Incopy 2020. Please fix glitch. You have to use scroll bar to click "up" through queue lists - no longer able to click list.
Incopy 2020. Please sort unclickable queue list on northward direction. Now you have to use scroll bar to access queues "higher" up. Revert to system as in previous version? Use of scroll bar is waste of energy. Thanks

spelling e.g
- InDesign 15.0.1 x64 (for Windows 10)
- Check spelling in document. When InDesign comes to the term "e.g." it highlights "e.g" as misspelled. The dictionary includes "e.g." as one of the suggested corrections. If I select that option and use "change," InDesign will correct the term to "e.g.." and then will immediately rehighlight "e.g" as a misspelling.
- Since it already includes e.g. as an option within the dictionary, it should not flag that as a misspelling.
- InDesign does not include the final period as part of the term, and so it consistently flags that term as misspelled.

Palettes disappear after shutting and opening new documents
Version of InDesign 2020
Mac, OS Catalina 10.15.2Palettes disappear after shutting and opening new documents
Every time I open or shut a document, my palettes disappear. Then i have to open and reposition them over and over. This is maddening! I used to work in Adobe CS5 for the longest time and that never gave me an issue. Now that I've updated everything, InDesign is sooo slow, and shuts down all my palettes. I hate this.
Would like to see an Indesign update that fixes the palette issue and the slowness of InDesign. Also I would like to see…1 vote -
Hot Keying the Text Tool has been broken for 2020 versions
The hot key for the Text tool is broken. I've tried the steps of resetting preferences the issue still persists - ever since the 2020 updates, hot keying to the text tool is broken. The tool is selected for a mini second before going back to the selection tool or other previous tool - there are plenty of mentions on this site with very little feedback on if the issue is going to be fixed - please give the community an update.

Cursor should return to starting location after find/change
- InDesign 15.0.1 x64 (Windows 10)
- I have a document with about 20 pages full of text. As I am reading through the text, I notice an error that I need to fix (such as a misspelled name, for example). I activate the the find/change dialog box and run a search and replace to change all of the misspelled names to the correct spelling. When I am finished, I click done in the Find/Change window.
- I may be misremembering, but it seems to me that in past versions of InDesign, when I clicked "Done" my cursor would jump back to the…

2020 moving pages
If I move pages that have hyperlinks from a 2019 ID version (converted), the move crashes ID 2020. The only way to get the move to stop crashing ID 2020 is to delete all the hyperlinks in the source ID doc that was converted from ID 2019.
Version is ID 15.0.1 ... and doing a reboot didn't fix it. I also saved the converted file as IDML to try and remove the "corruption" (that has worked in the past) and the re-constituted INDD file still crashes ID 2020.
If I try to copy and paste a text block with links…

Footnotes disappear
v. 15.0.1 x64, Windows
I am working on a multichapter magazine.
Every chapter starts with a title and the author’s name. After the name comes a footnote call.
If I make changes that add or remove a page in a chapter, all the footnotes on the following chapters disappear. They can be recover by removing the asterisk and inserting it again.
1 voteHi,
Part of this issue was fixed with the latest release of InDesign 15.0.1For all new files created with ID 15.0.1 the issue will not come. For older files opened in ID 15.0.1, you will have to resize, move or do some text editing operation to make the footnote appear
In case you are still facing the issue in new files created post ID 15.0.0 , please share a sample file
Thanks

rotating arrows for image not showing
When selecting an image inside a frame using the A shortcut, or the white arrow, the rotating arrows (that should appear when hovering over the corners of that image) don't show up. It works fine when using the Content Grabber and the black arrow.

Indesign creates blank pages
While I type, in some pages, Indesign moves the text to next page, and creates a blank page. With each letter I type the texts keeps moving on from page to page. I live this in several documents with different layouts.
The version I'm using is 15.0.1, win 10 x64

Ghost text
When I select all the text, the text that appears on the screen is not the one that really exists on that page. I place the cursor in a random place, press a letter and the vision of the true text appears. Then I delete the letter that I have previously put.

Font variant not working since Catalina upgrade
I have an issue/bug that is causing significant workflow issues and stress, and I have brought this up with support, as well as with the font foundry, for months without resolution.
A font variant that I have used regularly (as part of a corporate identity) has disappeared from the font drop down list after I upgraded to macOS Catalina. This issue is happening in all the latest versions of Adobe products (Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.) Only ONE variant is missing -- 'Folio Bk BT - Book'. 'Folio Bk BT - Bold', as well as another similar font 'Folio Lt BT…

In a pixel-dimensioned InDesign document the pixels are always magnetic. There is no option like in Illustrator to deselect 'magnetic pixels
In all version of InDesign, as far as I can remember, pixel dimensioned documents have magnetic pixels. In Illustrator there is an option to deselect magnetic pixels. In InDesign it fails. At least, I think. And the technical assistant from Adobe thinks so.
For instance: if you try to draw a rectangle 3.4 x 4.2 pixels, you can not.1 vote -

Dynamic Spelling not working with Case Sensitive words
InDesign version 2020 15.0.1
We researched how to use Dynamic Spelling to pick up words that should have Title Case, but are lowercase in the document, followed their steps and the result doesn't work.
The words we added in the dictionary with Capital letters, don't get highlighted with dynamic spelling.
Also when we add our own dictionary, InDesign defaults back to User Dictionary.1 vote -
Jpeg exported by Indesign have wrong dimensions when combined into PDF in Acrobat
A company needs to export Indesign documents in jpeg format. The jpeg files produced must be combined into a single PDF file. The problem is that the produced PDF does not maintain the original dimensions of the Indesign file.
The same files opened and saved again by Photoshop, instead, produce PDFs with correct dimensions when processed by Acrobat.
Instead of 480.00 x 330.00 mm, the file appears to have the dimensions of 1,999.99x1,374.8 mm.
It should be noted that by exporting the files in PNG format, the problem does not occur.
They required to export in JPEG format because they…1 vote
