ScriptUI: Opening Dialog while dialog is open breaks InDesign
I'm running InDesign 14.0.2 on a macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
In a script i created I have a Dialog. It has a button that opens another dialog.
Before my last indesign-update (CC 14.0.2) the second dialog would open and when i closed it, i could use the previous dialog window again.
Now with the Update when I open the second dialog and close it again, i cant use (or close) the previous dialog and it blocks me from using InDesign. I can move the dialogwindow around but thats it so i have to restart indesign.
I tested this on two…

Smart guides not working at all
Snap 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…

Disappearing cursor with Big Sur v11.0.1 and InCopy 2019 v14.0.2
Last 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!

Adobe InDesign (Build 15.0.3) - Italian UI Translation issue
Good morning,
I have found a (severe) translation bug in the InDesign 15.0.3 Italian User Interface,
In the dialog "Text Frame Column Rule Options", in Italian UI "Opzioni regola colonna frame di testo", of "Object Styles" the English term "Rule/Rules" has been erroneously translated as "Regola/Regole" instead of "Filetto/Filetti".
Thank you for amending it in a future CU, as it is really misleading.

shift command does not work for scaling
I think others have had this problem but I can't find a current stream. I can not scale proportionately an image or text by holding the Shift and Command keys and dragging. I am running CC 15.1.2 I tried to revert back to the previous version with no luck. I tried this with a couple of versions. Is there an issue with IOS 10.15.6? I think that just updated as well.

Frustrated - lagging pointer
In order to get my mouse cursor to a legible size, I need to enlarge the cursor size in system preferences.
But I just determined with a tech support after 1 HOUR AND 20 MINUTES. That enlarging my cursor is causing lag in InDesign.
He said (paraphrasing), "It's your fault for not upgrading to Big Sur."
I said, "Well is OSX Mojave supported in InDesign 2021??"
He said, "Yes."
I said, "I want to report this as a bug."
He said, "Go to this bug support page."

Indesign 2020 intolerable lag of up to 10 seconds when switching from selection to text tools
Since the latest update, InDesign has extensive trouble switching from selection to text tools. This appears to be exacerbated by having more than one layout file open. I'm running Windows 10 Pro, i9 system with 64GB of ram. I've reinstalled, deleted preferences, reduced fonts installed, deactivated preflight, deactivated opentext options bug on boxes. The problem is very repeatable and proving a major work disruption.

Wrong translation of “Publish online” UI in Czech language
Please correct wrong translation of "Single" and "Spread". In the latest version of InDesign the translation means "One FIle" and "Extension", crazy, isn't it? Please follow the long established terminology developed in old days when you did ask humans to translate UI items and you did consult it with local experts: the names are correct in InDesign PDF export dialog, so why don't you reuse the correct terminology?
The correct form is "Stránky" and "Dvojstránky".!!! PLEASE stop using robots or Google Translate for new features in InDesign !!!

Closing this as Fixed.

Correct UI Resolution for 4K Screens
I have a 4K laptop (Dell XPS 15"), and the UI is just too small. Not small as in "I wish it was bigger", but rather "It is impossible to interact with the UI".
From scrolling through forums and such, it seems that this problem exists since 2014 or so, when 4K screens where a rare sighting.
But now these screens are becoming more popular, and the fact that they aren't supported by InDesign is pretty absurd. Especially when other programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier etc.) work completely fine.I've seen suggestions for workarounds that have to do with setting the…

Please update to the new version of InDesign to get this feature.

Relinking / opening new documents window broken
When I try to relink or open a new document (anything that involves locating a file from my MAC) I can no longer select shortcuts from my sidebar. The folder icons are placeholder documents rather than folder icons. Clicking on them has no effect.

CMD+O (Open File Dialog) Doesn't work after new 15.0 and 15.0.2 releases.
CMD+O no longer opens the "Open File Dialog" upon first entering InDesign after launch. Once you open a file thru the Menu, CMD+O starts working properly.
This was an issue in a previous version release, and now it has turned up again in this latest release.
