InDesign 2020
InDesign is shutting down my palettes. So everytime i close out a document, my pallette set up disappears. Every. Time. I have to set up my pallettes every time and it is super frustrating. Is there a way (that I don't know) to keep my pallettes set up the way i want all the time? Also I am not touching tab, either.
Also, why is there not a mobile InDesign App for ipad?

"Fit frame to content" doesn't work anymore after a lot of pages in file
Working on a catalogue, a lot of files in a book. The "fit frame to content" works good until after a lot of pages (I think after 50 or 60 pages) suddenly it doesn't work anymore. With a textframe & also tableframe. But with an image it still works...
Also very change, when you split the textframe in for example 2, on the second textframe it will work (fit frame to content).
All the fit options don't work for text & tableframes.
The right-click and choose the option don't work and also the shortcut doesn't work.2 other colleagues have…

In a pixel-dimensioned InDesign document the pixels are always magnetic. There is no option like in Illustrator to deselect 'magnetic pixels
In all version of InDesign, as far as I can remember, pixel dimensioned documents have magnetic pixels. In Illustrator there is an option to deselect magnetic pixels. In InDesign it fails. At least, I think. And the technical assistant from Adobe thinks so.
For instance: if you try to draw a rectangle 3.4 x 4.2 pixels, you can not.1 vote -

primary text frames threading is not honored on document pages
- Adobe InDesign 15.0.1 x64 (Windows 10)
- Facing pages document. I create a master page that includes two text frames per page--creating a two column spread on each page. I designate the leftmost frame as the primary text frame, and then manually link it to the frame just to its right. That frame is then linked to the leftmost frame on the right side page, and that one is linked to the frame furthest to the right. So the frames are linked, from left to right: frame 1 is primary, which is linked to frame 2, then to frame 3 (on…

"Edit Page Size" drop down list; each entry duplicated
When using the "Edit Page Size" button/drop down on the Pages panel, the list of page sizes has begin showing duplicate entries, and I'm not sure why. It seems to have started out of nowhere.
To select an item in the list, you can see in the screenshot that each entry is doubled, and sometimes the "top" item is the correct one to click, other times it is the "bottom" item. In each pairing, one of them does nothing when selected.
I've attached an image to show what I mean.3 votes -
Wrong translation of "Art" in German version of InDesign 2020
In prior versions of InDesign one import option for AI and PDF files used to be "Objekt" which is still used in the online help document while InDesign shows probably the original English word "Art" which is confusing since this word also exists in German language but makes no sense in this context.

Duplicating pages moves content
It seems duplicating pages in Indesign 2019 or 2020 moves content around the page. This is the first time I have experienced this after opening an old file, saving it as a new file and then trying to duplicate a page. The fix I found for this is to UNTICK 'Adjust layout' in the 'Layout/Margins and Columns' dialogue box and then try duplicating the page again. This time the content should not move. Definitely an adjust layout bug.

Okay, so apparently I have run into an issue, that many have experienced before me. After an update of InDesign, fonts are not working, although installed.

"Load paragraph styles" changes CMYK numbers
Version 15.0.1, Windows. (Tested with some previous versions also.)
Steps to reproduce:
First: I'm using "Europe General Purpose 3" colour settings, which should, in general, preserve CMYK numbers during workflows.
Create a new document A.indd. Define a new CMYK swatch S (for example, C50-M0-Y0-K0). Define a new paragraph style P which uses S as character colour.
Create another document B.indd. Assign it some different CMYK profile than A.indd has assigned.
Use "Load Paragraph Styles" to copy style P from A.indd to B.indd.Expected result:
In B.indd, I expect to have swatch S with exact the same CMYK numbers than in…

Dynamic Spelling not working with Case Sensitive words
InDesign version 2020 15.0.1
We researched how to use Dynamic Spelling to pick up words that should have Title Case, but are lowercase in the document, followed their steps and the result doesn't work.
The words we added in the dictionary with Capital letters, don't get highlighted with dynamic spelling.
Also when we add our own dictionary, InDesign defaults back to User Dictionary.1 vote -

Jpeg exported by Indesign have wrong dimensions when combined into PDF in Acrobat
A company needs to export Indesign documents in jpeg format. The jpeg files produced must be combined into a single PDF file. The problem is that the produced PDF does not maintain the original dimensions of the Indesign file.
The same files opened and saved again by Photoshop, instead, produce PDFs with correct dimensions when processed by Acrobat.
Instead of 480.00 x 330.00 mm, the file appears to have the dimensions of 1,999.99x1,374.8 mm.
It should be noted that by exporting the files in PNG format, the problem does not occur.

Can not open new document or a new file I'm working on.
It happens once in a while. It has no connection to corrupted files.
The Indesign is open, but the document it self doesn't show! Also if I ask to open a new document.
Tried Relaunching, Tried Updating to Version.
It all seems to work as a VOODOO ... Very annoying!
