When dragging a new ruler guide, it disappears after deselecting it. This only occurs when you've placed it on a major gridline.

Lao Line Breaking punctuation issues
When I work with Lao text, punctuation marks do not stay with the line they belong to. As you can see in this attached file, the question mark is on the line AFTER the sentence. This happens even when there is enough space for it to be on the previous line. I have found this issue with other characters such as parenthesis marks as well.

Pressing T on the keyboard makes the type tool activate, but only for a second before it switches back to the previous tool.
Running Indesign 15.0.2, so this issue was not fixed as stated in a previous thread.

Tagged and other accessibility features not working properly in v15
It's not consistent, but a variety of issues often occur when exporting tagged files for 508 compliant PDFs. I often have to backsave to v.14 and all works fine in that. Sometimes I will get a pdf that has artifacts or other elements that have different tags than those assigned in the InDesign file. Sometimes I get urls that won't read on the read aloud function. Sometimes things work fine. It's happened often enough that it seems to warrant attention.

Power Efficiency
Since I've moved to working remotely entirely, I've noticed how quickly using several Adobe programs burns through my laptop battery. I'm running a brand new 16" Macbook Pro with the latest MacOS Catalina version, and I'm lucky if I get an hour and a half of battery life while running InDesign and Illustrator at the same time. When I review what is using the most battery life, my Mac lists InDesign, Illustrator, and Core Sync as the main culprits.
Now, I understand that these programs at times are fairly graphically intensive, but the battery life I'm getting is absymal, and…

jittery cursor
My Indesign cursor flickers and is jittery when I have Photoshop running in the background. I'm running Catalina 10.15.4 on a 27" iMac Retina 5K. Never experienced this problem before this week.

Increase the size (thickness) of the ruler guides
Hi,
Give the possibility to increase the size (thickness) of the ruler guides (all the time / when hovering over the ruler guides or using a shortcuts). This would be present in the software preferences. It's not always easy to see them well. Thanks.
Bye.

freezing
I use InDesign 15.0.2 on Win 10 and it constantly freezes / crashes. Or on and off complains that certain Adobe fonts are missing. Opening and closing the file restores the fonts.
E.g. when I open my file and try to change a stroke color InDesign freezes.
InDesign is basically useless.Hope you can give me a solution to fix this.
3 votesTo 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.

Problème fonction assemblage
Avec in Design 15.0.2, lors de l’assemblage d’un fichier : je n’arrive plus à avoir un dossier complet qui regroupe la mise en page , le dossiers de polices et les liens : les liens (images et logos) du fichier ne sont pas intégrés dans le dossier Link alors que tout est bien liés dans la mise en page (les images ne sont pas manquantes).
Le problème n'existe pas avec la version précédente.
Pouvez-vous m'aider ?

display artifact
Viewing this document, which is still in draft form, the bleed area contains a dark gray horizontal line across the top and a larger dark gray rectangle near the top of the right-hand side. There are no unseen objects in the design that could be causing this.

Adobe 2020 build 15.0.2 - loses installed fonts
When working with InDesign 2020, fonts that are installed on the system, go missing especially if I either export some pages as a PDF, or package the file. If I quit InDesign and restart, InDesign finds the fonts and I can work with the document until I do another PDF export or package the file.
I never had this problem with InDesign 2019 and earlier. It just started with InDesign 2020 and build 15.0.2.3 votes -
InDesign Script - find/replace - store in a variable what is in "find what", "find format"
Tested in InDesign, any from CC to CC2020.
I was needed a script which can store whatever is there in one or more variables the following:
- the format from "find format",
- the format from "change format".
The code below doesn't works if the paragraph (character) style is in a group style.var currFindPrefs = app.findGrepPreferences.properties;
var currChangePrefs = app.changeGrepPreferences.properties;
//do something
//reset preferences
app.findGrepPreferences.properties = currFindPrefs;
app.changeGrepPreferences.properties = currChangePrefs;
The variables can't store the style that are in group styles.
Only those that are outside of any group.Please see attached Image.
Thanks!3 votes -
In Design 15.0.2 freezes up and is extremely slow
It takes quite a while to do simple things like create a text box, move the boxes around, cutting and pasting, moving from the selection tool to the type tool, etc. It will even freeze up moving from page to page. It takes forever to get any work done. Please help!

Workspace not showing at startup (indesign 2020 v 15.0.2)
Issue with the workspace not loading or not showing at startup. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Today i tried opening photoshop first and then after that indesign opened correctly. Adobe claimed to have this issue resolved by version 14.0.3. That means either it has never been resolved or it returned in this version.

Indesign crashes after copying text
Indesign crashes immediately after copying text. It seems that this only happens with formatted text. If I separate the text box from the paragraph format, I can copy the text. But that is very time consuming and annoying. When I open Indesign again, it crashes immediately. And when I finally managed to open the file again and click on "Paragraph format" in the sidebar, Indesign freezes. The bug has occurred since the last 2-3 versions of Indesign and I hope that the bug will be fixed with every new one. Unfortunately, this did not happen.

lowercase u key not working in text frames
version 15.0.02
I am not able to type a regular "u" in text frames. I can copy and paste a lowercase u, I can Shift+U to make an uppercase U, but I cannot use caps lock to make an uppercase U.
When I do press the u key, the line reverts back to the Basic Paragraph formatting, but I'm not able to find any shortcut that refers to this.
I hope that is understandable.
