1. objects in a page disappear when reapplying master page to that page

   INDD v18.2.1
   this is a new bug in CC

   On a page, when re-applying the same master page (e.g parent A) to it, all text frame box will disappear. Why do I wanna reapply the same master page to it? Because sometimes the text box is moved by accident, so I re-apply the master page so that it will go back to the original position. It used to work in order versions of INDD. Not anymore.

   Is this a bug or a feature that no longer exist? Please fix. thank you.

2. Can't apply colour swatches in swatches pallette

   Indesign version 20.0.1
   Mac OS Sequoia 15.1.1

   Steps:
   1. Create or open a document
   2. Create or select any text box or picture box
   3. Select any colour in the Swatches panel
   4. The colour swatch will hilite for a second when clicked, but then deselects and the colour is NOT applied to the object
   5. Same is true for text: Cannot apply any colour to text using the Swatches panel.
   6. Using the "Color" panel however does allow you to apply colours using CMYK or other spaces.

   Additional Notes:
   - Already tried manually deleting caches and preference files from user library
   - Already tried command-option-control-shift while starting Indesign to delete preferences
   - Rebooted Mac several times and also zapped PRAM
   - Only started happening today (I think Indesign was auto-updated by CC)

4. Bad interact: Keep Lines Together & Start Paragraph in Next Frame, not working at Threaded Auto-Size (height) Text Frames

   Working on InDesign CC2018 in Windows7.
   When having threaded two (or more) auto-sizing (height only) text frames, and typing in the first of them, at the end of first line the cursor jumps to the next frame. No auto-size, no keeping lines of the paragraph together.

5. drop shadow issues

   Hello!

   I'm trying to do an A3 poster with two layers:
   Layer one: A rectangle a white-black gradient fill and some line option and drop shadow applied.
   Layer two: Some text frames with white text with black strokes.

   When I add drop shadow to the text it looks just as intended on screen.

   But when I print it out on a big, expensive Samsung X7600 Series printer, I get a kind of gradient color in bottom of text frames. As if I had applied some color to the frame.
   (Please see the attached file "indd cc print screen".)

   I have made sure to just apply shadow to text in the effects dialogue.

   It does'nt seem to matter what changes I do.
   The printed result is the same as in the attached file "printed scanned".

   Same error when I export to pdf.

   Why, but why!?

   What am I doing wrong?

   I'm using Indesign CC, ver. 13.0.1 x64 on PC. Swedish.

   Very thankful for some help!
   And please forgive my english spelling.

   Regards!

   Thomas,
   Sweden

6. Arabic Diacritics move to unwanted places if you use an Index Marker in the same line

   1. Adobe InDesign CC 14.0 (Middle Eastern version -- English يدعم العربية)

   2. a. Type this Arabic text: شَيْء غريب

   3. b. Create new Index entry for the second word: غريب

   4. The Diacritics should stay as they were.

   5. Diacritic of the second letter (يْ) goes somewhere else.

7. Running head containing forced line break inserts space incorrectly

   When a Running Head text variable is generated, under certain (common) conditions, a double-space is inserted where a forced linebreak is used.

   To reproduce bug:

   1. Insert a Running Head text variable into a master page running head position.

   2. Specify the first instance of, say, Level-One paragraph style.

   3. In a multi-page text flow, insert a Level-One styled paragraph with enough text to force a line wrap.

   4. Within the Level-One paragraph, insert a Forced Line Break (FLB) character.

   5. Scroll text back and forth to force update of the text variable display.

   Result: On the page containing the Level-One paragraph, the running head will display a space where the FLB would be. On subsequent pages, the running head variable is expanded with NO space in that position.

   If you ADD a space in the Level-One paragraph, before or after the FLB, the first instance of the Running Head variable will contain TWO spaces, and subsequent instances will contain only ONE space.

   Thus, there is no viable work-around for this bug.

   I have attached a file illustrating the problem in a Spread layout. Note that if the first instance of the Level-One style is on the left-hand page (and the running head is on the right-hand page), the problem does not occur.

8. When changing (only) the color in the character style the text is changing from place

   When changing (only) the color in the character style the text is changing from place. Indesign version 16.4.2, MacOs Mojave 10.14.6
   When I do this by hand there is no problem. For me this is a huge problem because it is the link color in my whole document.
   I am a user of Indesign from the beginning (1.0). I looked and tryed many things and it was never a problem. Hope you can help!

10. Font lost when pasting text to ID 2018 from updated Excel for Mac 2016

    InDesign CC 2018
    Mac OS High Sierra and Mac OS El Capitan
    Excel Mac 2016 updated

    Font family used in inDesign document is not found after pasting table text from Excel file (a process that has been used successfully for some years) . First happened in High Sierra, and thinking it was the OS update that caused it, I reinstalled El Capitan. Tested the copy/paste using a newly installed version of Office without updating it, and had no problem. Updated Excel and the problem returned.

11. adjustLayout Doesn't work when used in an Extendscript

    In InDesign 2014 I used Document.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.enableLayoutAdjustment to make text boxes and images adjust to new measurements of a page and it worked pretty well.

    In InDesign 2019 I understand it has been replaced with Document.adjustLayoutPreferences.enableAdjustLayout and I can trigger it with my script but it doesn't work as before - text boxes and images remains on the original place.

    If I use the function manually, without scripting, it works fine, text and images adjusts to the new measurements.

12. Fonts not previewing correctly when choosing different font from menu

    Running InDesign v19.0, but had exactly the same issue in previous versions -

    If I want to swap out an existing font for a new one in a text block in my project, the font does not preview instantaneously or correctly when I am scrolling through the Character menu. Sometimes, the font disappears completely, leaving only black blocks to preview. When I press return the text block does update to the new font but not being able to live preview is making it extremely hard to make design decisions and also see if the chosen font will fit the space assigned in that particular font style. Two examples of my problem below.

13. Missing strikethrough, replace text, and highlight options on share for review web link

    We're using the public (with password) share for review option for our annual report because we didn't want one-time reviewers to have to make an account.

    I thought that's why I was only seeing the draw and thumbtack options on the online review. But after updating InDesign the options appeared today. And then they disappeared again and I can't get them to come back.

    I hope this feature can be fixed. It was so much easier to make the updates from the comments then emailed edits and scans of people markups that they PDF'd.

    We had one other issue before, but I don't know it it's been fixed. My boss wanted me to start the review even though we were missing content in the middle of the report.

    When the middle info was added, the comments for pages after the middle section were marked on the middle pages. For example, a comment on page 25 stayed on page 25 even though the text was now on page 30.

14. V 20.0 Bugs

    Text box content disappearing. Only will reappear after box is moved or typed in. Some content may appear and some will not be visible until box is moved again. This happens often when typing or deleting text.
    Also, now I only have 2 undos. History only shows two items.
    Just updated to 20.0 and these issues occurred right after. Please fix!

    Does this happen after creating or opening documents or both?

    What are the steps you have performed which are not there in History?

15. Adjust layout without resizing anchored objects

    With the Adjust Layout feature activated, if I resize the margins of a page or apply a master page with different margins, anchored objects on the page end up getting resized. I have even had some anchored objects disappear completely (although the anchors are still there). I want to be able to adjust the main text frame on a page to the new margins WITHOUT changing the anchored objects, which are part of the text flow and should not be changed.

    For example, in designing a book, I want to apply a certain master page to pages with chapter headings. But if there is an image or graphic anchored in the text below the chapter title, that will also get resized when the master page is applied. This is not what I want, and it creates a lot more work rather than making things easier. Could there be an option to leave anchored objects alone when adjusting the layout? Thank you.

18. When I share to review, weird things happen

    I have InDesign 15.1.1 and I've been using the new Share to Review feature often. I've noticed that my text and tables would completely disappear on random pages and the Table of Contents became messed up as well. To make the text reappear, I had to adjust the size of the frame by a pixel or two then it would return. It didn't matter if I made the frame bigger or smaller.

19. InDesign 14.0.3 document Missing/Invisible text and photos

    I am using Indesign v. 14.0.3 on a mac with High Sierra 10.13.6.

    I save my projects regularly the whole time I'm working, so it's not a saving issue. Everything was there when I saved and closed the project before this.

    I've been working on a project layout for over two weeks now. Last night I was putting the final version together when it started slowing down, taking a long time to move an item, etc. I saved my project and closed Indesign. I reopened after a while hoping the glitch had time to resolve itself.

    When I open the project now, whole pages are blank. However, everything still shows in the Layers panel as being on the page(s). When I select the item, either it shows me the bounding box but not the text, or it shows me the linked file box with nothing in it, or it shows that the selected item is located in the center seam of the spread with no way to select or move or recover it.

    I really don't want to have to recreate a 32-page catalog on its due date. I have not had a single issue with Indesign on this project until this happened last night.

    Just spent almost 3 hours on Chat with Adobe - multiple steps and hoops - and still no change, no resolution of the issue. The final step? Recreate the document. So, 75-100 hours of work - just recreate it. 24 hours before my deadline.

    So frustrated.

20. Font issue inDesign 2023

    I'm getting a font issue when I use 2023. If I go back to 2022 the issues disappears. The font is loading fine in both versions. Any idea why this is happening?
