IDS on Windows: Extreme slowness in ExtendScript execution via SOAP connection (with weird workaround)SETUP - IDS Server 14.0.3.433 running on Windows Server 2019 (build 17763.864) 
- Local connection using "sampleclient.exe" 
- Two test scripts (attached): 
 Slow script: "adobe-ids-win-slow.js" (approx 275 KB in size)
 Fast script: "adobe-ids-win-fast.js" (approx 275 KB in size)
 PROBLEM There are two scripts to compare. They are both of identical size, does nothing but declare a variable and return a string value. However, while execution of one of the scripts take a fraction of a second, the other script typically runs for > 10 seconds before completing. TESTS AND OBSERVATIONS 1) This takes excessive time to run (typically 13 seconds on my test… 1 vote

Line not staying putHi all, I updated InDesign this morning to the latest version. However, I can't get lines to stay put. I click on the line tool, drag the cursor across to where I want it. Then click on the selection tool and click somewhere else in the document and the line disappears. I can't get the line to stay in the document not can I add a second line - any ideas on what the issue is? 1 vote

Option-Click/Drag to duplicate spread does not work anymore with MacOS 11.0.1 update- InDesign 15.1.3
- To Duplicate Spreads in Pages Panel — Option-Click/Drag to duplicate spread does not work anymore with MacOS 11.0.1 update. It used to with previous MacOS.
- Expected Result: the grab hand would have a plus sign, then duplicate spread.
- Actual Result: The grab hand operates as "Move" not "Duplicate".
 Right/Click Duplicate does, however (but who has that much time? : ) Thank you InDesign 15.1.3 1 vote

Bug with InDesign 16 Word and TexteditI noticed a huge performance bug. When I am working on a book with many pages and switch to an app like Word or Textedit and then back to InDesign, I get a beach ball for 30–60s. Only in InDesign. When I quit Word or Textedit, the beach ball disappears and InDesign runs normal again. 
 Restart eg. doesn't help!System: Big Sur

Text Frame IssuesCan't find this so hopefully this is new, but every time I nudge a text box with my arrow keys it ends up somehow shrinking the box or something because I get an arrow saying there's text outside the frame. It's fine... I nudge it once with the arrow key and I get the little red error box in the corner. 1 vote

Smart guides not working at allSnap to grid and smart guides or any function where cursor automatically snaps to edge, corner, or center point is not working. I am currently using version 16.0. I have restarted the program 5 times. All of these features are check marked and turned on despite the features not working at all. I will not work on my project because of this issue. I need to rely on the precise support of smart guides and snap to guides in order to do what I have to do. I'm very disappointed with this bug and upset I'm set back so much… 1 vote

Interactive pdf export adds %0D to the end of linksInDesign keeps adding %0D%0D to the end of my hyperlinks. I had searched this topic and found a few other forums with a similar problem. I tried other people's suggestions of making sure no spaces or returns were at the end or adding a / to the end of the link, but still nothing worked. I finally gave up on InDesign and just manually added the links in Acrobat after exporting. But that is not a good solution. Please fix this Adobe. My version is 16.0. 1 vote

Disappearing cursor with Big Sur v11.0.1 and InCopy 2019 v14.0.2Last month, we had issues with InCopy 2020, so we switched back to the more reliable 2019 version. Now, I (foolishly) updated the Big Sur (version 11.0.1) and now my cursor has disappeared and I have tried every suggestion to no avail (restarting the program, restarting the computer, and trashing InCopy preferences). I'm running InCopy 2019 (v 14.0.2) on my 2017 iMac Pro, 3.2 GHz 8-core Intel Xeon W, with 64 GB 2666 MHz DDR4. Any suggestions would be helpful (and by the way, I can't see the cursor in Layout, Story, or Galley mode). Thank you! 1 vote
