Type Tool Flicker
Specs:
InDesign CC2018 (13.1)
Mac Pro Late 2013
Mac OS Mojave (10.14.3)
64 GB RAM
AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB
Any document when first opened will blink the document window (not the entire screen - just the document) when clicking into a frame with the Type tool.
It occurs one time only then the remainder of work on that document is fine.
Open another document, issue reoccurs.
Double-clicking a text frame with the Selection tool will not blink and take you into the text frame without issue.
I've reset ID Prefs, removed all third party plugins and zapped my PRAM…

Multiple clicks on menu items with the same results.
When clicking on menu items the menu item should appear.

hyperlinks missing or corrupt when opening CC2017 documents into CC2019
InDesign files opened from CC2017 (They were on our backup server from a job 3 years ago) using InDesign 14.0.2 x64 on Win10 64bit (CC2019) -
They open fine without any issue except the hyperlinks - they are all broken/corrupt. When doubleclicking on one, it is effectively blank, as if I were making a new one.
I tried saving as .idml and reloading, but it was still the same. How can I get these hyperlinks back to normal? Do I have to reinstall CC2017 again (is that even possible?).
Any help greatly appreciated2 votesTo identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it. You might have also received email from us seeking more details to help in our investigation.
We’ve concluded our investigation and came up with the finding : Either the issue is fixed in the latest release of InDesign or the issue was intermittent in nature at the time of its reporting and is not reproducible now.
We recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of InDesign 2020 (if you’re not already on it) as it is more robust.
If you still face this issue even after updating to the latest version of InDesign, start a new thread by adding all the relevant details.

Endnotes in text flow - Not on a separate page
Import endnotes as plain text in the text flow. NOT on a separate page! How hard is this to understand? I groom text in one document and then copy and paste the magazine article/book chapter into another Indesign file. I can't do this if you put the endnotes in a separate text flow. It's really terrible! Dynamic notes has just been a complete failure!

No Font Spacing Between Words in InDesign 2019 14.0.x-2 on Mojave 10.14.x-4, Works fine in InDesign 2014 (v10.0.70) on Yosemite (10.10.5)
Posted it here too: https://forums.adobe.com/message/11049072#11049072
So, we've had this issue on our new MacBook Pro running macOS Mojave v10.14.4 ever since last year in August when we were on High Sierra (what came with the Mac).
Basically, InDesign is unusable with Gujarati Sangam MN on the 2019 version but on 2014 (v10.0.0.70) version on my old Mac (OS X Yosemite, v10.10.5) it works fine.
What's causing this issue?
We've tried the following:
Contacted Adobe & Apple support: Apple said to contact Adobe, Adobe was unhelpful, they suggested we look up if the font was installed it it is on the…

Placed Illustrator files do not show transparency correctly on GPU Preview
When placing an .ai file with transparency, the file renders without any alpha channel at all in GPU Preview. Switch to CPU Preview, and the .ai files render correctly. Transparency should be shown in both modes, right?

Некорректно работает пробная версия
При запуске Indesign вылазит окошко с активацией пробной 7-дневной версии, после ее активации данное окно не пропадает и появляется на экране каждые 10 секунд. Что-либо редактировать в файле не получается. Помимо этого это окно с активацией еще и тормозит, какой смысл давать пользоваться демо-версией 7 дней, если она работает неправильно?

Updating to Mac OSX Mojave, Indesign now behaving slow and shortcut make new document does not work anymore
Drawing a box, moving it around etc is now a kind of laggy. Moves but slow and kind of stuttering.
The GUI overall, menus etc, behaves a bit slower as well. Not much but not as quick and responsive at it was in Sierra.
Have tried de-activating GPU but that has no difference at all.
I have the latest version, 14.0.2.
Updated to Mojave because the Adobe chat support suggested that would help out some other issues I have had.
One reason was that command + new shortcut stopped working. And now it stopped working again...Same thing happens in…

InDesign opens two files when only one selected.
When I open a file, InDesign will open another file at the same time, one that I didn't select. Not a horrible inconvenience, but why is this happening?

InDesign-window "Missing Links in document" does not appear when Microsoft DFS-Links not available
SITUATION
We migrated our old Active Directory "OldAD.ads" to a complete new one "NewAD.ads"
We use InDesign CC2019 (latest Version)All out file-shares are mounted on client computers with Microsoft DFS-Links.
- Old DFS-Link: \OldAD\DFS\OldShare - The DFS-Links points to a share on our old fileserver: \OldFileServer.OldAD.ads\Share_OLD
All shares on the old fileserver are closed, so the DFS-Links have no destination but are still "available".- New DFS-Link: \NewAD\DFS\NewShare - The DFS-Links points to a share on our new fileserver: \NewFileServer.NewAD.ads\Share_NEW
Both fileservers hold "their" (Active Directory based) DFS-structure.
Of course, all users open their files on the new fileserver, shares…

Unusable actual InDesign CC 2019
Actually InDesign is not production ready. Every few seconds the beach ball spins. I found a workaround which is … well ok but not satisfying: As long as I work in the idml-file it works but as soon as I'm opening an indd file the program slows down extremely.
That can't be the solution! Why don't you see that?

CC Library after last update now puts white box around all graphics
After the latest update, when I use my library to place a logo on a page in InDesign, it now almost looks like a white background PNG instead of the logo without any background. Running into printing issues with white boxes around all of our CC Library Graphics.
