   Thanks for reporting the issue. As confirmed from you all, the crash issue is not happening with latest InDesign build. The only remaining issue is that of Grep not working when a period is followed by an endnote marker

   We will look into the issue shortly.

2. [ID-4199810]Cross reference takes more space than its text

   > >A cross reference sometimes takes up more space than its actual text.> >In the attached shows a frame with text with the right side of the text frame visible and the word "with" (above) extending well beyond the 2nd to last line in the frame.

3. Adjust Layout: add an option to ignore objects anchored in text or bring back legacy (2018) layout adjustment

   > >I always made extensive use of the old layout adjustment feature in 'margins and columns', yet the new 'adjust layout' gives inconsistent and confusing results, resizing objects that never used to get changed. > >It's gone from being very useful to a liability.> >For me it was great for resizing the main text frame on multi-page (100s+ pages) books, but leaving the objects pasted into the text frame alone (figures, etc). Also moving page numbers aligned with margins, but not changing the sizes. > >The new feature stretches and distorts carefully measured objects/figures, changes anchored object settings (at least, things move about incorrectly without the numbers updating) and causes other weird behaviours.> >

   Hello All,

   Thank you for your patience all this while, We have concluded our investigation into the issue and below is our finding.

   This issue is due to the use of a specific version of Extensis Universal Type client: version 6.1.6.
   The issue is reproducible only with Id 2018 as Extensis UTC 6.1.6 is not compatible with Id 2019.

   Please note:
   If you are using Extensis UTC 6.1.6 with InDesign 2018 please use any other version of Extensis UTC which is compatible with Id 2018 to avoid this issue.

   Or you can upgrade to Id 2019 and used compatible version of Extensis UTC.

   Thanks,
   InDesign Team

12. InDesign CC 2018 stalls to a spinning beachball right after opening for a brief time

    > >On first opening InDesign in Sierra 10.2.4, after a couple of seconds of not taking any action, InDesign stalls briefly—about 3 to 4 seconds—not allowing any new action during that time. There is just a spinning beachball. I can postpone the beachball by immediately opening a menu; but after mousing away from the menu the beachball comes back. Not sure if it is trying to load something, but I currently don't have any extra extensions installed. I tried resetting preferences and removing all user install scripts, but it still did it. It's consistent every time I open the new version. I did not carry forward preferences from previous versions. My CC library is synced and not showing any connection issues. Not a major bug, sort of the equivalent of tripping over the same spot of carpet whenever you enter into a room.> >

    Hello All,

    Thank you for reporting the issue and allowing us some time to complete our investigation into the issue.
    As the part of our investigation, we had reached out to many of you personally over email and we could come up with the below mentioned findings.

    1. For many of the users the issue got fixed after updating InDesign to a newer version.
    2. For the majority of the users the issue was intermittent and is no longer reproducible.
    3. We also found few cases where the performance issue was identified to be related to span columns, cross-references, third party plugin etc.

    Please note that we have created separate threads for these issues and we are now working towards resolving them.

    However, over the time this thread has become too generic to serve its purpose effectively. As per your feedback and the outcome of our investigation we have created multiple threads to address each of the root causes separately and effectively.
    If you are facing any slowness in InDesign or seeing any other performance issue, we request you vote for the relevant thread or create a new thread specifying the action/workflow which is slowing you down.
    We seek your support in our continuous effort to improve InDesign.

18. BUG: Small Caps not applied correctly to Variable Text with World-ready Composer

    > >Using Adobe Indesign 19.3 on MacOS 14.4, Apple M1.> >Steps to reproduce:> 1. Make new document.> 2. Define a text variable "Test" with custom text "Handgloves".> 3. Insert variable in text frame.> 4. Set the composer for that paragraph to "World-ready..."> 5. Set the paragraph in Small Caps> 6. Try different fonts.> >Expected result: small caps.> >Actual Result: only first two characters are changed to small caps. Typing characters after the variable placeholder changes how many characters are changed to small caps. See attached video.> >Workaround is to change the paragraph to a non World-ready composer.> >Note: may be related to >this bug>.> >

19. Flashing screen on selecting text

    > >Adobe InDesign 2024> >When highlighting text with text tool or selecting multiple items with the selection tool and dragging with the mouse held down, the screen flashes rapidly between the document and plain white - this makes the ID document contents not visible on the screen so you can't actually see what you are doing - eg can't see what text is being highlighted > >Please fix asap - it is making ID virtually unusable!> >
