Adding "Current Page" marker to TOC targeted paragraph doesn't use page numbering format
InDesign 15.1.2
Using "Current Page" in text that will be used for the TOC ignores page numbering. If I start a section on page 5, the TOC shows page 1 even though the "Current Page" on the specified page is correct.1 vote -

Packaging a server-located file fails
Since updating to 15.1.2 I am unable to package a piece of work which is saved on our server - "Indesign cannot access..."
Upon testing, package works fine if the piece of work is saved locally on my mac, but fails for any server based work, which unfortunately is where all of my work is saved. This has happened before on a previous update quite a while ago, but you fixed the issue, so would appreciate it if it could be fixed again. Thanks.1 vote -
Crash when continuing to place text from Word
Hello.
When I try to continue to place text from any Word document Indesign crashes. It actually won't crash by "itself", it just stops working.
I have followed the steps you outlined here: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html#Howtosubmitcrashreports
to submit a crash report. However, since I have to Force quit it I cannot get the report crash dialogue.

Effects Pallet is constantly disappearing from InDesign
I don't know why, often after a restart of InDesign and sometimes while I'm using it the Effects Pallet disappears and no matter how many times I use the Windows> Effects menu item and it's shortcut Cmd + Shift + F10 I will not appear. It also isn't in the sidebars. I end up having to go through a bunch of preset workspaces until it turns up and then rebuild the workspace.
Big waste of my time.

PDF with Identity-H encoded fonts not rendering in 2020
PDFs with certain Identity-H encoded fonts do not display in InDesign 2020 (Windows, v 15.1.2), but work fine in InDesign 2019.
The issue seems to be font encoding related – InDesign 2020 doesn’t like the Museo Sans 500 (and some other OpenType) fonts being embedded into the PDF using the Identity-H encoding. If the encoding is changed to ANSI encoding, then the PDFs render fine.
Preflighting the PDF shows the problem fonts as Type 0.
Conversion of the PDF using Acrobat to PDF/X appears to rebuild the PDF in such a way as InDesign is able to render it (although…

The Stroke Panel Table Cell Stroke picker box is adjusting other Workspace panels in its shared column
My saved workspace has the Stroke Panel at the top of a column of panels and when I create a table and click into it to change its stroke, the Table Cell Stroke picker in the Stroke Panel expands. When I click outside of the table and the Table Cell Stroke picker goes away, the panels that expanded collapse, but other panels below stay in place. If this is done repeatedly, the other panels' locations/sizes would be altered permanently needing the Workspace to be reset.
The video below shows what happens when the above described action is performed multiple times.…

Paragraph-Borders are not wrapped in appropriate container - InDesign 15.1.2 (macos)
To reproduce add a border to a paragraph style (not the frame, the paragraph) apply this to an existing paragraph and export to PDF. In Acrobat use preflight to check for pdf/ua compliance. You will get an error message telling there is a content that is neither an artifact nor a tagged content.
To fix this in Acrobat, you have to select the "path" elements in navigation pane and apply an apropriate parent container. Reason for this behavior is, that InDesign places the path that renders the border directly in the structure without a container element. And this does not…

Incopy with Conditional text not holding
I design electrical manuals in InDesign, some text is shared between books using InCopy. Some of the text is product specific so I use Conditions to turn that text off and on. But when I create the Condition in one book and then open the book with shared InCopy links, that text and everything after it is now that same Condition.
I tried everything to fix this. The only workaround I found to work is making the Paragraph Return before the text I want Conditioned and leaving the Paragraph return after my text Unconditional will work.1 vote -

InDesign Freeze when anchored objects are 'Fit Frame to Content'
Whenever fitting Frame to Content with an anchored object, InDesign freezes and I have to force-quit. This is really annoying, since I work with a lot of anchored objects that include text and need to be resized a lot of times.
Working with InDesign 2020, 15.1.2 on Windows 10

Share for review Icon is hiding content.
The share for review icon is hiding my text in InDesign.
Often I get text updated and users place the icon on top of the words.
When I want to update the text, it is very difficult to see the text to update as the icon is placed right on top. Would be nice if I could move the icon a little.Thanks.
1 voteYou can click on the Eye icon at the bottom of the Review panel to temporarily hide the annotations and unhide them again by clicking again on the Eye icon.

Beim Veröffentlichen von doppelseitigen Dokumenten "verschwinden" Teile auf der linken Seite. Bei einer erneuten Veröffentlichung sind jeweils andere Teile "verschwunden". Gibt es da eine Lösung?
When publishing double-sided documents, parts on the left side "disappear". When publishing again, other parts "disappear". Is there a solution?

Page numbering is broken
Since the latest update (InDesign 15.1.2) you can no longer change the page numbering to roman numerals or a, b, c etc. When you make a new section and change the style of numbering system - nothing changes. You can also not make a page have a new number - for example change page 10 to page 20, it will remain as page 10. These are very important features of InDesign and need to be fixed as soon as possible.
Step 1 - Menu - Layout - Number & section options
Step 2 - Change page 1 to style 'i,…1 voteThe issue was resolved by trashing preference and cache.
Marking this as solved as confirmed by the user.—
