1. Duplicating pages moves content

   It seems duplicating pages in Indesign 2019 or 2020 moves content around the page. This is the first time I have experienced this after opening an old file, saving it as a new file and then trying to duplicate a page. The fix I found for this is to UNTICK 'Adjust layout' in the 'Layout/Margins and Columns' dialogue box and then try duplicating the page again. This time the content should not move. Definitely an adjust layout bug.

2. Multiple text line links tab out of order

   Not sure if InDesign or Acrobat issue: Using 13.1. InDesign - Recently noticed that if I have text that flows to 2 lines and that has a hyperlink behind it, in Acrobat, the tags show the link as having two Link-OBJR, but they are the reverse of reading order. So if you tab the page, you go from 2nd line of text to first. So,

   'Go to
   the store'

   tabs as if it is 'the store' 'go to'. The underlying link is fine--no issue there--it's the tab order and tag order (tag order perhaps then impacting screen readers/accessibility???).

   This is in a single paragraph block, so not an issue of Article content out of order--the system is doing this. I think this is a recent bug (last 4-6 months?) --but whether in how InDesign feeds this to Acrobat or how Acrobat interprets, I don't know. I can manually fix in Acrobat but re-ordering the Link-OBJR tags, but it makes no sense that I should have to do so. Any idea what is going on?

3. Burmese font rendering error

   InDesign CC 15
   WorldScript doesn't compose Burmese Unicode characters correctly, shifting the location of some characters and not positioning some accents correctly, do you have a plan to fix this as it has been like it for a long time? Other languages like Lao and Khmer have been fixed over time, but not Burmese.

4. Grep expressions with ~F in a character class fail in endnotes

   The inclusion of ~F in a character class invalidates grep expressions in endnotes.

   InDesign version: 14.0.2.324 (with the GREP fix installed)

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Open the attached document. It contains a single page with text and an endnote.
   2. In the GREP tab of the Find/What window, enter the following GREP expression:

   \d[^.,;~F]+

   And target the document. The expression matches from a digit up to the next period, comma, semicolon, or footnote marker.

   Expected result: The expression should match some text in the main text and in the endnote.
   Actual Result: The expression does not match anything in the endnote.

   To show that it's ~F that's the problem, use this expression:

   \d[^.,;]+

   It matches in the main text and in the footnote, as expected.

   The inclusion of ~F in a character class invalidates grep expressions in endnotes.

   InDesign version: 14.0.2.324 (with the GREP fix installed)

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Open the attached document. It contains a single page with text and an endnote.

5. Disappearing footnotes on export

   Since updating to the latest major release of InDesign (14), we have been experiencing issues in one of our templates where footnotes have been disappearing from chapters (documents) in a Book when exporting the Book as a PDF.

   This was not an issue in previous versions of InDesign and the template has not changed.

   Is this perhaps a bug?

   Thanks for reporting the issue. As confirmed from you all, the crash issue is not happening with latest InDesign build. The only remaining issue is that of Grep not working when a period is followed by an endnote marker

8. Weight remains on text when exported to pdf even if changed to zero.

   I am using InDesign CC 2019 14.01 x64.

   Once a stroke weight has been added, if you then change the stroke weight back to zero, then when you export to pdf the pdf will have a stroke weight added to the text, even though the indesign document looks correct. It may not have the original amount of weight that was added, but it will definitely have what looks to be around a .2 weight added.

   However, if you were to start a new document, then add stroke weight, then click edit - undo stroke weight, then it would export to pdf just fine. However if you saved the document with the stroke weight added, and then re-opened and changed the weight to zero, then when you export to pdf it will have a stroke weight still added (around .2, same as above).

   So once you have saved a document with the stroke weight added, then no matter what you do the document will not print without the added weight.

   If ANYBODY has any idea how to fix this then PLEASE let me know :) I was on chat for 4 hours but no luck. I'm really not trying to redo this 600 page book.

10. Bad optical kerning for superscript "4"

    When a superscript "4" follows a closing smart quotation mark, optical kerning is set to -60 or -70 depending on font. This is too close (basically a crash).

    This is annoying for books with lots of endnotes, where superscript numbers usually follow quotation marks.

14. InDesign performance issue: Slow interface

    The new document window is painfully slow. The pallets such as the background task pallet take some visible time to initialise themselves. As a whole the UI is always lagging.

    I'm on a new iMac Pro and this is completely unacceptable. It feels as though the interface is getting in the way instead of making work easier.

15. Hyperlinks between documents in a book file don't work

    I am producing an interactive pdf with hyperlinks to move between pages within the pdf.

    I am doing this using a book file containing 22 indesign documents however some of the links do not work.

    All of the hyperlinks within each document work fine but any that link between the documents just send you to the first page in the book and not to the specified page.

    I am using InDesign CC 13.0.1 on Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.3

    I have produced interactive pdfs in this way before without any issues so this has become broken in one of the recent indesign updates.

    All of the files are stored on our server and there is a workaround which is to copy all of the files on to my local hard disk, but this is not ideal.

18. Import XLSX spreadsheet to an InDesign table: the "-1" problem

    1. InDesign CS4 - CC2017

    2. Generate an Excel spreadsheet that contains at least one cell with the value "-1". Save as XLSX. Import/place (cmd-d) this file as "unformatted table".

    3. the cells with the value "-1" should still have this value.

    4. the cells are empty. All other values seem to show up correctly.

    Additional information: Working regularly on Annual Reports with 100+ tables, our choice is to import as „unformatted table“ and to do all formatting in InDesign. After changes in Excel, all we have to do is updating the linked tables via the link panel. Table contents change, formatting stays. Perfect. But we are dependent on our clients still willing to use the outdated XLS format.

    Please have a look at this problem! Thank you in advance.

19. Flashing screen on selecting text

    Adobe InDesign 2024

    When highlighting text with text tool or selecting multiple items with the selection tool and dragging with the mouse held down, the screen flashes rapidly between the document and plain white - this makes the ID document contents not visible on the screen so you can't actually see what you are doing - eg can't see what text is being highlighted

    Please fix asap - it is making ID virtually unusable!

20. Scrolling is glitchy or nonfunctional in InDesign 2024

    Scrolling with a mouse (not the trackpad) through a document vertically or horizontally works, but not always. Zooming in by holding Alt and then scrolling is unusable because trying to zoom in causes everything to zoom all the way out, and continuing to try to zoom in only works sometimes.

    I have tried this with multiple mouses, and the issue does not occur in any other program, including InDesign 2023.

    In the attached video, I am holding Alt and trying to zoom in.
