1. textframes lose focus

   Since having my computer upgraded to Catalina (10.15.7), InDesign (both 14.0.2 and 16.1) loses focus when I click off of a text frame. I’ve attached a video made in 16.1.
   When I click off a graphic frame, behavior is normal—I can immediately click another element on the page. But when I click off a text frame, note how the Swatches panel disappears and I must click again on the page so InDesign regains focus so that I can then select another element on the page.

2. Letters 'fl' become invisible

   Adobe CC 16.1 x64

   Paragraph style applied to text in text frame:
   [No Paragraph Style] + next: [Same style] + Helvetica Narrow + Oblique +size: 10 pt + left indent: 0.4375 in + first indent: -0.125 - hyphenation + tint: 90% + list: bulleted

   When I type "cash flow" the fl both become invisible as soon as I type the 'l'. Does not happen with any other paragraph style. Does not show as being a different style or color or anything. Letters are still there because I can highlight the space they take up.

   How can these become visible?

3. Can't read XML attributes from tagged image contained into table

   Can't read XML attributes from tagged image contained into table.

   Hello, I have some problems when I use one script Javascript to read XML attributes of tagged images contained into tables.
   One XML file with data is imported into document with existing XML structure. In attached example there is a simply structure with one tagged text frame. When importing XML data, text frame contain one simply tagged table with one tagged image into one cell.
   In earlier versions of Indesign (up to CC 9.2) this script works fine.
   In later versions this script not read correctly these attributes: in CC2020 version script read container cell attributes; in CC2021 instead script read correct XML element but this element appears invalid.
   If I first import XML file into an empty document and then tag the text frame then there is no problems!

   ---

   Adobe InDesign CC2021(16.1)
   MacOS Mojave 10.14.4 on Mac mini (Late 2014) 3 GHz Intel Core i7

   1) New file from scratch
   2) Add new text frame and tag it with "TEXT"
   3) Import example XML file "imgattrs.xml"
   4) Run script file "imgattrs.jsx"

   EXPECTED RESULT: read XML attributes of tag "IMG"
   ACTUAL RESULT: "IMG" xmlElement is not valid.

   ---

   Javascript:

   var doc = app.documents[0];
   var root = doc.xmlElements.firstItem();
   var frame = doc.textFrames[0];

   var xmlelems = root.evaluateXPathExpression("//IMG");
   var rectxml = xmlelems[0];
   if (rectxml && rectxml.isValid) {
   var attrsnames = rectxml.xmlAttributes.everyItem().name;
   var attrsvalues = rect_xml.xmlAttributes.everyItem().value;
   }

   ---

   XML file to import:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
   <Root><TEXT><Table xmlns:aid="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/4.0/" aid:table="table" aid:trows="3" aid:tcols="2"><Cell aid:table="cell" aid:theader="" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="82.91338582677166"></Cell><Cell aid:table="cell" aid:theader="" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="82.91338582677166"></Cell><Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="82.91338582677166"></Cell><Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="82.91338582677166"><IMG href="file://img.jpg" height="42" width="42" object_style="img_listino" noback="1"></IMG></Cell><Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="82.91338582677166"></Cell><Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="82.91338582677166"></Cell></Table></TEXT></Root>

4. Cannot open 10 year old file using InDesign

   I wanted to complain about the fact that I cannot open an ID-file created in 2011 using an 2021, just updated program (16.1-version), even though I need to pay for it a lot. I am working as a volunteer for a non profit organisation that operates worldwide. I am translating materials. Our organisation is small so it takes time to do the translations. How dare you change the systems so that I have less than 10 years time to benefit from the files that others in Europe have created. I think this is pathetic and greedy. Now I need to take time to recreate the template for myself that I could have got ready from our central office. This is so stupid and wrong. And by the way, it did not help to save the file as a idml-file and open it again. Why is it that updating programs always causes so much extra work for your customers? So annoying and frustrating.

5. InDesign 16.1 - nested styles read line break as Paragraph return.

   If I place a shift-return in a paragraph with a nested style, the program reads it as a paragraph return and behaves as if the new line is an new paragraph, adding the starting nested style to the new line.

8. African Ajami diacritics not shaping properly

   InDesign Version 16.01 and 16.1

   InDesign is not properly shaping Arabic diacritics that are used for African languages. When typing the African diacritics they do not attach properly to the base letter and they break script connection. If they African diacritics are substituted for MSA diacritics using Stylistic Sets then it works properly. This problems occurs for all variants of the African Damma.

9. control palette disappears

   When the system comes out of screen saver or sleep mode, the Control palette has disappeared. The only way to make it visible again is to quit and restart the program. InDesign Version 16.1, macOS 10.14.6 Mojave, 2013 MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013). Two monitors: built-in retina display 15.4-inch (2880 x 1800) with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB graphics and 19.5-inch (1920 x 1080) DELL D2015H Display also using NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB graphics. Problem seems to be related to the use of two monitors.

10. IDS 2021 (16.x Windows) Locks up when loading indd file with missing font in paragraph style

    InDesign Server 2021 Windows Edition (16.x)

    We had several indd files that had a Paragraph Style listing a font that was not actually used anywhere in the document (no text in the file was using that font.). In other words, the Style said it used "font a", but there was never ANY text actually using "font a" in the file. "Font A" is a non-system font that was installed on the desktop. If you load the indd file in InDesign Desktop, no errors occur, and Preflight says there are no errors, as expected.
    If you remove the file from the desktop, and then open the indd file in InDesign desktop, you still get no errors and no preflight errors, even though the font is defined in the Paragraph style.
    If you then use COM to control InDesign Server (windows edition), and tell it to load the indd file. InDesign Server will lock up. No errors are shown on the console or event log, IDS just LOCKS UP..
    If you package the indd project and tell it to include document fonts, it will not include the font defined in the Paragraph style unless text using that font is actually in the document.
    I don't think InDesign Server should LOCK UP in this circumstance.

    We had this happen with some 60+ indd files, and it took a lot of trial & error to determine what actually CAUSED the lockup.

    To reproduce:
    1) Use InDesign Desktop to create an InDesign document.
    2) Define a Paragraph style using a font that is NOT installed on the InDesign Server.
    3) Define a text frame using that Paragraph style. Do not actually put ANY text in the frame.
    4) Save the InDesign document.
    5) Use COM to bind to an instance of InDesign server APPLICATION object (called "app" in this example.
    6) Use the APPLICATION instance to open the indd file in OpenCopy mode ((InDesignServer.Document)app.Open(<filename>, InDesignServer.idOpenOptions.idOpenCopy)
    InDesign server will never come back. It locks up.

    If you edit the indd file and change the Paragraph style to be a font that is actually installed on IDS, then the open returns an instance of the DOCUMENT COM object as expected.

11. CC Libraries placing permission error

    Indesign Version 16.1
    Mac OS 10.14

    Indesign doesn´t let me place graphics (testet JPG, PSD, PDF files) trough the CC Libraries panel. I can open/edit them, via double click, in Photoshop/Acrobat/Illustrator though.

    I tested this with older libraries I already had a few versions of Indesign before. I also testet this with a library I just created. Still the same error .

    I attached a Screenshot of the error message.

13. URL link loses its link info

    When importing a Word file whose text includes over 150 URLs, the link info gets dropped for some of those links. This has happened with several competely different projects for me. I am including the Word file, and also a PDF -- exported from the INDD file. The bad links are circled in the PDF (as comments).
    Evidently this site does not allow me to upload the INDD file (even when it is Zipped) -- which seems odd, since you might need it to diagnose the problem.
    THIS IS A BUG REPORT, not an "idea". Prior versions of InDesign did not have this problem.

15. Tracking gets lost with IDML

    Hi guys,
    We use the IDML format to transfer data with our translation office. I realized when I open the translated IDML files again the paragraph styles which include values for tracking in paragraph or character styles lost these values.
    I hope no ther settings in the styles are affected.

    Is there a workaround to fix this or is it already on the bugfix to-do-list?

20. Textbox not showing after exporting

    After exporting my work in pdf form I observed that many of the text boxes in the document did not appear. I tried saving the work in IDML form and resaving but that did not work too. Please can someone help me?
