Text in placed Illustrator object extends out of frame in PDF
I have a map done in Illustrator, saved as an .ai file. This has been placed into InDesign and slightly cropped so that one of the text labels is cut off. When I export this to PDF, the complete line of text shows on the page, extending out past the edge of the frame. The line and shape objects are cropped to the frame though.
The attached PDF shows screenshots illustrating this.
I have had the same thing happen in the same InDesign file (well, the same map template) with a placed InDesign document instead of a placed Illustrator file.

World Ready Paragraph Composer not working for Tibetan
Adobe 2017.1 release, build 12.1.0.56
Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer (AWRPC) for Tibetan fonts does not work in InDesign. While this was not an issue in CS4 since the Adobe Paragraph Composer (APC) was working well for at least two fonts (Jomolhari-ID and SambhotaUnicode), it has become an issue preventing us from using any later versions of InDesign: the APC became unusable for Jomolhari (our main font), and since the AWRPC was never completely working, we are now in a situation where neither APC or AWRPC works… (though SambhotaUnicode still works for APC only).
Jomolhari-ID can be downloaded here: https://collab.its.virginia.edu/access/content/group/26a34146-33a6-48ce-001e-f16ce7908a6a/Tibetan%20fonts/Tibetan%20Unicode%20Fonts/Jomolhari-ID-a3d.zip

"Rolloff" in Animationpanel not working in CC2017 / CC2018 / MAC / WINDOWS
I am working on a diplom project right now, and faced a really annoying bug in InDesign. I want to create a rollover bar, wich slides up when I rollover / hover with my mouse over a certain object. I know without any kind of problems how I am able to create something like this, but my problem is, that the object simply wont return to its destination where it came from, when I rolloff it again, like going away with my mouse. It stays on its place once the animation has been completed, and when I hover over it…
6 votesReverse on Roll Off is a SWF only feature, as pointed out.
We’ll review the feature request to change the label of this option.- InDesign team

Object style size property crashes InDesign when used with Libraries
I have recreated this bug on both Mac and PC InDesign 13.0
- Create a text box
- Insert a table with any number of table cells
- Draw a rectangle anywhere
- Create a new Object Style and set Size and Position Options -> Size -> Adjust: to Height Only
- Apply the Object Style to the rectangle
- Cut and past the rectangle into one of the cells of the table
- Create a new Library file
- Drag the text box into the Library
- Try drag the Library item back out onto the page... It should crash.
This has become very problematic for us because…

clicking when I don't want it it
Very jittery, hyperactive indesign. This is happening in Indesign and Illustrator for me.
Even though I'm only clicking once, Indesign and illustrator will register 2 or 3+ clicks. This happens when I'm changing my point size, when I'm drawing anchor points, moving and image box, or alt-clicking to copy an item. The program will register numerous click even if I'm holding it down and ll get 5 text boxes when I was only trying to copy one.

Unable to scroll after zooming in.
Often times, after I have zoomed into a page, I lose the ability to scroll up and down through the page. This happens to both my scroll wheel and the hand tool. I have attached a video demonstrating it.

supscript
When building (or rebuilding) an index all the "see abc" entries using in place of "current page" have the "see" in superscript. I've written a GREP to correct, but it is annoying. Also get some random superscripts in various places in the main text.

Errorcode 2 too now.. (in Addition to Errorcode 4).. Database // Writing Rights...
After having troubles with errorcode 4 since CC17 and High Sierra, now Errorcode 2 enters the stage :(.
First Symptoms: If you are working on a document and you have to re-save it under different names, e.g. you are working with a kind of template and have to import assets and save the INDD files... you always stay in the folder of the file after using "save as" ... but in this case the Indesign points to something like "documents" or another default folder after clicking "save as".
After that i am not able to save the files or load…

Crop to settings not changing from Bounding Box
While placing an image, after choosing Show Import Options, I try to select something other than Bounding Box in the Crop to settings and it won't let me change how it is inserted. I have tried this with both PDFs and AI files, and it is a problem for my coworkers as well who are using 2018. After restarting InDesign, I didn't have the problem anymore.

cmd+v not working in scripts
- InDesign 2015, 2017 and 2018 on Mac OS (only on Mac. Works on Windows)
- Run the sample script "ImageCatalog.jsx". When the save dialog opens create a new folder. Name the folder by pasting a text using cmd+v.
- Any copied text would be expected to be pasted to name the folder.
- Nothing happens. But if you right click and choose "Paste" it works fine.

Adobe InDesign/InCopy cannot be opened because of a problem
InCopy will not launch in macOS 10.11.5 and 10.12.6. This is happening on two different computers, one a 2015 13" MacBook Pro with Retina and one a 2017 MacBook Pro with TouchBar. Have attempted uninstall/reinstalls as well as removing preference files.
I'm attaching the InCopy report from 10.12.6 computer but the 10.11.5 computer is currently off-site. I can add it later if I need to.
I'm also attaching a screenshot of the error message returned by InCopy when I try to launch the application.
