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.

Shared document on server crashing upon opening
I am working with colleagues on a file stored on a shared server. When they try to work on a document that I have worked on (documents that I have changed, not just created), InDesign crashes upon trying to open the file. If they then try to restart InDesign it continues to crash upon starting until they restart their computer. We have both tried updating InDesign and it is still occurring. Thanks!

Ignore All not working in spell check
When using the spell check, the "Ignore All" feature no longer appears to work. When spell checking a long document this is a pain and it's really easy to miss something that is actually wrong.
This seems to be a fairly recent thing as it did used to work. Using the latest version of InDesign.
8 votesThis issue got fixed in InDesign CC 2019 (v 14.0) released in Oct 2018.
Please update to the latest version of InDesign (v 14.0.1), available via Creative Cloud Desktop app.We thank you for your support.

My cursor is vanishing in InDesign when I move it over a frame (or object inside a frame). It is almost like it is underneath or behind the frame/object.

form field tag export
Current version - InDesign CC 2018
Form field tags are not created when exporting an interactive .pdf with tags.
To recreate:
1. Create a form with form fields.
2. Add everything to Articles pane in order from top to bottom per page.
3. Export to interactive .pdf, make sure to elect to create tags and set tabbing order by structure.Expected result - when the file runs through the Accessibility checker in Acrobat Pro - it passes.
Actual result - all form fields are missing tags and does not pass the accessibility checker.
Everything worked great before I updated InDesign…

Slow lag time typing and generating raster image
I have not had this problem before but there is about a 2 second lag on everything from typing to panning around. I have aerial images via PDFs linked into the file (5 of them) and I'm placing leaders and text on top. The document is only 5 pages and it's very frustrating-please help!

Text wraps when replacing a swatch
If I replace a swatch the text wraps at one place. It happens just with one color in the document... I doesn't matter which swatch I use for replacing... I never seen this before. I image how risky that is when you're replacing a swatch in a large project like a catalog and than somewhere in the document text is wraping...

InCopy Assignments Updates Crash InDesign
I have an InDesign book file housing several InDesign files that are news page documents with InCopy assignments. When I open the .indd files from the .indb file and a story has been updated (update links dialogue) when I click on "update links" InDesign crashes. I've clicked "don't update links" and it doesn't crash. However, when I go to the page that needs updating and I click update in the assignments panel, InDesign crashes.
This all happened before and after I reset my InDesign preferences.5 votesHi,
As confirmed by the user, The issue is resolved with the latest InDesign CC 2018(13.1.0.76).Regards

datamerge crashes after updating placeholder
The Crash happened after selecting the word between the data merge tags << WORD >> and then clicking on the placeholder name in the data merge panel. I had to do that to update a datamerge placeholder that lost its link to its source after converting the document back from cc18 to cc17.
After relinking the data merge document, some of its tags still worked throughout the document and some didnt.2 votesTo identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it.

Error Message "you cannot reverse this change with the edit > undo command".
This comes up continuously. The only way you can dispose of it is by shutting the program down. Apparently I am not the only person, as it been reported before. See the Adobe forum the same problem - forums.adobe.com/thread/2292990
This makes it an official problem not exclusive to my experience.
Do we have fix???

Keyboard bold shortcut uses wrong font weight
When I press Cmd+B to unbold Helvetica, it makes it UltraLight instead of regular. How weird! The old CS6 InDesign seemed to know what non-bold was better than the new font selector. Please take its information and make the new tool smarter. Thx

Changes are not tracked when you copy and paste text from more than one cell into a table
This exists in all version of InDesign and InCopy.
To reproduce (see corresponding images):
a) Create a new document with a table filled with text and in InCopy set it to tr.ack changes.
b.) Copy the contents of at least two cells.
c.) Paste the contents into different cells.
d.) Initially these changes will be showed as tracked in story/galley view.
e.) When the document is saved and the reopened these changes are no longer tracked.
- The expected result is that the changes should remain tracked after the document is saved and reopened.
