1. Spell Check does not work after installing InDesign 15.0.2

   Dear Adobe Team,
   in our office we use In Design from several years without nothing problems.

   Yesterday we had updated the version 15.0.2. After that, the spell-check (we use the Italian language) don’t work if we import text in a existing document.

   But if we import text in a new document, the spell-check work without problems.

   Please can you help us?

2. Ai Transparency blends, placed into ID, exported to png w anti-alias on -> color mismatch

   Ai 2019 files, when opacity is set on parent group item and child items, and laid over a white background -- when placed into ID 2019 and exported to png w anti-alia on, there is a significant color mismatch. Strangely, when exported to png w anti-alias turned off, the correct color results. The ID export to png anti-alias code must have a bug in it. The same for jpg export. PDF export is fine.

3. InDesign 2020 v15.01 makes corrupt documents when using Alternate Layout

   The "Create Alternate Layout" in indesign 2020 v15.01 is toxic.

   After using it, chances are high that documents will at some later stage become corrupt. It may manifest itself by crashing on copy/paste or just a spinning beachball of death (Mac).

   I have seen this on at least 20 different documents since upgrading from version 2019 to version 2020 (15.0.1). We never used version 15.0.

   This is my guess on what happens:
   Using "Create Alternate Layout" it will make some of the Paragraph Styles corrupt. Version 2020 seems to crash (beachball) whenever one of these are accessed. This might very well be when you open the document, making the whole document inaccessable. It also might happen at a later stage, a minute or two after you have opened the document. (Maybe when some routine tries to read some of the corrupt text styles?)

   Maybe "Copy Text Styles to New Group" is also involved in the plot.

   We are using fairly advanced Paragraph styles with nested styles, based on styles, grep styles, rules etc.

   If I try to use ID 2019 to open the corrupt document using the "Convert" feature, it will somewhat surprisingly likely manage to do so. As opposed to v2020 that only crashes. It will however delete most or all of the Paragraph Styles and assign Standard to all text leaving the document a royal mess. We have not tried to continue to work on such a "Salavaged" document, so if it is still "usable" I do not know.

   Using the exact same features on the same documents in version 2019 never produced such corrupt documents. This has been rampant since upgrading to v2020.

   (I have samples, but not for posting publicly.)

5. Restore video from URL media option

   For some unexplained reason the Video from URL option has been removed from InDesign 2020. This needs to be restored ASAP as there are people using this feature.

   Moveover, it needs a minor improvement to allow HTTPS links (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/37474690-place-a-video-from-a-url-with-https).

   It was a big mistake to not query the community before removing this and it should be a simple thing to restore.

6. InDesign and Acrobat accessibility conflict

   Adobe InDesign version: 2019 CC

   We are currently trying to establish the best workflow in creating fully accessible PDF's for screen readers and I believe we have come across a bug in the communication between InDesign and Acrobat.

   Quick summary:

   H1 elements on multiple lines read as separate elements unless assigned manually in Acrobat
   The Structure and Article order does not transfer to the PDF

   To explain the issue clearly I have numbered the images in the process order.

   1. Image: 1 InDesign Accessibility setup.png
   2. I have setup ‘paragraph styles’ and used the correct ‘Export Tagging’ tags for each style.
   3. I have added the content I want to be read in Articles and put them in the correct order
   4. I have created tags and assigned all the content correctly
   5. I have reordered the ‘Structure’ to be in the reading order too

   Please note - the order of the ‘Structure’ and or ‘Articles’ does not transfer to Acrobat (after selecting the correct export settings.

   1. Image: 2 Interactive PDF with options selected.png
      This image shows I have selected Interactive PDF and selected:
      ‘Create tagged PDF’
      ‘Use structure for Tab Order’

   2. Image: 3 Initial PDF review - incorrect content order.png
      You can see the reading order does not match either the ‘Article’ or ‘Structure’ order from InDesign which I have set up.

   You can also see that the elements are ‘Spans’ not H1, H2 and P tags.

   1. Image: 4 Initial PDF review - Tag number ordering incorrect.png
      You can see the screen readers reading order by the numbers shown on this image which again does not match the order I set up in InDesign.

   2. 5 Initial PDF review - tag h1 splitting.png
      The tag order doesn’t match the structure setup in InDesign
      Also there is another bug when reading H1 tags on multiple lines.

   You can see how the H1 tag is broken by 4 lines. This has been tested and you have to swipe 4 times to listen to the full H1 header.

   1. 6 Initial PDF review - tag h1 splitting - fix by order assigning.png In Acrobat I have then gone into the reading order and manually set the main header to a H1 tag. This then groups the text in the tag order window and fixes the issue of it being multilines. You can then also see the tag has changed from Span to H1.

   The same thing needs to be done for the other multi layered heading tags.

   I hope this is clear enough to understand.

7. 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

8. 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.

10. Serious problem of "^" for GREP search

    Enter only "^" in the GREP search string field and click the search button to select the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph. But this cannot be used for replacement. The replacement result is 0.
    I gave up that it was only useful for simple pointing tricks, but when I run it from a script the application hangs.

    It is like this. (When executed, the rainbow cursor will rotate forever.
    Please be careful. )

    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^";
    var res = app.activeDocument.findGrep ();

    If the replacement string field is "~ c" (the contents of the clipboard), the first character is lost from the original text instead of entering it.
    This is also a very dangerous behavior.

    Requests for improvement include:
    Improved to prevent hang when executing the above script,
    If possible, replace text (add a character string to the beginning of a paragraph).

    GREP検索文字列の欄に"^"だけを入力、検索ボタンをクリックすると、段落の先頭の挿入点が選択されます。しかしこれを置換には利用できません。置換結果は0個となります。
    単なるポインティングの小技にしか役に立たないと諦めていましたが、これをスクリプトから実行するとアプリケーションがハングアップします。

    こんな具合です。（実行するとレインボーカーソルが永遠に回転します。
    ご注意ください。）

    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^";
    var res = app.activeDocument.findGrep();

    また、置換文字列の欄が"~c"（クリップボードの内容）などの場合、それが入る代わりに元のテキストから先頭の1文字が失われます。
    これも非常に危険な挙動であると言えます。

    改善の要望としては、
    上記のようなスクリプトを実行した際にハングアップしないよう改善、
    そして可能であればテキストを置換（段落の先頭に文字列を追加）できるよう改善。

11. Data Merge function "Honor existing frame fitting option" is not working on master pages

    Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server

    iMac 27 Zoll End 2012

    Steps to reproduce the issues
    See also attached video

    Open the file > 01ExposeTEMPXMLStart.indd
    Generate a merged document by clicking the button
    Choose "Honor existing frame fitting" in Content Placement Options
    Click [OK]
    Jump to page 1 in the merged document
    The pictures are placed without honoring the existing frame fitting options from the object style
    This only happens with frames that are placed on a master page. The same frame on a document page works fine

    Expected result
    Data Merge should honor the new feature "Honor existing frame fitting options" on master pages al well

    Actual result
    The existing frame fitting options even by object style applied is ignored

    Workaround
    If a object style is already applied you can remove the local override by pressing the "delete local override" button

12. Data Merge function "Remove Blank Lines for Empty Fields" deletes the wrong paragraph

    Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server

    Adobe InDesign 15.0.1

    macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

    iMac 27 Zoll End 2012

    Steps to reproduce the issues

    See also attached video

    Open Document "02VKLeerzeilenTEMPEnde.indd"
    Open Data-Merge Panel
    Generate a merged document with click on the button
    Uncheck "Remove Blank Lines for Empty Fields" in Content Placement Options
    Press [OK]
    Repeat Step 3 this time Check "Remove Blank Lines for Empty Fields" in Content Placement Options
    Press [OK]
    Put the documents side by side
    Activate "Show Style override" in the paragraph panel
    Jump to page 2
    On the left side (Merged Document, Blank line intact) you can see the 2 markers followed by a paragraph symbol
    On the right side (Merged Document, Blank line removed) you can see that the 2 markers with paragraph symbol moved 1 line up behind the 7 and the other paragraph symbol is deleted
    Everything is o.k. because the paragraph style (07padresse) of the line "Mobile" and the deleted "Blank line" are the same
    Jump to page 3
    On the left side you can see the 2 markers followed by a paragraph symbol
    On the right side (Merged Document, Blank line removed) you can see that the 2 markers with paragraph symbol moved 1 line up and the other paragraph symbol (blue highlighted on the left side) is deleted BUT this time the paragraph style of these 2 paragraph are NOT the same! The result is a bigger gap between the two sentence "Frau Marie…" and Tel: 012…" on the right then it should be as you can see on the left

    Expected result
    The Blank line (2 markers and paragraph symbol) should be deleted/removed

    Actual result
    Instead of the Blank line (2 markers and paragraph symbol) the paragraph symbol before that (blue highlighted on the left side) is removed AND the remaining paragraph also picks up the paragraph style from the "Blank line" (if there were text in my example you could see that as well)

    Workaround
    You can generate a merged document with Blank lines and delete/remove them with Find/Change
    Find > (markers) + paragraph symbol = <FEFF><FEFF>^p
    Change > to nothing
    This way everything stays intact!

14. Links export to PDF creates "Null Alt Text" attribute in tagged PDF

    When an ID 15 file with hyperlinks is exported to Tagged PDF, unless you assign alternative text to the Links in ID, the Link tags will have a "null text" attribute which prevents the content of the Link tag from being read by a screen reader. This is a problem for several reasons. Not everyone chooses to add alternative text to hyperlinks. It's a UA, but not a WCAG 2 requirement. An automated accessibility checker like Acrobat's or even PAC is not going to flag this. Most people do not do a "Jaws check" of the PDF they are remediating and will never know that the links are not "reading."

    Also, if you have a Figure which is hyperlinked the proper structure for that in a 508 compliant PDF is to place the Figure tag inside the Link tag and assign alternative text to the Figure tag not the link tag. Now with the null text Link tags, THIS will produce a "nested link" error from the Acrobat Checker. The nested alternative text for the Figure will not be read. Unfortunately, many people attempting to make 508 PDFs are unaware of what "null alt text" is and will have a devil of a time trying to resolve the error.

    So, instead of making PDF remediation easier with this new feature in ID you have made things worse!

    Ideally if no alternative text is entered in Indesign there should be no Alt text attribute of any kind in the Link Tag in the PDF.

    I've attached several files so you can see what this looks like in the Tags panel, but to truly understand it you should try to "read" the attached PDF using a screen reader like Jaws or NVDA.

15. Adding text to "chained" anchored textframes causing complete crash when text is added to one of the first three frames

    Indesign 2020, Version 15.0.1, iMac with Mac OS 10.15.1:

    We have hundreds of documents created in Indesign 2019 with "chained" anchored textframes, sometimes 4, sometimes 5 frames in a row. Frames are set to automatical height adjust. When text is added to one of the first three frames causing the frame to become higher than before Indesign chrashes completely without warning. Adding text to frame 4 or 5 does NOT create a crash! Same files work perfectly under Indesign 2019. Problem occured with first version of Indesign 2020, and remains after recent update.

    Would love to attach an Indesign testfile, but the contact form does not allow ".indd"-files...? I attached a video instead. First I add text to the fourth frame, and everything is fine. Then I add text to the second frame, and when I reach the end of the line (which should cause a linebreak and height-addition to the frame) Indesign crashes completely, without warning, without freezing before, and I am force-returned to the desktop.

16. Balance Columns Not Working for Tables

    Balance Columns does not work for Tables.

    Steps to duplicate:
    1. Create a large Text Frame with two columns.
    2. Enable Balance Columns on that Text Frame.
    3. Create a Table in the Text Frame with a number of rows, say 10 rows.
    4. Add a paragraph break, or return.
    5. Create a line of Text under that Table that spans columns.
    The Table ignores the Balance Columns Setting.

17. Publish Online feature has issues when viewed in iOS 13

    We are using the "Publish Online" feature inside Adobe Indesign to make some of our content available on our website. We've recently received reports from users with Apple iOS 13 mobile devices that the content is not displaying properly on those types of mobile phones. When the content first opens, if you double tap the page zooms in ok and double tapping again zooms out ok. However, if you try to pinch/zoom, the page blows up very large such that you can only see a couple words and you cannot pinch to get back out. Sometimes double-tapping again takes it back to a normal view, but often it zooms back out with part of the page cut off. This content was created using InDesign Creative Cloud 14. I spoke with tech support and she indicated a ticket was filed with the engineering team. Posting here as well for others to be aware and to receive updates!

18. Column Rule colour is inconsistent vs. Fill and Stroke

    The colour applied to a Column Rule is darker than elsewhere applied, e.g., Fills and Strokes.

    1. New file.
    2. Draw a text frame (no text needed) and set the Columns to 2 and turn ON the Column Rule with default values. However, set the Colour to 10% Black.
    3. Set the Fill and the Stroke of the text frame to the very same 10% Black.

    Notice that the Column Rule is darker than the Fill and Stroke. It shouldn't be.

    Hope this helps.

    Allan

    P.S. See the attached screenshot - I'm using Magenta rather than Black. Same results.

19. Column Rule disappears when grouped objects **with Text Wrap** are moved/nudged

    Firstly, let me just say a BIG thanks for introducing Column Rules in CC 2020.

    However, I've found a couple of problems so far.

    1. New File
    2. Draw a text frame (no text needed) and set the Columns to 2, and turn ON the Column Rule (all basic, default values).
    3. Draw another text or graphic frame (doesn't matter which) and place it anywhere (doesn't matter if it overlays the text frame, or not).
    4. Group the two objects.
    5. HERE IS THE KEY STEP: With the group selected, turn on Text Wrap (doesn't matter which... anything other than 'None').
    6. Move the group ANY amount... e.g., simply nudge it with the arrows on your keyboard. (keyboard or drag with the mouse... the results are the same).

    The column rule will disappear!

    If you double-click to select the 2nd object drawn (not the text frame) and nudge it on its own, the column rule will re-appear. BUT... as soon as you nudge the text frame (on its own) or nudge the group again, the column rule will disappear again.

    The trigger is the Text Wrap. Without it, it behaves normally.

    It does not matter if there is Text Wrap applied to the individual objects. The trigger is the Text Wrap applied to the GROUP of objects.

    Hope this helps.

20. ID 2020 - Indent in combination with wrap text around an image not working

    In Indesign 2020, whenever I want to wrap text next to an image, but the text also has an indent the text jumps from the supposed position.
    In Indesign 2019 this did not happen. The text was wrapped nicely next to the image, the way you should expect.

    My guess what happens here, is that the indent specs are applied not the the edge of the frame, but to the edge of the text. Which corrupts the spacing between the image and the text.

    I'm working with the latest 2020 version on iMac with Catalina

    This issue is addressed with a new option "Honor Text Indents in addition to Text Wrap" in Preferences > Composition dialog. This option is ON for new docs created in ID2023 and needs to be turned ON for docs created in older versions of InDesign when opened in ID2023.
