Stuff missing when writing pdf
When I try to write a PDF using 2021, I often get a failure, or the PDF writes, but a load of detail is missing from it. The only workaround seems to be to write the PDF from the desktop.
What's going on?

line break between XML elements not behaving as expected
I have some XML in this format:
<ROOT><DOCUMENT>
<CHAPTER>Chapter One</CHAPTER>
<CONTENT>This is what happened in Chapter 1.</CONTENT>
<CHAPTER>Chapter Two</CHAPTER>
<CONTENT>This is what happened in Chapter 2.</CONTENT>
</DOCUMENT></ROOT>I have a pre-tagged template where the <CHAPTER> tag maps to a paragraph style with Keep Options, start paragraph=Next page (i.e., every new chapter should start on a new page). The <CONTENT> tag maps to a basic paragraph style, and <ROOT> and <DOCUMENT> are not mapped.
Notice there is a line break in the XML after <DOCUMENT>.
After importing, the result is that page 1 appears blank (because of the line break) and…

Impossible to copy text from InDesign 2021 to other applications
It is impossible to copy any text from InDesign 2021 to other applications as Notepad or Excel.
When copying any text in InDesign, the Windows clipboard becomes empty even if there was anything.
However, it is possible to paste into InDesign any text from InDesign and any other text from outside of InDesign.
Resetting settings using Ctrl-Shift-Del at InDesign start and changing settings “Copy/paste in PDF format” didn’t help.1 vote -

Selection tool issue in the latest version of InDesign.
The selection tool now only works to change the size of boxes (text, images), it no longer lets you move the boxes around the page. To move boxes you know have to switch tools to the Free Transform Tool which makes everything more time consuming.

[BUG] [IND] [CC2021] Wrong language installed
With this message, I would like to report a bug.
The Creative Cloud desktop app installs the wrong language for Indesign. Default is set to English, but it installs Dutch.
Removing the older Indesign CC2020 and installing it again, it installs my default language (UK). For CC2021 it only installs Dutch. I'm using Os X 10.14.6.

Assigned character style is ignored when you generate index
If you manually assign certain Character Style to an index entry (for instance Bold) and the same index expression appears on the particular page more than once, Bold is often ignored when generating the index. It is properly generated only when the expression is the first one in the list.
If you assign style (Bold) to second or third appearance of the expression on a page and generate index, the character style is ignored.This feature is important. Certain index entries may be highlighted because the show page number of illustration, table, headline etc. So it is important to keep…

Arrange object after unhide
Using Adobe InDesign 15.0.1 x64 (CC 2020), after I unhid several linked image objects, I was unable to arrange those elements forward or backward to make it visible on top of other elements. The objects were not locked as I checked several times and even copying / pasting them would not allow me to rearrange them. Restarting solved the problem after I spent 20 minutes fighting with it.

Relinking / opening new documents window broken
When I try to relink or open a new document (anything that involves locating a file from my MAC) I can no longer select shortcuts from my sidebar. The folder icons are placeholder documents rather than folder icons. Clicking on them has no effect.

Spacing text is different in InDesign 2021
When opening a document in version 2021 which is created in 2020, the text looks exactly the same, but when you try to change the spacing of a word, the whole alinea is recreating a whole new spacing. Looks like it has something to do with metric, but it's really annoying. Spacing one word means re-spacing the whole alinea. Anyone else experienced the same?

Files created in Indesign 2020 try opening in Indesign 2019. Should I deinstall 2019?
I create files in Indesign 2020 and save them. The next day I'll double-click on that file to open it and it tries to open in Indesign 2019 and wants me to convert it. Why does it just not open in ID 2020? Should I uninstall 2019?
