Indents not holding after page break
- InDesign CC 2018, though I logged this bug for 2017 as well. It may also have existed as far back as CS6. I had hoped it would be fixed in this release.
- Create a paragraph style that has a left indent and set text in that paragraph style. Set enough text to flow onto a second page.
- The text should retain the left indent after the page break.
- Sometimes, the first line of text after the page break does not retain the indent.

"Add all stories to assignment" doesn't include content of anchored text boxes
1) I'm using InDesign CC 2019 (14.0.2) under MacOS 10.14.6.
2) - Open an INDD document with various text boxes
- Execute Edit -> InCopy -> Add All Stories to Assignment
3) I would expect this command to include also the content of text boxes that are anchored to other text boxes.
4) However, it doesn't. The content of such text boxes is missing. However, when I go through the document and release all anchored text boxes before executing the command, it will work properly
5) I'd love to attach an indd or idml test file but these file types…1 vote -

text wrap controls behave different with transformed objects
InDesign 16.1v64
Text Wrap controls behave different with transformed objects.
At first I was going to report this as a bug and saw one other post where they were having the same issue but then I realized what is really going on so I'm making a suggestion.
Look at the Text Wrap for an Image object with the controls unlinked.
I was seeing the bottom control affecting the right side. And the Right side control affecting another side.
After some research I realized this was only happening on the images I'd imported and rotated 90 degrees.

Text variables consistently break export to fixed epub, resulting in crash.
When there are multiple text variables (say in a running foot, or TOC) the export to fixed epub causes InDesign to crash. When the variables are resolved to actual text, the export works fine. I tried this in InDesign 14.0.2 and also in the Beta Build (14.0.3.407) with the same (crash) result.

appliedLanguage property of text-related objects returns language from application, not document
When I do configuration for a language in a document, such as setting doubleQuotes, this language can be found in the document object's list of languages and has a different id than the language with the same name in the application object's list.
But when I access text inside the document – regardless what I inspect, paragraph, words, character, textStyleRange – I expect to get the language properties as set in the document, but instead I get those as set in the app.
I believe this to be a software bug.
More information as well as a workaround can…

Character style based running header text variable does not pick up character styles applied by nested line styles
As with Grep styles the text variable character style is not found when it is created using Nested Line Styles. This means I have to use normal nested styles and add end nested style markers into the text. Not ideal or as fully automatic as I would like.

Request: import of conditions of conditional text when placing an INDD
When placing an INDD in another document, layers of the placed INDD are imported, so content in the placed INDD can be hidden or unhidden. The same doesn't work with conditional text, but the principle is the same. Hide/unhide text, for instance in a table, by switching conditions. Handling this by using layers is possible, but way more effortive.

Accessible PDF Alternative Text Fail When Object Set to Multiply
InDesign 14.0.2
When an object is set to "multiply" in Effects and exported to Interactive PDF, there is a Alternative Text fail reported when running Accessibility Full Check. When the "multiply" effect is removed, there is a clean report. Please fix.
Attached are both the original file (with multiply on) and the PDF generated. If you remove multiply, it works.

Adobe Review: automatic adoption of text suggestions and incorrect filter behavior
When I receive comments on replacing text or deleting text sections via Adobe Review and these are displayed in Adobe InDesign 20.0, the display switches to comments with the status clarified. After each correction, which cannot be accepted with approval but must be made manually, I have to set the filter in the control panel back to unresolved comments to work on.
It would be desirable for a filter to only be set in the control panel when I activate it. I would also like options for inserting, replacing or deleting text to be applied with a click and not…1 vote -

When Find/Change Dialog Box is open, arrow keys move entire text box instead of cursor
- Indesign 16.3.2 on macOs Mojave
- When i find a word using find/change it gets highlighted. I try to add a punctuation mark after that word and tab the right arrow key.
- Arrow key should just move the cursor in text box, next to the highlighted text.
- It moves entire text box as if the text box is selected.

Border style bottom is being applied twice to the same text.
This is a message for all the adobe indesign programmers, before adding new features can you at least fix all the bugs in this program!
I use the border feature a lot but lately it's been bugger than usual. I have a piece of text that has a border right and bottom. Under it I have another piece of text with the same settings and both have merge borders turned on. Please look at screenshot and tell him what the **** is going on! There is only 2 blocks of text but it's giving me 4 borders!

Unable to drag & drop images within text frame through custom plugin on Indesign CC2020
We have a custom plugin, we are using this plugin since Indesign CS4. We have an option to drag & drop images from this plugin pallet into Indesign Layout. With the latest CC2020 SDK, we have upgraded our plugin from CC18 to CC2020 & it works fine on all other functionality except "Drag & drop" within text frame.
We didn't made any update to the code, the same option works fine till CC2019. Is there any known issue with CC2020 sdk for drag & drop?

[ID-4253057]Autonumbering in Hide Spreads is not working for Text Variables -> Insert Variable -> Last Page Number
Text variable "Last page number" does not update with Hide Spread.
With the newest update hiding spreads works automatically updates the pagination. This does not however change the "Last page number" variable. I often use this for screen presentations to display page X/X.
This seems like a simple oversight in the update, but would be nice to have fixed.
