links labeled as "modified" when actually "OK"
ID= v13.1
MacOS= 10.13.4Problem: Open any ID file and links that should be "OK" are labeled as "modified". I do not get any error window that pops up notifying me this. Without taking any action, I close the ID file and reopen it and links are now labeled as "OK". Open it up a third time and links are "OK". I QUIT out of ID and open that same file and see links as "OK" and now they are labeled as "modified". This process repeats. Attached video to show. All links in these ID files are not modified or…
13 votesHello All,
Thank you for your patience all this while, We have concluded our investigation into the issue and below is our finding.
This issue is due to the use of a specific version of Extensis Universal Type client: version 6.1.6.
The issue is reproducible only with Id 2018 as Extensis UTC 6.1.6 is not compatible with Id 2019.Please note:
If you are using Extensis UTC 6.1.6 with InDesign 2018 please use any other version of Extensis UTC which is compatible with Id 2018 to avoid this issue.Or you can upgrade to Id 2019 and used compatible version of Extensis UTC.
Thanks,

TEXT EDIT
When I try to edit text I now always have to double click on text box twice as the first time doesn't work. This is incredibly frustrating and time consuming. I have tried all of the suggestions on the adobe forums including re-installing and turning off type contextual controls but nothing works. A separate issue that has come up is my InDesign keeps crashing when i try to add rows to a table.

Cannot place EPS image in empty box
InDesign 14.0.1.209
Mac OSX 10.14.3Placing an EPS file generated from "Barcode" (by AppsForLife) does not work properly if the target box is empty. If box already contains a graphic, the file will place properly via "Place" or drag+drop.
On a new image box or box where the existing image has been deleted, the following occurs (via Place or drag+drop):
Image will seem to appear in the target box. Once mouse button is released, the imported image is no longer in the box and the pointer changes to a "placement selector" prompting to place the image in a new box.

Export to PDF crashes when Printer's Marks checked on in PDF export window menu (Indesign 14.0.1 )
When I leave Printer's Marks unchecked, Indesign exports effortlessly.
Crashing while exporting to PDF happens with any design, regardless of the contents in the design (RGB, .ai files, etc.)
I have tested it on exporting older designs that have already been sent to print with printer's marks, prior to this issue.
Note: checking or unchecking Bleed and Slug don't interfere – only Printer's Marks do.
1 voteBased on user comments that the crash was no longer reproducible in 14.0.1, we’re closing this issue.

Edit and Copy text box, delete another box, copied box is lost
MacBook Pro (2018, 13-inch, 2.3 Ghz Intel Core i5), with High Sierra (10.13.6), and InDesign (14.0.1).
I have two text boxes - Box1 and Box2 - with text in them.
I edit the text in Box1, copy Box1 (not the contents; the text box itself).
I delete Box2 by pressing the Backspace key while Box2 is selected.
I paste, and get Box2.
Expected functionality: The box I specifically copied - Box1 - should be resident in the clipboard. Not Box2.
Deleting an item should NOT copy it to the clipboard and overwrite the previous clipboard contents.

Using text variables causes highlighting text in PDF to be inconsistent/scrumbled
When exporting to PDF from a file including text variables, it results in text in pdf that it is impossible to highlight correctly. and therefore - it is impossible to mark PDF comments on it. Screenshot and PDF files are attached.
It only happened with ARIAL font, and only in certain book files (that were created in previous ID version). I couldn't recreate the bug in another file.
When I removed the text variables the PDF was exported fine.
I also had another kind of conditional text I made in these files - it was a sentence written inside the…1 vote -

white overprint with placed INDD
I stumbled across a strange phenomenon today. I have an INDD file (file 1), which is placed as such in another INDD file (file 2). In this file 1 there is a Swiss cross, which is placed as EPS. If this placed file 1 is exported as PDFX-4, everything looks correct. However, if the file 2 with the placed file 1 is exported as PDFX-4, something strange happens. The Swiss cross disappears in the PDF or the white is set to overprint. However, this is neither stored in file 1 nor in the EPS.
I have the following

Character Panel/Properties Panel font display font not correct for GREP-Styles
Indesign CC 14.0.1, x64
IF a GREP-style is at work formatting found text-style-ranges, then the font style dropdown in character panel/properties panel/control panel, may not correctly reflect the font in a selection . Please see screenshot attached.
In the screenshot, a paragraph format grep style has applied a character style "bold" to the word "Foto:" and "Text:". The user has selected the characters OT from the word "Foto:" as an example. The character panel font style should say "Bold", ... as you can see "Light caps" is NOT correct.

Keyboard commands do not respond in document until text field is selected
Indesign 14.0.2 x64
Windows 10After opening any document, the keyboard does not work. Print, open, and quick key selections for tool will not register until I select the type tool with the mouse, and click on a text field so that the cursor appears.
I then have to click on the selection black arrow tool for any keys to start working. I use mainly quick key shortcuts and commands all day, so this occurs every new document opened.
1 voteCould you please try clearing up(or renaming) your preferences and cache for InDesign 2019(14.0).
If you still face the issue after doing the above, please share with us some screenshots and(or) small video demonstrating the problem.-InDesign Team

[ID-4219717]Colors are displayed differently between pages
InDesign 13.0.1 on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) OS 10.13.3
Open a CMYK document. Place an sRGB file on page 1. Place the same (or copy) on page 2.
Expected: the colors on both pages look the same.
Actual result: With color-proof switched off, the colors on page 1 show as if color-proof turned on while on page 2 the colors show correctly. See screenshots with the same files on 2 pages. I changed nothing I just moved the picture from one page to the other.
With color-proof turned on all pages look like page 1.24 votesThanks for reporting.
We will review the bug-InDesign Team
