[Windows] InDesign/InCopy CC2018 is crashing on document close (icml file with anchored pdf file)
InDesign/InCopy CC2018 have an issue with PDF (and probably AI) files used as anchors in text frames when the Display Performance/Vector Graphics option is set to High Resolution.
Steps to reproduce:
As I'm unable to attach a zip file in here (why?) here's the link to the example:
https://adobe.ly/2Uc2pcN- Start InDesign/InCopy (with settings/cache cleared)
- Menu: Edit -> Preferences -> Display Performance -> Adjust View Settings -> Vector Graphics [set to: High Resolution]
- Open "crash-example.idml" file.
- Select "Update Links" in the dialog (if asked)
- Replace crash-example.icml file with a file found in "replace-file-1" folder
- Update Content of the text frame (menu…

Easier automatic page numbering
Make it easier to create automatic page numbering in InDesign. I would not have remembered to select the text frame, then navigate to TYPE > INSERT SPECIAL CHARACTERS > MARKERS > CURRENT PAGE NUMBER if it weren't for Google. This feature should not be an obscure tool, and should not be buried in panels. I feel like this feature should at least be in the Master Page Panel's drop down options (from the hamburger).

indesign cursor lag
My cursor is lagging while passing over portions of the Layers Panel specifically.
I'm working on a Macbook Pro, with a BenQ GW2765 external monitor.
The issue only happens while InDesign is on the external monitor, and it works fine while on the macbook pro.
I've attached a video sample of the issue in action.5 votesWe have identified that this occurs when you connect your Macbook Pro with an external monitor using the older, obsolete Apple adapter.
On using the newer, updated model of the Apple adapter, this issue does not occur. Many of our users have confirmed this.
Please share what hardware you’re using to connect the external monitor to your MBP.

proportional scaling and Opt + drag copy feature not working
Some, but not all, shift and option key functionality not working. I've tried both the Webroot SecureAnywhere fix (don't have this on my computer) and the keyboard unicode fix. Neither have helped. it's also inconsistent. it was working fine last night at home but not working this morning in my office.

New document dialog is extremly slow
If I want to create a new document the dialog news at least 10 sec to open. After that I can set my defaults but when I click the »create«-button it takes another 10 to 20 sec until the new document is created. The fans are blowing like ****.

find/change search selection changes randomly
ID 14.0.2
I use certain Find/Change queries repeatedly.
The queries are saved with the SEARCH option set to SELECTION.
Normally I select a portion of text and run the F/C query to automatically make changes.
Recently however, the query is sometimes applied to the WHOLE DOCUMENT.
I haven't found a pattern, but maybe once out of every 4 tries. It seems it randomly defaults to SEARCH=DOCUMENT, instead of the way the query was saved.Hope I have described it clearly enough...

Superscript numers will not carry over from mounted Excel-file
When placing a link to excelfiles that has a cell with superscript numbers the superscripted number will not carry over to the Indesign document. For instance 1234[2] will just show 1234 in Indesign.

Interactive fields - FontSize too small when populated from Database
Dear sir or madam,
we've updated our InDesign from Version 13.x to 14.0.2. Now we encountered a problem with our interactive fields. The fontsize in our generated interactive PDFs is extremely small when populated with values out of our database. In contrast the fontsize is normal when the interactive textboxes are filled manually inside Adobe Reader.
When we export an interactive PDF from our same source-InDesign file, the problem occurs only with the export from InDesign 14.0.2. No fields or any settings were changed.
We're using iTextSharp for populating the interactive "AcroFields".

Still not fixed—GREP search fails to find all the matching instances in long documents
An Adobe Indesign CC 2019 (version 14.0.2) file has fewer than 15K characters. A return, followed by the text “ppp”, appears 27 times in the file. They can all be found using the “Text” version of find, searching for “^ppp”. However, using the “GREP” version of find, searching for “\rppp”, only the last one is found. (I am running MacOS Mojave, version 10.14.5 on a MaxBook Pro, retina, 15 inch, mid 2015).
I followed the purported fix found at https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/search-issue-in-long-documents.html but with no success.
Indesign files are invalid file types for attaching to this bug post; however I have a…

"Add all stories to assignment" doesn't include content of anchored text boxes
1) I'm using InDesign CC 2019 (14.0.2) under MacOS 10.14.6.
2) - Open an INDD document with various text boxes
- Execute Edit -> InCopy -> Add All Stories to Assignment
3) I would expect this command to include also the content of text boxes that are anchored to other text boxes.
4) However, it doesn't. The content of such text boxes is missing. However, when I go through the document and release all anchored text boxes before executing the command, it will work properly
5) I'd love to attach an indd or idml test file but these file types…1 vote -

When you remove a part of a grouped object, the rest of the object moves to another layer, even when that's locked!

Nested Line Styles interfere with Grep Styles
I'm experiencing a bug where Nested Line Styles are interfering with Grep Styles.
To reproduce:
1. Create a Character Style "Small Caps" that only applies OpenType All Small Caps.
2. Create a Character Style "No Break" that only applies the No Break rule.
3. Create a Paragraph Style "Test":
a. In Nested Styles, add Small Caps for 1 line
b. In Grep Styles, add:
i. Small Caps: ([\u\d&@#\$%/]{2,}(?!\l{2,}))|([\d&@#$%]+)|(I'D)
ii. No Break: (?<=.{55}).{15}$
4. Fill with placeholder text, and add a string of capital letters (something that matched the Small Caps grep) somewhere in the middleYou'll notice that the line…

when I place an A3 illustrator file into in-design A4 it scales down the content. The content should stay the same size
when I place an A3 illustrator file into in-design A4 it scales down the content. The content should stay the same size as it does if I place it into an A3 in-design document. Is this a bug or can I stop the scaling down?

Font menu on the Control bar - using the keyboard to replace missing fonts fails
If you attempt to use the keyboard to amend the missing [square bracketed] font in a given instance, by typing the name, using the cursor keys to select and then pressing enter to confirm, it reverts back to the missing font; rather than the normal behaviour (when a font isn't missing) of designating the font/weight chosen.
