Wrong translation of “rule” in Czech version of InDesign 2020
Please stop using Google Translate to translate Adobe UI to Czech language.
The new feature Column Rules is translated into Czech language as Regulations for Columns! (Pravidla pro sloupce) This is totally wrong! It should read “Linky mezi sloupci” (lines in between columns). Also the word “linie” is wrong, it is not used by designers. You should use “linka” as it is already in use in other UI dialogs in InDesign.
1 voteFix for this issue is now available in the latest update of InDesign 2020 – that is, InDesign 15.0.1
In the Creative Cloud Desktop application, click on the Updates section on the left. You should be able to see the Update available for InDesign. Please update your InDesign application to this version to try out the fix.
Let us know in the comments section if you face any problem with the updation process.

When converting files to a new version, some converted files have "copy" added to the name.
Opening a book from a previous version, with automatic doc conversion selected, causes some files to be overwritten when saved with "copy" added to the name. This nuance has caused a cascading calamity for our file management. If this function is intended, then it's execution is downright dumb. Nowhere was this pitfall mentioned when opening the files and saving them. Automatic Document conversion should be just that, automatic. Not 'automatically' mess up my naming conventions and filing system.
Shame on you Adobe.
1 voteThank you for reaching out to us.
Can you confirm the version of InDesign with which you are facing the issue?
It will be really helpful if you can share a screen recording of the workflow with us. It will give us unambiguous insight into the issue.You can send the video and test files to abkaushi@adobe.com

Missing Objects in Word pdf printing
The file prints the banner and logo okay in pdf. But when I place them in Indesign 14.0.3 x64, and print them from there, two objects disappear. I'm also using Windows 7 7601 and latest Suitcase Fusion.
It seems to happen with pdf files that are exported from Word from my clients.

Sentence case in styles
Please add a "Sentence Case" to Paragraph Styles. Incredibly the choices are limited to Normal, Small Caps, All Caps, OpenType All Small Caps. When editing a book the subheads are almost always Sentence Case. Why would this not be an option?

InDesign in Windows ALWAYS forgets app size and position!
This has been a persistent pain for many YEARS. Everyone knows that an app should open to the last position and size. That's what the double-box icon is for in the upper right corner of the window border. Every single application in WIndows honors this "requirement" for Windows conformance.
InDesign forces Windows users to reposition and resize the program every single time it is opened. This becomes a tremendous nuisance, and in any other program would be considered incomplete and unprofessional. PLEASE, for all the users who don't know how to report this bug, and for those of us who…

InDesign Documentation
I found out through Adobe support that page transitions in an interactive PDF created using InDesign only work in full screen mode. If this is true, your documentation should state this.
I also found out that the SWF function has been removed for InDesign 2020. Please update your documentation to let users know that this is no longer available in 2020, but is still available in 2019.

Multi-state objects and animated elements not working on State 1
InDesign CC 2019 14.0:
I have a 4 state multi-state object. Each state has a full-screen image with a text title and description which animates in (Fly-in from top) for each state upon load. Left/Right buttons control the interactivity.
However, when I add an animation to the text title/description in State-1 it causes the full-screen image to not load and the test/description text doesn't appear either. (Tested in Indesign in the EPUB Interactivity Preview panel and on iPad/iBooks)
When testing it in the EPUB Interactivity Preview panel and I go to State-2 using the buttons and then return to State-1…

IDML save changes Object Styles/Transparency Settings
When I export a package the resulting IDML and INDD files are different.
In all cases, the IDML file appears to randomly assign different transparency settings to random objects across any number of pages. One Object Style was changed to 60% opacity when it should have remained at 100%. In another a drop shadow was applied at 75% and Opacity was set to 60% for the image inside a graphic box, when neither effect had been turned on for the content of the box object.
It has taken me awhile to track down. My partner was opening idml versions of…

Right swiping a hyperlink and then right clicking produces inconsistent context menu
Hi there,
If I have a hyperlink as plain text and then highlight it, then right-click the area, I sometimes get an option to turn it into a hyperlink and other times I get the spell checker menu with not such option.
It would be good if the option to turn text into a hyperlink was always visible when you right-clicked highlighted text. I have dynamic spell checking turned on.
Kind regards

Wrong menu selection launched from menu bar
Unlike the issue explained by another user below, my main menu bar selection opens correctly but the item selected from the main list is not launched. Instead, a random command is used. Example: choosing 'Export...' from File menu launches the Print Booklet dialog box. The problem happens randomly about every week or so. The only solution I've found is relaunching InDesign.
I'm attaching 3 videos of the problem.

Can't scroll Pages Window when Export dialogue box is up
Can't scroll Pages Window when Export dialogue box is up
When exporting certain pages from a large document it was handy being able to scroll through the pages window while the export dialogue was open. This was possible on pre CC indesign copies.

Conditional text is not applied correctly after line break in IDMLs
If Unconditional text follows a line break where another Paragraph Style is applied with Conditional text, making an IDML out of the document will change the Unconditional text to Conditional.
Please see example screenshots.

content aware fit and linked images problem
Content aware fit is a great idea and is potentially a real timesaver when importing images but I've had to disable it as when updating existing linked images that have been adjusted, rather than keep their size/scale as before they all auto-fit and this is a nightmare when you have carefully placed images such as logos in a long document.
Could do with an option to auto fit on image import only, or an option to override when updating image links. Unless I've missed something?

Indesign performance issue : CC 2019 uses all the system memory on Mojave
So basically i cant't use InDesign since updating to the new version. Even if it's idle without anything open, it starts to use up all the system memory in macOs Mojave.
This is what happens:
1. Open InDesign

3. After about 5 minutes, there's a system alert of Mojave saying, InDesign is using 550 GB of system memory and there's nothing left to work with.System:
iMac Pro (macOS Mojave 10.14)
3 GHz Intel Xeon W (10 cores)
