Anchored textframe with auto-sizing/auto-adjusting "height", text aligned to baseline and anchored object settings "anchored position: custom", "anchorPoint: bottom left/center/right" causes InDesign 2020 (15.0.1) to freeze (on Mac and PC).

1. create an new document (size doesn't matter)


2. create an new textframe (dimensions doesn't matter)


3. create a second textframe (dimensions doesn't matter)


4. insert some text in second generated textframe


5. select the text and apply the option "align to baseline".


6. anchor second textframe into the first created textframe


7. set anchored object settings of the anchored textframe to: "anchored position: custom" and "anchorPoint: bottom left or bottom center or bottom right"



8. select the anchored textframe




9. choose the textframe fit option "frame to content" or use the shortcut "strg + alt + c" on PC

InDesign 2020 freezes.

or repeat steps 1. to 8. and choose auto-sizing type "height" or "height and width" or "height and width proportionally" for the anchored textframe

InDesign 2020 freezes.

see attached screenshot. I can't attach a .indd or .idml file cause this is not allowed (error: invalid file type)

In previous versions (CC 2018, CC 2019) auto-adjusting "height" works as expected

The bug has been already reported, it's been claimed to be fixed in 14.0.1, but actually still persists and never was corrected.

Typing "T" just selects the type tool very briefly, then changes back to the previous tool. Clicking inside a text frame has the same result, even if you get to select some part of the text, it just changes back tot he previous tool in most of the cases. The only way to get it work, is to select the tool in the sidebar, however even there it takes several seconds to become active.

Hover Scrolling lets you interact with the dropdown menus without ever having to click on them. Sounds cool, right?

Normally, this is not a problem, because you can easily see what has been changed because you've got an object selected. But when working with conditional text, the conditional text indicator visibility is a GLOBAL setting, and thus, hover scrolling over it can change your document, even with nothing selected. And if you're not on a page with conditional text. you'd never even know that your document got changed, until you send it to print!

This has been plaguing me for over four years and there is no way to turn it off.

I write a blog article about this and have been documenting it for four years: https://indesignsecrets.com/hover-scrolling-indesign-cc-feature-bug.php

I have made a video about it here: https://youtu.be/5uBI77mothA

InDesign needs to add a preference to our off this setting. It would be so easy! There are already preferences to disable the other annoying features, like Publish Online the new start workspace, and the new document dialog box. You could put it under "Preferences > General."

Adobe, please fix this!

To place a graphicItem with text wrap, it is not an object-based indent like 2020, but a text frame-based indent before 2019.

1 Version
16.0.1(macOS10.14/10.15.6)

2 Steps to reproduce the issues
1. Make TextFrame. To places graphicItem above the textFrame and set text wrap.
2. The indent set in the textFrame does not take effect for the object for which wrap text is set like before 2019.

3 Expected result
Indent set in the textFrame does take effect for the object for which wrap text is set like 2020.
Please refer below Community article.
https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesignフォーラム/indesign2020ではできていた回り込み時のインデント設定の維持が2021ではなくなっている/m-p/11677071

4 Actual result
The indent set in the textFrame does not take effect for the object for which text wrap is set like before 2019.

When exporting a PDF with the Japanese version of InDesign for Mac, the Osaka font is used for the characters in the page information. If there are voiced or semi-voiced sound marks of Japanese characters in the file name, an error will be displayed and the characters will be garbled because Osaka does not support those characters.

1. Name the indd file "だじづでど.indd".


2. Export the PDF.


3. An error is displayed and the file name of the page information is garbled.

Osaka is no longer a very old font on the Mac. Don't use Osaka now.

Use a font that supports semi-voiced sound marks to prevent errors. Illustrator already uses KozGoPr6N-Regular to prevent errors.

Japanese:
PDFのページ情報にOsakaフォントを使わないでください

日本語版のMac版InDesignでPDFを書き出すと、ページ情報の文字にOsakaフォントが使われます。ファイル名に日本語の文字の濁音や半濁点があると、Osakaがそれらの文字に非対応なので、エラーが表示され、文字化けします。

1. inddのファイル名を「だじづでど.indd」にします。


2. PDFを書き出します。


3. エラーが表示され、ページ情報のファイル名が文字化けします。

MacではもはやOsakaはとても古いフォントです。今はOsakaを使わないでください。

半濁点に対応したフォントにして、エラーを防いでください。IllustratorはKozGoPr6N-Regularを使ってすでにエラーを防いでいます。

I'd like to report a bug. Please follow the scenario below:

1. In a single column with lots of text in it, make two columns for a fragment of text




2. In text within the two-column setup, make a footnote. Add several lines of text to the footnote




3. Turn on the "Span Footnotes Across Columns" feature so that footnote ends up in the same group with the footnotes at the bottom of the page rather than below the two-column fragment




4. Expected behaviour: normal editing can be performed after these manipulations




5. Observed behaviour: any text editing after turning on the "Span Footnotes Across Columns" feature becomes lethargic and near impossible. Turning this option off immediately solves the speed issues.

Please log a bug to fix this behaviour.

In CC2020 a new function for writing alternate text for links was introduced.
Using this function and generating a PDF Leeds to wrong PDF notation. The alt text in PDF is presented by alt text, which is forbidden in the PDF world, where alt text only should be used for non text elements, e.g. pictures. By presenting only the alt text the accessibility is lost – this is against the goal to hav a better output!
A correct output would lead to a content entry.

Note: Alt text for links is under discussion, as such alt text is not present for all users (it would be read out loud, but you can't read it) – this is not about equal access.

Thanks for fixing, this would be a good step for all people relying on accessible PDFs.

When I view a published document, the browser based navigation buttons and menu for downloading disappear after a couple seconds and don't come back without hitting F5. This is unworkable. Please change it so the nav arrows remain on the screen, even in full screen mode. I can't have my clients struggling to go to the next page. This happens in Chrome and Firefox. In Edge, they disappear, but will reappear if I move my mouse to the edge of the screen - also very frustrating because I just want to click through the document without struggling to find the arrows. This is a browser issue, NOT a document issue - this happens with ALL documents.

Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server

Adobe InDesign 15.0.1

macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

iMac 27 Zoll End 2012

Steps to reproduce the issues

See also attached video

Open Document "02VKLeerzeilenTEMPEnde.indd"
Open Data-Merge Panel
Generate a merged document with click on the button
Uncheck "Remove Blank Lines for Empty Fields" in Content Placement Options
Press [OK]
Repeat Step 3 this time Check "Remove Blank Lines for Empty Fields" in Content Placement Options
Press [OK]
Put the documents side by side
Activate "Show Style override" in the paragraph panel
Jump to page 2
On the left side (Merged Document, Blank line intact) you can see the 2 markers followed by a paragraph symbol
On the right side (Merged Document, Blank line removed) you can see that the 2 markers with paragraph symbol moved 1 line up behind the 7 and the other paragraph symbol is deleted
Everything is o.k. because the paragraph style (07padresse) of the line "Mobile" and the deleted "Blank line" are the same
Jump to page 3
On the left side you can see the 2 markers followed by a paragraph symbol
On the right side (Merged Document, Blank line removed) you can see that the 2 markers with paragraph symbol moved 1 line up and the other paragraph symbol (blue highlighted on the left side) is deleted BUT this time the paragraph style of these 2 paragraph are NOT the same! The result is a bigger gap between the two sentence "Frau Marie…" and Tel: 012…" on the right then it should be as you can see on the left

Expected result
The Blank line (2 markers and paragraph symbol) should be deleted/removed

Actual result
Instead of the Blank line (2 markers and paragraph symbol) the paragraph symbol before that (blue highlighted on the left side) is removed AND the remaining paragraph also picks up the paragraph style from the "Blank line" (if there were text in my example you could see that as well)

Workaround
You can generate a merged document with Blank lines and delete/remove them with Find/Change
Find > (markers) + paragraph symbol = <FEFF><FEFF>^p
Change > to nothing
This way everything stays intact!
