1. Export to PDF function crash in InDesign 15.1

   Today I have updated to InDesign 15.1 and when I try to export to PDF the application immediately crash.

   This happen even I change the type of export (small dimension, print, etc.).

   I'm using windows 10 pro ver. 1909 build 18363.836, and Indesign 15.1 x64.

   The system start to work but the application crash at 16% of the export.

   The problem seems connected with something on the file, because I try to export another project and it work perfectly.

   The file was all "green" in the preliminary checks panel.

   And I notice that the system crash also using other function, example scrolling the pages list or the links list.

   There is something wrong in the new version 15.1 that stops the compiling. Unfortunately no errors appear, only application crash.

   Coming back to version 15.0.3 have solved the problem and the file was perfectly exported in PDF.

4. Shortcuts and keyboard keys stop working.

   CC2018, Windows 10, latest update as of 01/18/18, x64 system with 12GB RAM. I often have to close and reopen documents or InDesign itself for shortcuts and some keys to work. There does not seem to be a common cause or specific file(s) that sets it off and it may or may not happen to all open documents if more than one is open. Generally closing the document and reopening it helps, but there have been times where I have to restart the program for anything to work. The issue includes any shortcuts and sometimes keys such as the arrow keys when trying to edge a graphic or text box over. Generally, I am able to type in the file name if I am trying to save my work before I close the program, but there have been times that my keyboard is disabled there as well and I have to save over what I have open, rely on the auto-backup file, or duplicate the file in Explorer and rename it so I don't lose the original file. This has not been an issue in any other programs except InDesign and has only been in the past few weeks. The crashing since the last update has subsided, but this issue has not. I would love to know how to fix this.

5. Screen flickering - Screen turns black when moving objects.

   When i drag and drop a Textframe my Screen flickers black for a second - almost every damn time. This happens for me and most of my colleagues and it is horrible to work with.

   I feel like it got worse after installing the latest "Tablehead" fix that fixed the disapearing tableheads.

   Build 12.1.0.56
   OS X El Capitan 10.11.6
   iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5", 2015)
   3,3 GHz Intel Core i7
   16 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
   Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 1536 MB

   2nd Monior is a DELL U2414H, 23,5" at 1800p

   This is happening on quite a lot of machines in my Company and also for Persons i know using a 4K Retina iMac. and Really is a pain to work with. - It is NOT visible in a Screenrecording the only option would be to record a Video from my Smartphone if needed...

   Thanks!

   The issue reported is at Apple’s end.
   Hence, Apple is recommending to update macOS to 10.15.x version in order to resolve this issue.

   Please update your macOS to Catalina. If you still face this issue in macOS 10.15 do add your comment in this thread.

6. Drag-Duplicating using Alt/Opt key does not work if key is pressed after dragging

   InDesign 2020 OPTION Duplicate is now broken, just like Photoshop has always been.

   Don't make me commit to the duplicate before moving an item.

   Sometimes I'll move a box, then realize I intended to duplicate it, so then I'll press OPTION... now I have to commit to it FIRST.

   Fix this and stop breaking things!

7. Id CC 2020 pdf export failure

   I get an error "Failed to Export the PDF file" when exporting file previously created in Id CC 2019.
   Id does not give any details about the error. It simply stops exporting. I've never seen such a message before (I've been working with Id since version 1.0).
   The same file is exported from CC2019 without any problems.
   Windows 10 with all updates.

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. Indesign incredibly slow or crashes with more than one document open

    InDesign (15.0.2) becomes almost unusable with more than (1) document open. Trying to copy text or images from one document to the next or just work in one of the documents while the other is open results in minutes-long wait times (or complete crash) to even select a text box, type a character, etc.

    Steps to reproduce:
    Open INDD doc (either on network or desktop)
    Open second INDD doc
    Attempt to edit text in either doc or copy over text from one document to the next

    Set-up info:
    InDesign 15.0.2
    Windows 10 Enterprise // 10.0.17763

    Trouble-shooting included:
    - Turned off all plug-ins
    - Turned off all preferences related to instant rendering of image, type, previews
    - Turned off pre-flight
    -Turned off type previews, variable characters, etc
    -Display is set to typical (although, it happens in FAST as well)

12. On Export - "Save As" name field not consistently highlighted by default

    1. 15.1.3 version
    2. Open InDesign, open file, click on a page, CMD E to export.
    3. Expect "SAVE AS" field highlighted to be able to change export name, as with previous versions.
    4. Sometimes nothing appears to be highlighted, taking hitting TAB several times to get to the "SAVE AS" field. However, sometimes it is highlighted - so this is not a consistant problem - as sometimes it does come up highlighted. It does seem that when I first open a file / export - that it is not highlighted, but after that, it does come up correctly highlighted.

    This is not a consistant problem, which is what makes it a problem. You never know if you can just type a new file name, or do you have to grab the mouse to get to the SAVE AS field, or try to TAB to the field, not really knowing how many times it takes to TAB over.

    Thank you!

14. No keyboard focus on launch

    InDesign 14.0.1.209, macOS Mojave 10.14.2

    When launched and the following conditions hold, InDesign does not seem to have keyboard focus (i.e.., no keyboard shortcuts work):

    1. Show ‘Start’ Workspace When No Documents Are Open is unticked.
    2. The Control bar is open in the default workspace.
    3. The CC Libraries panel is either not in the default workspace or collapsed.

    Note that conditions 2 and 3 are met by several of the standard workspace, for example both Advanced and Typography (but not Book, Essentials or Essentials Classic).

    If you choose a menu item or click in an input field, the app gains keyboard focus. Otherwise you seem to be able to type endlessly without any discernible effect.

15. 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!

17. CC2020: Alternate text for hyperlinks

    In CC2020 a new function for writing alternate text for links was introduced.
    Using this function and generating a PDF Leeds to wrong PDF notation. The alt text in PDF is presented by alt text, which is forbidden in the PDF world, where alt text only should be used for non text elements, e.g. pictures. By presenting only the alt text the accessibility is lost – this is against the goal to hav a better output!
    A correct output would lead to a content entry.

    Note: Alt text for links is under discussion, as such alt text is not present for all users (it would be read out loud, but you can't read it) – this is not about equal access.

    Thanks for fixing, this would be a good step for all people relying on accessible PDFs.

    Best, Klaas

18. Tab indent of RTL Numbered List does not line up

    See two screenshots attached, both are using the exact same settings, (Default, just changed to Hebrew numbering)
    in InDesign 2019 (14.0.3) Everything is nicely aligned, vs in InDesign 2020 (15.0) it's jagged, and I'm not able to align it in any way (Tabs, Indenting, etc.).
    I'm using InDesign 2020 תומך עיברית, on Windows 10

19. With Adjust Layout ON, Text Frames shrink to extremely tiny size on changing Margins.

    I am working in Adobe InDesign CC 2019 14.0.1. When I have a manuscript already flowed into my document and try to adjust the margins on the master page with Adjust Layout enabled, when the new margins are applied to the document, all the existing text boxes "disappear." From what I can tell, they have been resized down to an infinitely small point in the middle of the spread. Obviously, this is not useful. I used to be able to adjust the margins across an entire book-length document in one go with layout adjustment, and the text on every page would be re-fit to the new margins. The attached screenshots show the before and after on a spread (you can see the tiny text box in the middle in the after).

    Am I missing a step here, or is this a bug?

20. Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders.

    I can't even open InDesign anymore, I keep getting an error message that says "Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders. Ensure that you have appropriate permissions and then restart Adobe InDesign." I've changed permissions on every folder and file to "Read & Write" that I thought would help make it work but nothing is working. I was trying to open the latest version of ID, even undownloaded and tried using CC 2017 to no avail. I need this fixed ASAP.

    MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)
    MacOS High Sierra Version 10.13.3

    Please let me know what other information you need.
