gpu performance not working
This literally just started happening today. I have not installed ANY new anything.

Intel HD Graphics 630 1536 MB, running High Sierra 10.13.1.
Running latest version of InDesign CC 2018 build 13.0.1
As of about an hour ago, I can no longer use the animated zoom or GPU performance. Everything on the screen disappears and you can see the rulers moving as I try to zoom in/out or try to scroll pages.…2 votesHi ,

grep query doesn't work to delete multiple page breaks
Hi,
I wanted to delete all page breaks (manual, odd, even) in an InDesign document with Grep:Find: [~P~L~E]+
Replace: \rThis query doesn't work, it finds nothing.
If I use one by one it's prefect. What' wrong?(Attached test-file)
Best regards,

Moving objects between layers using the layers panel doesn't always work
I struggle with moving objects between different layers in an InDesign document by using the layers panel. Often it takes two or more attempts to move objects. I wonder if it's the tolerance of the buttons or if this is genuinely a bug.
13 votesPlease update InDesign to the latest version, InDesign CC 2018 (13.0) for the resolution of the issue.

Outside aligned strokes are buggy
After outlining text, putting an outside or inside stroke on it produces odd results. It seems it aligns to the absolute outside of the object, rather than the edges like it does in other Adobe programs. I've attached an example of what adding an outside stroke to an outlined 'e' looks like in both Indesign and Ilustrator looks like. This seems to effect any object that has a section cut out.

Using Text Wrap causes InDesign to crash!
When I use the text wrap or copy/paste an object with text wrap applied, the program crashes.
I noticed this is only happening when I attempt to add them to a page that includes a table in it.

Crash when exporting
Every time I try to export my document to a PDF InDesign 12.1 crashes. I've quit and restarted the software, and restarted my computer. I have no pending updates. I'm not sure why the program crashes every time I try to export. I've tried to go around the issue by packaging the file, exporting directly to PDF, or getting a PDF from a "print" operation, but nothing seems to work. It crashes every time.

Table with Alternating Row Stroke
When using a table with alternating row strokes, the stroke between the first and second rows is always 1pt, not matter what the cell or table style is set to.
In this example, every other row of the body should be stroked at .5pt. Everything works except the first row, which is 1pt.
