Exporting Emojis to PDF
Since the latest update, I'm unable to export emojis to PDF. When I export my document to PDF, all emojis have a black square behind it. Is there a way to work around this issue?

Option-Click/Drag to duplicate spread does not work anymore with MacOS 11.0.1 update
- InDesign 15.1.3
- To Duplicate Spreads in Pages Panel — Option-Click/Drag to duplicate spread does not work anymore with MacOS 11.0.1 update. It used to with previous MacOS.
- Expected Result: the grab hand would have a plus sign, then duplicate spread.
- Actual Result: The grab hand operates as "Move" not "Duplicate".
Right/Click Duplicate does, however (but who has that much time? : )
Thank you
InDesign 15.1.3

Fit frame to content not working for text
I recently updated to the newest version of InDesign (v 16.0) and "fit frame to content" is not working properly for any of my text boxes. It is leaving about 0.13in at the top of all of my text, and is making aligning in my layout extremely difficult. I double checked to make sure my baselines are set to 0 and my text boxes are set to Align to top, but nothing seems to be fixing it.

[ID-4260994]The filter in the review panel is automatically changing to "resolved"
This happens very frequently.
I will be going through user comments given online in the Indesign Review tab. As I do them I resolve them. This works fine.
But then suddenly and randomly it will just decide to change my filter to show all resolved! Then all the old issues magically appear in the tab again until I go back to filter and unselect the Resolved button.
Then it happens again. And again. It happens only when I go to change something in the document but it doesn't seem to matter what type of issue i'm doing. Replacing text. Deleting,…

Bug with InDesign 16 Word and Textedit
I noticed a huge performance bug.
When I am working on a book with many pages and switch to an app like Word or Textedit and then back to InDesign, I get a beach ball for 30–60s. Only in InDesign. When I quit Word or Textedit, the beach ball disappears and InDesign runs normal again.
Restart eg. doesn't help!System: Big Sur

Type tool deselects itself InDD 16.0
Type tool deselects itself InDD 16.0
The bug has been already reported, it's been claimed to be fixed a while back, but actually still persists. I personally never had this problem before, but after updating to v16 a few weeks ago I get it now.
Typing "T" just selects the type tool very briefly, then changes back to the previous tool. Clicking inside a text frame has the same result, even if you get to select some part of the text, it just changes back to the previous tool in most of the cases. The only way to get it…

Text Frame Issues
Can't find this so hopefully this is new, but every time I nudge a text box with my arrow keys it ends up somehow shrinking the box or something because I get an arrow saying there's text outside the frame. It's fine... I nudge it once with the arrow key and I get the little red error box in the corner.

Smart guides not working at all
Snap to grid and smart guides or any function where cursor automatically snaps to edge, corner, or center point is not working. I am currently using version 16.0. I have restarted the program 5 times. All of these features are check marked and turned on despite the features not working at all.
I will not work on my project because of this issue. I need to rely on the precise support of smart guides and snap to guides in order to do what I have to do. I'm very disappointed with this bug and upset I'm set back so much…

Interactive pdf export adds %0D to the end of links
InDesign keeps adding %0D%0D to the end of my hyperlinks. I had searched this topic and found a few other forums with a similar problem. I tried other people's suggestions of making sure no spaces or returns were at the end or adding a / to the end of the link, but still nothing worked. I finally gave up on InDesign and just manually added the links in Acrobat after exporting. But that is not a good solution. Please fix this Adobe. My version is 16.0.

Disappearing cursor with Big Sur v11.0.1 and InCopy 2019 v14.0.2
Last month, we had issues with InCopy 2020, so we switched back to the more reliable 2019 version. Now, I (foolishly) updated the Big Sur (version 11.0.1) and now my cursor has disappeared and I have tried every suggestion to no avail (restarting the program, restarting the computer, and trashing InCopy preferences).
I'm running InCopy 2019 (v 14.0.2) on my 2017 iMac Pro, 3.2 GHz 8-core Intel Xeon W, with 64 GB 2666 MHz DDR4.
Any suggestions would be helpful (and by the way, I can't see the cursor in Layout, Story, or Galley mode).
Thank you!
