Pages palette bug
Hello,
You will find a file in the attachment, please open it. Now open the page palette. Now try moving the pages in the correct order of the numbers by moving the thumbnails. You will not succeed!
I reported this bug over a year ago and it still isn't fixed! (Indesign version 15.5.5)Edit: Unfortunately I cannot attach an Indesign file. Please provide me with an email address so that I can send you the file.

La vérification orthographique ne fonctionne plus. Les mots mal orthographiés ne sont plus surlignés !
La vérification orthographique en français n'opère plus sous InDesign (y compris dans la correction d'anciens documents lors d'une nouvelle intervention) ! Merci de résoudre ce bug

BUG - 15.1.1 - Mac/PC - text threads don't display
On both Mac and PC, the 15.1.1 version doesn't display text frame threads.
When I create a new doc, threaded text frames DO show the threads. But when I open pre-existing documents, threads don't show at all. I've confirmed this behavior with a few other people, on both OS platforms. I'm running on Win10/64, [Version 10.0.18363.836]. The Mac users were on very recent OS's.

Right what it says on the tin: When I try to generate a Table of Contents from a large Book file (about 14 chapters, maybe 180ish pages total) , InDesign abruptly crashes.

Native support for table formulas in InDesign
I have found countless workarounds for scripts that support formulas in InDesign, but how is this not a native tool?

Page numbering logic
I don't get why the logic of page numbering is that complicaded in InDesign.
imagen you would like to show the number of the current and the previous page on the same page.
You can not simply put those varibles form Markers, saying Current Page Number an Next Page Number on the same page. – That would give you twice the Current Page Number.
Current Solution: You have to write them into two conected Text fields, which are supposed to be ob bouth pages, that you want to put a number on.here my idea:

InDesign freezes while Adding New/Editing Cross-References
- InDesign 13.1 x64 2a. Select the text, go to Insert Cross References either via Type > Hyperlinks & Cross References or via the Cross References Panel. 2b. Select text that already has a cross reference, go to Cross-Reference Options either via Type > Hyperlinks and Cross References of the Cross References panel.
- The New Cross-Reference or Edit Cross-Reference dialog box should open and function.
- InDesign freezes and has to be force quit. I've waited as long as 20 minutes for the system to function properly before having to force it to quit.
6 votesHi,
As confirmed by the user, the issue is resolved with the latest InDesign.—

PDF export preferences: document-based, not application-based
So I'm working on 3 Indd documents. On one of them, I need a PDF of page 4 only. The preferences are reset for all 3 documents to output only page 4. Why should I have to remember to reset the output for ALL 3 to All Pages? Shouldn't this be a document-based preference, not an application-based one?

Fonts Not Loading
Font loading is sporadic in InDesign 15.1.1 on macOS Catalina 10.15.5
Fonts that were working just fine yesterday suddenly won't load. I've cleared caches to no avail.
This affects InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop... however, Photoshop seems to be hit or miss... sometimes they load, sometimes they don't.

thumbnail size
I'd like to be able to adjust the size of the graphic thumbnails in the CC Library panel, similarly to the ability to adjusting the thumbnail size in the Gallery view of Lightroom.
I am drawing from about a hundred images to build out a deck. Many photos are shot in similar locations and are subtly nuanced. On my 13" Macbook, I can't really distinguish them. There's plenty of room for a single line of larger images, but currently no ability to change their size. This makes ID largely useless for building out this deck unless I'm on my 27"…

ID2020 Running variable falls back to previous header randomly
Current version 15.1
Did not have this issue with previous version, produced 2 reports within a month one before the update and one after. The first one went out fine, the second one have the following glitch:- All pages have ONE master page footer including ONE variable connected to a header style - simple and standard, never caused an issue since the beginning of the function's history .
What happens in the spread:
Page 1 contains Header 1 and footer refers to H1
Page 2 contains Header 2 and footer refers to H2
Page 3 contains no header and footer…1 vote -

Import specific pdf page with Data merge
It could be interesting to include a specific page from a pdf into a data merge link and not only the page 1.
It could be useful when we have a lot of pages in the pdf and only one image by page.2 votes -

enableRedraw = false ignored during script run
During a loop to load text snippets to my page ID 2020 ignores the fact that enableRedraw=false and DOES redraw the page on every loop
app.scriptPreferences.enableRedraw = false;
do { app.doScript(insertTexts2, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Insert Texts " + C2Place + ":" + V2Place); } while (libs[8][3].geometricBounds[0] < pageTextBottom); app.scriptPreferences.enableRedraw = true;
The text is inserted into 8 different frames -- during the loop it SHOULDN'T redraw the page -- but it does (slowing the script down)

Jumping to wrong tabs
Hi, when I try to click on the File menu, it keeps jumping to Window instead. That goes for any menu item I try to open. I'm using the 2018 version of InDesign on Windows.
Thanks
