New document dialog is extremly slow
If I want to create a new document the dialog news at least 10 sec to open. After that I can set my defaults but when I click the »create«-button it takes another 10 to 20 sec until the new document is created. The fans are blowing like ****.

Ability to Add more than One Page at a Time
I have a "large" technical textbook, in my case 20 chapters and at least 22 indd files, if I wnt to add a page or two to an existing chapter, each time I click the new page icon, it takes a while for InDesign to reassess page and section numbers. Ten clicks of "new page later", it rather timeconsuming.
How about an option, similar to adding rows/columns to a table, that allows you to specifiy how many pages you would like to add?
At the moment, adding 10 pages means watching it update section numbers 10 times.
Kind regards
Mike…1 voteYou can use the ‘Insert Pages…’ option from the Pages panel flyout menu to add many pages at once. You can also specify where you want to add those pages.
Does this work for you?

Master Page
When setting up multiple 2 page spread master pages, there is an issue with graphics overlapping onto other master pages when 'Facing Pages' is switched on.
For example - Master Page A is blank, and Master Page B has a green box along the top of the page.
When the Master Page A is placed next to a Master Page B, the green box graphic spreads onto Master Page A as well.
Please see the attached screen shots for clearer explanation.
Thanks

serial number changed on cc2019
User is not required to fill-in a serial number on CC apps, but nevertheless the numbers still exist and are used by 3rd party script creators to identify the user and license the script.
this SN was kept the same on all CC versions but now it was changed. this means I need to repurchase my scripts licenses.
the 3rd party programmer can't use just username becuase there may be more than one indesign license under one username.
suggested solution: just keep the SN as it was on CC2018 and don'r make us pay for nothing22 votesThe fix for this issue is now available in the latest update 14.0.2 of InDesign 2019.

DataMerge facing pages odd disposition
Indesign 2019 14.0.2 x64 on Windows 10
I have created a data merge document that uses a facing pages master. My document before DataMerge only has one page. When the document is created only right pages are created, but the spread come back to facing pages if I add a second layout or if I toggle "allow selected spreads to shuffle" off and on again.
If my model has two pages, the document after DataMerge creates a list single right and left pages alternated untill you change the layout or toggle shuffle.
I think that it should be a spread…2 votes -
Text edits forcing blank
I keep encountering the same glitch in multiple documents where an edit to the text on one page forces a blank page (although running head and page number remain) on the following page, with the text re-flowing as expected on the page after that. For example, deleting an unwanted space is a frequent cause of this glitch. So far I've found 2 ways of making the text return to it's correct position and removing the blank:
1) place my cursor at the very end of the page before the unwanted blank and enter a space - this brings the text…

Copying RGB from Illustrator to Indesign no longer working. (Comes out CMYK)
When I copy an RGP element from Illustrator and paste it into InDesign, it comes out in CMYK (much more dull, and less vibrant than the RGB image). I have assured that my document is setup correctly and even had Adobe Support check it out and said that everything was setup correctly but the claimed that "copy and paste isn't the way to do it", and I need to "Place" the file every time. Am I the only one that finds this unacceptable? (Running the latest version of Adobe products and the latest MacOS Catalina)

PDF comments panel does not stick in workspace
We have discovered that the PDF Comments panel disappears when a document is closed.
But we have also found that any panels that are grouped with the PDF Comments panel in a saved workspace disappear when the document is closed.

Cross references break when layer is duplicated
Indesign version 14.0.3 x64
Issue reproduction: Create a page number cross references that links to a text anchor on a different InDesign document. Close all documents except for the one on which the cross reference is, and then duplicate the layer.
Expected result: the cross refereferences should be preserved.
Actual result: The cross references will break and display <?> on the new layer.
Work-around: open ALL documents that are referenced first (in my case up to 100), then duplicate the layer. Cross references will be preserved.

InDesign buffers every 5 seconds
I am on a new MacBook Pro; every other adobe program runs fine, including After Effects. There shroud be no reason why drawing my second text box InDesign makes it borderline crash. Im working off my internal hard drive and it is happening with every InDesign file. I have the display performance set to fast and I have no other programs opened.
