2. Temporary file not working

   In the company I'm working at we have our files on a server that we share. When a customer have some edits requested we get an email in our system with the changes required. Me or one of my colleagues dive in to the job and fix the things in InDesign and then send a pdf back to the customer.
   This works really great and it's usually small changes here and there in quarterly and annual reports we work with.
   But now it seems like the temporary file saved on the server isn't working like it used to.
   This morning I jumped in to fix one job that came in the email system and I saved the pdf and sent it to the customer. And a few seconds one of my colleagues said he tried to save a pdf, but it was already saved. So he was working in the InDesign file the same as I was working on it.
   This couldn't be done before. InDesign said the file was already open and I guess it's because the temporary file was in the folder while someone was working. Now it doesn't care if the file is open by someone else.
   We did a test now (we have contact over Zoom during the Corona), but I opened the file and then my colleague opened the same file with no problem.
   This is something that needs to be fixed. Otherwise we need to call each other and ask about every single file before we start working with it.
   Something must be wrong here. It used to work fine before.

   I hope you understand what the problem is and please let me know if this can be fixed.

3. Better Trackpad

   Hey. This may sound weird but I would love for the trackpad on my windows laptop to work the way it does on my mac since they've come such a long way. I bet users would appreciate the effort from your side.

4. zoom scroll pan

   Make it so Windows version of Adobe programs are capable of all gestures such as zoom and pan/scroll. This works perfectly fine on my MacBook, but on Windows I'm only able to chose if I can scroll/pan or zoom, but cannot zoom and pan. This makes working with the program extremely difficult and infuriating when it's such a simple feature that works in every other basic program.

5. Hide Frame Edges Keyboard Shortcut is Not Working

   Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6
   Adobe InDesign 15.1.2
   Expected result: The keyboard shortcut (Control + Command + H) is supposed to show and hide frame edges.
   Actual result: The keyboard shortcut does not work. I've tried quitting InDesign and restarting. I've tried shutting down my Macbook and restarting. The keyboard shortcut still does not work.

6. Indesign 2020 doesn't convert older InDesign files so they are useable

   When I open older InDesign files (pre-2019) in 2020, the program hangs and I get the spinny wheel and have to force quit. It also doesn't load italic version of system font Palatino. The workaround is to open them in 2019, why can't 2020 open older files properly?

7. Updated to Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6 yesterday and now inDesign 15.1.1 is so slow that's it's almost unusable.

   Have tried three different inDesign files and each minor change or new page view produces the progress wheel for a full minute. I can't work like this. Please help.

8. Not able to work on more than one document in InDesign 2020 on Windows 10

   Folks,
   Please vote if you have the same issue:

   I can't work anymore on more than one packaged doc containing 'Document fonts' folder in each package in InDesign 15.1.1.
   Moving frames, selecting text in the frames or switching between two (blank) docs causes an unacceptable huge delay what makes efficient work impossible.

   Performance got worse and worse since 15.02 / 15.03 / 15.1 already. Removed ID completely, as well any plug-ins or font management software. Bug occurs on three independent Win10 machines using 15.1.1.
   I'm currently working on ID 15.01 which is the only version I can work in still fluently.

   Temporary solution:
   Renaming or moving one of the 'document fonts' folders enables fluent work on the fly, hiding control panel in ID too. As soon ID accesses fonts in the document fonts folder the issue occurs, no matter what font is used.
   Definitely located that the bug is related to this folder only.

   Please replicate on your end creating two new packaged files.

   Posted the topic in Adobe community forum already:
   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/not-able-to-work-on-more-than-one-document-in-indesign-2020-on-windows-10/m-p/11238594?page=1#M192146

   Adobe already assisted in a remote support session:
   Resetted ID prefs and repaired all Microsoft Visual C++ files 2012-2019 without results.

   Thanks

10. Either the file does not exist... ERROR

    I've noticed a pattern when clicking on one of my recent file icons... I use two different cloud storage platforms, Dropbox and Sync. Both services are accessed from local folders on the same external hard drive. When trying to open one of the recent DROPBOX files from the Recent start page, I get the dreaded 'Either the file does not exist...' error.

    BUT, when I follow the same process with one of the SYNC files, it opens with no issues.

    ALSO, I can open files from EITHER service using the File > Open Recent method.

    So... could the problem somehow be with the Dropbox integration? Any thoughts, InDesigners? Thanks!

11. Scrolling with mouse wheel

    While using mouse wheel on InDesign 15.1 to scroll down to pages, chunks of my artwork overlap even setting everything to the lowest display performance possible. This only happens with the mouse wheel, works fine using the hand tool.

    No issues with previous InDesign versions.

    My setup: OS 10.15.5 on Mac Mini Late 2014, 2.6 Ghz, Dual-Core Intel Core i5, 8GB memory, Intel Iris 1536MB, 500GB SSD

12. Type Tool Deactivates Itself

    v15.0.3
    When selecting the Type Tool by using the keyboard shortcut (T), it briefly activates, then deactivates itself and the previous tool selected is made active again. I am unable to use the type tool in the brief period of time it is made active. I can select it successfully by clicking on the icon on the sidebar.

13. control panel disappears

    Have upgraded to InD 2020 v 15.0.3 -- whenever i close all documents and then open a new one (i.e. when there is not already a doc open in InD), my control panel disappears and wont re-appear via tab or reset workspace. I have it set to floating. I have to close and restart my InD for the control panel to reappear again. Never had this problem before! Is this just my Mac or is it InD?

14. CMD+O (Open File) STILL Doesn't Work in 15.0.3 on first launching InDesign

    This still hasn't been fixed!! When first opening InDesign 15.0.3 CMD+O just gives a 'dead key' beep, and it doesn't bring up the 'Open File' dialog. You must use the MENU to open the first file. After you have opened a file from the MENU, the CMD+O will then work. PLEASE FIX, for us long-time users this is painfully annoying! I have reported this in previous releases.

    Thanks for reporting the issue. We are reviewing it

15. Cross-Reference won't save a <cs style="stylename"></cs> format. It just strips the tag out of the data.

    Before updating to the latest version of ID, I would get an error each time I tried to use the <cs> tag to format a cross-reference. It wouldn't let me save the data.

    Now it lets me save the data, but it just strips the tag out.

    I have a character setting called Bold.
    
    I defined a cross-reference format as:
    <cs style="Bold"><fullPara /></cs> on page <pageNum />

    I save it, and I click OK. Then I reopen the format page, and it says the following:
    <fullPara /> on page <pageNum />

    It's like the tag never existed. No matter what I try, the tag never saves. I can apply a character style to the entire cross-reference, but not half of it. It is all or nothing. I can make text changes to the tag like adding quotes without a problem.

16. Text-fields behave strange after InDesign 2020 update

    Since the release of InDesign 2020 there frequently appears a circumstantial bug, that is not reasonable in any way:

    When i double click (edit) or just copy any text-box, suddenly the content is moving downwards (about 3pt), so that it disappears in overflow text and has to be realigned. It even happens when I copy and paste those Elements or duplicate the whole page, so one of the most fundamental functions became futile (image "Adobe-Indesign-Bug-duplicate.jpg")!

    Additional the maximum height of the box, before the text disappears in overset, isn't depending on the contents height like in older versions, but is expanded on the upper side instead (see image "Adobe-Indesign-Bug-copy-paste.jpg" in attachment)

    Sometimes it even changes the whole stlye, color AND size!!!! ("Adobe-Indesign-Bug-copy-paste2.jpg").

    I checked everything that may be possible - without results. It sitll appears after saving older documents in 2020 version...

    Hence, every template i ever created is useless and time-consuming!
    ADOBE PLEASE DO SOMETHING, THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND ANNOYING!

    Anybody experiencing similar problems? Thanks for reply.

    Update: Bug doesn't appear on another PC with similar settings. But it still appears after uninstalling old version, reinstalling new version and even after deleting all folders and setups in adobe file path.... Still stumped for an answer...

19. InDesign CC 2020 lagging between actions

    Upgraded from InDesign 2019 and now I have an annoying lagging issue between actions like zooming, page scrolling, selecting objects, etc. Searched and many seem to be experiencing the same thing. I did everything mentioned... deleted, reinstalled, deleted cache, deleted preferences, etc with no luck. I'm on a late 2015 mac using Catalina.

    I Reinstalled 14.0.3 and and there is no lag on that version and works great. Seems to be only in v 15.0.x

    FYI, I temporarily resolved the lag issue in v15.0.1 by disconnecting the computer from the internet and work offline. Doing so resolved the lag issue completely.

20. InDesign 2020

    InDesign is shutting down my palettes. So everytime i close out a document, my pallette set up disappears. Every. Time. I have to set up my pallettes every time and it is super frustrating. Is there a way (that I don't know) to keep my pallettes set up the way i want all the time? Also I am not touching tab, either.

    Also, why is there not a mobile InDesign App for ipad?
