For text frames with inset spacing and shaped corners, the text frame can auto-size to be much wider than the actual text
InDesign: 15.0.1 x64
Creative Cloud: 5.1.0.407This behavior varies depending on the combination of:
- typeface
- font size
- corner size
- inset spacing
- actual text contents in text framePut a few words in a text frame, and keep the text frame selected. I can trigger this easily with Minion Pro, Roboto, and Inconsolata.
In Object -> Text Frame Options:
- In the General section, set Inset Spacing to some nonzero value.
- In the Auto-Size section, set Auto-Sizing to Height and Width, and enable No Line Breaks.
Select the text frame with the Selection Tool. Set the corners…

can't delete all OR multiple missing links at once?
break, remove, delete all OR multiple missing links at once? I thought it used to be able to do this -- I can't find it anywhere in 2019 or 2020.
If not, why the heck not? It's obviously a useful feature. And I can't find anything anywhere using multiple search engines.
and NO I do not want to watch a video that may or may not answer the problem -- I want to scan a page of text & images to see if it is relevant since no titles appear -- they're all about updating or repairing.

Modifier keys for transform not working
Transforming a selection normally can be influenced by holding down Shift and/or Command to respectively Constrain Rroportions and choose to Scale from center.
But in InDesign 2020 on Mac OS Catalina this stopped working. Maybe due to a system setting (no antivirus is active at the moment).
Does anyone know how to get back this essential functionality?

Live Preflight reporting a false error in linked indesign docs
Because of a crazy proofing process, when I put together a magazine, I create all the stories in individual indesign docs and then place the indesign doc into a "main" doc when they are finished. Preflight is flagging every placed indesign doc as having low resolution photos. When I open that doc to fix the issue, all the images are the correct high resolution and nothing is flagged in their preflight. Im worried Im going to miss a real issue.

Crash when "fitting frame to content" on an inline-anchored textframe (inline or above line)
Hi,
Last week i noticed that InDesign crashes when I fit the textframe to its contents, when that textframe is anchored as "text" inside another textframe (anchor-option: incline or above line) when it is not separated by paragraph breaks or whitespaces.I have a file that has one textframe for the main column. In it I placed several smaller textframes with more than one column as textelements.
I didn't separate them by a space or linebreak. When fitting one of the smaller frames to its content by double clicking the lower reference point in the middle to get rid of…5 votesThank you for reporting this issue.

Freeze after using default New Hyperlink to URL
(I didn't see a category for Freeze. I figure Crash is pretty close.)
In InDesign 15.0.3 on Windows 10:
I had just finished inserting a hyperlink by selecting Chess.com, bringing up the New Hyperlink panel (with the 'To URL' option up), and pressing Enter.
After waiting 15 minutes, it was still hung.
It was the only app running.
When I right-clicked on the InDesign icon on the taskbar and clicked 'Close window', a dialog box popped up saying, "Save changes to the Adobe InDesign document "16 - Glossary.indd" before closing?
I clicked 'Yes'.
It closed that dialog box and popped…1 voteClosed: Not Reproducible ·AdminSanyam Talwar (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

Problem with changing the cursor to text - Indd 2020
Hello. After running the latest version of InDesign CC 2020 v. 15.03. x64, I have a problem with changing the cursor to text and to back. It takes about 40-50 seconds. This happens each time you launch InDesign. The size of the processed file does not affect the error. Thanks for feedback.

Text disappears after hitting 'Accept' in PDF comments
ID 15.0.3
Just started getting our client to use PDF Comments (instead of printing, writing on, then B&W scanning, then emailing back), I've imported the comments, then hit 'Accept' over the text amends he's made, the text then deletes/disappears. There's no styling or rules or anything else applied, it's just straight text.
Screen shot had 4 price points on, but after hitting accept, it's gone. If I change the price manually and leave any original text (to see what happens) such as the $ symbol, then hit 'Accept', the manually altered text stays, but the $ disappears.
