InDesign should warn users when text size limit is reached
InDesign should warn users when text size limit is reached. This is especially important when resizing existing documents. If you have a huge billboard covered in lockups/text elements that you're resizing, you have no way of knowing whether the text limit is reached unless you notice it. A warning dialogue box would be nice.

numbered list doesn't count up - only counts 1, 1, 1
InDesign 15.0.2 , Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4
I've been provided text to put into document. Copy pasted in (stripping formatting), added Paragraph Formatting (basic paragraph), then selected text to make it a numbered list ... and it numbers every item as number 1.
I did my own list, and it worked fine (1, 2, 3).
I copied the text from within the document into the new correct list, it reverted all the numbers back to 1,1,1.
I retyped the text to keep the correct numbering - that fixed the issue for me.
I've attached a video showing what happens when…

Style shortcuts keep disappearing
InDesign 13.1.1
I'm not sure what is going on but it's been happening for a while now. The only way I've been able to fix it has been to trash my preferences. Unfortunately even that doesn't last long, sometimes as short as a day.
I make a lot of paragraph and character shortcuts for my projects. Each has it's own set of fonts so although I use the same shortcuts each are attached to different fonts so when I jump into a project I need to be able to see the shortcuts in the panel to remember which to use.…

Crash when smart reflowing a document with many anchored text boxes
Indesign is freezing/crashing when smart text reflow is used to reflow the document. Other documents are fine. This document is unique in that it contains many anchored text boxes and decimal tabs.
I am using InDesign 15.0.2
All I must do to crash InDesign is 1) open the document, 2) place my cursor between two of the inline anchored text boxes, 3) add a paragraph return (creating overset text which should be reflowed automatically).
See attached screenshot of one-page document.

[v15.0.1 up to v15.0.3.406] Link in Hyperlink Panel green, but incorrect
Another bug that has unfortunately crept in and is just noticeable: in the hyperlink panel, links are shown as okay (green!!), but they contain control characters (e.g. conditional line break <- I don't know if this is the correct English name, see in Text as control character like this: | ).
The control character is (of course) exported and the link does not work in Acrobat.The link does not work in InDesign either, but if the light shows green, the function is useless.

ID 15.0.2 can't find kashida
I'm using ID CC20 (v15.0.2) with Arabic support. When I search for a manually placed kashida in a string of text, I get a "Cannot find match" error. I've made sure all specific attributes are turned off in the search window (see attached). This happens whether I type a kashida in the search field or copy-paste it from text in the layout.

copy and paste removing spaces
I have ahad a problem recently when copying text from word documents to indesign where it randomly removes and adds spaces to the text body. This is extremly time consuming to resolve. i believe it is an internal bug in the new update.

Illogical interface to control the strokes of a table's cells
Hi there,
I find the interface to adjust the strokes of a table's cell utterly confusing and frustrating to use. For instance, I want to adjust the top horizontal border between two rows. If I click on the top bar in your interface (see diagram), select a weight and colour, InDesign changes the stroke of the cell's vertical bars?!
If I select the bottom bar in the diagram, it still changes the vertical bars.
If I attempt to guess the reasoning of how the interface works, I then chose to select the vertical bars in the interface, InDesign still changes…

New frame created when pasting text in InDesign
Pasting single or multiple words into a table creates a brand new frame which floats on top of the existing one. This bug affects text copied from another section of the InDesign document as well as many text elements (single words or sentences) copied from MSWord.

Outline font in circle
When a combination of superscript and normal sized font is used in a circle then fonts are outlined, the text jumps up to the positioning of the superscript within the circle instead of staying centred. This issue has not occurred before in previous versions of InDesign.

General font selection in bold!
I have a question. I work a lot with questions and answers.
I ask if it is possible to put all my 'questions' in bold without me selecting one at a time. Is it possible to make a general selection of all? (I tried using the CTRL + F method), but it doesn't work, there are different questions and different names.)
Thanks in advance! Hugs from Brazil ma' friends!

[ CC-2019 and 2020 ] The Convert-Endnotes-To-Footnotes Disaster SCOPE: SELECTION
Hi together,
I'm using the menu dialog, not the context menu, for converting endnotes to footnotes. Scope: SelectionThe result is not as expected.
3 out of 7 endnotes were not converted to footnotes.
1 additionally was converted, but the corresponding endnote was not removed.Trying again with a different selection of the remaining endnote texts:
Now the first endnote could be converted, I assume because I selected all the endnote text. However the remaining endnotes couldn't be converted.All the details can be found at the Adobe InDesign Forum:

[ CC-2019 and 2020 ] The Convert-Endnotes-To-Footnotes Disaster SCOPE: DOCUMENT
Hi together,
I'm using the menu dialog, not the context menu, for converting endnotes to footnotes. Scope: DocumentThe result is not as expected.
There are 7 endnotes in my document. Only 5 were detected by the conversion and only 3 of that 5 were actually converted. In one of the not detected endnotes the text has changed after the conversion. Some separator characters were added.
I am showing all this in more detail at the Adobe InDesign Forum and at InDesign Prerelease as well. Together with a link to my test documents.

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.1 vote -

Made a table in 2018, saved the INDD, then open in 2020, changed only text in the table, now want to copy & paste back to 2018 file -> not possible. It's exactly the same table. When pasting to pasteboard, the table rows look the same, only the style color has changed.
