[15.0.2.323] Big problem with unrecognized user dictionaries
macOS 10.14.6 - multiple computers with us and with customers
We noticed today that extensive user dictionaries are recognized as such by the existing documents, but InDesign (current version) completely ignores them and thus incorrectly hyphens them.
In a special case, a very extensive user dictionary is linked as a symlink (alias) from the Dropbox into the corresponding Linguistics folder in Application Support / Adobe. So far, this worked wonderfully with all versions and has the advantage that adjustments are automatically distributed correctly via the Dropbox.
I tried the following:

Develop Publish Online for more than one "owner"
We use your Publish Online function for our white papers, published online on our web. We love a lot about the function BUT there is some important functions we struggle with:
- Only the owner of the PDF can edit in the published version. We have a team of designers and become dependent on one of them.
- The PDF is not responsive to other devices
- Statistics can only be viewed/monitored by the owner, often the designer not the functions that necessary needs this insights.
Would love if you can develop these functions futher so we can stay Adobe-based!
Thank you!

Source Sans Pro latest version's properties have changed
The latest version of Source Sans pro (version 3.006) appears to start lower down text frames than the previous version did which messes up months worth of existing projects. When I go to edit the copy, it all shifts down the text box by a few millimetres.
In the attached image you can see two of the same text boxes - one is correct, and one has shifted down due to the font updating.
I've spoken with InDesign support who said to log the issue here.
As a temporary fix I have downloaded version 2.040 of the font from Github…

Poor performance with placed InDesign documents
When placing a really large dimensioned InDesign document into a smaller document the performance of that smaller document is crippled to the point where it becomes unusable, especially when there are many placed InDesign documents.
To test:
Create 4 different InDesign documents that are 3600 x 2580mm in size.
Create an A4 booklet with 4 pages.
Place a different one of the larger InDesign documents on each page of the A4 booklet.
Try and navigate from the first page to the last page of the A4 document.3 votes -

InDesign help/welcome screen
I don't like the fact that the, what looks like a "welcome screen" always pops up after closing InDesign work page. I was told it it's a UI of the application.
Please find a way for us to turn that off. I find it annoying and not helpful during my work day.3 votes -
Color font printing in muted colors in pdf/print
There are some issues with the rendering/printing of color-fonts (created with Fontself) in InDesign 2020. This looks like a bug because switching from pdf 1.6 to pdf 1.3 and back to 1.6 in the pdf export dialog-box solves the issue. This isn't an option in our InDesign server setup though. Are there any ideas for a workaround?

"Fit frame to content" doesn't work anymore after a lot of pages in file
Working on a catalogue, a lot of files in a book. The "fit frame to content" works good until after a lot of pages (I think after 50 or 60 pages) suddenly it doesn't work anymore. With a textframe & also tableframe. But with an image it still works...
Also very change, when you split the textframe in for example 2, on the second textframe it will work (fit frame to content).
All the fit options don't work for text & tableframes.
The right-click and choose the option don't work and also the shortcut doesn't work.2 other colleagues have…

"Edit Page Size" drop down list; each entry duplicated
When using the "Edit Page Size" button/drop down on the Pages panel, the list of page sizes has begin showing duplicate entries, and I'm not sure why. It seems to have started out of nowhere.
To select an item in the list, you can see in the screenshot that each entry is doubled, and sometimes the "top" item is the correct one to click, other times it is the "bottom" item. In each pairing, one of them does nothing when selected.
I've attached an image to show what I mean.3 votes -
