1. Adding htmlItem then closing document crashes inDesign on Mac

   We are developping a plugin for inDesign and while testing a new feature on a Mac we noticed that sometimes InDesign was crashing. We managed to reproduce this bug in a very simple indesign script that make inDesign crash 100% of the time and I'm looking for a way to get around this inDesign bug.

   The crash occurs when we programatically add an htmlItem to a pageItem then close the document too quicky, It's only on Mac, doing that on windows works perfectly. The crash error seems to be a memory usage problem on inDesign's side.

   Here is the script code :

   var document = app.activeDocument;
   
   var sourcePageItem = document.allPageItems[0];

   sourcePageItem.htmlItems.add(
   
   document.activeLayer,
   
   LocationOptions.AT_END,
   
   sourcePageItem,
   
   {
   
   geometricBounds: sourcePageItem.geometricBounds,
   
   htmlContent: '<b>Hello</b>',
   
   }
   
   );

   document.close(SaveOptions.NO);

   other observations :

   -Doing a sourcePageItem.htmlItems[0].remove(); to remove the htmlItem after adding it doesn't change anything, so the problem comes from using the function htmlItems.add() and not having an htmlItem in the document.
   -Delaying the close by using $.sleep(5000) before fix the crash, but we can't rely on it as the delay needed increase with the number of htmlItems added and it might be different from a computer to another due to performances.
   -Saving the document or not doesn't change anything

   I've added my clean document with just a rectangle frame, the script and the crash report on this url : https://we.tl/t-uFpX658s0o since we can't add an indeed file to the post

   If there is no way to fix it, do you have an idea to get around this inDesign bug ?

2. windows 10 - paste number from clipboard history into X/Y-object coordinates

   How to repeat the issue:

   1. Activate Clipboard history in windows settings (win 10)
   2. Copy a random number to your clipboard (my testnumber "-2,375")
   3. Create a new document and place a rectangle (or random object) on your page
   4. Select the object and click (focus) in the field for the y-coordinates
   5. hit "windows+V" to open your clipboard history (must be activated in the settings)
   6. Click on your previous copied number.

   6-Bug. The number has been pasted two times in the y-coordinates field.

   Test system:
   - Win 10 pro (1809)
   - current Indesign CC version (how to check the actual version?)

   By the way, if you try the clipboard history in a text field in inDesign, it works totally fine.

   Thanks for your help.

3. Keyboard shortcuts to change case not working on Windows

   Keyboard shortcuts to change case of lines of text is no longer working. Apart from Alt-T to get up the text menu, I'm now having to use the mouse to select the further options to change to Title case. The sequence Alt-T-E-T, no longer works. As I frequently have many entries which need unifying each time I use it, this once useful feature is sorely missing. Please can you fix it Adobe?

4. Tabs in Arabic text move weight declaration to the wrong place

   When placing an Arabic weight statement (e.g. "13g") followed by a tab and a percentage (e.g. "19%"), the weight declaration ("g" or "mg") moves to the percentage when exporting to pdf. Only when setting PDFX/1a:2001 is selected the output is correct. But this setting removes all layers and flattens transparencies so it's not very useful.
   A workaround is to place a space after the tab (so on the left side since this is a right to left language).
   See screen shot in attachment. On top = InDesign file, bottom = pdf created from this file using PDFX/4. The top line in the Indesign file has no space after the tab, resulting in a wrong placement of the "غ" (= Arabic "g") as marked red in the screen shot.

6. Anchored Object Lock/Prevent Manual Position Override

   The Prevent Manual Positioning creates a Locked Object, but unlocking the widget doesn't remove the Prevent manual override.

   When you check to "Prevent Manual Override" an anchored object receives a lock adornment. An object Style can be created from this object. If that lock is unlocked the Object style shows as override, but the "Prevent Manual Override" is still checked.

   If the object style is redefined. The lock adornment is still unlocked, and the "Prevent Manual Positioning" is still checked. Reapplying the style locks the object.

   There should be more consistent behaviour of "Prevent Manual Positioning" and the "Lock". Even though they are similar they are not the same. If checking "Prevent Manual Positioning" activates the Lock. Unlocking should also uncheck "Prevent Manual Positioning".

7. Import PDF Comments not working correctly for Tables.

   PDF comment import not working accurately on tables

   1. ID 14 Mac
   2. Import PDF comments to layout including simple 2-column tables in which an entire row is marked as deleted/struck through
   3. Expected that the entire row would be deleted upon acceptance of edit via PDF Comments palette
   4. In fact Accepting edit only deletes the contents of the first cell of the row, leaving the orphaned data behind.

9. InDesign opens destination folder when exporting.

   My InDesign opens the destination folder when exporting PDF-files. In my work I export files daily and I have to export them separately. So when I do this, after the export has completed successfully, the destination folder opens up automatically, which is very annoying. I can't seem to find any place, where I can turn this off. I can only turn it ON, if I don't export separately.

   1. brand new update CC 2019
   2. Create a document with more than 2 pages. Export all the pages separately.
   3. That it exports the pages separately into the destination folder without having the need to watch them in that folder (I use Bridge).
   4. It opens the destination folder in a new folder window.

10. export book to pdf slows the mouse respond

    Every time, when I export whole book into PDF file, my mouse starts to move with steps. Everything else is working more or less normally, but moving cursor is almost impossible.

    Cursors respond with huge lag - around 1 sec, and moves in steps, what makes impossible to use the mouse.

11. Export Tagging: ‘i’ character in class name exports as blank space

    I just did the 2018 update, so I think it's the most recent version: 13.0 x64

    I have a document template that contains many character and paragraph styles with export CSS tags that contain the lowercase ‘i’ in them. This character is being exported as a blank space, which completely breaks the CSS, like this:
    should be: <p class="bright"></p>
    getting: <p class="br ght"></p>

    This problem was easily replicated in a fresh new document, so it’s something with InDesign, rather than my template file.

    This workflow involves complex style mapping through to CSS classes. Because so many of the classes contain the character 'i', this problem has brought the workflow to a dead halt.

13. Colors are displayed differently between pages

    InDesign 13.0.1 on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) OS 10.13.3

    Open a CMYK document. Place an sRGB file on page 1. Place the same (or copy) on page 2.

    Expected: the colors on both pages look the same.

    Actual result: With color-proof switched off, the colors on page 1 show as if color-proof turned on while on page 2 the colors show correctly. See screenshots with the same files on 2 pages. I changed nothing I just moved the picture from one page to the other.
    With color-proof turned on all pages look like page 1.

17. Data Merge ignores files when a header field is called 'table'

    If Data Merge tries to select a data source where one of its header fields is called 'table' (all lowercase), it fails to import (InDesign v 13.0.1). It doesn't seem to matter which column it's in, but changing it to anything else (e.g. 'Table' with uppercase 'T') seems to fix it.

    Tried it on 2 machines, same result. Adobe Customer Care on Twitter confirmed they could replicate it and suggested I post it here.

    Short video attached illustrating the issue.

19. Inconsistent Text Wrap across two column layout

    Text wrap is applied inconsistently from column to column, i.e. text will offset by uneven amounts in adjacent columns. This happens for all types of Text Wrap except for the Jump Wrap, which does not misalign the top two lines of text!
    The only fix I could manage was to Force All Lines to the Baseline Grid, and redraw the bottom Text Wrap line unevenly for the two columns. The images attached show first the problem and second the fix.
    I believe this started happening with the introduction of CC versions, but I'm not 100% sure of that timing.

20. InDesign is unusable after the latest update (13.1) with spell checking and hyphenation is set to Hungarian / Winsoft.

    InDesign is unusable after the latest update (13.1) if spell checking and hyphenation is set to Hungarian / Winsoft. All words are underlined as incorrectly spelled, hyphenation dosen't work, InDesign hangs. If I open a documents saved before the update InDesign displays the document, than hangs.
