1. [ID-4216889]Objects on the page jump if a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page and vice versa

   Hi developers,
   this is a longstanding bug:

   With facing pages documents on EVERY document page there is a zone where jumping of objects will happen.

   I call this the jump zone. All objects on a page that will jump are clearly inside the page's area. The bug has nothing to do with rounding errors where object edges are at the edge of a page.

   The objects should not move if pages are added or removed, if numbering of pages is changing. Nevertheless they do. Always. Unless, the zone has a width of zero.

   Below all the details.

   What is a jump zone?
   If horizontal values for left and right margins differ, there is a BUG that in effect forms a zone on the page.
   I call this zone JUMP ZONE because objects that touch the zone with their edges could jump horizontally.

   When will objects jump?
   1. When a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page OR a right-hand page becomes a left-hand page.

   1. When a left-hand page becomes a right-hand page and later when a right-hand page becomes a left-hand page again.

   This could happen within a single InDesign document open.

   WARNING:
   It could even happen to InDesign documents that are not visibly open.
   That's with InDesign documents that are part of a InDesign book file.
   The book file's feature with auto-numbering pages can do this even if no document is visibly open.
   The damage is done if auto-numbering took place AND the book file is saved.

   How large is the jump zone?
   The height of the zone is the height of the page.
   The width of the zone can be calculated:
   inner margin MINUS outer margin

   How large is the jump?
   The width of the jump zone.

   Where is the jump zone positioned?
   Positive value: The zone is at the spine of the page.
   Objects that touch the zone jump towards the spine.

   Negative value: The zone is at the edge of a page away from the spine.
   Objects that touch the zone jump away from spine.

   What versions of InDesign are affected?
   All versions CC up to InDesign 2020, Mac OS X and Windows.
   InDesign CS6, Mac OS X and Windows.

   Possibly also InDesign CS5 and CS5.5, Mac OS X and Windows.
   I did not test this.

   How can I avoid jump zones?
   Make right and left margin values the same!

   Are there workarounds if I cannot avoid jump zones?

   1. Anchor objects
      that touch the jump zone to text frames that do not touch the jump zone.
      Nested objects will not jump if the parent objects are not touching the jump zone.

   2. Group an object
      to another one that is touching the top or the bottom edge of the page.
      Tests are showing that objects will not jump if they touch the bottom OR the top of the page.
      ( OR both, bottom and top edges of the page .)

   Other things to consider about moving objects?
   The following is independently of jump zones:
   Objects could move to other pages if their edges touch exactly the horizontal edges on pages in facing pages.
   Depending on the version of InDesign this could also happen with objects touching the spine.
   Reason: Rounding errors.

   What can provoke all this?
   1. Add or remove an odd number of pages
   so that left-hand pages become right-hand pages and vice versa.

   1. Renumber start pages of sections so that left-hand pages become right-hand pages and vice versa.

   Note:
   Every document has at least one section by default.
   The start of that section is the first page in the document.

   PS: Why does InDesign Uservoice not permit to attach files with suffix .indd ?
   Message: "Invalid file type: .indd files not allowed."
   Isn't that rather absurd?

4. Source Serif Pro font baseline not consistent

   I'm using Indesign 15.0 on MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) running Mojave version 10.14.6

   I'm experiencing a bug with the Source Serif Pro font , which I use extensively in a particular project.

   I open an existing document, and the text in Source Serif Pro looks as you'd expect it to. When I start to edit the text however, it all jumps down as if the baseline settings of the text frame has been changed (although checking in the settings confirms they haven't been).

   Copying and pasting the frame, or the text into a new frame, doesn't help.

   It only happens with Source Serif Pro (all weights) - if I change the font, even to other Adobe Fonts it doesn't happen. It also happens in new documents.

   It may be worth mentioning that a colleague works on the same Indesign files on a PC (we share the files via Dropbox) but he doesn't experience the issue.

   We both share another related bug with Source Serif Pro in that quotation marks just display as 'straight' even though 'use typographer's quotes' is turned on in preferences. This can't be fixed through the Glyphs panel either.

   My feeling is it's something to do with this particular font being used a lot over 2 different platforms.

   Thanks

5. Bug with search and replace on locked layers

   Hi all,
   it seems I’ve found an InDesign bug that is creating some problem on a project for a customer.
   I have a document with a table nested inside another table, the layer is locked but I’m able to find the text inside the nested table even if the “search on locked layer” is inactive.
   I can also apply another paragraph style to the text inside the nested table (with the layer locked) and this is causing some problem because I need to change the styles of the text of unlocked layers with a script.

6. [ID-4253057]Autonumbering in Hide Spreads is not working for Text Variables -> Insert Variable -> Last Page Number

   Text variable "Last page number" does not update with Hide Spread.

   With the newest update hiding spreads works automatically updates the pagination. This does not however change the "Last page number" variable. I often use this for screen presentations to display page X/X.

   This seems like a simple oversight in the update, but would be nice to have fixed.

8. 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.

   Pagespread01112617 - shows the page spread I was working with; each page is 10”x12.25”.
   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.
   Pagespread03_112617 - If I move page 2 down in the Pages panel, and realign it with page 1, the margin disappears.
