more than one file opens
When I open a file from the thumbnail preview image screen, another file always opens with it. This is very confusing if I work on multiple files that look similar in layout. If I open a file the old way from the File pull down menu, this issue never occurs. Having the thumbnail image preview screen of files is handy, but counter-productive if this bug continues to exist. And it has existed for several months.

Choose image among several
In CC2019 Indesign, when importing several pictures at once and trying to place them in prepared frames, the right arrow to select next image doesn't work properly (slow reaction and only shows next picture while placing cursor on next frame or displaying an image but loading an other one in the frame). Worked well in CC2018. Is this a bug and if yes, how to fix it?

Highlighting text in a table does not highlight the corresponding text in the story editor
CC2020
When I highlight text in a table, I would expect the same text to appear highlighted in the story editor. Instead, the story editor jumps to the beginning of the document.
Kind regards

thumbnails of links not available in Indesign 2020
when i'm placing images (psd files) in indesign, there are no thumbnails of the links.
1 voteAs per our discussion, the issue is not with the thumbnail on the links panel, but rather the one on the place dialog.
This thumbnail is governed by the OS and Windows OS does not generate the psd thumbnail and just shows the psd file icon as the thumbnail.
Thanks

shift doesn't work at all
I updated the version yesterday.... shift doesn't work any more!
16 votesHello All,
Thank you for your patience all this while; we really appreciate your support!
Our investigation suggests that one of common reasons for the problem is that certain software (mostly antivirus and other security applications) and browser extensions happen to enable “Secure Keyboard Entry” on Mac machines due to which some keys such as Shift key in this case do not perform the desired action in InDesign.
For now I request you to follow the below provided KB doc for the quick workaround of the problem.
https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/features-do-not-work-keyboard-keys-mac.htmlIn the comments section many of the users have confirmed that disabling Webroot SecureAnywhere (a security app) has resolved the issue for them. Please note that, the problem may not be related to a particular software; there could be a different application or antivirus which might be causing the problem by enabling Secure Keyboard Entry on Mac.

assignments not showing or saving with file type .icma or including the whole path in the file name
With the implementation of ID 2020 my team and I have run into a problem saving .icma files. (We are currently using PC's and I have not experimented with a mac yet.) I have found 2 things that happen based on what you do prior to changing the assignment location.
We have opened our files (all ID 2019 versions), all of which already have stories and assignments attached to them. After making our changes, and before saving the file I go to "Change Assignment location" and the file name is extremely long as it includes the complete path, along with…1 vote -
Spell Check Defaulting to Check Document. Needs to Default to Current Story
Spell Check in Indesign is defaulting to checking the entire document. I need it to check the story. Or, at the very least, allow me the option of telling it to default to checking the current story.

Glyph substitution not working with certain Oriya and Bengali glyphs
The following words in cannot be reproduced in InDesign. It seems the glyph substitution is not working in about 1% of cases.
র্যানিবিজুমাব — Bengali
ମହତ୍ଵପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ — Oriya
ସ୍ଵେଚ୍ଛାକୃତ — Oriya
କିମ୍ଵା — OriyaIt looks fine above, in any text editor, or in any Microsoft app, but does NOT look right in any Adobe app I tested, such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop CC 2019 and 2020 of each.
I am applying the World-Ready Composers.
I have tried copy+pasting the text from Word and also tried the Place command in InDesign.

format de document
Les fenêtres indiquant le format de document sont trop étroites et n'affichent pas les valeurs en entier.
par exemple : 2500 mm, le 2 est tronqué
ou comme sur la pièce jointe pour 370,2 mm et 262.2 mm, le chiffre des centaines n'apparaît pas à l'écran.

Index "Number Style Override" not working on multivolume works
InDesign is not recognizing "Number Style Override" on a book document with seven documents. Only recognizing the overrides on the document in which the index is generated. Major suck points there.
I'm running Mac OSX Mojave, 10.14.1, on a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch from mid 2015. InDesign CC 2019.

Sloooooowwwww InDesign CC 2020 :-(
I've not put this under "Crash" because it isn't a crash, but I updated Creative Cloud yesterday and now InDesign keeps locking up!
It doesn't seem to be linked to any specific actions, the program just keeps stopping to think. This suggests it's not making efficient use of resources.
I'm using a Dell Latitude 5591 on Windows 10 Pro 10.0.18362. It worked fine with the previous version of Creative Cloud, but I'm not going back to it because I want to have the latest version.

doc.printPreferences.copies = 3;
doc.print(false, pp);Don't work printPreferences.copies, as a result, only one copy is printed out.
