Background Task Seems Stuck
When I create a PDF using InDesign presets, the background task indicator keeps spinning and spinning. When I click on the indicator, I get a dialog box that tells me the name of the file that I exported with the status "Complete. See Alert." However, the alert area is empty. The only way to get it to stop, is to quit InDesign and restart.

Alt-PgDn inserts glyph after moving to next spread
InDesign 16.0 x64
Normally (and on the MAC), the user can press Alt/Opt+PgDn to center the next spread on the screen.
This is now broken on Windows. At least on the 2 PC's I use, both of which are up to date on Windows and Creative Cloud.
What happens now is that when the Alt key is released, a glyph is inserted into the text. And this causes the display to jump back so the insertion point is visible on screen.
Of course, if I'm not currently editing inside a text frame, the glyph doesn't appear, because there's no place for it…

Version of Adobe InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server: 16.0
Steps to reproduce the issues: Go to Home Screen
Expected result: See recent files
Actual result: I see the recent files but I can't read the filenames properly because they are on top of each other. The thumbnails are not aligned as well. Please see attached screenshot.

text turns into Symbols
When I place a document from Word into InDesign and apply a paragraph style the fonts all change to Symbol font. This has been going on for years through multiple versions of the program. Can you please fix it? Or explain how to avoid it?

Scripts
When I updated to InDesign 2021 (V 16.0), all my custom scripts and their associated keyboard shortcuts were gone.
I had to go into my Applications/Adobe InDesign 2020/Scripts/Scripts Panel folder and copy them over into that same folder in the InDesign 2021 folder.
Not sure if it's happening across the board, but thought I'd point out my experience.
Thanks.

items are missing from artwork when i copy it from illustrator and paste it into indesign. So frustrating!!!!
just make seamless copying/pasting between illustrator and InDesign.
would be even better if you can open an Illustrator file with InDesign. or if you could make InDesign like a render queue so you can better compress and save your photoshop and illustrator files to pdfs and other file types

InDesign: Nach Update auf 2021 ist komplettes Dokument zerschossen
Hallo,
nach dem wir von 2020 (15.1.2) auf 2021 (16.x.x) upgedatet hatten, hat es unsere kompletten Magazinseiten zerschossen. Headlines // Fließtexte etc wurden komplett durcheinander gerührt und nicht mehr an der richtigen Stelle stehend angezeigt.Unsere kompletten Stilvorlagen (Absatz- und Zeichenformate) wurden total zerschossen.
InDesign erschwert uns von Update zu Update unsere tägliche professionelle Arbeit.
Wir sind nun erstmal wieder auf die alte Version gegangen, das hat zum Glück funktioniert – aber der Frust in der täglichen Arbeit bleibt!
Wir können nicht ständig unseren kompletten Workflow umstellen! Das geht einfach nicht.

Share For Review, only getting shape tool and pin tool.
In share for review, I only see the pin tool and the shape tool. All of the other reviewing tools that I should be seeing are missing. They appear briefly and then disappear.
2 votesIf the Share for Review was created using the previous version of InDesign – InDesign 2020 (v 15.1/v15.1.1/v15.1.2), then only 2 Tools are visible in the browser – Pin and Draw.
The new Text Tools in Share for Review – Highlight, Strikethrough, and Replace are available ONLY if :
1) Share for Review is initiated from InDesign 2021.
2) Opening a document that was created in an earlier version and initiating Share for Review from InDesign 2021.
3) For Share for Review created from InDesign 2020 (v 15.1/v15.1.1/v15.1.2), you click on the Update Link button in the Share for Review panel in InDesign 2021. (You may have to hit the Refresh button in the browser if the Review was already open there).—

InDesign 2021 is not displaying my documents correctly
I just opened my CV created in InDesign 2020 and after the update to 2021 font styles have changed and text is partially not displayed at all. This leads to the document's layout being off and not usable.

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?

Layered Illustrator File Import
By activating the layers during import, they are not always displayed in Indesign. This makes it impossible to work with all the files already prepared.
In the previous version of Indesign everything worked perfectly.2 votes -
