1. Crash when generating Table of Contents

   Right what it says on the tin: When I try to generate a Table of Contents from a large Book file (about 14 chapters, maybe 180ish pages total) , InDesign abruptly crashes.

2. 0 on numeric keypad not working like it should.

   0 on numeric keypad not working like it should. the 0 button above letter keys works properly and so do the numbers 1-9 on the numeric keypad on the right works just fine. I tested the "0" button on other applications and browser to make sure the button physically works and it does. I even tested in adobe Illustrator,

3. Bug with 'based on' paragraph styles: selected style doesn't appear to be 'selected' after mouse over

   I have some Indesign documents (CC 2019 and CC 2020, version doesn't matter) where I have a lot (+ 300) of paragraph styles. Most par styles are based on other styles. I can see the name of the style another par style is based on in the dialogue window 'paragraph styles options'.

   All my styles are placed in style groups, according to levels.
   Within these groups, there are a lot of styles that have the same names as styles in another group. So for instance, I have some 30 styles that are called 'p'. Renaming is in my case no option.

   When I want to see on which 'p' style another par style is based, I click on the name 'p' and it shows a light grey 'p' style when it is on top of the list, but not when it is almost at the end of a very long list.
   Also, when you mouse over in the par styles names-panel, the shading of the 'based on' style will disappear. So it is almost impossible to determine on what style 'p' it is based on.

   Solution: give the par style that is used as the 'based on' par style a more destinctive shading color, and also don't remove the shading once moused over any other par style name until you click on another par style name.

   PS: the selection of the style 'paginanummer' is after mousing over, not clicking

   Non Breaking Space is smaller than regular space when text is full justified with Adobe World ready Paragraph Composer

   1. Steps to reproduce the issues
      2.1 Create a paragraph with some lines
      2.2. Define it with: Paragraph pannel>Justification>Composer>Adobe World Ready Paragraph Composer
      2.3 Full justify the Paragraph and change one space to non breaking space.

   2. Expected result
      Non breaking space should be the same width like all the spaces in the same line.

   3. Actual result

   4. Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)

   There is no workaround unless the document is not in Hebrew and then you can choose the Adobe paragraph Composer instead of the World ready Paragraph composer.

7. InDesign 2020 Middle Eastern, Arabic language causes reversed numbers order

   When working with Arabic and wanting to have Roman Digits, one needs to choose the "Arabic" digits option.
   More option that should be set for Arabic are:
   Character direction should be set to "default"
   Paragraph direction should be set to "Right to Left"
   Paragraph composer should be set to "Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer"
   Language should be set to "Arabic"
   Ligatures should be "On"

   BUT
   If I type a date that suppose to be presented like this:
   9/1/2020
   as soon as selecting "Arabic" for language the order is reversed to this:
   2020/1/9

   As digits has a built in Left to Right direction, all neutral characters between the numbers should get the same definition. This is how it worked until the 2020 update.
   Now it looks that all the "/" characters where not effected by the numbers direction and remained Right to Left direction.

   Mac Pro (Late 2013)
Software OS X 10.14.6 (18G2022)
Processor 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
Memory 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC

9. Anchored textframe with auto-sizing/auto-adjusting "height" causes InDesign 2020 to freeze

   Anchored textframe with auto-sizing/auto-adjusting "height", text aligned to baseline and anchored object settings "anchored position: custom", "anchorPoint: bottom left/center/right" causes InDesign 2020 (15.0.1) to freeze (on Mac and PC).

   1. create an new document (size doesn't matter)
   2. create an new textframe (dimensions doesn't matter)
   3. create a second textframe (dimensions doesn't matter)
   4. insert some text in second generated textframe
   5. select the text and apply the option "align to baseline".
   6. anchor second textframe into the first created textframe
   7. set anchored object settings of the anchored textframe to: "anchored position: custom" and "anchorPoint: bottom left or bottom center or bottom right"

   8. select the anchored textframe

   9. choose the textframe fit option "frame to content" or use the shortcut "strg + alt + c" on PC

   InDesign 2020 freezes.

   or repeat steps 1. to 8. and choose auto-sizing type "height" or "height and width" or "height and width proportionally" for the anchored textframe

   InDesign 2020 freezes.

   see attached screenshot. I can't attach a .indd or .idml file cause this is not allowed (error: invalid file type)

   In previous versions (CC 2018, CC 2019) auto-adjusting "height" works as expected

10. IDML: missing Font Style property in Character Style after export

    Version: InDesign CC 2020 15.0.1

    How to reproduce the bug:
    1. Create a Character Style with "Bold" Font Style and apply it to a word/character range
    2. Save in INDD file format
    3. Export the IDML
    4. Open the IDML and you will notice that the bold property for the Character Style was lost

    Expected result: the Character Style should be the same as in the original INDD file

    Actual result: the "bold" property was lost during the export process. The INDD file is fine.

    I verified that InDesign CC 2019 14.0.3 is not affected by this bug.

11. enableRedraw = false ignored during script run

    During a loop to load text snippets to my page ID 2020 ignores the fact that enableRedraw=false and DOES redraw the page on every loop

    app.scriptPreferences.enableRedraw = false;

        do {
            app.doScript(insertTexts2, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Insert Texts " + C2Place + ":" + V2Place);
        } while (libs[8][3].geometricBounds[0] < pageTextBottom);
        app.scriptPreferences.enableRedraw = true;
    

    The text is inserted into 8 different frames -- during the loop it SHOULDN'T redraw the page -- but it does (slowing the script down)

12. Save functions unavailable

    I'm using a Mac and running Catalina, have ID 2020. Yesterday, an existing file of 33 pages stopped allowing me to save it. I had no idea it wasn't saving and lost hours worth of work by the time I realized what was happening. I tried starting a new document and pasting the text into it, but same problem. I started a new document again and it allowed me to save immediately, but the second I dropped in text (different text this time), I lost the ability to save the file. I can export to PDF or IDML, but cannot simply save the file.

13. CC2020 missing text upon export to pdf - significant loss of functionality

    A document exported to PDF from Indesign CC2020 fails to export the character U+06DD. There is a blank space instead. The only work around is to save as IDML and open and export with Indesign CC2019. CC2019 works just fine. Export choice (PDFx 3 or 1 or etc) does not matter. There is no difference between the two attached files. I exported the 01GEN CC2020.pdf first from Indesign CC2020 and you can see that the character is invisible (but still there). Then I saved the file to IDML, opened it with CC2019, and exported it without any edits. You can see the character clearly

14. Exporting from Indesign. Default format is ALWAYS IDML

    we are constantly exporting PDF's from Indesign to place in layouts. The last couple of updates, Indesign insists on having IDML as the default choice. It used to be once you export a PDF, the rest would default to the same format, but now Indesign just defaults to IDML every time & it is infuriating to open the folder that shud B full of PDF's and find one PDF & the rest IDML :>(

15. Cross-references in a table breaks when moving table-cell.

    When moving a table-cell that contains a cross-reference, it breaks and becomes a ”red flag”. What happens is that a text-anchor gets a "1" added to its name. A paragraph anchor just breaks.

18. Glyphs automatically replaced with indesign 15.0.1 update

    After updating to version 15.0.1 indesign replaced automatically one of the glyphs of the Source Sans Pro font.
    If the same file is openend with a previous version of indesign, glyph returns to its original appearance.

19. Add option to allow non-rounded inset text inside a text box with rounded corners.

    Please add an option to allow inset spacing on a text box with rounded corners to follow the rectangular shape of the box, rather than the shape of the rounded corners.

    ie. Make it act like the example on the left of my image, rather than like the right, which is the current behaviour.

20. Adobe Fonts not activating

    When I need to activate a font from Adobe Fonts directly from Find Font context menu inside InDesign, it keeps loading indefinitely but never actually activates.

    The only solution is going to Adobe Fonts web page and activate it there.

    Screenshot attached.
