Adobe 2020 build 15.0.2 - loses installed fonts
When working with InDesign 2020, fonts that are installed on the system, go missing especially if I either export some pages as a PDF, or package the file. If I quit InDesign and restart, InDesign finds the fonts and I can work with the document until I do another PDF export or package the file.
I never had this problem with InDesign 2019 and earlier. It just started with InDesign 2020 and build 15.0.2.3 votes -
Needing a smaller swatches panel (minimum 1 line, not 2 lines)
Context : On most of my documents, with few but very distinct colors, I'll often switch to "big thumbnails". It's easy to distinguish a color from a lighter or darker version.
But then, when the panel could displays two lines of swatches, I would only need one (see linked file), freeing a lot of screen space.
Except the minimum size of that panel doesn't go under 2 lines, when 1 would be enough.

Getting missing font warning when trying to delete a page - won't delete page!
I am trying to DELETE a page and get a missing font warning - when I agree to update fonts and agree to "do you want to continue updating numbering?" it cycles back to the same warning, and won't delete the page. Over and over again. The font is Avenir, which some people are apparently having problems with, but I just want to delete a page before exporting to pdf.!! help!! I've tried opening and closing InDesign, fixing the file separately and in Book mode, nothing works....have a deadline NOW.

InDesign 2020 • Script • PlaceMultiplePDF
I've called a few times about this and this is the fastest way I've been shown to do Place MultiplePDF, resize pdf and fit proportionally:

• PlaceMultiplePDF
• New document
• Document Settings – deselect facing pages
• Move master page to this document and apply to all pages
• First page re-size PDF to margins
• Fit Page Proportionally
• CTRL ALT 4 to each page (document 898 pages)Can you come up with a script where you can re-size the pdf to the margins and fit the page proportionally? The CTRL ALT 4 is helpful but…

When I base a new master page on another, and then override any one element in the new master, the keyboard on my Mac quits working
In Indesign (15.1.1), when I base a new master on another, and then override any one element in the new master, the keyboard on my Mac (OS 10.14.6) stops working. It stops working in InDesign--either I get nothing or I get random zooms and other oddities, unrelated to the keystrokes--and it stops working in every other program as well until I reboot.

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

In Japanese version, "Column" is incorrectly translated as "列" instead of "段"

Please see the list on the next page along with the Japanese version of the screen capture.

When trying to create a text box, the application immediately crashes. I've found that this only happens in the "Essentials" workspace. I am using a 2017 MacBook Air on MacOS Catalina and using InDesign version 15.0.2.

spell checking for hyphenated expressions
Spell checking has changed with the most recent release, and expressions which were previously acceptable (and which the Oxford Dictionary of Amercican English thought were correct are now being rejected. For instance: crash-landed.
The same problem appears with French text, and there the problem is more difficult, as French has lots and lots of hyphenated expressions. "bric-à-brac" is one I've come across already. Le Petit Robert thinks this is correct, and all previous versions of InDesign did too. Please fix. :)

PDF Comments
I really like this feature and it is a big benefit to my workflow. However, I find the ability to cut or copy from the comments virtually impossible. Would be great if you guys could make this aspect more user-friendly.
Many thanks and stay safe

Alternate filling function of table rows doesn't work on styled cells
Please see the attached video to fully understand what is the issue about: the alternate filling function doesn't work on previously styled cells.
PS: Your server didn't allow me to upload the .indd file where the bug appeared and displayed the following error message: «Invalid file type: .indd files not allowed.» I can't believe my eyes. This is incredible! It's impossible to upload an .indd file on the bugs forum of InDesign! How ironic.

Really, ACTUALLY fix the form field export problem. This is NOT fixed as of August 2020
This bug should not be closed. The issue with exporting form fields and having them show up as tagged in Acrobat is not fixed. Was not in CC2018, isn't still now.

"Synchronization completed successfully..." message shows up even if AppleScript's user interaction preferences set to "never interact"
When synchronizing a book via AppleScript, the "Synchronization completed successfully..." dialog shows up even if the user interaction script preferences are set to "never interact".
Yes, this message has the "Don't show again" option. However, it's still a bug - because the dialog shouldn't show up at all when user interaction is suppressed.
On new installations of InDesign or new machine, this message always causes confusion to end users. It means that running the script for the first time will always fail. Users get upset.
Hope it can be fixed! No dialogs should show up when user interaction is disabled…

In Design 15.0.2 freezes up and is extremely slow
It takes quite a while to do simple things like create a text box, move the boxes around, cutting and pasting, moving from the selection tool to the type tool, etc. It will even freeze up moving from page to page. It takes forever to get any work done. Please help!
