No Font Spacing Between Words in InDesign 2019 14.0.x-2 on Mojave 10.14.x-4, Works fine in InDesign 2014 (v10.0.70) on Yosemite (10.10.5)
Posted it here too: https://forums.adobe.com/message/11049072#11049072
So, we've had this issue on our new MacBook Pro running macOS Mojave v10.14.4 ever since last year in August when we were on High Sierra (what came with the Mac).
Basically, InDesign is unusable with Gujarati Sangam MN on the 2019 version but on 2014 (v10.0.0.70) version on my old Mac (OS X Yosemite, v10.10.5) it works fine.
What's causing this issue?
We've tried the following:
Contacted Adobe & Apple support: Apple said to contact Adobe, Adobe was unhelpful, they suggested we look up if the font was installed it it is on the…

Fonts menu selection doesn't work well (it skips some fonts randomly)
On a 2011 27" iMac 3,1 Ghz with SSD drive, with the last High Sierra and InDesign CC 2019 (14.0.2) versions, the fonts selection menu doesn't work well. Please see attached video. This is really annoying because it seems to happen randomly. Thanks for your help. Regards.

Placed Illustrator files do not show transparency correctly on GPU Preview
When placing an .ai file with transparency, the file renders without any alpha channel at all in GPU Preview. Switch to CPU Preview, and the .ai files render correctly. Transparency should be shown in both modes, right?

3 types of consistent crashes during past 3 months
Using version 14.0.2 x64 under Windows 10.
Working on a 356-page book. Three types of crashes occur consistently:
1 - When I export to PDF.
2 - When I add pages, usually in increments of 10.
3 - When I switch between single-page layout and 2-page spread layout.After every crash, when I go to open the file, inDesign offers to auto recover the file. When I say yes, InDesign warns me that the file might be corrupt. I always open anyway. After 3 months working on this book, I can't afford to start over, so I hope for the…

Italics not showing in InDesign CC2019 - but does in all other versions
I have a .docx file that when brought into InDesign CC2019 (14.0.2) the italics do not show. The italics show in all other versions of InDesign. This is worrying for when we work on long documents. The error still occurs if the file is changed to a .doc file.
1 voteHi,
Can you please tell me what part of text in the word file is not imported as italics in Indesign?
The italics portion in the word file are:
Australian Book Review
H-France Review
je ne sais quoiall of which are imported as italics in InDesign
Can you tell me what am i missing?
Thanks

Pasted text acquires overprint attribute
Copying a number of items from one document to another, all of the text that did not have an outline had its overprint attribute turned on, despite being off in the source file. It was particularly annoying to fix because most of the text was white (Paper swatch), for which the overprint setting is uneditable: I had to turn all the white text to a different colour, uncheck the overprint, then make it white again. (Using InDesign v14.0.2 on Mac OS v10.12.6.)
IMO there should never be a reason to overprint items using the Paper swatch anyway, so this attribute…

ID 14.0.2: Fonts menu STILL collapses while browsing through the list of fonts.
Despite upgrading to ID 14.0.2, the same bug happens as described there: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/35736199-typekit-or-adobe-fonts-or-fonts-menu-collapses-w
The bug happens with my personnal font collection. So far I haven't used TypeKit. I'm using FontXplorer 6.0.6. Last High Sierra version on a iMac 3,1 Ghz Late 2011.
On top of that, the font selection tool skips some fonts while browsing the fontlist.
This is an ABSOLUTE nightmare.
Thanks for your help.

InCopy becomes very slow when a cross-linked document is closed
InCopy 14.4, MacOS Mojave 10.14.4
I work on an InCopy document that was assigned to me from InDesign. I want to create a cross reference to another document. Hereto I open that document, check out the content, switch back to my working document and create the references.
After this I close the referred document and this freezes InCopy. What I see is that the CC-synchronization starts to blink constantly in my top bar. Every mouse click or cursor movement takes appr. 45 seconds to take effect.
This is unworkable.1 vote -
Некорректно работает пробная версия
При запуске Indesign вылазит окошко с активацией пробной 7-дневной версии, после ее активации данное окно не пропадает и появляется на экране каждые 10 секунд. Что-либо редактировать в файле не получается. Помимо этого это окно с активацией еще и тормозит, какой смысл давать пользоваться демо-версией 7 дней, если она работает неправильно?

Updating to Mac OSX Mojave, Indesign now behaving slow and shortcut make new document does not work anymore
Drawing a box, moving it around etc is now a kind of laggy. Moves but slow and kind of stuttering.
The GUI overall, menus etc, behaves a bit slower as well. Not much but not as quick and responsive at it was in Sierra.
Have tried de-activating GPU but that has no difference at all.
I have the latest version, 14.0.2.
Updated to Mojave because the Adobe chat support suggested that would help out some other issues I have had.
One reason was that command + new shortcut stopped working. And now it stopped working again...Same thing happens in…

Text selection selects whole document AND cursor jumps to top of document after saving
InCopy 14.0. MacOs Mojave 10.14.4
I work in a icml-document which was assigned to me from InDesign. It contains references to other documents and a lot of comments (for the designer).
After I have made the third or later comment, it becomes impossible to select text. InCopy selects the text from the top of the document upto the point where I click the mouse. When I try Option+Shift+Arrow, the cursor jumps to the top of the document. I can save the document, after which the issue is away until I have made a few extra comments, but which also puts…1 vote
