1. workspace's features (such as scroll down button and scroll sides, as well as page jump using pages tab) now showing

   I'm using InCopy on Mac, and the bottom features are hidden.
   I'm also using InCopy on my PC and it works fine. All the bottom are shown correctly.
   Before 2019, it only happened when I opened Assignments panel, which hid last couple assignments from the pane and I couldn't scroll down any further to reveal it.
   But now, it's happening on the bottom pane universally(?).
   Does anyone else having similar issues?

3. Proportional Scaling Using Shift Button Not Working

   In the 2017.1 release of InDesign, the ability to hold Shift and scale objects proportionally seems to have disappeared. I know for me this is a major functionality problem that is increasing the time I have to spend on current projects. I've checked support forums and others are encountering this problem, but I haven't yet seen a solution.

   Resolved For User  ·  Abhinav Kaushik responded

   Hello 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.html

   In 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.

   Regards,
   Abhinav Kaushik

4. windows 10 - paste number from clipboard history into X/Y-object coordinates

   How to repeat the issue:

   1. Activate Clipboard history in windows settings (win 10)
   2. Copy a random number to your clipboard (my testnumber "-2,375")
   3. Create a new document and place a rectangle (or random object) on your page
   4. Select the object and click (focus) in the field for the y-coordinates
   5. hit "windows+V" to open your clipboard history (must be activated in the settings)
   6. Click on your previous copied number.

   6-Bug. The number has been pasted two times in the y-coordinates field.

   Test system:
   - Win 10 pro (1809)
   - current Indesign CC version (how to check the actual version?)

   By the way, if you try the clipboard history in a text field in inDesign, it works totally fine.

   Thanks for your help.

5. When moving object or multiple objects with arrow keys odd results, sometimes scale, sometimes alignment, sometimes jumps pages

   Mac OS - Updated version of InDesign CC

   Too many to list but here are a few.

   Nudge object with arrow keys, the height but not the width changes
   Nudge multiple objects, one changes alignment
   Click and drag to select object, jumps pages down in the doc
   Moving object with mouse, jumps around the page
   Placing image by drag and drop screen jumps around
   Selecting Text , jumps around screen

   I have videos of all these but they are too large to post apparently.

   These are a small list of issues, i get crazy things constantly, this is the buggiest InDesign has ever been for me, been using it for over 10 years recently updated to this brand new mac and nothing but bugs.

6. Fonts displayed as missing with (OTF) appended even though they're installed

   InDesign seems to struggle to recognise installed fonts - possibly something to do with how Skyfonts works?

   A file created with Skyfonts fonts shows the font family in square braces with (OTF) appended and substitutes default font, rather than making use of the identically named font file, sitting in c:\windows\fonts\ on PC / Font Book on Mac.

   Same result if the font files are dumped in a Document fonts subfolder next to the InDesign file.

   Troublingly, using a different font cloud sync app (or in the rare instance where the font is available on fonts.adobe.com) doesn't remove the issue - InDesign lists those in its font family menu without the square braces and (OTF) appended.

9. Windows #@$!*&%^((@@)):[[

   Hello to the Adobe InDesign Geniuses! I write this with a heavy heart, I have been a mac holdout/Windows Defender when it comes to Adobe products (Photoshop) since the Mid 1990's If I had to guess, 1995 or 1996. I LOVE Adobe Products and have a huge distaste for Mac. I am reaching a breaking point with Windows, they are trying to make an OS SOOO much more and constantly causing problems, I just had to re install windows on 5 computers due to the latest update that I have yet to have one Windows tech support expert agree as to what the actual problem was, if there really was a problem with any windows patch..... I am seriously considering looking into a Chromebook. The only reason I have not jumped is.... No Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro etc... I know Adobe has started to make some apps available on Android/Chrome OS, is there any hope of a full Suite? If so, any clues as to when? Thank you!

11. Copying a page: Wrong position

    When making a copy of a page, for example a copy of page 1, the new copy lands on a wrong position in the page palette.
    1. Click and drag page 1 in the page palette while holding the alt-key. Then move mouse to the right, until a line appears between pages 1 and 2.
    2. Releasing the mouse button should result in a copy of page 1 between the original page 1 and 2. All subsequent page numbers should increase by 1.
    3. Instead of landing on position 2, the copied page appears on position 3.

    This issue has surfaced since the version before the latest.

    System: Windows 10, Adobe Indesign 14.0.1 with all updates.

    Please make the positions of these four controls consistent every place they appear.

14. Keyboard input problem

    Windows 10. ID 14.0.1
    This is similar to the 'missing first character' issue many of us have seen in the past. What happens, randomly, your keyboard input doesn't quite work. You can try various shortcuts and they simply will not work. You have to create (or go into) a text box, type some text.. and THEN keyboard shortcuts will suddenly work again.
    Acrobat does the same thing.
    Very annoying that when you think you've saved a file that it has NOT been saved.. you only find out when going to close a file that your 'ctrl S' did not work.

15. PDF-export: Small images (icons) seem corrupt on right side when compression is on

    Indesign: 14.0.2. x64
    Acrobat: 2019.010.20100

    Win 10 pro x64, 1809 up to date

    So small images look strange and you can see they appear corrupt on the right side. In the last 15 years I have never experienced an issue like this so I would like to know if this is an ordinary behaviour which I ran into by chance or bad luck.

    The used image is a scaled down image of a rather small photoshop-file.

    At first I thought my guides might cut the images, but they don´t. I worked on the .PSD file, I increased the size of the image containers/frames, which took me over an hour of wasted time and thus: money - before I realized the PDF-export might be the problem.
    A regular day of work with Adobe apps I guess. grml.

    But: it might be a regular behaviour caused by the combination of file and the way the recompression works.

    Image bug1 shows what it looks like in the indesign doc, as u can see with enlarged outer frame box.
    Image bug2 shows what it looks like after PDF export. You can see it is not right when printed too, so it is not a bug of representation.
    Image bug3 shows the PDF settings I use since I can think of for print files.

    Sorry I can´t show larger images as I am not allowed to show content by contract.

    Unfortunately I have no time to try multiple scenarios or (compression) settings so in this case we just deal with a bigger file size.

    Thanks for your time and maybe feedback!

18. Type Tool Flicker

    Specs:

    InDesign CC2018 (13.1)

    Mac Pro Late 2013

    Mac OS Mojave (10.14.3)

    64 GB RAM

    AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB

    Any document when first opened will blink the document window (not the entire screen - just the document) when clicking into a frame with the Type tool.

    It occurs one time only then the remainder of work on that document is fine.

    Open another document, issue reoccurs.

    Double-clicking a text frame with the Selection tool will not blink and take you into the text frame without issue.

    I've reset ID Prefs, removed all third party plugins and zapped my PRAM just in case.

    InDesign does not have GPU turned on (unavailable due to incompatible monitor/chip)

    Tried on multiple Macs - including Macbook Pro and newest Mac Mini. Same results.

19. publish online navigation buttons disappear in browsers and don't come back

    When I view a published document, the browser based navigation buttons and menu for downloading disappear after a couple seconds and don't come back without hitting F5. This is unworkable. Please change it so the nav arrows remain on the screen, even in full screen mode. I can't have my clients struggling to go to the next page. This happens in Chrome and Firefox. In Edge, they disappear, but will reappear if I move my mouse to the edge of the screen - also very frustrating because I just want to click through the document without struggling to find the arrows. This is a browser issue, NOT a document issue - this happens with ALL documents.

20. Footnote reference disappears when adding Unicode 1D513 into line

    I am using InDesign 14.0.2.

    We are a book publisher, and we sometimes use a special character in some of our academic work: a gothic P—the Unicode character 1D513 (Mathematical Fraktur Capital P). See: https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1d513/index.htm

    However, it does something very wonky with footnotes, which seems to be a bug. If we insert this character—Unicode 1D513—in the same line as a footnote reference, it makes the footnote reference disappear. The footnote stays in place. We have tried different fonts, but it doesn't seem to be font dependent. However, if it is in the same line, but after the footnote reference, it still appears. So it seems to be some strange interplay of this unicode character and the footnote references.

    I don’t know if there are any other characters that do this, but it doesn’t seem to be font dependent. The only way we are able to make the footnote reappear is to make the paragraph use the Adobe Paragraph Composer, instead of the Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer. However, this too is a problem because the paragraphs that use this particular Unicode character often have other languages in them as well, such as Hebrew, and we need the World-Ready Paragraph composer on to make those work, so we can’t just switch that so easily.

    See the attached InDesign document for an example of what happens. You’ll notice the special character P is right before the second footnote, but it is completely invisible, while still being “there.”

    I don’t know if this bug goes beyond this particular Unicode character or not, but it seems strange that InDesign footnotes are not playing well with it.

    Thanks for your help.

    I have an InDesign file if you need a sample, but the uploaded won't let me attach it. Can I email it to someone?
