reference point
Reference Point moves on objects when one object on page is rotated. Indesign 2019 (14.0.1) If one (or more) objects on a page is rotated, then the reference point on other objects on the page changes as you select through the different objects. This applies to text, picture, and tint boxes. If you try and make the reference point the same on all objects on a page, say the upper left point, then select other objects, they have changed to a different reference point. This makes it very difficult to align objects from page to page.

Copying a page: Wrong position
When making a copy of a page, for example a copy of page 1, the new copy lands on a wrong position in the page palette.
1. Click and drag page 1 in the page palette while holding the alt-key. Then move mouse to the right, until a line appears between pages 1 and 2.
2. Releasing the mouse button should result in a copy of page 1 between the original page 1 and 2. All subsequent page numbers should increase by 1.
3. Instead of landing on position 2, the copied page appears on position 3.This issue has…

Object does not stay in center of document after resizing document format
Hello, I found some weird issues in Indesign CC 13.1 on Mac OS El Capitan.
When I place an object centerd in the middle of a document (for example
500 x 500 px) and I resize the document size to for example 700 x 700 px (something larger than 500 x 500), the Object won't stay in the middle, but moves to the right or left border - even I set the reference point within the transform-window to "middle" and also disable "double page".Why does the object not stay centered at the document format?
I attached a PDF-File where…2 votesHave you tried enabling the “Layout Adjustment” feature and then carrying out change of Page size?

pages tab unable to scroll past spread 42-43
I have a book with 56 pages. The 'Pages' tab can only scroll to pages 42-43. I can't get to the pages below. This makes it impossible to rearrange pages below 42-43.

In a 36 page document one double page spread has become a PB spread. some pictures missing, page numbers should be 8 and 9 but show PB instead, page background is grey instead of white, see screen shot attached.

After having troubles with errorcode 4 since CC17 and High Sierra, now Errorcode 2 enters the stage :(.

After that i am not able to save the files or load…

Pages/spread overlapping after changing page size
InDesign 2018 CC 13.0.1
Pages and spreads are doing weird things when I resize my document. It creates some odd margin after resize of pages. I start out with 2 pages, document shuffling allowed, facing pages turned off.

Pagespread02112617 - after I changed the size to 10.68”x11.239” for another ad spread, a weird margin showed up. The content boxes show how there is an odd overlap; each box is 10.68" wide.

Pagina is on Master page, and deleted on one page.
In version 12.0.0.81 the pagina that is deleted still shows.
In version 12.1.0.56 the pagina is not there.

View on open document fades to pure grey (i.e. the chosen background color)
Happens frequently, mostly after some actions just after the opening of the app. See attached screenshot with applied "select all" command to show something.
Temporary solution: Reopen document. But that is still irritating for a mature application.

Black block
Instead of text there are these black rectangles - only on parts of it. When I placed the text it was ok, but then it randomly switched to this. It still somehow detects text there but I cannot see it. I converted the doc to the previous Indesign version but the issue is still here.

Custome page size rotation
If I go to the parent pages to adjust an existing master (I had portrait tabloid parent pages), and I adjust the second page to be a letter-sized page, even if I select landscape for the new page size it defaults to portrait.
