High Sierra InDesign 13.1 NAS File Server
When trying to search my artwork folder (called Color Art) for items containign the word "steak" on my NAS to place an image in InDesign it comes up as if it was empty. If I then leave InDesign and do a search the "steak" images appear. Not having this search function has been crippling to my dept. eating up all sorts of time.

Hi, dragging objects to another layer with the small rectangle in the layerpanel is not secure... it seems that the hotspot or trigger is out of range..
When i click-drag at the left-side of the filled rectangle it works sometimes but is not easy way to order objects like before.2 votes -
double layout page has become a PB spread. some pictures missing
In a 36 page document one double page spread has become a PB spread. some pictures missing, page numbers should be 8 and 9 but show PB instead, page background is grey instead of white, see screen shot attached.
This is a disaster as I have to get the completed magazine to the printer ASAP!

Not what I expected.2 votesWe have released an update for InDesign CC2019 (v 14.0.1) which contains fixes for some key issues.

eyedropper
Eyedropper not working in CC2018 (ME enabled). When I click a blank square then use eyedropper tool to copy color values from an existing vector graphic, the vector graphic container changes color instead. And while testing just now, if I draw two squares, one black one white, then select one to copy the color of the other, the selected square disappears. Text blocks fail to copy too and all eyedropper options are selected. This wasn't an issue with CC17.

There are two different issues mentioned here, and let me address them separately:
1. Clicking a blank square then using eyedropper tool to copy color values from an existing vector graphic, the vector graphic container changes color instead.

If possible, please share your indd file as a package with anasgupt@adobe.com and a small video demonstrating the issue will be really helpful.2. If I draw two squares, one black one white, then select one to copy the color of the other, the selected square disappears.
>>> With InDesign CC (13.0) the transform options have been added to the Eyedropper settings, this includes size and position. It seems that these options for you are checked and when you click on the square to… -

Table with Alternating Row Stroke
When using a table with alternating row strokes, the stroke between the first and second rows is always 1pt, not matter what the cell or table style is set to.
In this example, every other row of the body should be stroked at .5pt. Everything works except the first row, which is 1pt.

Recent files panel
the link to the files in the Home panel is broken or inoperative.
If I close a job under Ind (cc2018- 13.0.1), it is not possible to return to it, even immediately afterwards. I didn't move the file from his folder, but Ind can't find it.I tried to put "0" in the number of files in the preferences, then to quit Ind, then to reopen Ind, to put "1" file in preference and to reopen this same file by the browser, without success.
The pop-up indicates the file moved or locked, which is not the case.

nested hyperlinks
Currently, hyperlinks in InDesign documents don't survive import/nesting into other InDesign documents. It would be great if they did -- it's the only thing preventing me from nesting pages from a "base" document into multiple localized versions...

Editing Text Causes First Line to Move Down
If you edit text, the top line drops down (a little bit? not sure how much), as if the text frame has inset spacing from the top.
