Page Margins Bug
I am having a bug/issue with margins. In the page setup and the properties dialogues the measurements are showing as the defaults, but clearly they have been changed as noted in the attached file. This file was created in an earlier version of INDD.
3 votesThe Document Setup shows the Margins of the document when it was created or margins that will be assigned to any new pages you add to the document. However, you can override margins of individual pages by using the Margins and Columns dialog. And this is what has been done for the Page – the Top and Outside margins have been set to 25mm and 45mm respectively (changed from their default setting of 12.7mm).
Hope this helps.Adobe InDesign team

Clicking on image doesn't show it in the Links panel
Clicking on an image within a frame doesn't show it in the Links panel, so I have to scroll through the list of links to find the image - This sometimes works, sometimes does not.

No Hyphenation in CC 2019 (ver. 14)
Hi there – it seems that the CC 2019 (v. 14) can't Hyphenate. I use – without luck – the checkbox in the Control Panel. Have I missed a secret Button?

Background Tasks Palette too wide
The Background Tasks Palette is too wide compared to other palettes in the UI (MacOS).
I dock several palettes together to save real estate on my monitor. When I focus on most palettes, the width is 240 pixels, but the Background Tasks palette can't be made narrower than 400 pixels – a 66% increase! If there was a reason to have this palette be so wide I'd understand the limitation, but most of the relevant information in that palette would easily fit within the 240 width.7 votes -
Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders.
I can't even open InDesign anymore, I keep getting an error message that says "Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders. Ensure that you have appropriate permissions and then restart Adobe InDesign." I've changed permissions on every folder and file to "Read & Write" that I thought would help make it work but nothing is working. I was trying to open the latest version of ID, even undownloaded and tried using CC 2017 to no avail. I need this fixed ASAP.

Anchored Textframes with Auto adjusting height within a Textfreame
- CC 2018 – 13.1 (Can't update to CC 2019 right now because of Plugins)
- Create a big "master" Text frame

- Paste those two text frames into the first created "master" Text frame
- Change the Text in the first Text frame (Add some empty lines or remove text) and see InDesign fail to update.
- Expected result: Should be pretty obvious... InDesign should not fail to update the current view.
- Actual Result: All Textframes are misaligned because InDesign does not update correctly – If…

Importing Microsoft Word files doc. and .docx
Creative Cloud and Office 364 is up-to-date (although this issue happened before the upgrade so it has something to do with the import filter for .docx files into InDesign [this is the first occasion]).
While importing a .docx file, revisions from the word file appeared in the layout text. I noticed as I started to typeset. Scary.
Checked the Word file, upon Select All, references in the text were highlighted in a darker gray. There was no extra text appearing and revisions were all approved and accepted.
Word file was saved as a .dotx file and imported, the mysteriously embedded…

Mp4 not work at "Place from URL" Option
I have place mp4 files from "Place from URL" option in the document and its place nicely when I have prepared epub and publish online then doc display empty page after discussion with adobe they told me that mp4 not compatible, so i have to convert video in FLV extension then it will work, which is impossible for me. MP4 is most useful extension and Adobe need to solve this and make mp4 compatible for it.
Keep in Mind when we place from "Place from URL" Not direct placing of MP4 file, "Place form URL" Option.
Thanks!

AIGPU sniffer
Hi I keep having two problems with CC. It seems that Every adobe product that I use opens AIGPU sniffer in ICONS of "last used". Kind of annoying to see that on my OS toolbar all the time.
Second problem is a spacebar hand problem - even I have seen some solutions it seems it is always something different that interrupts this feature - this is crucial tool to use.
Both of those bugs I noticed right after I downloaded another update for CC that I always do and I expect to have some bugs on the start - got…

content aware fit and EXIF information
Content aware fit works fine with landscape oriented pictures. And with pictures saved from Photoshop, even if in portrait mode. But when I place a picture in portrait mode which has not been saved by Photoshop yet, there is a problem: Content aware fit seems to ignore the EXIF information in the picture, and treats the picture as landscape-oriented.
I get the same problem when using portrait mode pictures in an ePub with flexible layout. So I think InDesign should read the information of a picture more accurate than it does now.
Similar but on a different part of the…1 voteThis is fixed in latest release of InDesign (15.0). Please try our latest release.

Cross reference formats
Indesign 13.1, Windows
When editing a cross reference format there is a button to insert special characters such as "opening simple quotation mark" and "closing simple quotation mark" which should look like ,this'. Instead, the resulting opening character is an asterisk (*) and the closing character is a plus (+) -> *this+1 vote -

Radial gradient becomes oval when rectangle frame is vertical
Radial gradient becomes oval when rectangle frame is vertical
1) Version: InDesign CC 2018
2) Draw a vertical rectangular shape and insert a radial gradient
3) Expecting the gradient to be a perfect circle.
4) Actual result is an oval gradient that is impossible to change into a perfect circular gradient, even when holding the Shift key while using the Gradient Swatch Tool.
5) No matter what I do, the gradient remains an oval, unless I stretch the shape back to a square or a horizontal rectangle.The only annoying way I found to temporarily solve this problem is to…
