My setup: Windows 10 Pro, InDesign CC 14.0.2 x64, Ben-Q monitor.
My cursor behaves properly when I use the Select tool, but when I use the Type tool, the cursor becomes very tiny outside of a text frame. If I click within a text frame, a vertical cursor blinks. However, to maneuver within the text frame, I need to use the cursor keys on my keyboard! I've tried changing the cursor settings for my system and restarting my computer to no avail. Please do not tell me to "trash" my preferences. I've spent a lot of time setting up a new document. Also, one past suggestion for similar bug reports was to change the system font size to 124%. The recommendation for my monitor is 250%. This bug is really slowing me down. Please advise.

I have a document that contains some email hyperlinks throughout it. I set up the hyperlinks with the link to "email" option, and then the address as the destination. Creating a "mailto:xyz@xyz.com" link.

After publishing online, when the links are clicked on, it takes the page to a "could not connect" page and does not respond correctly. BUT all email links work completely fine when copied and pasted, right click and opened up in a new tab, when clicking directly from an exported PDF, when clicking from the downloaded PDF from the published online document, etc. It's only from the direct link/web version of the published online.

When you hover over it, the link in the bottom left shows displays "mailto:xyz40%xyz.com". Showing 40% instead of the @. I have read other forums and articles discussing this and saying that is a glitch in Adobe that can potentially cause problems at times. Which may be the root of my problem, may not be.

I have also read about the workaround of this and I have tried changing my hyperlink from a link to "email" to an "URL" link, with the "mailto:" as the URL. That does eliminate the 40% mumbo jumbo I see in the bottom left, but the same problem occurs. Link does not work when clicking directly online from published version. Works fine all other ways. It's odd and very frustrating.

I'm using a completed updated version of InDesign CC 2019.

Recently, I'm in for a surprise when trying to use InDesign. I click on a certain option, and something random pops up, for example while typing this, I'm clicking on "Window > Pages", I'm getting redirected to Adobe website to buy InDesign (note, I already bought the license). Clicking again, redirected to another InDesign file, clicking another time, now I get my Table Style, basically I get everything except the Pages.

It's always a surprise what I get and I don't know how to get rid of this issue once and for all. This is the case for every option. Sometimes something random happens, something nothing happens. All my tools seems to work normally, so there's that.

This is the third time that it happened to me. Closing and reopening Indesign seems to work, although that's not really something that I want to do all the time, but it's necessary since this pretty much breaks the whole program.
I don't know what causes this, leaving InDesign open for the night, maybe? I have no clue.

I was working on some stuff for work yesterday, the InDesign files are stored on a server. However when going home, I didn't close the InDesign files, but I did get disconnected from the server, now I'm back at work connected with the server, InDesign still open. Not sure if this is relevant, I honestly wouldn't know why InDesign is acting so weird. If I had to give a timestamp on it, I would say it first happened a month ago? Might be little more or less.

I've inserted a screenrecording. Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes I get something random (which seems to be most of the case from my experience).

InDesign: 14.0.1

(Working on Adobe InDesign 14.0.2.)

Hi there,

so for a couple of weeks, my Indesign behaves quite badly.
For demonstration purposes, I created a new blank file but these bugs also occur in existing work projects.

Case 1: GPU switched on (Image: GPU on):
Zooming does not show any effect, only when I click in and change something. The rulers change, but my board/document is not zooming in (Video: Zooming with GPU). As soon as I found my page, the objects don't really move that well, more in a lagging, stocking way. (Video: Moving Objects with GPU).

This leads to massive pain when you try to work fluently.

Case 2: So I switched GPU off (Image GPU off):
This helped with the zoom, it worked again. But then creating objects, for example, text, totally lagged in showing the content. Creating a new text field and typing anything in it leaves it completely blank until I choose a different tool or click outside the box. Also moving those objects does not happen in real time and does not show any preview. (Video: Type and Move without GPU)

This, too, makes it really hard to build any kind of fluent workflow right now.

I uninstalled and installed InDesign and Creative Cloud repeatedly. Other applications don't seem to be affected (Photoshop, Illustrator, XD).

So. Any suggestions?

When I now need to do things in InDesign, I have to give it away to a colleague or use his Computer. Could it also be something with the internal graphics? But why do all other apps work so well then and it's only InDesign behaving badly.

Thank you very much!

I've created a test file with links and images and test text to try and replicate the fault. Follow the steps in the InDesign file attached.

Put simply, text – whether it is UTF-8 or UTF-16 can import unicode characters that are meant to represent emojis etc, and this is demonstrated in the test file. While not in the minion character set, I've created a GREP style that looks for unicode characters and changes them to apple color emoji. That bit works.
What does NOT work is when importing the text as part of a data merge... instead the unicode characters are completely skipped.
