Version of Adobe InDesign
14.0.2 x64

Steps to reproduce the issues
1. Placed a Word document. Reformatted etc - lots of work done.
2. Tried to Find/Replace all ellipses to ensure they have a Thin Space before and after. InDesign Find/Replace finds no ellipses (but I am looking at them, having already replaced three periods with ellipses throughout the document).
3. Tested in a new document - problem does not occur there. But it does if I paste the text from the previous document in.
4. Tried exporting to IDML and re-opening to remove any corruption. This made no difference.
5. Tried Find/replace with [None] as Character Style - miraculously ID now finds the ellipses.

Expected result
ID finds ellipses when searching for them!

Actual result
ID can't find them unless Character Style [None] is also searched for (in Format).

Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)
2x screenshots available - N.B. the first one shows both an ellipsis and one which is just three dots ...

Code below works fine on Windows and CC 2018 on Mac. But CC 2019 Mac it hangs the app once clicking the OK button in window 2. I've tried three different Macs including Mojave and High Sierra. All the same result. Pretty sure it's not just me. This bug has broken a number of my scripts that present a secondary window for saving settings.

var w1 = new Window("dialog", "Window 1");
var btnOpenWindow2 = w1.add("button", undefined, "Open Window 2");
var btnOk1 = w1.add("button", undefined, "OK");
btnOpenWindow2.onClick = function () {
openWindow2();
};
btnOk1 = function () {
w1.close();
};
w1.show();


function openWindow2 () {
var w2 = new Window("dialog", "Window 2");
var btnOk2 = w2.add("button", undefined, "OK");
btnOk2.onClick = function () {
w2.close();
};
w2.show();
}

My company's graphics department develops scientific posters, and as a writer, I often have to make small adjustments to the text and am only given access to edit through InCopy (using version 14.0.2). This problem does not happen with every poster, but I often find that the whole frame of the poster is shifted when I open the assignments file in InCopy (please see example photos). I'm able to make my edits, but I can't export to a PDF without having the bleed, header, etc. shifted as I see it in InCopy. Our graphics department thinks this is a bug in my software. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no success. Any help please???

I'd like to report a bug. Please follow the scenario below:

1. In a single column with lots of text in it, make two columns for a fragment of text

2. In text within the two-column setup, make a footnote. Add several lines of text to the footnote

3. Turn on the "Span Footnotes Across Columns" feature so that footnote ends up in the same group with the footnotes at the bottom of the page rather than below the two-column fragment

4. Expected behaviour: normal editing can be performed after these manipulations

5. Observed behaviour: any text editing after turning on the "Span Footnotes Across Columns" feature becomes lethargic and near impossible. Turning this option off immediately solves the speed issues.

Please log a bug to fix this behaviour.

14.0.2 x64 on Windows 10

Steps:
1. High Quality display mode (default settings)
2. Place any EPS vector file.
3. Attempt to resize it while holding ctrl-shift to maintain ratios.

Expected result:
The vector file, resized.

Actual result:
Grey box. I have to zoom in or out to get the screen to "refresh" and show the correct image.

Similar issue happens with placed AI file. Very simple, clearly. Just a triangle. Made in the latest version of Illustrator.

The Youtube button is an EPS.

Related: If I use the option "Greek Vector Graphics on Drag" it performs correctly, only now I'm viewing a low res image momentarily where on a Mac I was not. It's a "fix" but it's not an acceptable solution to a feature that should work.

when working with factsheets it occurs that there are fields of text that need to be merged. Whenever there is a special character the function doesn't work. This is very very very annoying. It is quite common to use % in text, or brackets (like this)

Also it should be possible to have a blank cell in the excel merge file. E.g. for 45 lines there is info, but for 1 there isn't. This should be able to be left blank and not obliged to fill in a 0 that you manually need to delete later on.

Merging happens for more than letters and product numbers...........

Files created within InDesign are increasing in size dramatically with every CMD + S.

It is not the files linked in the document which are 100 % to the ration they are seen and resetting the cache ~/Library>Caches> Adobe Indesign does not have any effect.

macOS Mojave
Version 10.14.5

InDesign CC 2019
14.0.2

To test this we have created a quick document with an Adobe Support Technician Saptam (see image-01). This document is 1.5 MB and when the design elements have been deleted and the file saved CMD +S you can see the file size doesn't go down (see image-02).

It remains at 1.5 MB and only when you go File > Save As through the navigation menu does the file size drop again to 1 MB.

For illustration purposes this is was only a small test whilst on the chat feature to Adobe. The files I was originally working on were for a point-of-sale suite

Totem
3.55 GB (CMD + S)
644.8 MB (FILE > SAVE AS)

Wobbler
1.49 GB (CMD + S)
279.8 MB (FILE > SAVE AS)

A1 Poster
2.46 GB (CMD + S)
281.1 MB (FILE > SAVE AS)

This is just a few examples and there was no difference between the files or image quality/size changes. Just File > Save As. Whilst CMD + S just added to my file as if it was embedding all the document history.

Hope you can help on this issue.

I have Adobe InDesign 14.0.2 x64, and my book chapters keep showing a spinning wheel when i try to make any change. Say I need to add one letter, after doing so the ball has to spin 10 times until i can do anything else. This is extremely time consuming and is wasting my time when I have to wait 2 minutes after any tiny change before I can make another. I have seen others posting issues about this over a year ago. All fixes people have suggested do nothing for me. Please help.
In reading that it could be cross references causing the issue, i opened chapters to which my current chapter refers, and i still get the spinning ball, but not for as long.

Indesign CC 2019 (Version 14.0.1)
Mac OS Mojave on Mac mini (Late 2014)

Hello, I have a document ready to import XML data, with existing XML structure and tagged elements in page.
Afterwards I import XML data into XML structure and then duplicate (copy and paste) text frame that contains a table with an image placed into a cell table.
If I try to delete resulting duplicated XML tag, application crashes.
Same result if I duplicate (copy and paste) XML tag directly.

These are the steps:

1) Open document with prepared XML structure and tagged elements in page.
2) Import XML file into XML element.
3) Duplicate text frame that contains table (copy and paste)
4) Delete duplicated "Table" tag

The problem seems to be in copying XML element (or text frame) and them paste it: resulting XML structure of the element is incomplete for the cell that contains the image.

Nothing happens if I import XML into new document without structured and tagged XML.

Expected result: delete XML duplicated tag
Actual result: application crash

Hi there,

so for a couple of weeks, my Indesign behaves quite badly.
For demonstration purposes, I created a new blank file but these bugs also occur in existing work projects.

Case 1: GPU switched on (Image: GPU on):
Zooming does not show any effect, only when I click in and change something. The rulers change, but my board/document is not zooming in (Video: Zooming with GPU). As soon as I found my page, the objects don't really move that well, more in a lagging, stocking way. (Video: Moving Objects with GPU).

This leads to massive pain when you try to work fluently.

Case 2: So I switched GPU off (Image GPU off):
This helped with the zoom, it worked again. But then creating objects, for example, text, totally lagged in showing the content. Creating a new text field and typing anything in it leaves it completely blank until I choose a different tool or click outside the box. Also moving those objects does not happen in real time and does not show any preview. (Video: Type and Move without GPU)

This, too, makes it really hard to build any kind of fluent workflow right now.

I uninstalled and installed InDesign and Creative Cloud repeatedly. Other applications don't seem to be affected (Photoshop, Illustrator, XD).

So. Any suggestions?

When I now need to do things in InDesign, I have to give it away to a colleague or use his Computer. Could it also be something with the internal graphics? But why do all other apps work so well then and it's only InDesign behaving badly.

Thank you very much!

Issue: InDesign CC will not open from the Start Menu unless "Run as administrator" is selected. This is not an option for standard users.

It will open OK from the Creative Cloud Desktop App.
