Round corner appearance from InDesign 2018 file is changing, when open it on InDesign 2020 version
We are moving from InDesign 2018 to InDesign 2020 version.
Expecting that all previous files created in InDesign 2018 version should open correctly in later version without any design or font changes.
We found an issue on Corner radius for Rectangular box. Changing the corner radius appearance when file opened in InDesign 2020, though showing same Corner radius settings both InDesign versions (see screenshots).
Need a fix to open the files correctly in InDesign 2020 version also, without manual changing, as hundreds of files created previously with different corner radius.2 votes -

Edge smoothing in Indesign 16.3.2 creates lines where there should be none!
Something that is extremely annoying and obstructive when designing. This was once different and better!
No matter if e.g. black or dark frames with white "narrow - narrow" outline or areas that cover others, hairlines appear everywhere where there shouldn't be any.
I don't know with which update this has crept in. But it nevt infinitely and it was no improvement.
The only way to get rid of these lines is to disable edge smoothing completely. But then you have a pixelated view with the charm of the 80s. So this is not an alternative either!

New Document UI Bug - Spec Tabbing
When creating a New Document...
After you type your Width and hit the tab button it should always toggle next to Height, NOT toggle to Units. This is a UI bug that has come and gone numerous times over the years. I can not conceive of any situation a designer who is working quickly would ever decide to adjust their Units after they have put in their Width specs.Please correct this.... again

CC2021: Alternate text for hyperlinks
I am reposting this from https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38972206-cc2020-alternate-text-for-hyperlinks
Because despite Adobe's claim it is STILL NOT FIXED IN 2021 16.2.1
"In CC2020 a new function for writing alternate text for links was introduced.
Using this function and generating a PDF Leeds to wrong PDF notation. The alt text in PDF is presented by alt text, which is forbidden in the PDF world, where alt text only should be used for non text elements, e.g. pictures. By presenting only the alt text the accessibility is lost – this is against the goal to hav a better output!A correct output would lead to…

Can't drag & drop elements into CC Libraries panel
In the latest version (16.3.2), drag and drop of a graphic on to the CC Libraries panel no longer works - is broken. I have to use the "Add elements" + button instead.
I've quit and restarted InDesign, I've restarted my Mac. No change.

Black horizontal lines appear on screen when scrolling
When I expand the Indesign window to fill 90% of my 27" screen, I get numerous black horizontal lines appearing when scrolling. Other editing functions typical when handling type on a layout also produce random broken lines. If I click a page forward or back arrow, the lines disappear. I was first using v16.2 and just upgraded to 16.3.2 today with same results. Just discovered I have to reduce the widow size to about 75% of my screen size for the lines to not appear at all. Never had this happen on previous versions and need almost full screen width…

Problem with *.wmf files in InDesign 16.3
I've got a file with many equations created in MathType, exported as *.wmf files and placed in Adobe In Design. Until today everything was fine.

magnification copy
Indesign 16.2.1 x64
If I select some text to copy, then change the magnification, then Ctrl+C, move the curser to a new point in the text and Ctrl+V, it pastes the magnification, not the text.
Not a major problem, but one has to ask "why?". I expected it to copy the text, not the workspace.1 vote -
footnotes bug
How do I get footnote #1 in my screenshot to show up with footnotes #2 and #3 at the bottom of the page. For the life of me, I cannot find a setting that makes this possible. Thank you in advance.
