Indesign 16.0 crashes when copying text with anchored object
ID crashes every time I try to copy text that includes an anchored object. As soon as I hit CMD+C, it crashes. I can copy the anchor object separately, but trying to grab it inline with text does not work. I've tried it with multiple different areas of text/objects. This has happened over the last two days, repeatedly, after multiple re-starts and prefs updates. ID 16.0 on MacBook Pro running Catalina 10.15.7.
EDIT: It seems to be an issue with one specific object. I can't seem to even copy that one by itself without crashing. I'll keep playing around to…1 votePlease submit the crash report to us.

Background Task Seems Stuck
When I create a PDF using InDesign presets, the background task indicator keeps spinning and spinning. When I click on the indicator, I get a dialog box that tells me the name of the file that I exported with the status "Complete. See Alert." However, the alert area is empty. The only way to get it to stop, is to quit InDesign and restart.

[ID-4219711] Defining a stroke beginning with a gap does not work
If you define a stroke you can set the length of the first stroke to zero. But as you can see in the screenshot there is still some stroke visible.
Best solution: Make a "zero stroke" possible, a stroke which starts with a gap.
Second best solution: Change the minimum in the "length"-field to something > 0.

Baseline of text shifts
In the last two versions (Am now at latest v16.0) of InDesign this has been happening to me: my fonts baseline shifts mid word, randomly.
It follows through in exported PDF.

InDesign v15.1 slow to open and poor performance generally
Another decrease in performance between v15.0 (whcih was already very slow compared to v14) and v15.1 on Windows 10 x64 with a very high-spec workstation.
Particularly frustrating is when you click on the icon in the taskbar to launch the app it appears as though nothing has happened and takes 30 seconds or so before the splash screen appears and the app appears to have launched. By which time you usually tried launching it again a few times!

Adding new facing pages moves shape layers on other pages
I am designing facing pages for a 300 page book layout in InDesign V16.0.1. When I add a new set of facing pages above pages that have existing graphic elements on them, the a few of the shape layers on some of the below pages shift approx. 18 points to the left or right for seemingly no reason. It is not all of the shape layers on all the pages, it's just one here and there, and sometimes it's text layers too. None of these elements are grouped with any others, and they are not Master Page elements. It appears…

InDesign crashes and content disappears
InDesign sometimes crashes when saving, packaging, or exporting a file. It then corrupts file, removing content (entire text boxes are now empty). This is destroying files and setting me back hours in my workflow.
- Adobe InDesign 16.0
- Save/export/package
- Should have stable, usable files

InDesign non-functional
On launch, the usual "credits / ideas / new features / splash" page has a problem: See screenshot attached. It is blocking all controls and prevents using InDesign at all. It has no collapse button and isn't even rendering properly.

Styles for buttons and forms
It would be nice to be able to create styles for the buttons and forms so you don't have to manually adjust it when your document has heaps of the same fields.
Even just being able to change the default settings would be useful. I have to waste so much more time having to manually change each field setting.Who decided that Minion Pro, 12pt and scrollable was what people wanted?
Also, why would a checkbox by default be checked, most of the time you want a checkbox not to be checked when creating a form??3 votes -
Text frame options: Individual inset spacing when rounded corners are enabled
Currently the text frame options do not allow different inset spacing on each side if a rounded corner is applied to the text frame.
We are trying to create a template that has a text box with a gradient background and a rounded corner that bleeds off the page. We need to set the inset to push the inset spacing on one side further than the rest to fit within the page margins, but with the rounded corner this is not possible.

Data Merge not populating correctly when placeholder curse overflow
When using Data-Merge with an .txt/.csv and using export as pdf, indesign (still) merge the fields wrong (only use the first data-entry), if the placeholder and not the data curse an frame-overflow.
Detailed description:
You have a textframe with enough space to place the string "888", but not enough space to place "8888".
You have a .csv table with a colum named "number" and values from "1" to "999".
You select the file with data-merge and get a placeholder "<<number>>" and replace the "888" with it. Now you got a frame overflow.
You select preview, and all values (1 -…12 votes -

PDF Exporting blank Docs - Using Catalina 10.15.7 and Indesign 16.0.1
Created file like normal. Everything is set like it should be for the printer, CMYK, no missing links etc. Export as a PDF/x-1a. Creates a blank document. I tried to create a pdf with a separate document with just text, still exports blank. Tried it with just a colored box and same issue.Everything is blank! I also tried Saving the file as a JPEG and it too is blank!
