Wrong font preview for RTL languages
There is a problem with the new fonts preview in version 14.0 of InDesign.
The 'Selected Text' preview is shown backwards (LTR instead of RTL).
This happens in spite of the fact that the text box is marked as a 'Hebrew' one.
I'm using a Mac running OS X 10.13.6 High Sierra.3 votesThis issue has been fixed in the latest version of InDesign, that is InDesign 2020. Please update your InDesign version to see this fix.

PDF comments panel starts scrolling on it's own
At random the panel starts scrolling whenever the mouse is over the panel.
Moving the mouse off the panel for a few seconds usually stops it and I can continue working

Palettes stay closed/hidden when I open documents
Version of InDesign: 14.0
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Close documents so that all documents are closed. (All palettes close.)
2. Open a document.Expected Result: I expect the palettes I last had open to be there automatically.
Actual Result: The document opens, but the palettes stay closed/hidden.
Any Workarounds: Currently, my workaround is to hit Command-Shift-D to bring up the Links palette. When I do that, all the palettes appear. I could, of course, select any palette from the menu, but a keyboard shortcut is so much quicker than mousing around to a menu item. This behavior didn't happen in…

After pressing "Cancel" in "Relink..." dialog, the item is no longer selected in the Links panel
- InDesign 13.1 x64, WIndows 10
- Select an image on the page, and it is highlighted in the links panel. Press "Relink...". Press "Cancel".
- The link should be highlighted in the links palette so I could press "Relink..." again immediately
- The frame is still selected but the image is no longer highlighted in the Links panel. You have to deselect the frame and re-select it (or manually click the link in the panel) to highlight it again.

Editable Title bar ... let us firstly remove the Br and St icons (really that stock stuff!!!) ... and possibly add our own buttons ... Primarily though allow us to disable stock throughout CC ...

Hand Tool/Help Menu Shortcuts Mixed Up
In their default states, the Hand Tool and Help menu options are bound to H and F1 respectively, but pressing H during normal use of the program consistently uses Help instead of the Hand tool.
Removing the F1 shortcut from the Help menu fixes this issue. I've experienced it in other areas, and I assume this solution will work for those as well.

.Indd files look like their opening, but they and the controls are not displaying in Indd. Just missing.
.Indd files look like their opening, the application seems to think it's open, but they and the controls are not displaying in Indd. It's just missing. It happens with any Indd file. No error. It just wont' open, but you can see the temporary file in the folder showing it's open, and it asks me if I want to save it when I go to quit. I just reinitialized my computer last weekend and reinstalled CC.

cannot click through InDesign to desktop or other apps after using Mission Control's window exposé feature in macOS
It seems that after using Mission Control to thumbnail all open windows, InDesign no longer allows me to click onto other application windows that I can see underneath InDesign. So If I click on any window or desktop item visible, I get caught switching to InDesign, almost as though there's an invisible window still open and becoming activated. I can be in another app, try to click to my desktop, and it'll switch over to InDesign instead.
Currently using InDesign CC v 13.0.1
macOS 10.12.6If I quit InDesign and relaunch, it'll work again for a while. I think until…

Cannot Pan/Scroll with WACOM pen in Open/Save/Place file dialogue windows.
Cannot Pan/Scroll with Wacom pen in Open/Save/Place type file dialogue windows in mmany if not all of Adobe apps (where every other non-Adobe app I know of does, Apple and other 3rd parties), obviously this pertains to when you've mapped a Wacom pen button to pan/scroll to use in that manner (Wacom settings screen attached).
What should happen is being able to interact similar to touch omnidirectional swiping which includes vertical mouse-like scrolling when pressing the button and making contact with the pen, as would be expected and Wacom designed it to do.
What instead happens: Adobe apps interpret this…

Separations palette without numbers
At some point the numbers go missing from the separations preview, when separations is chosen from the palette menu. This applies also to the Ink Limit view. Resetting preferences will help for a while.

Disabling UI scaling for high PPI displays causes truncated descriptions in "Preferences"
Installed InDesign CC 2018; when disabling UI scaling for high PPI displays, and restarting.
When "Preferences" are launched, all options turn up with their descriptions truncated, and replaced with an ellipsis.
Two images are attached, when UI Scaling is disabled vs enabled.
This is happening on MS Surface Pro 3, Windows 8.1, screen resolution 2160 x 1440 px (max supported by Surface Pro) and all resolutions below.

InDesign 21.1 x64 on PC: panels not expanding when clicking on the icon
Panels sometimes do not expand when clicking on an icon in the right-hand column of panels. It seems random. Sometimes the panel you choose expands when you click on the icon (as it should), but sometimes you have to click the two little chevrons pointing leftward at the top of the column of icons, which makes them all expand and it's a mess to work with. Only the one you click on should expand, but sometimes it doesn't.
This isn't a new bug. There were previous submissions about this and the issue was supposedly resolved, but it is NOT. The…

The problem affects the entire column of icons shown in the screenshot, not just the clicked one.2 votes -
InDesign window doesn't automatically scale when switching between laptop and an external monitor, and application screen goes blank
This issue has been posted before, with no solution. Ever since one of the more recent updates to InDesign, the application window no longer automatically scales to fit the screen when connected to an external monitor and, when it's connected, the application window is blank—showing only the pasteboard color across the whole application window.
So you have to hit the "+" to expand the app window to the full screen area, close the file window, and reopen the file in order to work again.
Similarly, if you hit "Shift + W" to view Presentation Mode, the application window always re-acquires…2 votes
