InDesign 14.02 NOT PRINTING
Adobe InDesign 14.02
Only prints a solid line at the top of the page.
No text, diagrams, etc being printed.
When I try exporting to pdf, views OK on screen, but only blank pages will print.(Also, when I tried reverting to previous version, got message saying could not be done because file too complex or similar. Will try this option again, because I have GOT TO PRINT my files
1 voteDeleting all files spooled in the C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS folder and reinstalling the print driver helped resolve the issue.

Drag or transform creates unwanted duplicate of object
Moving any object (text, image, etc) with either the Move tool or Direct Selection tool creates a duplicate without having any other keys pressed (eg, option/alt).
Also when repositioning an object with Properties > Transform it also creates a duplicate of the object.Mac OS 10.14.4
Indesign 14.0.2.3241 voteClearing Prefs and restarting the computer resolved the issue.

rectangle tool not showing stroke and fill in Preview mode
Since the last update the rectangle tool does not show strokes and fills on rectangles and ovals when I switch from Normal to Preview/bleed/slug/presentation mode. The only way I can make a rectangle that shows correctly (and prints) is to create a text box. It is an okay workaround for a while, but I cannot do ovals.
I am on CC, version 14.0.2 x64, and have done all updates.

Properties Panel snaps closed inconveniently
I must admit, I was not a huge fan of the new properties panel, as I found having the properties at the top of my workspace quick, convenient and more easily accessible. In working with typography I've encountered a few issues with the latest release of CC (working on iMac High Sierra):
- If I try to open the character panel, there is a lag time with the dreaded rainbow spinning wheel that either takes way to long to load and sometimes crashes the program.
So, to get around that, I've adopted using the properties panel for type changes, which opens…

A5 paper size wrong
The paper size for A5 in the presets is technically wrong as it should be 148.5mm wide and not 148mm. You can't change the built-in presets but it would be really helpful to do so as our onward print workflow relies on 148.5mm wide files and it's really annoying to have to change it after it's all been designed if you forget to change the page size at the beginning.
1 voteA5 is exactly 148×210 mm and the customer has confirmed that there is nothing to fix.

Size and Position Missing from Object Styles
"Size and Position Options" are missing from Object Styles. The option is simply not listed in the Object Styles options and I cannot find a reason for it anywhere. Everywhere I've searched says it should be there so that I can set a specific placement for an object with that style applied, but it's missing.
I'm using the software at work. It's Adobe InDesign CC - 2017.1 release. 12.1.0.56 x64 build.
1 vote‘Size and Position Options’ in Object Styles is available in InDesign CC 2018 release and later.

new document dialogue wont accept size
INdesign 14.0.1
File > New Document
In the new document dialogue box:I want to create a custom document 190mm wide and 25 mm high.
I enter the 190mm in Width box
I enter 25mm in Height Box
I move out of the Height box and figure I have entered changes to 211.667 mm.this happens no matter if I use the print or web dialogue window.
This makes it impossible for me to start a new document in the size I want
... so that's not a total pain in the **** is it?
1 votePage size cannot be less than the combination of margins.
Expand the Margins in the “New document” dialog and change the Margins for the defined page accordingly.

Text Form Fields do not export with inDesign CC 2018 14.0
Form Fields do not export at all in the PDF when exported in the current version of inDesign. I am using the same exact settings as I did before I updated, and links DO work. Form fields just do not appear.
To recreate:
1) Make boxes where fields are required (in this case, on its own layer, which is visible and active)
2) Using the Buttons and Forms panel, convert them to text boxes
3) Export to PDF, making sure that the boxes for exporting interactive elements are checked, and the dropdown says to include appearanceResulting PDF does not…
1 voteIt looks like you are exporting to a Print PDF.
For the Form Fields to work, you should choose Adobe PDF (Interactive) Format instead.Hope this helps.

Go back to old method of "space after" paragraphs
I'm fine with the concept of allowing users to adjust the "spacing between paragraphs using same style." But the way this feature was added doesn't make sense: I think you should have left the old "space after" system the way it was, and allowed users to add the "spacing between paragraphs using same style" box as an extra option. The way you set it up (unless I'm misunderstanding something), anyone wanting to put spacing between paragraphs now has to enter data into two boxes, whether they want certain sections to have custom spacing or not. It makes the "spacing between…
1 voteAfter selecting the option ‘Ignore’ from the drop-down, the “Space Between the Paragraphs using the same Style” works.

blocks are moved to another layer
When grouped blocks are moved to another layer and then ungrouped, they return to their original layer
1 voteThis is a Feature of InDesign and not a bug.
If you want to stop this from happening, go to the Layers panel flyout menu and uncheck the option called “Ungroup Remembers Layers”. When this option is unchecked, the ungrouped items remain on the same layer as they were (when grouped) and will not return to their original layer.
Hope this helps.

Step and repeat Bug
Step and repeat is not working correctly.
If you have an object, whilst holding option, drag the object to a new position and release, the object is duplicated. This works correctly. If i then select Duplicate from the Edit menu, it should repeat the the last duplication. It does not! It uses the last step and repeat measurement. This is a bug.
This is using indesign 2019.
The bug is not in indesign 2018, it works correctly here
