Copying animations loses timing panel settings
When copying/duplicating animations (using ANY method), the timing panel settings are completely lost. This is really bad for complicated animations. The timing panel settings should be maintained when animations are copied/pasted or duplicated in any way.

Grep expressions with ~F in a character class fail in endnotes
The inclusion of ~F in a character class invalidates grep expressions in endnotes.
InDesign version: 14.0.2.324 (with the GREP fix installed)
Steps to reproduce:
- Open the attached document. It contains a single page with text and an endnote.
- In the GREP tab of the Find/What window, enter the following GREP expression:

And target the document. The expression matches from a digit up to the next period, comma, semicolon, or footnote marker.

Disappearing footnotes on export
Since updating to the latest major release of InDesign (14), we have been experiencing issues in one of our templates where footnotes have been disappearing from chapters (documents) in a Book when exporting the Book as a PDF.
This was not an issue in previous versions of InDesign and the template has not changed.
Is this perhaps a bug?

Nested Line Styles interfere with Grep Styles
I'm experiencing a bug where Nested Line Styles are interfering with Grep Styles.
To reproduce:
1. Create a Character Style "Small Caps" that only applies OpenType All Small Caps.
2. Create a Character Style "No Break" that only applies the No Break rule.
3. Create a Paragraph Style "Test":
a. In Nested Styles, add Small Caps for 1 line
b. In Grep Styles, add:
i. Small Caps: ([\u\d&@#\$%/]{2,}(?!\l{2,}))|([\d&@#$%]+)|(I'D)
ii. No Break: (?<=.{55}).{15}$
4. Fill with placeholder text, and add a string of capital letters (something that matched the Small Caps grep) somewhere in the middleYou'll notice that the line…

Weight remains on text when exported to pdf even if changed to zero.
I am using InDesign CC 2019 14.01 x64.
Once a stroke weight has been added, if you then change the stroke weight back to zero, then when you export to pdf the pdf will have a stroke weight added to the text, even though the indesign document looks correct. It may not have the original amount of weight that was added, but it will definitely have what looks to be around a .2 weight added.
However, if you were to start a new document, then add stroke weight, then click edit - undo stroke weight, then it would export to…

Warnhinweis "Dokument wurde außerhalb des Buches bearbeitet"
Wird eine Buchdatei bearbeitet und geschlossen ohne das das Fenster Buch geöffnet ist, wird das Dokument mit dem Warnhinweis "Dokument wurde außerhalb des Buches bearbeitet" markiert.
Dieser Fehler tritt nicht auf, wenn das Fenster Buch beim Schließen oder Speichern geöffnet bzw. angezeigt wird.
Es ist kein Grund für dieses Verhalten zu erkennen. In den letzten ID Versionen trat dieser Effekt nicht auf.8 votesThanks for reporting the issue. We will review it.

InDesign, latest version. GREP: find period (.) character followed by endnote reference number. Should be (\.)(~U) but doesn't seem to work.
GREP: find period (.) character followed by endnote reference number. Should be (.)(~U) but doesn't seem to work.
12 votesThanks for reporting the issue. As confirmed from you all, the crash issue is not happening with latest InDesign build. The only remaining issue is that of Grep not working when a period is followed by an endnote marker
We will look into the issue shortly.

The custom baseline grid is not working at all if a table's text frame is rotated.

Shortcut for duplicate in InDesign doesn't work on MacBook Pro
The keyboard shortcut for Duplicate (option+command+shift+D) in Indesign 14.0.1 doesn't work on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.14.3).
The work around is to either Alt+Drag or to select the item, select the Edit Menu and then hit the shortcut.6 votesThanks for reporting this issue. We’re currently reviewing this.

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…

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.

Printing seems to change a document
When the only thing done is printing an InDesign document, the app acts if there were any changes made: when closing, it asks wheter to save the changes.
This is very confusing, since it makes the user think something was changed by accident. Please make InDesign close the document without the save dialog, if nothing was changed.3 votesThanks for reporting the issue.

Paragraph shading not aligned in justified text when optical alignment is on
If optical margin alignment (story) is ON the paragraph shading doesn't align on the right margin of justified text. hyphens seem to push the edge of the shading out. This is in build 13.1.1 but is also reported in 15.0.0.155. I cannot update to the newest version without buying a new computer—so I won't be anytime soon or maybe ever. So I hope that the bug would get fixed retroactively. My original post is here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/paragraph-shading-text-width-not-justifying/m-p/10750103#M164426
