Master Pages text frame
Version 14.0.3 in Windows 7.
- Created a documents with facing pages and primary text frames
- Master A with text frame rule so can visible.
- Created Master B which is based on Master A
- Resized text frame of Master A
- Impact on master B.. Text frame shifted out of page area.
This strange behavior is while resizing using mouse drag. If resize through control panel it's perfect. But if move both mouse and through x,y control panel same strange behavior.

Captions box no longer auto fits to box
When I use the captions feature on a place image, the caption box no longer auto-fits to the size of the image boundary, but rather to the actual size of the image, even though it is scaled down in the box. This was not an issue in previous versions.

password protection makes it impossible to watch PDF on iOS
There is a bug in exporting a protected PDF to iOS Adobe Acrobat Reader. If I put a password protection for printing, text editing and content coping in the PDF, the Acrobat Reader on iOS can't show the file. The app crashes or every (!) page needs between 4 and 7 minutes to show up. Within this 4-7 minutes the page is simply grey or white. If I export the same InDesign document without password protection, the iOS Adobe Reader shows it perfectly and normal. As a workaround I exported it without password protection, opened on the Mac in Acrobat…

Accessibility and data merge
Windows 10, ID 14.0.2 (2019), Acrobat Pro DC 2019.012.20036.
Using Data Merge to create many pages of text from a large Excel file. Each row produces two pages. I have set up all the tags, reading order, bookmarks etc for the file but they are not reproduced for subsequent pages. When testing in Acrobat, the screen reader only reads the first two pages. There are no tags or bookmarks for subsequent pages. Can this be resolved?4 votes -
InDesign 14.0.2 constant spinning beachball - especially on text related commands
Working in InDesign 14.0.2 on High Sierra, (single computer home network) the programme is exceptionally slow - taking about 10 seconds (of beachballing) to select a line of copy. Clicking between objects takes 5-10 seconds also. This is happening on my Mac Book Pro and iMac, both running High Sierra - all other programmes are working normally. I have tried trashing my preferences and uninstalling etc, but nothing has improved the lagging issue. I have had to revert to the 2018 version to get my work done.

Loss of typographic enrichment (italic, bold, etc.) on import
On CC2019 14.0.3 but also on previous versions.
When I import a Miscrosoft Word text I sometimes lose part of the enrichment. On the attached example the majority of Bold are kept but some are gone. This is very problematic when working on documents of several hundred pages.3 votes -

Black artifacts appear on rulers
When opening an older ID document and working on it, moving the mouse pointer around leaves black artifacts on the rulers, top and left. It also distorts the 0 point of the ruler in the upper left corner.
A quick zoom and return to 100% size will clear it, but with use, the rulers will accumulate black marks again.
This bug has persisted in many previous versions of ID, and is alive and well in v15 (2020).
I hope you can fix this quickly.

Indesign Crashes Every time I Attempt to Change the Font With Arrow Keys
This just started happening this week. Every time I highlight my text, click on the font box, and attempt to cycle through fonts with my up and down arrow keys, Indesign freezes until I have to force it to quit.

Book / Index
Indesign 2020 15.0, Indesign CC 2019 14.0.3, Indesign CC 2018:
Crash when generating the index in a book with many chapters.
The book has 156 chapters (from 1 page to 30 pages) - when updating the index reproducible crash.
The book has 822 pages.Every time I sent an error report - no reaction. I think it depends on the number of documents.

Please can you share the sample document with which the crash can be reproduced?Thanks

Output intent broken in 2020
Seems that Indesign 2020 shouldn't have been released since one of the most important things is broken.
We tell our customers to use PDF/X4 to export pdf's so that we get a correct output intent profile in the pdf.
The problem is that it doesn't seem to matter what color settings I have, the output intent is always set to US Web Coated in the Output tab of the export window. So now everyone has to change the output profile manually in the output tab to the color profile setup in color settings. This is really bad and alot of…1 voteIt looks like the Synchronize Color Settings in Bridge was not syncing the color settings in InDesign. Changing the settings once again in Bridge sorted out the issue of synchronization.
Based on this information, closing the thread.
Thank you Anders for prompt back & forth communication and help in troubleshooting the glitch.—

InDesign performance is ****
The actual performance of InDesign is, speaking gently, ****. I really don't know how you can release such a buggy version. I'm doing nothing on my machine except writing this text and InDesign is using more than 500 % of my CPU and the fan of my graphic card is going nuts!
Calling the actual version "production ready" is a joke. I am really disappointed about Adobe. The only program actually which is really good and performing is XD.
