unable to move TOC in ebook
I am unable to move the TOC from the back of the book even though I put the TOC in front of the book after copyright. When export the book the TOC is still in the back or front of the book and often first pages are moved to the back of the book. Sometimes the entire order of the book gets changed.

inserting page
I'm working on a document which is around 100 pages. so far i was able to insert pages or a spread to the document without any issue but since yesterday, if i'm tryint to insert a page, its getting inserted not in the line of the spread but away from it.
I'm not sure if the problem is understandable, so i am attaching a few screenshots.
Asked around to a few colleagues, but no one has faced such issue before.1 vote -

INDD 2020 distorted vector graphics when opening old files
When we open old indd files, the incorporated vector graphics are distorted (even if the wire view is correct).
Copy Paste make the deformation permanent.
Importing original illustrator graphics in the doc works.This is a very important issue as we often rework/update packs for our customers, and massive production could be trashed if the default is not seen immediately.
Trust in the tools is very important: we have no time/budget to recheck that everything is still perfect when changing a typo or ref somewhere else in the file.

macOS Spaces
InDesign does not seem to properly use macOS Spaces. Some windows or popups prevent InDesign from showing up properly if the application is selected, either in the Dock or in the Command-Tab switcher.

Creating Text Box Crashes InDesign
When trying to create a text box, the application immediately crashes. I've found that this only happens in the "Essentials" workspace. I am using a 2017 MacBook Air on MacOS Catalina and using InDesign version 15.0.2.

InDesign ability to handle large files with many images / better rendering
Today in InDesign with large files (e.g. 320 pages, 400 images, many images 10MB JPEGs), presentation mode becomes bogged down with rendering the images and is unusable. Furthermore, using the page view large–jumbo sized views is very slow. On my 5k iMac, I can see that the CPU, the GPU, and the RAM are all available, so there is compute power to be had. Thus the feature request is to enable InDesign to use more HW and/or to have a way to store fully rendered images in a cache.

Page numbering logic
I don't get why the logic of page numbering is that complicaded in InDesign.
imagen you would like to show the number of the current and the previous page on the same page.
You can not simply put those varibles form Markers, saying Current Page Number an Next Page Number on the same page. – That would give you twice the Current Page Number.
Current Solution: You have to write them into two conected Text fields, which are supposed to be ob bouth pages, that you want to put a number on.here my idea:
Why wouldn't you make a…1 vote -

Alphabetical order is wrong
When building an Index, the alphabetical order imposed is not correct (I'm working in Spanish). Specifically, spaces should be counted before words ("A Song" should go before "Ableton", for example), at least in Spanish, whilst now it's doung the opposite, counting "A Song" like it was "Asong" and putting it after "Ableton".
Please make the modification, or allow the user to change the order manually, or access the language "alphabetical order" if that's possible. Thanks!

Indesign 2019 not allowing access to styles menu on MacOS working remotely
When working at home, using only wifi with a booster on a national carrier and MacOS Mojave version 10.14.6, Indesign 2019 (14.0.3 and using Adobe Cloud) does not allow access to styles panel to edit or do anything with styles. When working in-office and using wifi there, I have no problem accessing the styles. At home, Indesign just does nothing forever and I have to hit ESC to go on to do other work, not getting the changes I need.

15.0.2
When pasting a group of layers from one document to another it would be great of InDesign would honor the sort order when the layers land in the receiving document. Also if the layer colors can stay the same.
I often paste between documents and it is not fun having the manual sort the layers. How about a sort selected layer by "X' as an option. Typically I number these direct mail layers in numerical order.
This is very important with direct mail clients with variable data. The printers prefer all versions for the different branch offices in a 2-page…

Smart Quotes in Footnote
Smart Quotes in Footnote
I use Indesign in a Mac mini. The automatic typographical smart quotes do not work when I type in the footnotes i.e. During normal typing in a page a straight single or double quote is automatically changed to smart quotes. But in the footnote it does not seem to do it automatically.

I can't type lower case c but can type other lower case letters. For example when I type pickle I get pikle. It also switches the font.

Font list on wrong side of scree
Hi all. I have no idea what happened. I have Indesign 15.0.2 x64.
I have been working in Indesign daily and this morning, all of the sudden things seem all jacked.Mainly, which I cannot figure out, the font list for years has been on the left hand side of the screen when working with the text tool. Today it is on the right side of the tool bar. I reset to my preferred workspace, nada. I selected Essentials Classic and same.
What happened and how do I put it back? Essentials Classic should not have a different layout. InDesign…

Mapping errors of PDF comments for deletion when applied to list items (CC 2020)
PDF comments for deletion of list items get wrongly mapped to InDesign when importing to CC 2020; e.g. include the last character from previous list item if bullet point / numbering was included in selection to be deleted, or are mapped to a completely wrong part of a document.
Haven't tested with older versions of ID.

When in text tool, command-a does not select all the Text in the Box, but all boxes on the page instead
When I am in text tool (and not just switched there but have been there for a longer time) and klick into a text box, and it CLEARLY has been selected and the curser is there, pressing command-a to select all the text in this box selects ALL the boxes on this page, even though the arrow has not been selected and the curser was already visible.
This happens so often that I am nearing madness with this bug. Is there a way to get this back to being normal again?

When working over VNC, often Tools cannot be chosen
When I connect to my Mac over macOS-VNC, I can use everything as needed. Unfortunately sometimes Indesign shows the hand and lets me use only the hand to move the page, although I clicked the Arrow e.g. and it is selected. I the cannot select Text, change sizes of boxes etc. The only remedy is to reconnect via VNC, but not every time that works. I do not have this with any other program than indesign, so I am starting my journey of finding the root of this here.
