Cannot mirror a footer
I am taking an InDesign class and in one of the steps in the book it says, Use the selection tool, select the footer, hold down the Alt key, and drag the text frame to the right master page so that it snaps to the guides, mirroring the left master page.
I have NO finger dexterity so cannot hold down multiple buttons is there a way to do the above without holding down the keys?

beachball
Activating a font or fonts while InDesign CC2018 is running results in frustrating beachballs until you restart InDesign. Also do not open your pages panel because it will cost you 5 min. of your life untli ID responds again.

Tagged Text file import randomly places URLs throughout text
I can't import an InDesign Tagged Text file without getting randomly inserted footnote URLs placed throughout the text and all footnote links being broken.
Since I'm working on a book and have hundreds of footnotes, I thought AITT would be my best option for backing up and recovering chapter text.

search all documents
Search / Find "All Documents" opens unrelated docs, causes error crash.
Sometimes, when doing a "find" on "All Documents," InDesign will suddenly open a document (a document that is linked in my current document, but that wasn't open before) that has the looked-for text in it. Attempting to close this unwanted document causes a crash error.
This has been a problem since at least CS6 if not earlier. Shocked to find it in CC.

incopy workspace bar crash
InCopy CC 13.0.1 and InDesign CC
When clicking on Character, Character style or Paragraph style the program freezes for 20 secs or more, and this bar appears. (See image)
It happens when I open a New file, as well as InDesign linked.
It disappears if I wait, and click to reset workspace. Then it returns.
I have tried reinstalling software (and switching PC off and on again)

InDesign suddenly has problems selecting the most basic things
For about the past two weeks, I've been experiencing a frustrating problem on two Mac installations of InDesign 13.1. When an object is selected and I click on a color swatch to change its color, about 30% of the time it will not take effect. If I have multiple objects selected and I click on one of those objects again, instead of assigning that object as the key object like it should, the entire group of objects moves slightly to the left. I am absolutely sure I am not moving the mouse when this happens. Also, regarding the color change…

can't load paragraph styles from another document
Potential bug in InDesign CC version 13.1:
Open a book, select a document from the list, add a paragraph style, and save. Open another document and attempt to load paragraph styles from first document.
Expect new paragraph styles to be added to the second document.
Actual result, new paragraph styles are not even listed in the dialog.

paste illustrator path
Copy/pasting a stroked path from Illustrator works OK only if the stroke is centred on the path.
If the stroke is set in Illustrator to align with inside or outside of path, inDesign pastes a closed shape. Means to get an accurate path you have to changed the stoke alignment in Illustrator, then copy/paste, then change the stroke alignment back in inDesign...

Adobe Indesign CC 2018: Export to pdf does not maintain Indesign file layers structure
Creating interactive pdf in InDesign may require controls to be placed in a strict vertical sequence.
Exporting to interactive pdf from InDesign re-orders the layers and elements within those layers. This may break the functionality of the original structure as some buttons which control the appearance of others may no longer be accessible. The structure then has to be modified in Adobe Acrobat which is time consuming and awkward to do.

Fill with Placeholder Text doesn’t automatically change the font and characters for that language when holding ⌘ and choosing that from menu
InDesign CC 2018 on macOS Mojave public Beta,
when holding down ⌘ key and choose Type-> fill w place holder text, there’s a pop up menu that you can choose which language you want to fill in, and it did fill with placeholder text, However it didn’t fill in text with that language and choosing a font that suits that language, or even ragged left if it’s Arabian language.1 voteThank you for reporting the issue.
I need more inputs from you to get to the bottom of the issue.Please confirm if the issue happens only with Mojave. Was it working fine before upgrading to Mojave?
Are CMD/opt keys working fine in other workflows?

Text Replacement
When I have text selected, I click on the box with the Font name and type out the font that I want. Then click on the font weight preference, but it just reverts back to the original font, it does not actually apply the font that I am click on in the dropdown. The only way I can choose a new font is by using my arrow keys and then hitting enter for the selection. I have a stylus so I thought maybe it's just my pen not working, but this doesn't seem to be the case because it doesn't…
