Update unavailable
InDesign 15.1.2 was released several days ago but it does not show up in Creative Cloud 5.2.1.441, and I have no way to update ID. As of today, there is also an update 15.1.2 for InCopy, and that doesn't show up either. Running macOS 10.13.6.

indesign for mac pauses
InDesign CC 15.1.2 with a VPN connection to a server continually gives me the spinning beach ball whenever I do the simplest thing, even when the document itself is on the desktop (but has to be connected to images on the server). It's on a Macbook Pro 15,1, running Catalina with 32GB ram, 2.6Ghz 6-Core Intel Core i7. It's been happening since the last 2 updates.

type in circle
Hi, did the feature to put text in a shape in InDesign 2020 go away or is this a bug? I used to be able to draw a circle, select the type tool and click on the circle and add type to the shape. This method doesn't work in either the 2020 or 2019 versions of ID, but it does work as usual in Illustrator 2020. Thanks so much for your help.

Adobe InDesign 2020 - All text in my Indesign file that contains hyperlinks disappear
(cont.) even though the hyperlinks panel show the links themselves the text is gone and I can't get it back. Hours of work is gone.
I first started seeing the text is pushed together in the epubs I would export, especially moreso on the words with hyperlinks. After fixing a few things I export another epub and it is completely gone and it is also gone in the indd and idml files.

Disable object stroke effects is not working
I'm trying to disable strokes inner and outerglows in a specific object style using the code:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var myObject = doc.objectStyles.item("box");
myObject.strokeEffectsEnablingSettings.enableInnerGlow = false;
myObject.strokeEffectsEnablingSettings.enableOuterGlow = false;But all I got is the behavior in the attached image. Is not really disabling and the effects is still active in the object.
Posted the issue in a forum and we all realize that's a bug.

Indesign 15.1.1 crashing when placing an AI file
Indesign 15.1.1 crashes every time when trying to place an AI file of a map that was originally exported from ArcGIS. Maps are complex, but I have never had a problem placing them before this update.

Burmese font rendering error
InDesign CC 15
WorldScript doesn't compose Burmese Unicode characters correctly, shifting the location of some characters and not positioning some accents correctly, do you have a plan to fix this as it has been like it for a long time? Other languages like Lao and Khmer have been fixed over time, but not Burmese.12 votesThe issue has been fixed in the latest release of InDesign – InDesign 2021.

Accessibility-Tag Z order issue while using custom bullets
When we use custom bullets for bullet list, the reading order tag is not properly exported to PDF. We are getting an unwanted space between the custom bullet and the text and that too reading order got reversed. We are not getting such issue while using InDesign default bullet list. Please refer the attached screenshot with reading order enabled.

CMD+O (Open File Dialog) Doesn't work after new 15.0 and 15.0.2 releases.
CMD+O no longer opens the "Open File Dialog" upon first entering InDesign after launch. Once you open a file thru the Menu, CMD+O starts working properly.
This was an issue in a previous version release, and now it has turned up again in this latest release.

Spellcheck
Spellcheck in InDesign 2020 build 15.0.2 doesn't work. It acts like it is working, but it never finds any misspellings. I noticed it yesterday when I sent an article to the proof reader and it came back with errors InDesign should have detected. I purposely put in misspellings, but InDesign found no spelling mistakes.

Indesign Saving Files
In Indesign, the Interactive PDF save option needs to specify the file size before saving, how many MB will be. Just like when we save a JPEG file in Photoshop, it will tell you how many MB of the file will be before saving.
I would appreciate it if you take this suggestion into consideration.
Thanks.

dragging from cc libraries causes screen to move over
HI, this bug has been around since forever. Please fix it.
When dragging items in from cc libraries the page will move over a little bit. If you drag multiple times eventually you have to re-centre the screen. Its very very annoying.

InDesign and Acrobat accessibility conflict
Adobe InDesign version: 2019 CC
We are currently trying to establish the best workflow in creating fully accessible PDF's for screen readers and I believe we have come across a bug in the communication between InDesign and Acrobat.
Quick summary:
H1 elements on multiple lines read as separate elements unless assigned manually in Acrobat
The Structure and Article order does not transfer to the PDFTo explain the issue clearly I have numbered the images in the process order.

rectangle frame tool
The large X in the frame has disappeared when using the rectangular frame tool. Is this a preference issue or a change to the basic functionality of InDesign? I would really like to be able to use it again. It made my work a lot easier.

graphic frame corners not rounding in publish online document
operating system: Catalina (latest update 10.15.5)
Have generated online published file in both 2019 and 2020 IndesignTo obtain evenly rounded corners on tables in my document I copied the table into a graphic frame and then rounded the corners of the frame. This renders fine when I create a pdf but for some reason when I generate an online publication from indesign one side of the graphic frame edges aren't rounded anymore. The rounding issue only happens with these graphic frames, objects with rounded edges render just fine.

Resize Pages Tool does not work
The resize pages tool does not work. The page size always jumps back to its initial size. You always have to enter the size manually. Also the resizing from an anchor point of the page does not work properly. Especially elements outside the artboard (for example in the info section) don't place accordingly.
