Library windows when opening and closing documents
When I open a document, a "Sample Buttons and Forms," library window opens, covering up menus, even though I do not have libraries set to display. Likewise, when I close the document, a different (in this case, locally created, window appears). Always the same windows. See screenshots. It's annoying to have to close these windows every time.

Space converting to line break in .idml
Imported Word documents sometimes include invisible character Unicode 2028. In InDesign CC2018 and in Word it looks like a space. When exported to .idml and reopened in client's CS6, it is converted to a Forced Line Break, which is problematic. Can you set 2028 to convert to a space in .idml?

the file does not exist
Adobe InDesign CC 2019, pagina inizio, impossibile aprire i file presenti nella cronologia: "il file non esiste, è usato da un'altra applicazione oppure non disponete delle autorizzazione necessarie".
2 votesIt looks like you may be trying to open files that are shown on the Start screen but are unable to do so.
Please check that the file(s) actually exist at the same location as when they were previously opened/created. If they have been deleted/moved/renamed, etc., the Start screen will continue to show their thumbnails but you won’t be able to open them.
Let us know if this is not the case.

Color Reading Completely Incorrectly
Adobe. This is an insane problem to have not fixed.
Colors are seriously displaying incorrectly. From one program to another the colors look different and they do not at all match the way the color read in 2018.
The attached shows the same color in Indesign 2019 (left) and Illustrator 2019 (right)
This is a serious issue that people have been having since the 2019 update and I cannot believe there is not an update to fix this yet.
Every time Adobe releases an update lately I hesitate to download. The ideas behind the updates are intended to increase functionality…

mapping styles
After assigning a Class in the Para or Character Style definition dialog (in Export Tagging), the Class usually disappears. So when I go to Edit All Export Tags accessed from a flyout in the paragraph, character, or object styles panel, I have to reassign that Class.

Gradient background missing when export as PDF
I just updated to the 2019 version of Adobe InDesign and was sent a file that was created with the same version. Some of the background was made using a gradient and disappears (becomes white) when I export to PDF. My colleague is able export and retain the gradient no problem, so it seems like it is a bug or setting that got changed. My InDesign expert colleagues tried basic troubleshooting and couldn't find the answer, so it doesn't seem to be obvious. Any ideas? Thanks!

gridify when placing images
In Version CC2019 (14.0) the gridify function misbehaves when placing images.
With the gutter-dimension changed for 1 spread the gridify function keeps the same spacing as with the other pages. For drawn shapes using the gridify-function everything acts normal. MacOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra)2 votes -
Page-jump dialog disappears, leaving ID non-interactive
On three occasions since installing CC 2019, I've:
selected [command+j] to jump to a page
had the page-jump dialog appear, grab focus, and then immediately disappear
this has left InDesign in a non-interactive state, where I have to force-quit.

Libraries menu name
The menu name for the CC Libraries needs to be consistent across programs... Photoshop/Illustrator it is called "Libraries" in Windows -> Libraries
In InDesign it is called "CC Libraries". It should be called "Libraries" just like the others.

Interface not accurately displaying position of objects.
This has been happening ever since CC was released, and it drives me nuts.
Example: I have a rectangle perfectly aligned to the grid, but the frame edge does not share the same screen pixel as the grid line when zoomed out. Check the image examples:2 votes -

Unable to export to pdf
Hi there, I am unable to package some of the InDesign files I am working on at the moment. It shows the error messages attached. Initially, it showed a conversion error however now this no longer shows and it just refuses to allow me to export to pdf and therefore package the document. I have no idea how to fix the issue as it doesn't give any indication at to why it isn't working which is super frustrating.

Non-breaking spaces & non-joiner odd behavior
The attached file has a bunch of samples. In summary, ID2018 on Mac considers a word and following spaces as one word; and a non-joiner is ignored. You'll need New Century Schoolbook LT Std to maintain proper spacing.
