Indesign 15.1.1 crashes every time when trying to place an AI file of a map that was originally exported from ArcGIS. Maps are complex, but I have never had a problem placing them before this update.

rectangle frame tool
The large X in the frame has disappeared when using the rectangular frame tool. Is this a preference issue or a change to the basic functionality of InDesign? I would really like to be able to use it again. It made my work a lot easier.

graphic frame corners not rounding in publish online document
operating system: Catalina (latest update 10.15.5)
Have generated online published file in both 2019 and 2020 IndesignTo obtain evenly rounded corners on tables in my document I copied the table into a graphic frame and then rounded the corners of the frame. This renders fine when I create a pdf but for some reason when I generate an online publication from indesign one side of the graphic frame edges aren't rounded anymore. The rounding issue only happens with these graphic frames, objects with rounded edges render just fine.

Either the file does not exist... ERROR
I've noticed a pattern when clicking on one of my recent file icons... I use two different cloud storage platforms, Dropbox and Sync. Both services are accessed from local folders on the same external hard drive. When trying to open one of the recent DROPBOX files from the Recent start page, I get the dreaded 'Either the file does not exist...' error.
BUT, when I follow the same process with one of the SYNC files, it opens with no issues.
ALSO, I can open files from EITHER service using the File > Open Recent method.
So... could the problem somehow…

automatic page numbering
InDesign 2020 - I can no longer get automatic page numbers. When I insert special characters>marks>current page number on the master page, it inserts two 'ss' and won't insert an 'A' for the page number? I have copied an automatic page number from an old file and pasted it into this new one I'm working on, and it works OK. Has anyone else got any experience of this? What's your work around or solution?

15.1 and 15.1.1 Locking up and freezing when opening packaged files
Same bug that we had with CS6.
Basically if a Document Fonts folder exists, then opening the INDD file takes forever and/or freezes up constantly while working. But if we rename the subfolder or delete it altogether, then ID performs normally.

Wrong links
I've noticed that whenever a file with links is duplicated on a different server, the copy will link to the images of the original file instead of the ones in its own folder if it can. If those images are modified in the copy, the changes will also appear in the original links instead of the right ones.
This is a huge problem, because what the user think is their most recent version of a work might not actually be at all, which can lead to very serious mistakes, and as far as I can tell it's been going on…

Menu item "Convert footnotes and endnotes" missing
Although my software is up to date, the option "Convert footnotes to endnotes" is missing from my "Type" menu item (image). The interface is in portuguese, but you can see there are only four itens on the footnote/endnote area, the fifth ("Convert footnote to endnote") is really missing...
I tried unistalling and installing InDesign again from Creative Cloud but it didn´t solve this issue. This menu item is also unavailable on Edit>Menus...

page pallet
Indesign 15.1.1 and earlier versions - English supporting Hebrew.
When I create a document with binding right-to-left the page pallet numbers are blurry and hard to read this is not an issue when the document has binding left-to-right. See screen video and screen shot attached.
I am using Windows 10 latest version, but this has been an issue for many year now

Type is shifting inside text box upon moving.
I've been noticing when I use the type tool, I can fill it as normal. Style things with the appropriate fonts/colors but should I move the box it self to a new location the spacing above the font will grow or shrink and shift everything inside that text box. It almost acts like it is adjusting like it has text flow around an image feature selected. Sometimes remove all the styles then re-applying them will fix it but this is issue had been annoying me for maybe the past 2 months.

Italic option in variable fonts
There is no option to change upright/italic in variable fonts.
With Myriad Variable I always go to an italic preset and then adjust the settings from there. But there should be a option right next to the weight and width scales.2 votes -

anchored, free positioned object inside text frame is wrongly wrapped
And this is old bug.
1. place a graphic inline at the start of paragraph,
2. switch on "wrap around" in "text wrap" options
3. make place for graphic making apriopriate left indent for paragraph.
Whole text in paragraph is indented reflecting the shape of wrapped objectThis bug was once repaired few years ago, but now it returned.
