Indesign crashes when clicking "Find next", searching for inline images (image frames selected in "object")
When I try to find inline images in a large string of text (because I want to alter the object style of the images), ID crashes when clicking "Find next", when there is also a text overflow and most of the images are hidden in this overflow (red +-sign).
After creating enough new pages to fill the master text frames with the overflow-text, and then click "Find next", Indesign won't crash anymore.Indesign 15.1.1 macOS Catalina 10.15.6 24 GB RAM iMac

CC Library
I'm trying to add colours and paragraph styles to my cc library, however, when I try to rename anything or even type within the feature nothing types and the keyboard pretty much does not work at all.

installed 2020 and uninstalled 2019, no files not associating with the app
After installing 2020 to edit files created in the latest version, all .indd files are not associated with Indesign at all. When I try to update default settings to associate .indd files with InDesign, the file type .indd is not listed.

14.0.3 Crashes and wipes all preferences (17th October 2019)
On closing a document on a mac (using the red dot) inDesign suddenly crashes. When I re-open it, all my preferences have been reset to default - including the animated tool tips returning.
4 votesWe have released InDesign 2021(v16.0.0.77) with a lot of stability fixes. We recommend you upgrade to the latest version (if you’re not already on it) as it is more robust.
If you still face this issue even after updating, please send the following information to santalwa@adobe.com:
• Quit InDesign and create a backup of Preference and cache. Relaunch InDesign to observe if the preferences have been reset.
• Next time when you encounter a crash, create a backup of Preference and cache prior to InDesign launch. If the issue is encountered, send the back up of preference and cache to the above mail ID—

Background colour is being adding to table when I go to edit
Since Indesign 2020 installation in July when I go to edit in a table that has colored borders, this colour then appears in the background and it is hard to make changes as you can't read the text.
How can I stop this happening?

Paragraph/character styles font menu bug. Multiple Monitors
InDesign CC 2020 (15.0.2)
Operating System: macOS Catalina (10.15.4)
MacBook Pro 2019 16 inch built in monitor (default) 3072x1920
Samsung LC27JG52QQXEN 2560x1440 144HzIf I have the screens stacked as per the screen shot attached the font menu with paragraph styles is stretched off the screen top and bottom. The only way around this is to position my other screen to the side and then it works fine. The images 3 and 4 show the issue that I am having. Images 1 and 2 show the only thing that I can do to workaround the issue.

Selecting all and then deselecting some text in one go
I have been using InDesign since forever. Since the very first versions. But something has changed in the update to version 15.0.3.
When I select text, I often want to select an entire paragraph, except for the hidden character "paragraph return". I do that by holding Shift+Command+Arrow Down. That selects the entire paragraph including the hidden character. Then I would normally just let go of the command button and still hold Shift and then push the Arrow left button. That way I had selected the entire paragraph without the hidden character.
But in the latest update, 15.0.3 I now suddenly…1 voteHi,

Save functions unavailable
I'm using a Mac and running Catalina, have ID 2020. Yesterday, an existing file of 33 pages stopped allowing me to save it. I had no idea it wasn't saving and lost hours worth of work by the time I realized what was happening. I tried starting a new document and pasting the text into it, but same problem. I started a new document again and it allowed me to save immediately, but the second I dropped in text (different text this time), I lost the ability to save the file. I can export to PDF or IDML, but cannot…

file will not export to pdf
Some Indesign files will not export to pdf while other Indesign 2020 files export fine. An alert shows but there is no detail in the alert. There does not seem to be any difference between the files that export and those that don't. Indesign 2020 does not accept file names that are too long.

overprint function works wrong! > Illustrator & Indesign
As Indesign & Illustrator unfortunately is doing right now:
If the overprinted area contains a smaller amount of the same base colour (c/m/y/k) than the overprinted area, the overprint function mutates into a kind of cut-out function:
in which case Adobe replaces the area of the cutoff area with the lower color value of the area to be overprinted.Example 1
Area below to be overprinted (cmyk): 20/0/100/0
Area at the top that is to overprint (cmyk): 40/0/0/0
A.) Current result cut surface: 40/0/100/0 (okay)
B.) Correct result cut surface: 40/0/100/0
or C.) alternative result* cut surface: 60/0/100/0

Hard returns only (soft returns converted)16 votesHi,
Thanks for your patience all this while. We investigated on this issue and below are our findings. The problem with this bug is related to ages old standards difference between different operating systems.
On Mac (OS X and later) there is only one way to identify line end i.e by using a single character LF, while on Windows (and DOS before it) uses a pair of CR and LF characters to terminate lines.
Hence when writing them down to any text file these characters are written as such.
Windows, can therefore dedicate LF to understand soft return separately while Mac cannot do any
such thing. Because of this when we read it back from the text file the LF character is interpreted as line break (or new para) on Mac and soft return on Windows.These files require conversion when moved from one OS to another
Consider this…

Alt text not appearing for images across spreads
in ID 2020, image across double-page spreads will generate an alt-text error when exported to accessible PDF. This problem goes away when saved as IDML and opened in ID 2019.
