1. Deleting a table row containing text crashes InDesign

   Quite simply, deleting a table row with 3 columns and a combination of text and font awesome crashes when using right click -> delete -> row.

   I can replicate the issue every single time across multiple documents.
   The current workaround for me is to delete all the content in the table row then deleting the row seems to be OK.

   Indesign: 15.0.1
   Mac OS: Mojave 10.14.6 (MacBook Pro)
   Note: This didn't happen on InDesign v14.0.3.

   Thanks,
   Aaron

   To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.

   We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding : Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

   We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2020 (if you’re not already on it). It contains a lot of stability fixes.

   If you still face this issue even after updating to the latest version of InDesign, please submit the crash report to us. (The guidelines to submit crash are available at (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html)

2. InDesign CC 2020 - Error trying to package editorial projects

   the last few days Ive been trying to package documents and I keep getting the same error (for whatever editorial project I have) that says "Indesign cannot package the document... Cannot copy necessary linked file(s)" (see printscreen) but all files are properly linked, in CMYK and 300dpi's (as I need them to be - never encounter this issue in over a decade of using Indesign) so Im kinda despairing here since Im on a schedule...
   Does anyone know how to help please??
   Thanks in advance.

4. Windows 10 > Indesign 15.0.1 hidden print window.

   When trying to print on Indesign version 15.0.1, for windows 10, the pop-up windows opens on the back, hidden.

5. Import Word file - cannot set 'Import as Static Text' as Default Preset

   When I import a Word document I want the option 'Import as Static Text' ticked all the time.

   The problem is that if I tick 'Import as Static Text' and make it a new Default Preset, InDesign remembers this until I quit InDesign and then relaunch it. The relaunched InDesign doesn't remember it - it remembers the Preset name, but it doesn't remember to tick 'Import as Static Text'.

   This happens in CC2019 and CC2020. Could you please fix it so that the Preset you make remembers to keep 'Import as Static Text' ticked all the time, even when you quit and relaunch InDesign.

   Cheers
   John

6. Tabbing through values doesn't work on certain panels

   When you press tab on, say the colour palette to input values in CMYK, the tab button instead of highlighting the next field ready for your input instead often places the cursor after the value you wish to amend which is frustrating and slows my workflow down. It's done this for years to be fair.

8. password protection makes it impossible to watch PDF on iOS

   There is a bug in exporting a protected PDF to iOS Adobe Acrobat Reader. If I put a password protection for printing, text editing and content coping in the PDF, the Acrobat Reader on iOS can't show the file. The app crashes or every (!) page needs between 4 and 7 minutes to show up. Within this 4-7 minutes the page is simply grey or white. If I export the same InDesign document without password protection, the iOS Adobe Reader shows it perfectly and normal. As a workaround I exported it without password protection, opened on the Mac in Acrobat Pro, added here the password for editing, printing and coping - same result, it doesn't work. All systems (macOS, iOS, iPadOS as well as the Adobe Reader) are running on most actual versions. Please fix this asap, I need to deliver this file. It may can be also a bug in the iOS Adobe Reader, because Acrobat Pro on the Mac as well as the macOS preview shows it perfectly.

10. 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,

11. 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

    1. Adobe InDesign Middle Eastern Version, 2019-2020

    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
       Non Breaking Space is smaller than regular space in the same line

    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.

15. 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.

Software OS X 10.14.6 (18G2022)
Processor 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5

17. 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

18. 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.

19. 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)

20. 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.
