1. Spellcheck

   Spellcheck in InDesign 2020 build 15.0.2 doesn't work. It acts like it is working, but it never finds any misspellings. I noticed it yesterday when I sent an article to the proof reader and it came back with errors InDesign should have detected. I purposely put in misspellings, but InDesign found no spelling mistakes.

   To identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received an email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.

   We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding: Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.

   We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2021(v16.0.0.77) as it is more robust and contains a lot of bug fixes.

   We seek your support in our continual effort to improve InDesign.

4. 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.

6. Non Breaking Space is smaller than regular space when text is full justified with Adobe World ready Paragraph Composer

   1. Adobe InDesign Middle Eastern Version, 2019-2020

   Non Breaking Space is smaller than regular space when text is full justified with Adobe World ready Paragraph Composer

   1. Steps to reproduce the issues
      2.1 Create a paragraph with some lines
      2.2. Define it with: Paragraph pannel>Justification>Composer>Adobe World Ready Paragraph Composer
      2.3 Full justify the Paragraph and change one space to non breaking space.

   2. Expected result
      Non breaking space should be the same width like all the spaces in the same line.

   3. Actual result
      Non Breaking Space is smaller than regular space in the same line

   4. Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)

   There is no workaround unless the document is not in Hebrew and then you can choose the Adobe paragraph Composer instead of the World ready Paragraph composer.

7. File name editor in book tool

   It would be incredibly useful if you could use the book editor panel to be able to rename the underlying file. For instance, just before I finalise a textbook, I would like to be able to put chapters numbers in as a prefix to each file.

   At the moment, I have to remove "all" the files from the book. Or rename the files after closing InDesign. Then I patch up the book by using the resultant errors to remind me of which file goes in which sequence in the book. This process is very time consuming and unnecessary, considering the amount of synching this triggers.

   Kind regards

9. Extra, unwanted details appearing in paragraph styles (borders and shading)

   Full details posted here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/InDesign/Paragraph-Styles-including-paragraph-border-and-paragraph/m-p/10741537#M162568

   When I copy a paragraph style from another document, OR copy styled text, and then attempt to edit the paragraph style, elements related to paragraph borders and paragraph shading suddenly appear in the paragraph style. This happens even though paragraph borders and shading are turned OFF. I suppose it's not affecting the style, because it's not turning them on, but they style is overly cluttered and messy and is mucking up our shared group template.

   I'm working primarily in CC2018, but also replicated the problem in CC2020.

   I've tried a clean install of software, as well as deleting caches/prefs.

12. Ungrouping deletes all items

    Using Adobe InDesign CC up-to-date on a PC running Windows 10.

    1. Ungrouped group of text boxes + image boxes.
    2. All text in boxes disappeared but outlines remained. However in the layers you could see that they were deleted.

    Strangely enough, by deleting a different hidden layer, I could ungroup the group and they would not be deleted.

    Definitely the weirdest InDesign bug I've seen to date.

    Any help would be appreciated!!

13. Index entries lost when importing a .docx file with text frames into InDesign

    InDesign version: CC 2018
    MS Word version: 2013

    When I import a .docx file that uses text boxes/text frames/shapes into InDesign, most of the index entries within the .docx file is lost. When I import the same .docx file after removing all the shapes, all index entries remain intact.
    I've attached reference .docx and .indd files so that you can see what I mean. The .docx file (loremipsumindex.docx) has five index entries, that are lost when imported to InDesign (loremipsumindex.indd). On removing the text box from the .docx file (loremipsumindexwotxtbox.docx), the index entries are imported properly (loremipsumindexwotxtbox.indd).
    My assumption is that this is an InDesign bug. Let me know if there's a fix for this.

14. Placed vector graphics show as low-resolution previews on export of book to pdf

    In InDesign 14.0.2 on macOS 10.14.6, when an InDesign indd file containing placed vector graphics (PDF or Illustrator files) is part of an InDesign book, and the entire book is exported to PDF, some graphics in the PDF show as low-resolution previews.

    Steps to reproduce the issue:
    Create two or more InDesign files with placed vector PDFs, and save and close them.
    Add these InDesign files to an InDesign Book file.
    Export the Book as a PDF.

    Expected result:
    Placed vector PDFs show as vector graphics in the exported PDF.

    Actual result:
    Some placed vector PDFs show as low-resolution previews in the exported PDF.

    See attached file. Note that in the PDF the bar chart on the second page is a low-resolution preview, even though the file is correctly linked in the source InDesign file. This PDF export was made from the InDesign book file with both InDesign files closed.

15. Renaming an object layer by double-clicking is tedious - sometimes non-responsive

    When working with layers, select an object, then double click the name to rename, it takes multiple clicks and a delay of several seconds before the name field becomes editable. Why? I don't see any other way to rename the object layer.

16. character styles in Table of Contents

    Not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

    It is a best practice, if you use running headers, to apply a character style to a selected subset of a heading, for example, HeadText1 for a first-level heading, and HeadText2 for a second-level heading, so that the header just shows basically a short title for the heading. You define the header to contain two text variables, first Heading1 that picks up, for example, the first instance of the text marked with HeadText1, and Heading2 that picks up the last instance of HeadText2. Works great, and I have a post at https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2602190 that shows how to do this. (HeadText1 and HeadText2 character styles apply nothing but the name, they don't change the text at all; they are just to tell the headers which subset of the Heading1 or Heading1 to put into the header at the top of the page.)

    The problem is that when you generate a Table of Contents, the header will pick up HeadText2 and insert in the header, as the entries in the Table of Contents all have the HeadText1 and HeadText2 character styles. While keeping character styles is a good default… people might want to keep them in the Table of Contents… there should be a checkbox for "strip character styles" for documents where you are using this best practice for running headers.

    See: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2628881

17. Disappearing objects

    I'm finding several of my indesign documents now have this lovely helpful trait where random objects dissappear and reappear off the page depending on zoom or moving other objects near it making it near unusable as a program unless I waste time copying and pasting everything on to a new document. Sort it out adobe this program should NOT have this level of bug at v14!

19. Email Hyperlinks Not Responding in Published Online File

    I have a document that contains some email hyperlinks throughout it. I set up the hyperlinks with the link to "email" option, and then the address as the destination. Creating a "mailto:xyz@xyz.com" link.

    After publishing online, when the links are clicked on, it takes the page to a "could not connect" page and does not respond correctly. BUT all email links work completely fine when copied and pasted, right click and opened up in a new tab, when clicking directly from an exported PDF, when clicking from the downloaded PDF from the published online document, etc. It's only from the direct link/web version of the published online.

    When you hover over it, the link in the bottom left shows displays "mailto:xyz40%xyz.com". Showing 40% instead of the @. I have read other forums and articles discussing this and saying that is a glitch in Adobe that can potentially cause problems at times. Which may be the root of my problem, may not be.

    I have also read about the workaround of this and I have tried changing my hyperlink from a link to "email" to an "URL" link, with the "mailto:" as the URL. That does eliminate the 40% mumbo jumbo I see in the bottom left, but the same problem occurs. Link does not work when clicking directly online from published version. Works fine all other ways. It's odd and very frustrating.

20. Footnote marker is replaced with an unknown character if preceded by a character with a specific Unicode pattern

    Footnote marker is replaced with an unknown character if preceded by a character with a specific Unicode pattern. Unicode pattern is U+##1a. Here are some of those characters:

    U+011a
    U+021a
    U+031a
    U+041a
    U+051a
    U+061a
    U+071a
    U+081a

    You could try the attached test file for placement in to an InDesign document. Unicode of the character following the footnote marker is : U+011a

    This happen when file format of the file is either RTF or DOC. Its not a issue with DOCX.
