x64 on Windows 10

   When I select a textbox and select Fit Frame to Content (by shortcut, menu or toolbar button), the textbox is resized correctly on the horizontal plane, but the height of textbox jumps to an incredibly stupid size.

   Double-clicking on the bottom centre textbox frame handle then resizes the height correctly - thus creating an extra step for the functionality that was previously a single shortcut key.

   Video attached.

12. URL link loses its link info

    When importing a Word file whose text includes over 150 URLs, the link info gets dropped for some of those links. This has happened with several competely different projects for me. I am including the Word file, and also a PDF -- exported from the INDD file. The bad links are circled in the PDF (as comments).
    Evidently this site does not allow me to upload the INDD file (even when it is Zipped) -- which seems odd, since you might need it to diagnose the problem.
    THIS IS A BUG REPORT, not an "idea". Prior versions of InDesign did not have this problem.

15. Tracking gets lost with IDML

    Hi guys,
    We use the IDML format to transfer data with our translation office. I realized when I open the translated IDML files again the paragraph styles which include values for tracking in paragraph or character styles lost these values.
    I hope no ther settings in the styles are affected.

    Is there a workaround to fix this or is it already on the bugfix to-do-list?

19. Crash on save, all work lost

    Version 16.0.1 x64
    Working on an existing document. Nothing out the the norm. Just basic single-user InDesign. Upon save, it said the "document needed to be repaired and some unsaved changes might be lost". Well it lost everything and I lost 2 hours of work. I think InDesign is becoming like the old Quark XPress where you had to hit Ctrl-S like a rabid monkey to save your work from loss.
    It might be just like this forum "Post Idea" it says you're not logged in, and then you lose everything you typed.
    The other thing is lately InDesign crashes on startup.
