ID 13.1 – no longer accepts mp4 media format?
InDesign 13.1
EXISTING mp4s placed in ID file (for viewing in exported Interactive PDF) no longer work (link not found (yellow triangle), and then when manually re-linked, link shows error in palette (red circle question mark).
Trying to place NEW mp4s, and although file(s) can be found, nothing is placed. Have googled and found nothing.
Updates to CC appear to have happened overnight, and I didn't have any issues last week.

Unable to create text anchor from text with an apostrophe in it.
Anytime I create a text anchor out of a piece of copy with an apostrophe in it (ex. What's New) and use it as the destination for a button or hyperlink, the interactive PDF does not redirect to the anchor. My workaround has been to select everything but the word with the apostrophe in it, but I would love to see this fixed in the next version.

Alt text transposition issue with book files
I'm using a book file to organize a number of interactive forms.
When I export out the forms as interactive PDFs, the alt text that was designated in the "button and forms" panel for that form field sometimes gets switched out for alt text that is used in another form if the fields share the same name. This happens on export whether I use the"Export book to PDF" option in the book panel or I use the "File" option export (ctrl+E keyboard shortcut).
The alt text remains correct in the InDesign file and only gets switched out upon export.

mergeRecords() breaks InDesign Server CC 2018
Reference two forum posts:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52388399/indesign-server-crashing-on-data-merge
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2536427Posting as bug for the following reasons:
1) Nobody seems to know why it's happening
2) The script executes successfully with InDesign Desktop, but Server crashes (not just an error, full on stops).
4) It's the only method that crashes InDesign Server I've found. I'm able to perform frame creation, image placement, find / replace, export PDF, etc... which leads me to conclude it's not an issue with my installation.
3) Tested on 3 different computersThe following .jsx will crash InDesign Server (replace paths with any of your own merging document files):

Placed illustrator .ai color dodge layers in Indesign don't display/print correctly
Placing .ai stock files which have soft 'color dodge' layer highlights display and print as hard masks in Indesign. The solution I've found is re-saving the file as an EPS. Attached is a sample image (.ai on left, .eps on right).

text
I am having text problems when regular text is near an image and the text which is within the boundary box of the image then text prints out bold. It does not appear bold on screen and the font is definetly regular but ive done some test and where the boudnary image box over hangs into text it then prints out bold mid word or wherever the image boudnary box is. This happens on psd images which have been deppetched and have no background.

InDesign CS6 Hangs with customized plug-ins

Our company develops InDesign plug-ins as our product. Now we have a hanging problem when dealing with one InDesign document. The problem happens on both Windows and macOS.

Clippingpath inset
I don't really know if its a bug or a feature:
If I set an inset for a clippingpath (made in Photoshop) by for example 3mm, it sets the inset based on the scaling of the image. Means: if my image is scaled by 50% the inset will only be 1,5mm. As I have a document with multiple scale ratios it is not possible to maintain a coherent inset amount.
I use the clipping-path frame to generate a cutting contours for stickers which all have to have a specific inset to avoid "blank streaks".

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?
