Conditional text is not applied correctly after line break in IDMLs
If Unconditional text follows a line break where another Paragraph Style is applied with Conditional text, making an IDML out of the document will change the Unconditional text to Conditional.
Please see example screenshots.

Paragraph Return is changed into Paragraph Separator (U+2029)
Version: Indesign CC 2018 and Incopy CC 2018
The bug as described on https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2344905 still exists in the latest version.
During the exporting INDD into IDML, the error below occurs.
Certain Paragraph Return (\r) is changed into 'PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR'(U+2029) and the first sentence’s paragraph style is changed into the paragraph style of the second sentence which makes two sentences into one.
Every time this bug occurs, we have to open the INDD file and change “U+2029” into another character such as “space” and export it again.
Finally we found out that this error occurs when 8000th character is “Paragraph Return…11 votesThe fix for this issue is now available in the latest update 14.0.2 of InDesign 2019.

IDML export corruption
This bug produces an IDML file with misplaced or missing elements.
It stems from having a second master page based on another master page.
When that second master page (based on another) is applied to a page in document, then saved as an IDML, the resulting IDML file will have misplaced or missing elements on the relative pages.
TEMPORARY WORK-AROUND:
While viewing the second master page (based on another), choose Override All Master Page Items from the side Pages menu. OR, simply do not base any master pages on other master pages. The resulting IDML file will look exactly like…8 votes -
CC2018 IDML files not compatible with CS6
Clients who have CS6 can't open any IDML files I create/export in CC2018. They receive an error message saying the format is unsupported or a plug-in is missing. IDML files created/exported from an earlier version of CC (2017) work fine.

IDML custom page sizes
When using an INDD file with custom page sizes, IDML export does not keep Master Page and Document Pages aligned properly, because it registers them as different sizes.
Even if the pages are the same.

idml shifts images in bounding boxes
PLEASE FIX THIS.
We send both indd and idml file formats to asian print suppliers. depending on the adobe version the supplier is using we are finding images can shift within bounding boxes - cutting them off at the crop. Or text frames reduce – cutting off copy. This is an incredibly expensive discovery if it not caught in pre-press.
My team is sending hundreds of files a year to Asian printer suppliers. this bug occurs in about 1 out of a hundred files.
PLEASE FIX THIS.

Embedded PDF/AI images causes documents created from IDMLs to double in size
File size almost doubles when exporting an INDD document to IDML and then re-save it as an INDD if it has embedded PDF or AI images.
Create a new InDesign document.
Place a PDF/AI image in it.
Embed the image in the InDesign file.
Save the InDesign file.
Export the InDesign file to IDML.
Open the IDML and save it as an INDD document.The resulting INDD document will have a file size of almost double the size of the original INDD document. This affects all versions of InDesign (CS6-CC2019) and embedded PDFs created in different applications (Illustrator, Acrobat, Preview).

Damaged File message
I'm getting the same error message "file is damaged when trying to create new ICML files. There seems to be a bug in the latest update. InDesign saves a recovered file and that seems to fix the problem. BUT the file is not damaged, it seems to be a bug in the latest update. Can you guys take a look.
Thanks!!

Export as InDesignMarkup (IDML) ignores the color profile
When exporting an indd-file as an IDML-file we've experienced a problem. In the original file there's an embeded a specific color profile (ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)).
If we check the exported idml file we found out that InDesign ignores the specific color profile and resets the profile to it's standard profile (U.S. Web Coated (SWOP)) - which is not the desired profile and not suitable for our european print environment.That was the reason of some color problems with some printing stores or agencys we're working with in the past.
At this time we couldn't find a solution or…

ICML export doesn't include <HyperlinkPageDestination> elements
(Affects all versions of InDesign that support ICML export)
Export the story in the attached document to ICML. Delete the story in InDesign and then re-import the ICML. The Hyperlinks panel shows "The referenced paragraph or text anchor is missing".
This is only a problem for the ICML export of internal links. Hyperlinks to pages in external documents are exported correctly. The information is also correctly stored when saved to IDML.

When I save out an IDML version of my INDD 2022 v17.0 file, the text boxes from my Master page are in a different location on every spread.
Also, when I tried opening my INDD file in an older version (INDD v1.64) nothing happened. My file did not appear in the window, so I couldn't "go back" to an older version of INDD.

Incorrect stroke styles when opening CC 2019 document in CC 2018
This is not an idea. It's a bug. When opening Indesign files built in CC 2019, from either the INDD or IDML file, often times the stroke style does not translate properly.
For example, often a line or a shape with a 1px Black stroke will import with no stroke at all.
I have never had this sort of incompatibility with IDML files in the past. I do not use CC 2019 because it hangs on every move I make.

IDML export = master page items shift
When a file is exported as IDML, master/parent page items have shifted. Happens most consistently on pages that are “based on” other pages. This happens whether an object style with positioning has been used or not, but is generally worse when positioning has been defined.
This has been a persistent issue through the past several versions of ID.
