Reading order of footnotes is incorrect for multi-column layouts
InDesign is not placing footnotes correctly in the reading order when generating accessible PDFs for layouts with more than one column. Instead of placing the footnotes at the bottom of the page's reading order, InDesign is placing them at the end of the first column, interrupting the reading order.
Also, after correcting the reading order by placing the footnote(s) at end, Acrobat reports a 'Tagged Annotations - Failed' error for the footnote or the first footnote in a block of footnotes when it is a hyperlink.

first keystroke is missing after pasting text
The Show Paste Options setting eats the first keystroke after pasting text. Turn this setting OFF and the problem disappears. Turn it on and you will think you're going crazy.
InDesign CC 19.0.1 on macOS Ventura 13.6.1 (22G313) on Apple Silicon M2 Pro
Create a new document with a text field. Make sure Show Paste Options is checked (in Preferences » Clipboard Handling... » Show Paste Options)
In this example (see attached video), after pasting text, I typed "5" twice. I should see two "5"s following the pasted text.
The first "5" does not register. Only the second "5" appears…

table indent
19.0.1 - The default table loads with an 8 pica left indent. Creating a table from text also loads an 8 pica indent but I could not find a way to alter that. In the styling it showed 0 indent. I was able to adjust the default table but not the one I created from text. I deleted preferences and there was no change. Please fix.

If an image (a link) is missing in the InDesign document, then there is a red circle with a white question mark on the image in the document and on the link in the Links panel. When I double click on the red circle in the Links panel, a file explorer window opens, and that window shows the right image file name in the "File name" text field. But if I double click the red circle that is on the image inside the InDesign document, then the file explorer shows the wrong file name. It shows the name of the…

InCopy cannot export assets that were inserted from CC Library into PDF - link reported as missing
The only way to export Notes from InDesign into PDF is to use InCopy, however exporting to PDF form InCopy is now compromised, because any assets in the document inserted from CC Library are reported as missing.
