InDesign 14.0.3 document Missing/Invisible text and photos
I am using Indesign v. 14.0.3 on a mac with High Sierra 10.13.6.
I save my projects regularly the whole time I'm working, so it's not a saving issue. Everything was there when I saved and closed the project before this.
I've been working on a project layout for over two weeks now. Last night I was putting the final version together when it started slowing down, taking a long time to move an item, etc. I saved my project and closed Indesign. I reopened after a while hoping the glitch had time to resolve itself.
When I open the…

Save as... drop-/pulldown menu not working
Dropdown menu for saving as IDML file is not working. I have this problem for some (2-3?) years now. I have waited in hope it would be solved in a coming update, but after all those years it is still not solved. Therefore this bug entry.
I tried resetting the preferences (Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift) but this does not change anything and the problem remains.

Corrupt overlay palette window -- stretched and can't be closed
The overlay palette window is ever-present when I open InDesign. Every time I close it from the 'window's dropdown (as it is to wide to find the X close window icon, it just keeps reopening? It is too wide to fit on the screen, and the text in the panel is pixelated. I have tried docking it to other windows to contain it, but it corrupts those too. Anyone else had this problem?

Illogical interface to control the strokes of a table's cells
Hi there,
I find the interface to adjust the strokes of a table's cell utterly confusing and frustrating to use. For instance, I want to adjust the top horizontal border between two rows. If I click on the top bar in your interface (see diagram), select a weight and colour, InDesign changes the stroke of the cell's vertical bars?!
If I select the bottom bar in the diagram, it still changes the vertical bars.
If I attempt to guess the reasoning of how the interface works, I then chose to select the vertical bars in the interface, InDesign still changes…

svg mask
InDesign does not keep masks that are embedded in the SVG. It ungroups them, causing hidden parts of the SVG to display.

Bug with 'based on' paragraph styles: selected style doesn't appear to be 'selected' after mouse over
I have some Indesign documents (CC 2019 and CC 2020, version doesn't matter) where I have a lot (+ 300) of paragraph styles. Most par styles are based on other styles. I can see the name of the style another par style is based on in the dialogue window 'paragraph styles options'.
All my styles are placed in style groups, according to levels.
Within these groups, there are a lot of styles that have the same names as styles in another group. So for instance, I have some 30 styles that are called 'p'. Renaming is in my case no…1 vote -
New frame created when pasting text in InDesign
Pasting single or multiple words into a table creates a brand new frame which floats on top of the existing one. This bug affects text copied from another section of the InDesign document as well as many text elements (single words or sentences) copied from MSWord.

InDesign typekit fonts and sometimes activation does not work when network connectivity is lost
I work during commute and travel on my laptop and the past few versions have not been able to utilize typekit fonts without internet connection.
Issues often persist even after reconnecting. There are many errors that arise when network switches status.
This makes me unable to adjust layouts since there is no way to know the space taken up by the font. This has also cost me hours in slow tech support from adobe. Hours of lost productivity because of this bug that has been unbelievably overlooked.
If there is anything else I can do to help fix this for…

Live-Linking Word Document
Since updating to 14.0.3 the live linking function for text documents no longer works.
Since updating to 14.0.3 if I place a word document into my Indesign Document and ensure that the link text setting is turned on in file handline it places the word document but is unable to update the file when changes are made in word. It won't even allow for manual updating and you have to re-place the document every time you make an update. This means our project is going to take a lot longer to finish as we have to re-map our paragraph styles…

Outline font in circle
When a combination of superscript and normal sized font is used in a circle then fonts are outlined, the text jumps up to the positioning of the superscript within the circle instead of staying centred. This issue has not occurred before in previous versions of InDesign.

indesign cursor lag
My cursor is lagging while passing over portions of the Layers Panel specifically.
I'm working on a Macbook Pro, with a BenQ GW2765 external monitor.
The issue only happens while InDesign is on the external monitor, and it works fine while on the macbook pro.
I've attached a video sample of the issue in action.5 votesWe have identified that this occurs when you connect your Macbook Pro with an external monitor using the older, obsolete Apple adapter.
On using the newer, updated model of the Apple adapter, this issue does not occur. Many of our users have confirmed this.
Please share what hardware you’re using to connect the external monitor to your MBP.

Exporting from Indesign. Default format is ALWAYS IDML
we are constantly exporting PDF's from Indesign to place in layouts. The last couple of updates, Indesign insists on having IDML as the default choice. It used to be once you export a PDF, the rest would default to the same format, but now Indesign just defaults to IDML every time & it is infuriating to open the folder that shud B full of PDF's and find one PDF & the rest IDML :>(

General font selection in bold!
I have a question. I work a lot with questions and answers.
I ask if it is possible to put all my 'questions' in bold without me selecting one at a time. Is it possible to make a general selection of all? (I tried using the CTRL + F method), but it doesn't work, there are different questions and different names.)
Thanks in advance! Hugs from Brazil ma' friends!
