Beim Veröffentlichen von doppelseitigen Dokumenten "verschwinden" Teile auf der linken Seite. Bei einer erneuten Veröffentlichung sind jeweils andere Teile "verschwunden". Gibt es da eine Lösung?
When publishing double-sided documents, parts on the left side "disappear". When publishing again, other parts "disappear". Is there a solution?

Indesign 2020 doesn't convert older InDesign files so they are useable
When I open older InDesign files (pre-2019) in 2020, the program hangs and I get the spinny wheel and have to force quit. It also doesn't load italic version of system font Palatino. The workaround is to open them in 2019, why can't 2020 open older files properly?

Accessibility-Tag Z order issue while using custom bullets
When we use custom bullets for bullet list, the reading order tag is not properly exported to PDF. We are getting an unwanted space between the custom bullet and the text and that too reading order got reversed. We are not getting such issue while using InDesign default bullet list. Please refer the attached screenshot with reading order enabled.

Updated to Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6 yesterday and now inDesign 15.1.1 is so slow that's it's almost unusable.
Have tried three different inDesign files and each minor change or new page view produces the progress wheel for a full minute. I can't work like this. Please help.

Hyperlink causing InDesign to crash
I have an issue in a file that I'm working with where if I scroll to a certain point in the hyperlink panel, my entire InDesign program crashes. I've tried deleting all of the hyperlinks one-by-one, and I noticed that it always crashes when I reach the same point (about 2/3rds down the list).
I think there's a hyperlink that's become an issue within the file, and whenever InDesign tries to show that specific one within the hyperlink panel, it crashes.

Paragraph bottom border overlaps the text
As I mentioned here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/paragraph-bottom-border-overlaps-the-text/m-p/11348398?page=1 the issue occurs when I set a paragraph style with a border and additionally anchor a text frame at the end of it. The border overlaps each time changes to text are made (additional lines, adding a page, deleting a page – everything that causes the flow of the text).
Some similar issue was reported here https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/38784706-footnotes-in-paragraph-borders-style by swapan.
InDesign version ID 2020 15.1.1 and PR Installer (15.1.2.221) on Windows 10. The problem occurs since I have started using a combination paragraph border + anchored text frame (more than 8 month ago). For testing I created totally new files with demo content (Lorem ipsum) and totally new styles created inside the new files. The preferences were reset.
It is easy to manage it manually when you have a single file and only one paragraph bordered. Making any change inside the paragraph adjust the bottom border. But when you have a book with over 30 files with over 30 problematic frames, it is hard to manage it.

Image Zoom Feature for Publishing
Would love the ability to create simple zoom options for exporting images. For example in Epub format for viewing in iBooks on the Mac. It is very difficult to see some of the smaller images after publishing and iBooks will not let you zoom.
When utilizing multiple images, it would be great to be able set up a simple way to make images interactive so that they can be zoomed into or popped up in a larger format for viewing.

Books documents styles - shared without syncing
Manually syncing styles between documents is clunky and prone to error.
Styles for a book should be centrally definable, and accessible by individual documents. There should be a single source for paragraph, character, table, cell styles as well as footnote/endnote options.

File Info box not displaying CC2020 15.1.1
File Info box not displaying when trying to add metadata. CC2020 15.1.1, Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5, external Dell monitor. I have tried reopening and overwriting preference files then restart. I have tried deleting library cache for cc15 and then restart. I have disconnected external monitor and restarted. Only solution has been to reopen as cc2019 doc and add there, but some clients make additional changes in 2020 and send back so I still have same issue. I keep having to force quit to get program to restart each time I try and open file info.
I saw someone had issue in 2019, but no responses had been noted. Mine DOES work in 2019, but bugs in 2020, so I try not to use it.File Info box not displaying when trying to add metadata.

Round Picture Frame with Inner Stroke Leaks
Using a circular Image Frame with an Inner Stroke, let some of the placed graphics (in this case an .ai) leak outside.
This makes it useless, and causes the need to add extra elements to cover the artifacts.
It is visible in both InDesign preview (High Quality) and the exported .pdf.

Script/Application/JS/Place MultiPage PDF
When you import a file with a password ID requires password for each page of document.
I think that should be correct to insert password only for the first page.

Not able to work on more than one document in InDesign 2020 on Windows 10
Folks,
Please vote if you have the same issue:I can't work anymore on more than one packaged doc containing 'Document fonts' folder in each package in InDesign 15.1.1.
Moving frames, selecting text in the frames or switching between two (blank) docs causes an unacceptable huge delay what makes efficient work impossible.Performance got worse and worse since 15.02 / 15.03 / 15.1 already. Removed ID completely, as well any plug-ins or font management software. Bug occurs on three independent Win10 machines using 15.1.1.
I'm currently working on ID 15.01 which is the only version I can work in still fluently.Temporary solution:
Renaming or moving one of the 'document fonts' folders enables fluent work on the fly, hiding control panel in ID too. As soon ID accesses fonts in the document fonts folder the issue occurs, no matter what font is used.
Definitely located that the bug is related to this folder only.Please replicate on your end creating two new packaged files.

[UI] Edit in Textmode – window won't open
When opening the "Edit in Textmode" / "Im Textmodus bearbeiten" (cmd + Y) the window will not show up.
I have tested this on several macs in our company with different kind of additional monitor setups or no extra monitor attached.
InDesign Version 15.1.1
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take what ever textframe you want => Cmd + Y or rightclick "Im Textmodus bearbeiten" / "Edit in Textmode"
2. The Window will not show up and you might think it is broken...
3. It shows up when you go to New => Page for example (Or probably update the UI in any way? not sure - did not test much further but this works)Screenrecording attached

Indesign 15.1.1 crashing when placing an AI file
Indesign 15.1.1 crashes every time when trying to place an AI file of a map that was originally exported from ArcGIS. Maps are complex, but I have never had a problem placing them before this update.

rectangle frame tool
The large X in the frame has disappeared when using the rectangular frame tool. Is this a preference issue or a change to the basic functionality of InDesign? I would really like to be able to use it again. It made my work a lot easier.
