Major lagging/hanging when typing text and selecting objects
InDesign 14.0.1; Windows 10
I was experiencing some major lag when typing text, up to 30 seconds. Even when text started to appear, words would appear only one letter at a time with significant delay in between. The problem then expanded to selecting and moving objects around on a page. InDesign for me has been unusable for the past few hours (Jan. 25, 2019 from 1:30 - 4:30pm EST). I even tried reverting back to version 14.0 and had no luck. Rebooted several times. I then went into my system restore and saw that earlier today a Microsoft Visual C++…

InDesign exporting wrong PDF size
Jan. 18, 2019
My document settings in InDesign are 3.66x8.5.
When I export to any type of PDF it shows as being 4x9
No bleed, no slug. I know sometimes the numbers are rounded up when you look at the size on a PDF but this is odd.When I do a test with a document size of 3x8 I'm still getting a 4x9.

Oswald Book Font Installed on Windows but doesn't work in InDesign
I am using InDesign CC 14.0 for Windows 7 and I am having trouble with a font called Oswald. I have 3 fonts from the family Oswald installed on my computer (book, light, and bold). However, Oswald Book does not work in InDesign. It works in Illustrator and Microsoft Word so it appears to be an InDesign issue rather than a font installation issue.

Indesign CC 2018 (oct): display of frame borders offset by 1 pixel
Indesign CC 14.0.1 x64, german
put a pageitems' left border exactly on X=0, aligning the item to the left side of a right page on facing pages... see screenshot...
Frame border is displayed offset by 1 pixel.
This does not apply to right aligned items on left pages. Here the frame border is displayed fine.
It's minor ... but ugly.

Converting footnotes to endnotes ignores some endnote-settings
Indesign CC 2019 (oct)
When converting footnotes to endnotes the endnotes-settings for creating them at the end of story or in a place gun are ignored. Endnotes from converted footnotes are always placed in a new frame at the end of document.
Expected behaviour: Converted footnotes should appear in the place gun if the endnote-setting says so.
(Sidenote/Opinion: letting indesign insert a single page seems like a workaround - as this might reflow a large document and also totally jumble up the page composition. I know that ID has become way more clever in dealing with odd/even switching of pages…

PageMaker import doesn't work.
InDesign is supposed to import PageMaker 6.5 documents. Adobe gives instructions for it here: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/converting-quarkxpress-pagemaker-documents.html#convert_pagemaker_documents
This doesn't work. Not only are p65 files not recognized as loadable by default, but attempting to load them forcibly results in an error message from InDesign.

eyedropper not working correctly
That's version 14.0.1.209
When I create a NEW document — there is no problem, the eyedropper working correctly.
BUT...
When I work in a document that was previously in an earlier version (for example, CC 2018), then this problem is present.If I CREATE a new text box in a document that has been re-saved from an earlier version (IC 2018), then the eyedropper will not work correctly.
If I CREATE a new text box in a NEW document (CCP 2019), and then transfer it to an old document, then the eyedropper in the new box will not work.

English:UK spelling currently not picking up US spellings 'ize', 'izing'
InDesign is not currently detecting US spellings that use 'ize' in text that is set as 'English: UK'. (example 'organize'). We have checked to make sure there are no local overrides, such as paragraph or character styles set to 'English: USA' (there aren't), and that the undetected spelling has not been added to the custom dictionary (they haven't been). Failure to pick up 'ize' spellings is a departure from previous behaviour and is quite problematic for our workflow. Other US English spellings (such as 'behavior') are being detected.

Imported drawn PDF comments don't adjust in ID layout
- ID 14
- Import a batch of PDF comments into layout, including edits made using the Oval and Arrow tools to show placement. Then proceed to apply edits, thereby adjusting the location of the text on the page.
- I would expect the drawn edits to be tagged to a location in the text, and to track with the copy as it reflows. If this feature is going to be available, that is.
- Actual result: the markup remains on the page at the coordinates at which it was imported. By the time to you get to that location, if you've been making…
