White shows as black
All white (pure white such as paper, 0000, ffffff, etc.), shapes and even within linked images are showing black. Some pages are affected and some are not. If I go into the swatch slider CMYK mode, sliding K from 100 to 13 is normal, however, 12-0 starts scaling back down to black. I've tried linking to all types of images (TIFF, PNG, JPEG, transparencies). The file was fine last time I worked in it, but upon reopening this is happening. Is this a bug or a corrupt file?
1 voteYour screenshot shows that you have selected an image (linked/embedded) and applied the White swatch to it.

Italics not showing in InDesign CC2019 - but does in all other versions
I have a .docx file that when brought into InDesign CC2019 (14.0.2) the italics do not show. The italics show in all other versions of InDesign. This is worrying for when we work on long documents. The error still occurs if the file is changed to a .doc file.
1 voteHi,
Can you please tell me what part of text in the word file is not imported as italics in Indesign?
The italics portion in the word file are:
Australian Book Review
H-France Review
je ne sais quoiall of which are imported as italics in InDesign
Can you tell me what am i missing?
Thanks

Adjust Layout: add an option to ignore objects anchored in text or bring back legacy (2018) layout adjustment
I always made extensive use of the old layout adjustment feature in 'margins and columns', yet the new 'adjust layout' gives inconsistent and confusing results, resizing objects that never used to get changed.
It's gone from being very useful to a liability.
For me it was great for resizing the main text frame on multi-page (100s+ pages) books, but leaving the objects pasted into the text frame alone (figures, etc). Also moving page numbers aligned with margins, but not changing the sizes.
The new feature stretches and distorts carefully measured objects/figures, changes anchored object settings (at least, things move about…

reference point
Reference Point moves on objects when one object on page is rotated. Indesign 2019 (14.0.1) If one (or more) objects on a page is rotated, then the reference point on other objects on the page changes as you select through the different objects. This applies to text, picture, and tint boxes. If you try and make the reference point the same on all objects on a page, say the upper left point, then select other objects, they have changed to a different reference point. This makes it very difficult to align objects from page to page.
Mac OS 10.12.61 voteThe Reference point, as you may already know, is not object-dependent. Once it is set to a specific point on the 9-point grid, it will be the same for all objects in that document.

Pasteboard not centered in layout view
I'm not sure if this is the right bug category, but when trying to view spreads, no matter what view option I pick, the pasteboard is aligned right only, with lots of extra room on the left. If I scroll all the way left, the left edge of the pasteboard is about in the middle of the view area and if I scroll all the way right, nothing past the right edge of the pasteboard is visible. It should be the other way around if not centered, because at least then, all my tool panels wouldn't cover up what I…

GREP: Repetition (*, +) at the end of a Positive Lookbehind group doesn't seem to work
Product: Adobe InDesign CC 2019 (14.01)
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a document with the text "abcde"
- (Case 1) Do a GREP search for "(?<=bc+)d"
- (Case 1) Do a GREP search for "(?<=bc*)d"Expected result: highlight the "d"
Actual result: Cannot find match.
Note that searching for "(?<=bc)d" does work, as do of course "(?<b)c*d" and "(?=b)c+d".
Note also that this applied to GREP Styles in a paragraph style.
2 votesDoes including bc in a Character Set, like:
(?<=[bc*])d
OR
(?<=[bc+])d
work for you? -
New, based-on Object style isn't "based on"
Take an Object Style and create a new style based on that style. When the new dialog opens with the based-on name present, it has a number of items chosen and selected, but it's not the same as the based on item.
You could try Duplicate Object Style and then add the based on-name, but while there is no error, any change made to the based-on object does not change the new object style.
1 voteBased on Style does inherit many of the properties from the Base style. And when you change those properties in the Base style, those properties get propagated to the child style.

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.

panels / windows won't open, InDesign doesn't launch 80% of the time
Honestly wasn't sure what to file this under. I am running the latest version of InDesign (version 14.0.2). About 4/5 times when I click to launch InDesign, it bounces for several minutes and then nothing happens... and then it stops bouncing and the dot under the app also goes away, yet the app says its open - still no windows. Eventually - usually after about 10-15 minutes of waiting - I have to right click, quit, and start again.
But this is the part that really bothers me: When it finally does open properly and loads a document, many of…

GREP: find period (.) character followed by endnote reference number. Should be (\.)(~U) but doesn't seem to work.
1 voteHi,
Please can you confirm if this GREP query works for small text ranges? (for example text selection containing around 10K characters)
For me, the query works for just in a document containing one (.) followed by one endnote markerIf it works for you as well on small documents, your issue may be same as https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/37286893-cc-14-0-2-grep-search-not-working

I emphasize enough how much I dislike the new styling on the text/paragraph style dialogues
It is SOO much harder to select the paragraph (or whatever) style I need now. The key information in that dialogue is the style name, which I know you know because that's what you show when it's selected. But that style name isn't the most visible part of the drop-down. In my case, it's darn hard to see. This is slowing me way down and I'm feeling very grumpy about it.
I was also really irritated when the resize quick keys did a switcheroo here after 20+ years, but I can get over that. This one -though! Apologies for the…1 voteHi,
This new menu you are seeing is only visible from the properties panel.
You can still see the list of paragraph styles from the Paragraph Styles menu (Type→Paragraph styles) in the same way as it used to be in previous years.

text bold italic regular
Cannot easily change text with bold italics and bold regular to non-bold italics and non-bold regular.
0. On Windows 7, InDesign 14.0.1 x64:
1. In a normal text window, type "regular" in non-bold regular Times New Roman font.
2. Then type "italics" in non-bold italic Times New Roman Font.
3. Select the entire "regularitalics" phrase.
4. Click Ctrl-B. The entire phrase correctly becomes bold.
5. Click Ctrl-B again.
Expected behavior: The entire phrase should revert back to regular.
Actual behavior: Only "italics" reverts back to regular. The "regular" remains bold.1 voteHi,
Please let us know if using the short cut keys ctrl+shift+b/i helps to change the font style.Thanks,

No Break slows down InDesign CC 2019
When No Break is added to multiple words, it slows down InDesign CC 2019 14.01 tremendously.
We use No Break very often in our texts, e.g. to keep web site addresses, email addresses and allergens together as this is a requirement from our customer.
This was never a problem in older versions but something seems to be changed in InDesign.
I added an .idml file containing an auto-size text frame with some text (allergens). Editing the text frame in an older version of InDesign works smoothly. Doing the same thing in CC 2019 goes very slow.1 voteHi,
Please can you mail me a sample file along with a small video showing the steps?
