Crashes on opening document created in indd 2019
Crashed as soon as I opened a document from 2019. After several tries, I was able to open the same document successfully, but it didn't recognize fonts in the Document fonts folder. It didn't matter whether it was opened from within InDesign or from the Finder. The successful attempt was from the Finder.

Ai Transparency blends, placed into ID, exported to png w anti-alias on -> color mismatch
Ai 2019 files, when opacity is set on parent group item and child items, and laid over a white background -- when placed into ID 2019 and exported to png w anti-alia on, there is a significant color mismatch. Strangely, when exported to png w anti-alias turned off, the correct color results. The ID export to png anti-alias code must have a bug in it. The same for jpg export. PDF export is fine.
1 voteThe fix for this issue is now available in the latest versions of InDesign – version 16.0 and above.
Please update to this version to get the fix.—

Live Preflight reporting a false error in linked indesign docs
Because of a crazy proofing process, when I put together a magazine, I create all the stories in individual indesign docs and then place the indesign doc into a "main" doc when they are finished. Preflight is flagging every placed indesign doc as having low resolution photos. When I open that doc to fix the issue, all the images are the correct high resolution and nothing is flagged in their preflight. Im worried Im going to miss a real issue.

Freeze after using default New Hyperlink to URL
(I didn't see a category for Freeze. I figure Crash is pretty close.)
In InDesign 15.0.3 on Windows 10:
I had just finished inserting a hyperlink by selecting Chess.com, bringing up the New Hyperlink panel (with the 'To URL' option up), and pressing Enter.
After waiting 15 minutes, it was still hung.
It was the only app running.
When I right-clicked on the InDesign icon on the taskbar and clicked 'Close window', a dialog box popped up saying, "Save changes to the Adobe InDesign document "16 - Glossary.indd" before closing?
I clicked 'Yes'.
It closed that dialog box and popped…1 voteClosed: Not Reproducible · AdminSanyam Talwar (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Adobe InDesign) respondedTo identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it.

Toc bad intraction with buttons
Hi. I've been having quite a bad weeks because of this. A large catalogue with multiple "indexes" (I manage to made TOCs for differents styles, so I have some "indexes" done) . BUT, when I put them with some interaction buttons in other file of the book, the interactive buttons stop working.
I try the new 15.1 update, but it was worst!1 vote -
Cross-Reference Character Width Incorrect
When inserting a cross-reference, InDesign acts as if the character of the cross-reference are much wider than they are. In my example below, it forces the "8" to flow down to the next line, even though an 8 character clearly fits, and a line break is not necessary.

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
