InDesign 14 opening network files as read-only
We have been using InDesign for a while with files being stored on a network SMB share. on 4/4/19, after a few folks updated to 14.02, the Indesign and Incopy files are primarily only able to be opened as read-only.
Network server permissions have been verified and no other changes have occurred in our environment.
9 votesPlease help us with answers to the below queries:
1. OS version of the machine where issue is reproducible.
2.Are the files opened simultaneously by more than one user?
3. Does the same file which is opened as Read Only in Id 14.0.2, when opened in Id 14.0.1 opens fine?
4. Does remounting the SMB drive fixes the issue? -
the document window extends below the bottom of screen
One file is open and you have the document window filling all available real estate besides the tool windows, when a second file is opened, the document window extends below the bottom of screen and must be resized again to view the info at the base. This issue was not apparent on pre CC Indesign

Typekit keeps breaking sync and deleting downloaded fonts
Typekit keeps breaking sync and deleting downloaded fonts.
When I open Indesign, the fonts I previously downloaded are nonexistant which makes working with my document impossible! This happens at least once a week and persists after multiple uninstalls, system restarts and re-installs. Sometimes, it does not sync (or only some fonts sync) even after logging in again.
On a side note, Adobe CC downloader constantly logs me out.
With all the--excessive--background processes adobe now forces us to run you would think there shouldn't be an issue. I am more than happy to provide feedback and system information to fix this…

App Switcher
When I use app switcher on MacBook Pro, Catalina, InDesign 15.0.1, I cannot get over to InDesign. I have to use Mission Control, then click on the Desktop to which I have assigned InDesign. I would appreciate if that could be fixed. Gary

impossible to have high quality display with bitmaps
With cs6 no problem. The same bitmaps files (TIFF) with CC, the display is very bad, even in high performance. Impossible to find a solution with technical assistance. Graphic designers with whom i works have the same problem. Apparently on the forums it would be a known bug. I work with windows 10.
Two screenshot to see the difference between CS6 and CC4 votes -
With Adjust Layout ON, Text Frames shrink to extremely tiny size on changing Margins.
I am working in Adobe InDesign CC 2019 14.0.1. When I have a manuscript already flowed into my document and try to adjust the margins on the master page with Adjust Layout enabled, when the new margins are applied to the document, all the existing text boxes "disappear." From what I can tell, they have been resized down to an infinitely small point in the middle of the spread. Obviously, this is not useful. I used to be able to adjust the margins across an entire book-length document in one go with layout adjustment, and the text on every page…

Preflight and color white problem
In the screen I am attaching an example of wrong preflight which creates many problems and slows down the work.
This malfunction was also present in previous versions of InDesign.
In the attached example, is used only one Pantone color and when I do preflight, it indicates 93 color as error.
So I have to check however all errors and lose a lot of time but the reported errors refer to the present white color2 votes -
paragraph collapsed into single line
CC2020 InDesign, multi document book, paragraph styles that force all text to the baseline grid, with space between paragraphs. Instead, occasionally and unpredictably, paragraphs will collapse so that all lines are laid on top of one another. Leading is not zero.
Solutions have been:
- Hard return, then delete the return
- add a single line after or before the paragraph to take the place of space-after
- move the text-wrapped image near the paragraph up or down.None of these solutions work all the time, and sometimes none work.
WTF.

Severe performance issues
Using Version 14.0.3 on a MacBook Pro. Every time I try to switch from one object to another the program gives me a spinning wheel of death for about a minute (sometimes more...sometimes I have to force quit/restart). I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app completely. This happens regardless of the document that I have open, even just a text document with no images, etc. There is no crash, the program just freezes entirely.

Incopy 2020. Please fix glitch. You have to use scroll bar to click "up" through queue lists - no longer able to click list.
Incopy 2020. Please sort unclickable queue list on northward direction. Now you have to use scroll bar to access queues "higher" up. Revert to system as in previous version? Use of scroll bar is waste of energy. Thanks
