1. ID 2020 15.1 - All text variables (including page numbers) replaced by "ss" text

   Just updated to ID 2020 15.1 and found a bug which makes the program unusable forcing me to immediately downgrade.
   When I open on of my ID documents created in previous version of ID, all of my defined text variables as well as page numbers are corrupted and replaced by the "ss" text. Changing the style has no effect. I can create page number based on the 'Basic Paragraph' style but when i choose any other previously created style, the number changes to 'ss'.
   Even the variable field preview shows 'ss' text instead of variable name.
   The same document opens in ID 2020 15.0.3 without any problems.

   I just updated from 2020 to 2021 version.
   Now, when trying to create a new document, the dialogue works as expected but when clicking "erstellen" (create) nothing happens.

4. InDesign opens documents in read only after upgrading to InDesign 2023(18.0)

   Indesign CC 2023 version 18.0 Files open as “Read Only”
   As soon as updated, some files have started to open “Read Only” (RO)
   My OS: Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19044 or 21H2
   PC Desktop
   I am working remotely through a VPN to a server IP address
   I have Indesign 2023 18.0 , and Indesign CS6 installed. I have not opened the CS6 in years. Also noted: My machine does not automatically uninstall the former version when it updates. I manually uninstalled Indesign 2022 after I started using the 2023. At first I thought the RO problem was a conflict, so that was the first thing I did.
   Older version files open up as “converted” ok
   I am able to do all writing on my remote server, I can “save as”, and export files, create folders, delete files, ect.
   If I copy a file that opens RO to my local desktop, I can then open it fine (read/write - RW). If I make changes to that file, save, and then copy it back to remote server, it will open as RO again.
   This does not seem to be happening to every file. I started working on 2 files yesterday, opened and made changes, saved, and closed both multiple times in the morning, then a couple hours later, they opened RO. Then another hour later, one of them opened ok -RW.
   I have a coworker that has the same PC OS Windows system version, and same Indesign version. We both access to the files through same VPN, he is just not in same location as me (about 20 miles away). However, his system automatically uninstalled older versions when it updates. He can open the same files that open RO for me, and they open fine, RW, for him.
   If I open a brand new blank file and I copy and paste all contents from a file that opened RO, then close the RO file and save my Untitled document over it, it will them open up ok when I go back immediately and open it. However, if I go back to open that file, say an hour later, It may or may not open up “Read Only” again.
   I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Indesign 2023, and checking to make sure updated. I have unplugged (reset) my modem.
   I cannot change my preferences for updates to uninstall older versions at this time as I have a graphics card issue with the latest version of Photoshop. I cannot go back to using Indesign 2022, as my cowerker has already been using 2023 for awhile and many files are converted.
   It seems to be intermittent, and almost like there is a problem with files not closing properly? Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

6. Objects on the page jump if a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page and vice versa

   Hi developers,
   this is a longstanding bug:

   With facing pages documents on EVERY document page there is a zone where jumping of objects will happen.

   I call this the jump zone. All objects on a page that will jump are clearly inside the page's area. The bug has nothing to do with rounding errors where object edges are at the edge of a page.

   The objects should not move if pages are added or removed, if numbering of pages is changing. Nevertheless they do. Always. Unless, the zone has a width of zero.

   Below all the details.

   What is a jump zone?
   If horizontal values for left and right margins differ, there is a BUG that in effect forms a zone on the page.
   I call this zone JUMP ZONE because objects that touch the zone with their edges could jump horizontally.

   When will objects jump?
   1. When a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page OR a right-hand page becomes a left-hand page.

   1. When a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page and later when a right-hand page becomes a left-hand page again.

   This could happen within a single InDesign document open.

   WARNING:
   It could even happen to InDesign documents that are not visibly open.
   That's with InDesign documents that are part of a InDesign book file.
   The book file's feature with auto-numbering pages can do this even if no document is visibly open.
   The damage is done if auto-numbering took place AND the book file is saved.

   How large is the jump zone?
   The height of the zone is the height of the page.
   The width of the zone can be calculated:
   inner margin MINUS outer margin

   How large is the jump?
   The width of the jump zone.

   Where is the jump zone positioned?
   Positive value: The zone is at the spine of the page.
   Objects that touch the zone jump towards the spine.

   Negative value: The zone is at the edge of a page away from the spine.
   Objects that touch the zone jump away from spine.

   What versions of InDesign are affected?
   All versions CC up to InDesign 2020, Mac OS X and Windows.
   InDesign CS6, Mac OS X and Windows.

   Possibly also InDesign CS5 and CS5.5, Mac OS X and Windows.
   I did not test this.

   How can I avoid jump zones?
   Make right and left margin values the same!

   Are there workarounds if I cannot avoid jump zones?

   1. Anchor objects
      that touch the jump zone to text frames that do not touch the jump zone.
      Nested objects will not jump if the parent objects are not touching the jump zone.

   2. Group an object
      to another one that is touching the top or the bottom edge of the page.
      Tests are showing that objects will not jump if they touch the bottom OR the top of the page.
      ( OR both, bottom and top edges of the page .)

   Other things to consider about moving objects?
   The following is independently of jump zones:
   Objects could move to other pages if their edges touch exactly the horizontal edges on pages in facing pages.
   Depending on the version of InDesign this could also happen with objects touching the spine.
   Reason: Rounding errors.

   What can provoke all this?
   1. Add or remove an odd number of pages
   so that left-hand pages become right-hand pages and vice versa.

   1. Renumber start pages of sections so that left-hand pages become right-hand pages and vice versa.

   Note:
   Every document has at least one section by default.
   The start of that section is the first page in the document.

   PS: Why does InDesign Uservoice not permit to attach files with suffix .indd ?
   Message: "Invalid file type: .indd files not allowed."
   Isn't that rather absurd?

8. Return the use of "master pages" instead of "parent pages"

   In the latest version Adobe decided that their job was to educate us to speak proper language, which is why the word "master pages" was replaced with "parent pages".
   We do not find any problem with the phrase "master pages" and believe that it is not Adobe's role to dictate policy according to progressive agendas.
   We demand to return to the previous concept of "master pages".
   The term "parent pages" is confusing and misleading, with all the documentation of the software on the web for 2 decades referring to master pages.

9. Adobe InDesign 2024(v19.0) - Users are facing issues while scrolling using Trackpad/Touchpad

   I have installed the upgrade to Adobe InDesign 2024 (build 19.0) while keeping version 2023 (build 18.5) and have encountered the following problem:

   • After opening a document, the mouse scroll wheel does not seem to work (i.e. it is not possible to scroll up or down the contents of a page). However, this condition still works in InDesign version 2023.

   Has anyone encountered the same problem and found a solution?

    Resolved For User  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Senior Lead Quality Engineer, Adobe InDesign) responded

    The proper way to use this feature has been explained. It works like this:

    The extra text frame (containing the Previous/Next Page Number) need not be linked to the text frame to which it refers. It just has to touch that text frame.

    The way this feature works is that you have a text frame that contains some text on a certain page. That text continues on a different page that is random. So, for example, in a magazine, you have an article that starts on page 11, and then it continues on page 80. In that case, you will create a separate text frame on page 11, make it touch the text frame that contains the article and put "Continued on Page . Similarly, on page 80, you will create a separate text frame and make it touch the article and put "Continued from Page .
    When you do that, on Page 11 you will see “Continued on Page 80” and on Page 80 you will see “Continued from Page 11”. And this remains dynamic in the sense that if you add or delete pages in the magazine, the Page Number in Continued on/Continued from changes automatically based on where the article continues on and where it is continued from.

    We hope now you’d understand why this feature is designed the way it is.

    Please use the feature as described above and let us know if it does not work for you.

14. Based-on Master Pages don't inherit Primary Text Frame

    When we create new documents with facing pages and Primary Text Frames on, new master pages are then created based on that original master page.

    I would expect them to inherit the same threading and Primary Text Frame designation as the original, but they don't. Only the text frame on the right hand master page is designated as part of the primary text flow, and the frames are no longer threaded. Designers have to check every based-on master, re-designate the primary text flow, and re-thread the frames.

    The steps to reproduce are:
    1. Create a new document with Facing Pages and Primary Text Frames enabled. The A-Master spread has primary text frames on each page, threaded together.

    1. Create a new master that is based on the A-Master. The new master spread only inherits the Primary Text Frame on the right hand page. The page on the left gets a basic text frame, and the frames are not threaded across the spread.

    When we create new documents with facing pages and Primary Text Frames on, new master pages are then created based on that original master page.

    I would expect them to inherit the same threading and Primary Text Frame designation as the original, but they don't. Only the text frame on the right hand master page is designated as part of the primary text flow, and the frames are no longer threaded.

15. Random blocks of color, screen skipping

    InDesign v16.2.1 - Started getting large blocks of color in my InDesign docs - never in the same file, appears randomly but always when scrolling. And this morning, a weird "skipping" thing happened - see attached. I've updated my iOS, un- and reinstalled InDesign to no avail.

16. Resize Pages Tool does not work

    The resize pages tool does not work. The page size always jumps back to its initial size. You always have to enter the size manually. Also the resizing from an anchor point of the page does not work properly. Especially elements outside the artboard (for example in the info section) don't place accordingly.

17. Prompted to save with no changes made to document

    InDesign CC

    I open a saved document in InDesign, but have no made any changes or touched the document at all. InDesign puts the asterisk next to my file anyways, prompting me to save upon exit. But no changes have been made. This is very annoying because I don't know if a change has been made or the program is messing up. I then have to update all of my PDF exports just to be safe.

19. Anomalous character missing glyph in the Story editor – Serious file problems

    I report a bug regarding an InDesign document of an anomalous character that is found in the "Story editor", which has already been reported in older versions of Adobe Indesign.
    (OS version: BigSur 11.3.1)
    (Adobe InDesign version: 16.2)

    As you can see in the examples that I attach, the text presents problems and I believe it is caused (or highlighted) by the missing glyph signs in each line of the "story editor", which does not appear to exist in the text.

    The problem is not solved by making the file idml.
    I tried to fix it by copying the text and placing it in a new InDesign file, the result didn't change.
    Then I tried to paste the text into "Microsoft Word" and after copying it again I brought it to a new InDesign file and, in that case, the problem disappears (unfortunately, however, I cannot do it with the entire text of the book because it is too complex and I'd basically have to start the job all over again). So I think the bug is only referable to certain files.

    I also tried to create a new document by importing all the pages from the old one, but even this operation did not solve the problem.
    In addition to this anomaly, I also noticed that clicking in some places of the text (to insert text or delete it manually) the cursor is positioned more and more to the left of where I click (for example, if I click after the last letter of the word after which I want to insert a text, the cursor is positioned between the penultimate and the last letter of that word, it is very annoying on a long job).

    The same thing happened to my colleague in the department: another document caused many more problems than mine, especially on a certain page, whatever action he performed, the file often slowed down until the program was closed, it was very difficult for him to complete a job that was now in its final phase.

    Finally, as described at the beginning, I point out the links of the posts where this problem has already been reported:

    2018:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/first-character-of-story-editor-and-notes-panel-displays-incorrectly/td-p/9549599/page/2

20. Hidden characters not showing

    Indesign 15.1.2 OSX Catalina 10.15.4 MBP 2020 16"

    Hidden characters not showing, either from keyboard shortcut or from drop down menu, having tried various options, resolve seems to be shut down Indesign and restart Mac... not a quick fix!
