CS6 won't start because it can not load png import filter.indesign plugin
The start-up screen says: png import filter.indesign plugin requires the debug version indesign.
I have the plug-in installed. So I expected the program to open as always.
I did update to MacOS Mojave 10.14 recently.1 vote -

Renaming an object layer by double-clicking is tedious - sometimes non-responsive
When working with layers, select an object, then double click the name to rename, it takes multiple clicks and a delay of several seconds before the name field becomes editable. Why? I don't see any other way to rename the object layer.

Footnote reference disappears when adding Unicode 1D513 into line
I am using InDesign 14.0.2.
We are a book publisher, and we sometimes use a special character in some of our academic work: a gothic P—the Unicode character 1D513 (Mathematical Fraktur Capital P). See: https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1d513/index.htm
However, it does something very wonky with footnotes, which seems to be a bug. If we insert this character—Unicode 1D513—in the same line as a footnote reference, it makes the footnote reference disappear. The footnote stays in place. We have tried different fonts, but it doesn't seem to be font dependent. However, if it is in the same line, but after the footnote reference, it…

formatted text
- 14.0.2
- importing pdf comments that have bold and italic text in the replacement text
- that it would show as bold or italic in the pdf comment dialog box
- shows all text as none formatted
I can understanding it would be difficult to get that text to change to bold/italic when i click accept, but if i at least saw that it was bold/italic in the preview box i'd know to make that edit manually.

Find/Change bug in Indesign 13.1.1
Text Find/Change seems to have a bug: let's suppose we have 2 paragraph styles, for example a title style and a body text style. In the document I received from our partner sometimes the body paragraphs wear the title style and they were manually overridden to look like the body style. To fix this error I tried to search for texts that has the title style but the font used is that of the body style. Indesign Finds something at the beginning of the body paragraph (a thin cursor-like thing can be seen there: it is the selected something) that…

Export to PDF crashes when Printer's Marks checked on in PDF export window menu (ID 14.02 )
Reoccurring crash from back in February 2019:
When I leave Printer's Marks unchecked, Indesign exports effortlessly.Crashing while exporting to PDF happens with any design, regardless of the contents in the design (RGB, .ai files, etc.)
I have tested it on exporting older designs that have already been sent to print with printer's marks, prior to this issue.
Note: checking or unchecking Bleed and Slug don't interfere – only Printer's Marks do.
(I have mailed all details in the crash report.)

"PUBLISH ONLINE" - DESCRIPTION FEATURE
INDESIGN > PUBLISH ONLINE > GIVEN OPTIONS - Title & description fields = what is the intention behind these options?
My intention to use these would be, to supply additional information within the document/ link to my client, whom I share this link with.
Client opens the document > but the provided information are not displayed anywhere... so what's the point?

Relink to folder and filenames with accents doesn't work
Relink to folder doesn't work for filenames with accents, it just doesn't find such files, but relinking every single file separately (very annoying) works.

Control panels can't be scaled
A couple of days ago I switched from InDesign CS 6 to InDesign CC 2019. I wanted to arrange my working area in the way I had before, but couldn't because the control panels could not be scaled as narrow as before. Because of this I can't fit all needed control panels on my second monitor.
I have contacted support but they could not offer any solution to my problem.

Image catalog script - For creating Contact Sheets
Under Scripts, my image catalog script does not complete the place command to create an image catalog for me. When bug is worked out, I would also like an option to number each image, instead of only placing file names.
To recreate: Create new document, letter size. Open scripts, and run Imagecatalog.applescript. Set rows and columns( doesn't matter, also doesn't matter if labels is checked or unchecked) . Page will populate rectangle boxes, but not graphic frames nor insert images.

Master page effects don't render properly unless overridden.
I have a drop shadow on a Current Page Number marker on my Master page.
On the document pages, the marker renders the correct page number, but the drop shadow is always the character that's rendered on the Master page (In this case, a "B").
Only if I detach the item from the master page will it render properly.4 votes -
Sentence case in styles
Please add a "Sentence Case" to Paragraph Styles. Incredibly the choices are limited to Normal, Small Caps, All Caps, OpenType All Small Caps. When editing a book the subheads are almost always Sentence Case. Why would this not be an option?

Trying to sign out of my personal account and log into the agency account. When I click "sign out" a window pops up and then disappears. I don't get signed out. I cleared cookies and signed out on web- no dice. Think I have to delete and reinstall software just to sign into a different login...

Lao Line Breaking Support
I'm working on a major project using the Lao language and InDesign. The Lao text is not flowing correctly in InDesign. There are addons that provide these features (LaoScript), but there isn't native InDesign support, from what I can tell.
Lao text does not seem to properly word wrap. Many professionals use zero-width-spaces in Lao to create invisible 'spaces' between words so that applications properly word wrap. However, this has significant drawbacks and makes it harder for Lao people to use and edit their language because editing text with invisible characters is difficult (especially on mobile, but PCs as well).

Multiple listings of same font in Find Font menu
There are multiple listings of the same font in the Find Font menu in CC2019. All information is the same, all applied characters are the same, but there is odd behavior.
--FileACC2019WithDocumentsfontsfolder.png shows double listing of Trade Gothic LT Pro Roman.
--FileACC2019WithoutDocumentfontsfolder.png (when I take away access to Document fonts folder, no other changes), one instance switches to "Regular" instead of "Roman"
--FileACC2017WithDocumentfontsfolder.png shows what happens with I open this file in CC2017 (no double listing)
--FileACC2017WithoutDocumentfontsfolder.png (Document fonts folder hidden) shows what happens with I open this file in CC2017 (no…

Accessible PDF Alternative Text Fail When Object Set to Multiply
InDesign 14.0.2
When an object is set to "multiply" in Effects and exported to Interactive PDF, there is a Alternative Text fail reported when running Accessibility Full Check. When the "multiply" effect is removed, there is a clean report. Please fix.
Attached are both the original file (with multiply on) and the PDF generated. If you remove multiply, it works.

Mongolian
Issue: InDesign does not support Mongolian vertical text direction from left-to-right.
Version: InDesign 2019, 14.0.2 x64
Steps:
1. Place or paste Mongolian text into an InDesign text frame by using the attached Word document
2. Skew the text frame 90 degrees (as done with vertical Chinese and Japanese).Expected result: Please see the attached Word document and screenshot.
Actual result: Notice that the vertical text direction is right-to-left and not left-to-right. Even if the text frame is skewed in the opposite direction (minus 90 degrees) the text is just mirrored and thus not readable.
Test files and screenshot: They are…
