Forced line breaks within text variables introduces an unavoidable letter space
When a forced line break is inserted within text that is used for a variable, a random, unavoidable letter space is introduced into the variable text.
There are obvious workarounds, but a solution to this would be really convenient.

Export stops at 0%
Exporting common documents often results in a "crash" at 0%. No error comes up, it just stays at 0% indefinitely.
If I try stop the export I can't, if I try close InDesign I can't. I have to force quit the program and open it numerous times following in order to get all of my fonts back and registered... even if it's in a package.
Extremely time consuming and painful.
1 voteHi,
Can you please share a sample INDD file at rdubey@adobe.com with which issue is reproducible?We tried with some custom InDesign files, but export works fine
Thanks

Space character inserted following ligature replacement
Hello,
InDesign v14.0.2 inserts an (inaccessible) space character immediately following a substitution performed by the OpenType "Ligatures" feature. This does not occur in Illustrator, Photoshop, nor any other text layout app I'm using.2 votes -
InD responding slowly
This isn't a "bug" per se, but InD has slowed to a crawl when using. Doesn't matter if I am trying to select text, change tools, or click on a menu item. It's been going very slow for a while now, doesn't matter the file. I have tried to trash preferences and reinstall InD, and nothing has changed it. Oh, and I just have major lag, not a spinning ball.
I am Win10, InD CC 14.0.2. The only plug-in I am running is Suitcase Fusion, and that is up to date as well.
Help please, as InDesign is unusable at…

Background Tasks stuck on "Cancelling"
I was exporting multiple PDFs that were not exporting properly. When I figured out they were stuck, I manually cancelled the export in "Background Tasks". Both tasks have been "Cancelling" for two days. I cannot close the files nor can I close InDesign.

InDesign to InCopy Layout Malfunction
My company's graphics department develops scientific posters, and as a writer, I often have to make small adjustments to the text and am only given access to edit through InCopy (using version 14.0.2). This problem does not happen with every poster, but I often find that the whole frame of the poster is shifted when I open the assignments file in InCopy (please see example photos). I'm able to make my edits, but I can't export to a PDF without having the bleed, header, etc. shifted as I see it in InCopy. Our graphics department thinks this is a bug…

Workspace panels not reappearing when exiting and reentering application
I've noticed lately that my workspace panels are sporadically disappearing when I have a document open and I click out of the document on macOS Mojave and reenter the document shortly after. If I click 'tab', the workspace doesn't reappear. The only way to make it come back is to go to Window/Workspace/Reset [Name for workspace]. Application frame is disabled.
Currently on macOS 10.14.6

Paragraph Style won't override
- InDesign 2020 (15.0)
NOTE: I'm a designer with 22 years experience. I know part of this is 'sloppy' formatting on my part. But since switching to InDesign from QuarkXPress 15 years ago, I've never encountered this 'bug' before.
- I have a document with multiple 'old' Paragraph Styles. It's a multiple page document. A number of paragraphs have a style applied, but I've overridden them with other formatting.
The easy but lengthy fix would be to fix the Paragraph Style, but I was on a tight deadline.
PROBLEM:
When I try to override the Paragraph Style with other formatting, the Character…1 vote -
custom workspace save overwrites all
Running ID 15.0 on Mac OS 10.13.6
I have multiple custom workspaces depending on if I am working at home, the office or remotely.
Any time I save a workspace, regardless of if it is a new workspace or overwriting an old one, it changes all of my workspaces to the most recent saved version.
Effectively, I only have one custom workspace now. Any suggestions?

Export as InDesignMarkup (IDML) ignores the color profile
When exporting an indd-file as an IDML-file we've experienced a problem. In the original file there's an embeded a specific color profile (ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)).
If we check the exported idml file we found out that InDesign ignores the specific color profile and resets the profile to it's standard profile (U.S. Web Coated (SWOP)) - which is not the desired profile and not suitable for our european print environment.That was the reason of some color problems with some printing stores or agencys we're working with in the past.
At this time we couldn't find a solution or…

20 votesHello All,
Thank you for patience while we were investigating into the root cause of the issue.
During our investigation we identified that the issue manifests due to Symentec DLP antivirus software.Please find below steps to whitelist the application:
1. From the Enforce console select System > Agents >Application Monitoring.
2. Select the application to white list. If it is not listed, click on “add application” and provide at least one of the required application binaries.(Refer to Symentec DLP_Console.png for reference)
Note: DLP attempts to validate every field populated. We recommend using as few as fields as needed. If the whitelist seems to fail, try changing which required field is populated or removing one of the other fields.
3. Uncheck all of the detection channels under the “Application Monitoring Configuration.”
4. Click on save and verify the application in the list of monitoring activities is unchecked.

Abstürze nach Wechsel von CS6 zu CC
Ich arbeite an einem Buch mit vielen Abschnitten, einzelne davon wurden in CS6 bearbeitet und dann brauchte ich CC für die weitere Arbeit. Da in den Voreinstellungen für CC das Wörterbuch "Duden" und "Duden tolerant" empfohlen wird, stellte ich dies entsprechend ein. Unter CS6 war nur "Hunspell" oder "Proximity" möglich. Ich wollte aber weiter dasselbe "Benutzerwörterbuch" verwenden, da ich viele Fachwörter und Eigennamen etc. verwende, die nicht im Duden sind. Nach diesem Wechsel stürzte InDesign CC beim Öffnen von CS6 Dokumenten ab. Ich versuchte es mit System- und NVRAM-Resets. Ohne Erfolg. Es funktionierte nur, indem ich vor jedem Öffnen von…
